I don't hate free speech. There's just nothing saying I HAVE to listen to someone spewing hate and misinformation. Especially all the hate and misinformation that's put me in danger for years because of me being queer or neurodivergent.

Capitalism at work. Why pay when you pay politicians to avoid needing to through fines?

Nah free speech means the government won't stop you. It doesn't mean we gotta listen to you or give you a platform for the hate whether it's irl or online. Gotta read that first ammendment a bit more throughly my dude

I just wish there was a alternative for us introverts. Being a younger millennial(zillenial??? Idek), it's rough finding people. Esp being audhd and moving right before the pandemic and just not being able to predict people and catch their interest sigh

I just wanna say this is irony that it came up on a work machine tho. Like they really trying to get you out of there 🤣

One of many reasons I'm on Linux now and have been for years. I got tired of the bs and the increasing need fo reinstall often they forced on me....At least when I do it, it's my fault or I'm jumping distros lol

I mean he's always been considered a moderate. The voting system encouraged him through since we can't get voting reforms to pass. What I wouldn't give for ranked elimination style voting or something.... I'm so tired of being continually screwed by the system and it encouraging the gerrymandering that happened in my state despite our own laws against it

Nah should be Dopamine attention variability executive disorder(I'm misremembering it I'm sure somehow). Otherwise known as DAVE
