my rental office rose my rend $200 and I couldn’t afford deposit on a new place. am fucked.

Not again! Ugh

I think they just want to kill Russians anywhere and everywhere. That’s one less that will come to Ukraine. I don’t blame them

Oof. I feel like it’s my generation’s fault somehow, but I don’t think we’re old enough to have kids that are that old. Maybe it was gen X? But I just can’t see either melleniels (my brain can’t spell it right now for some reason) or gen x teaching that? But maybe I’m wrong. Or maybe it’s the greater society that instills it instead of their parents.

Jesus . Did nobody ever teach the kids, if you can’t afford it, do without? (Not counting necessities of course). Like I thought the keeping up with appearances thing wasn’t that big, but I’m starting to see that it’s very real. Like the idea of debt terrifies me.

I see this so much from my coworkers. I could never. I’d rather do without or just steal if I really need something. Credit like that is a trap. I learned that from growing up poor. I’m 36 and debt free and I’m not going back. I’m not buying every day things on credit. I can wait a few paychecks if I need to.

Wait until they learn about zoom lenses.

I mean it’s the same with racist assholes end up having mixed grandchildren. Flips them completely From what I’ve seen

Oh we’re seeing all the bad will caused by the CIA throughout the 60s-80s and countless wars in my lifetime finally catch up with us. People in the Americas and Africa have learned what we did in their countries to keep murderous despots in power in the name of fighting communism and protecting business interests.

All China and Russia had to do to get them to start flipping was a little money, and not even that in some cases.

Just try to live my life like I did during all the bad presidents I’ve had over my life. I grew up protesting against George Bush Jr and my friends still died in Iraq. now I just try to live my best life, and love and help protect others. I’ve always been lower class and on the outside of middle class suburban America, so I’m used to just going about my life, no matter what’s taboo, or illegal at the time. Hell, DnD was the devil when I was growing up and I still played it. I still smoked weed when it was illegal, and I’ll still love a man even if they say I can’t.

The Machine is better than a lot of that stuff lol

To me, dark humor is self deprecating humor and suicide/death jokes. That’s my best schtick .

But it has to mostly be about myself, people don’t find it funny when it’s about other people I’ve learned.

Is it real antisemitism or just not supporting Israel?

About when they start going on about “Zionists” Is where I draw the line and where it typically takes a turn.

As a Jewish person, I find it healthy to criticize the Israeli government. Most young Israelis do. Their government has been steamrolled by a wannabe dictator that is corrupt as hell and his team of racist, backwards conservative orthodox buddies.

They were just protesting in the streets weeks ago and now we’re expected to turn around and support the government? Nah. This doesn’t change anything.
