To go from growing up not realizing mortgages existed (doesn’t everyone just pay cash for a house?) to freezing in a van is a journey I’d not wish on anyone else.

Realistically, Reddit has been useless for porn for quite some time.
Successful - adj. - Having a steady income stream that allows for housing, food and vacations without worrying about the next round of layoffs.
Remember when porn subs were people just having fun and posting instead of this endless stream of monetization efforts? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I arrived here in June 2023 as part of the interest in alternatives after the API changes were announced. We saw a spike in applications, so I expect that could happen again, though we’re not as major of an instance as we were back then. Lemmy.world will likely take the brunt of the influx, and as we’re not federated with them, the impact should be minimal.
I’m still on Reddit for niche communities, but I use it very differently from 20 months ago. I’ve grown to enjoy a collective of self-selecting people who want something better than what Reddit offers, which is less and less by the month.
Were he physically fit, he could win a limbo contest. But as it stands, he’ll just hire people with golden shovels and then not pay them (nor for the shovels themselves).
God, that’s fucking heartbreaking. But don’t worry, that’s coming to the states as well (not that it hasn’t already been here, just at scale this time).
I’ve found this to be the case over the years. If I’m in active alcoholism, that’s who I find, usw. “Broken” people seek out “broken” people, because what the normies are doing makes no sense at all.
If you’re in for a tome, there’s always The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.
This line stands out:
You might argue that one cannot simply write these stories again and again, to which I say “skill issue.”
It absolutely is a First Amendment violation, but that matters not a whit to the junta.
Pretty much the textbook definition of “no matter how bad you think it is, it’s worse.”
God, I fucking hate this state.
That’s a lot of copy to arrive at “Yes.” Wildly inappropriate time for a question hed.
It’s somewhere in the mid-30s percentagewise in terms of people who actually want this. Millions just didn’t vote, and I’ll reluctantly admit to being one of them. But my vote doesn’t count at any level.
City passes a reasonable law, Legislature gets called into special session to make said law illegal. Legislature is horrifically gerrymandered, which is particularly rich given they work here.
We insanely don’t have term limits, so the same three old white dudes, one of whom – the fucking attorney general, who has been under federal indictment since I moved to Texas 10 years ago – are running the state as when I arrived. Texas does not hold elections so much as performative theatre.
We needn’t go into the value of my vote at the federal level. You can’t just vote harder.
In which case posting here about it makes no sense.
We’re going straight to eugenics in under a month? Jesus fuck.
ETA: Also, you chucklefucks, I already got fixed years ago because of the horrific state of affairs in the world. I find it morally reprehensible to bring children into this world given what we know about climate change alone. Political shifts are just icing.
But the rest is still perfectly fine.
It’s not as though this wasn’t advertised. The cruelty is the whole point.
I don’t mean to sound defeatist, but almost everyone is one step from here. I fucking saw it coming and planned. Many won’t.
Should at least make my van worth more once I find the right sugar momma. I mean, if this is reality, hedonism is indicated.
