Fast thinking? When?!

If a person says something to me but doesn't get my attention with a "hey" or similar first, queue my brain locking up and rebooting as I stammer out a response. There's my fast thinking.

If everyone on .world just blocked a handful of people, the issue would disappear. It's mostly a small number of shitheads using a common "enemy" for attention and power.

The .ml/tankie witch hunts on .world are what got me to jump. It's just exhausting.

Great so far! There are a ton of fellow tourists and it's a bit pricey, but it's beautiful and the people are very nice. Plus where else can you eat a puffin?

She's famous for vociferously promoting spitting on a man's penis for use as lubricant during oral sex.

Any parent who says you owe them love and respect simply because they birthed you is likely someone you should cut ties with. Don't ask me how I know.

I love my chosen family far more than most of my genetic relatives.

Capitalism and being an oligarchy are neither mutually exclusive nor mutually inclusive, nor is the presence or absence of competition neither mutually inclusive or exclusive of oppression of others for gain. One could argue, though, that capitalism tends to eventually lead to oligarchies and, as the graphic suggests, oppression for gain as these are both strategies to maximize gain and the capitalist operator with the most gain can use that gain to further increase future gain, and so on. This can lead to the systematic selection for oligarchic, oppressive capitalists.

Norway is rich, like many other countries, due to its economic oppression of the global South. While its distribution of that wealth is more equitable than the United States, it still relies on the same system of oppression to accrue disproportionate wealth.

Because the Overton window in the United States has many people viewing fascists as friends and anyone further left than center right as "extreme left wing socialist communist Nazi terrorists".

I think he does help some people, primarily his rich donors and the rest of the do nothing class.

I'm getting toward the last, my favorite singers are dying. My wife and I just saw the B-52s in concert. They are in their mid seventies. They were in their thirties when I started listening to them. Ugh.
