Capitalism benefits from homelessness because it scares people into spending their lives at their shitty jobs, making their bosses rich. Most countries with homeless populations want to keep it that way.

It’s funny that you mentioned this, because the crappy website is one of the things that sold me on it. It reminds me of the old internet.

It’s also surprisingly affordable, I got a 3 year subscription for something like $60. I was during a sale.

AirVPN (Eddie) has port forwarding. The interface isn’t very appealing and their website is meh, but it works and I got a great deal on a 3 year subscription.

Oh fuck off. There were over 5 million people protesting yesterday.

Annnnnnnd what? When did I dehumanize you? Human nature is precisely why I think a libertarian system would be a disaster.

Maybe you should refer to yourself as a geolibertarian instead of just as a libertarian. It would prevent some misunderstandings.

That’s an interesting read. It’s quite a bit different than what I’m used to people who call themselves libertarians talking about. I still think it would unwind and would be ruined by human nature, but it would be interesting to see such a system in action.

It’s rule 3, but you are otherwise correct. I reported it and encourage others to do the same.

Cats are invasive predators and are causing birds to go extinct. They kill 4 billion birds in the lower 48 every year.

Where would a cat get food outside? They rarely eat animals they catch.

In a purely libertarian society, parks wouldn’t last long. They would either become prohibitely expensive and yet another thing only for the rich, or they would be harvested and the land mined.

Making them public is the only way to ensure they remain as they are.

You can’t be both a libertarian and pretend to care about parks and forests. Pick one.

I don’t think there’s been a turn based game that has sold as well as BG3 in a long time. They’re just chasing trends. Something like XCOM is a better comparison in terms of gameplay and style, but doesn’t have the sales that BG3 has.

I knew that the success of BG3 would have an impact on the industry, it was only a matter of time. This sounds fun.

I guess I didn’t know that. Yikes. I’m glad I don’t eat many canned goods.

Cat obesity isn’t actually funny in real life, it’s animal abuse.

Oh! Interesting. Eating cold soup out of the can sure is a vibe. Way to be yourself!

Don’t eat from the can. The inside of the can is lined with plastic, so if you heat the can itself the plastic will leach into your food.

I don’t. At least not anymore. I used to have a 40 hour, Monday through Friday job, but I had to find something else or I would’ve ended up having a breakdown. I’m autistic, and my life has been a series of periods of trying to be the person society wants me to be, failing, and then spending several years burnt out and unable to function before repeating the whole process. If I hadn’t been able to live with one of my parents during those burnout periods I would’ve likely ended up homeless.

I’ve found that I simply cannot work 5 days a week. Even 40 hours over 4 work days will eventually burn me out. So I found a job that offers 12 hour shifts, and I work weekends. I pick up one or two shifts during the work week when they’re available. I average 32 hours a week.

It’s unarmed security, and it works for me, even though it doesn’t pay well. I’ve just accepted that I will be poor, and my life is much better this way. Capitalism has brainwashed us into believing that money is more valuable than time, and there’s something wrong with you if you can’t match what is expected of you.

Alan Wake 2 has great voice acting. I think the main character is just naturally more subdued and when compared with the theatricality of BG3 it just seems worse if you’re expecting that style.

Yam tits! That is genuinely a new one for me. Excellent.

I’ll never, as long as I may live, get over the utter embarrassment of being born and raised in a country who could support that maniac. I suppose the worst thing I could do is leave. The only way to alleviate my shame is to stay and keep voting for the least insane option.

I’m autistic and trying to figure out if autism is an at-risk minority group. It doesn’t help that I was extremely vocal on Reddit about how much I hate Trump and Musk. I deleted my account, but Reddit is now a fascist platform and would likely turn over my posts and email address to this administration without a second thought.

I’m not sure what to do. I’m not sure if I could even leave at all, with my debilitating anxiety and trauma.
