  • Kat had an understandablerer question
  • Typical white shit. Reminds me of when I’d see white girls bullying a smaller black girl and then as soon as her bigger friend stepped in to help the teachers pulled her off and got her suspended.

  • The flooding actually seems to have slowed down for now. Departments further west of us are now going through it. We’ve been through a lot of natural disasters this year. Last month also had a lot of flash floods and mudslides. We’re in a region of the country that’s known as the “drought belt” and when we finally get water it’s in the form of floods and storms.

    The storms for this month have been bad but thankfully haven’t lasted nearly as long. Or at least that’s the cope I’m telling myself. Hopefully round 2 isn’t right around the corner.

    "Nut up" and vote for Biden. Also - I don't agree with Biden's actions regarding Gaza but...
  • Lmao even the deepest red states still have elections, as heavily gerrymandered and rigged as they are.

  • Watching the office in its entirety for the 25th time but don’t like watching movies because they’re too long

  • It's over. Games will be political with Chinese characteristics.
  • I don’t really hang out with gamers or game much anymore. But I unfortunately live in a heavily conservative country and work in a field filled with right-wingers. People who don’t even game post his shit on social media all the damn time. It’s not like I’m all that active on social media either. I just see it frequently enough to be annoyed by it.

    I’m glad the grass where you live is free from this idiot because that’s sadly not the case for me.

  • BlueMAGA = Trump-to-Biden voters
  • They won’t change even when the Republicans are a non-issue. Deep blue states show this is the case. Just look at New York and California for example.

    Obviously true crime is pretty distasteful in many many ways, but does anyone remember this case (weirdo obsessed classmate stalked and murdered her) (cw violence, SA)
  • I remember this one. Guy was a complete “nice guy” and the police interrogating him were awful. “Doncha laik women Stephen?”

  • US sends land-attack missile system to Philippines for exercises in apparent message to China
  • The Philippines are Baltics level of cucked. I remember a poll showing they love America more than Americans do.

  • Holy fuck I’m sick of seeing this guy everywhere. People keep posting his shit and saying, “wow this guy gets it! An American who doesn’t fall for the woke agenda!”

  • Let me guess, "anonymous sources told Radio Free Asia."
  • You’re probably not far off with how heavily that site is astroturfed. Their attitude on domestic politics, Russia, and Israel differ too much from the average person

  • I don't know if it's a server problem but all my mastodon feed is this over and over again
  • I saw that. They’re going to get a lot more bloodthirsty.

  • Average NATO leftist

    These people love to accuse others of having a simplistic worldview when they can only view geopolitical conflicts as good vs. evil.

    VOTE FOR BIDEN BECAUSE TRUMP BAD. ALSO BIDEN NEEDS TO SUPPORT ISRAEL BECAUSE IT'S HIS JOB.

    This is from a "leftist" sub. This same user then says they're muslim and that everybody objecting to their take doesn't understand politics and is an edgy teenage tankie larper.

    I'm fucking done with NATO leftists on these subs and sticking to TheDeprogram and SLS before I give myself an aneurysm

    Need some advice to help a friend out

    One of my childhood friends is finding himself in a tough situation. He's autistic and has struggled to make decent money for most of his life. He recently got a job working as a dishwasher while looking for a trade to get into.

    His parents are when the issues kick in. They charge him rent (he's 31 btw) that's currently only $107. They used to charge him $300 back in 2014 and would have it go up by $50 every year to the point he was paying $600 before Covid hit. He still had to pay rent while in school and his parents refused to stop it during that time. The majority of his unemployment checks during Covid went into their rent.

    They decided to change things by having him go on foodstamps in order to reduce his rent. He spends maybe $20 a week at the most for food because he's never been a big eater. Most of that foodstamp money goes to his parents who use it for groceries, including his. The thing is that they spend way more than he ever does and completely max out the card every month.

    He's been under stress lately because he has to re-certify but his new job has a schedule that's all over the place and makes it so he keeps missing the calls when they happen. His parents insist that part of this process is to help him with his Autism and "become an adult." The stress got so bad for him with all the missed calls that he threw his hands up and decided to just not re-certify because it was adding too much stress in his life. His parents responded angrily by saying he would then "owe" them money in the form of $250 a month plus the $174 he already owes from a loan he took out five years ago.

    The big kicker is that they're a pretty wealthy family living in a very wealthy part of Upstate New York, but they leech off what little money he has like vultures. The whole rent thing is said to be helping him with his Autism to become more self-sufficient but if anything it's made him more financially dependent on them than anything.

    I know this was more of a rant than anything, but it's been difficult listening to this for years now and seeing him still stuck living with them. It's pretty clear to me that he's scared of moving out of their nice house and living in some sketchy apartment without a car because he can't afford one. I'm just not sure what else there is to do because I'm not living in the US and am unfamiliar with how social services work there.

    Is there a way for him to get out and not be living on the edge of poverty?
