I hate buses so much. Trains are easy, reliable, straightforward. No nonsense. You can trust them. Buses are evil, deceitful creatures who delight in your suffering

yeah thatโ€™s fair

iโ€™ve said it before and iโ€™ll say it again: what we want is for these things to be run like a HOUSEHOLDโ€ฆ a home. A household still has a budget and an income and resources to manage; all the moving parts are the same but the focus is different.

a business will let every person in it die a terrible death if it makes the business profit. A household will spend itโ€™s last dollar to keep the people in it safe and healthy.

A household will use money as a resource to add value to the lives of the people in the household. A business will use people as a resource to add monetary value to the business

We donโ€™t want a government run like a business, we want a country run like a household. Because we live here.

im sorry but when you grow up and interact with people irl youre gonna have friends where you dont fw their tastes. sometimes youre gonna meet someone chill whos also a hazbin hotel fan or have a really nice coworker that likes taylor swift and youre gonna need to mind your business and shut the fuck up or youre gonna be real lonely

Who the fuck is voting no and can you please give me your money? Sincerely someone who makes about $17,000 a year

Someone who makes $65k may not be "as poor" as someone who makes $17k a year but that doesn't make them rich. You're both still pretty damn poor.

They're only making about $31 an hour. This is how much my mom makes as a nurse, an "essential worker."

She has just enough money to pay her bills. She lives in a tiny, crappy house. Her car is ancient and falling apart. She doesn't have enough money to pay for all the healthcare she needs, including $20,000 of dental work she can never afford.

When I lived with her and she was a single mom, we could never afford the doctor and could barely afford food sometimes.

She will never be able to retire.

How tf do you think that is rich?

Frankly, my mom is still poor.

Your enemy isn't the person makes $65,000, or even some doctor or lawyer making $165,000. It's the people making billions off of everyone else's labor.

You can't eat the rich if you think every single person making more money than you is rich.

The working class is incredibly large. It's hard to survive on $65k and harder to survive on $17k. Neither one is comfortable.

The definition I tend to use is: if you lost your job and couldn't get another, are you fucked? If the answer is yes, you're not rich. Even if it's "I could last for several months on savings and whatnot, but yeah, after that I'd be fucked."

Rich people may have jobs and salaries, but they aren't dependent on them. "Rich" means you own things that make enough money by themselves that you don't have to have a job if you don't want to.

A pithy way to put it is: well-off people own things that cost a lot of money. Rich people own things that make a lot of money.

Hardest part of writing is accepting that some people will not fucking get it & you just have to like cope with that because over-explaining it just makes it worse

I will not over-explain my art to the stupidest people on earth. I'm writing for people who know what I'm talking about. Mantra that will save you. David Lynch was right

I started using Head and Shoulders ten years ago for itchy scalp and dandruff, and then for ten years I have not had itchy scalp and dandruff, so I thought โ€œwhy do I still buy shampoo to combat itchy scalp and dandruff when I do not have itchy scalp and dandruff,โ€ so I stopped buying the shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff and can you guess I have now? Can you predict what currently afflicts me? Itโ€™s alright if you canโ€™t because apparently I fuckin couldnโ€™t either

Cutting something out of your life because you think you donโ€™t need it any more only to realize that it was in fact working as intended and preventing a problem that will return should you stop doing this is a good experiment to run periodically with something small like dandruff shampoo, lest you start to think it would be a good idea to do this with like letโ€™s say public health and the social safety net and vaccines

I had a liver transplant when I was 14 and like six months later I was chatting with my surgeon and he said โ€œthereโ€™s gonna come a time, probably when youโ€™re a teenager, where youโ€™re gonna think, โ€˜I feel great, why am I still taking all this medication? I havenโ€™t needed it in years.โ€™ and youโ€™re gonna want to stop taking all this medication. Guess whatโ€™s gonna happen then? Youโ€™re gonna go into rejection and your liver is gonna start failing, and youโ€™re gonna be dying again, and weโ€™re gonna have to find you another liver. So donโ€™t do that.โ€ And I said โ€œwhy the fuck would anyone do that?โ€ and he said โ€œpeople are stupid.โ€

every once in a while when I get annoyed by a pharmacy or donโ€™t wanna get out of bed to do my drugs I think โ€œugh, this is dumb, why do I do this?โ€ and that conversation slams into me like a truck and I remember that I am, in fact, stupid

Every person on earth needs to read this post. It will make peopleโ€™s lives a lot better and lessen the crises everyone faces in day-to-day lives.

Have you ever looked closely at a car windshield?

The edge of the glass is painted where it is glued to the car but it has these small dots between the clear and painted glass.

These are there for a reason. When the sun hits the glass the painted areas and the clear areas will absorb heat at different rates. This causes the glass to expand and contract differently putting stress on the glass.

These dots help the glass to warm up more evenly over a larger area so the glass does not suffer stress that could cause it to spontaneously explode.

Fun fact: the Tesla cybertruck doesnโ€™t have these.

Yes, the glass will spontaneously crack or explode in the sun.

The genres of TMA episodes:

-some dude I know is acting weird

-some dude I donโ€™t know is acting weird

-help I got trapped in a place and it wonโ€™t let me out

-meat

-alternatively, worms

-this episode has actual plot in it but you wonโ€™t realize until twenty episodes later

-I am straight up a supernatural entity giving this interview

-something happened and I cannot prove it happened

-I am literally confessing to murder

its just embarrassing when you make a fandom related post and it doesnt get any notes like okay. so no one want to play tuoys with me. no one wants to play with our little guys together. okay thats fine. yeah its cool... puts my hands in my jacket pockets. kicks a beer can that was on the side of the road a little

it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.
