Socialism is not fundamentally altruistic.

Yeah, if I’m completely honest, yes I DO want everyone to be housed and fed without the stress of maybe you’ll be dead if you don’t sell your body hard enough, but the biggest reason I want socialism is because I myself want to be able to slow down and not have to work so hard to stay floating.

That might make me a bad person, but I justify it to myself because everyone else will benefit far more from that than I will, and long after I’m dead things will (hopefully) be even better.

“THE FUTURE THE LEFT WANTS UNDER UNDER SOCIALISM/COMMUNISM!”

This hand-crafted, gold necklace with diamond, ruby sapphire, and emeralds adorning the intricately carved centerpiece?

5 gold pieces.

That moldy slice of bread you picked up accidentally from a barrel in the bottom of a 1500 year old shipwreck?

… I’ll give you 3 gold.

Because their only experience with anything involving trans people is in porn, and there is a huge amount of trans-fem content when compared to trans-masc.

So they literally don’t think about FtM trans people at all.

It’s also why many of them view trans people simply existing as inherently sexual.

And the United States government, whose nuclear launch systems for decades had a default “0000000” password on systems so old they figured nobody would know how to hack them in person anymore, and they’re incompatible with the internet.

It’s disturbing to me that my high school hobby of fixing and operating old computers meant I could have launched nukes.

North Korea really hates the ocean.

What did the ocean ever do to north Korea?

The misfits in question: you wanna take on “The Man” but your mom says you have to be back inside by 5:30 so you can go get a pair of JNCO jeans at the mall.

Maybe they mean a strap-on and OP is, in fact, a woman?

Fake: the penis is plastic Gay: OP is a lesbian woman

Yes, it does.

So why doesn’t the other person ever bother picking theirs up first for a change?

Coworker of mine keeps saying every Bob Ross painting was a place “they” have found and found bodies buried.

Why do that and risk actually losing, when you can go after the small guy and send a message to the plebs?

I don’t do it on purpose, but sometimes the speed limit changes and I don’t notice until someone passes me and I look at the GPS and see I’m going too slow.

I wait for the passing cars to get ahead of me before speeding up though.

“well we can’t have this hardcore murderer doing too much violence and murder, or we might lose the young families, so let’s tone down the murderviolence in this murderviolence-fraught franchise.” -Some executive who doesn’t realize they never had those families in the first place but now they’ve lost a lot of the fans

Only if you’re racist, I guess.

Well, the lightweight is gonna be a problem, but I typically take breaks of at least a month when I stock up on more stuff.

Not a ginger, just weirdly tolerant to thc without having built one up.

Oh, this is after a break, of about a month and a half.

was legitimately stoned for the rest of the day. Like, could barely control myself.

Okay, seriously. Does this actually happen?

I hit a 84% thc vape from Michigan today, and after about 5 minutes felt nothing. 3 8 second drags until the vape auto-shutoff each time, and I feel it for about 30-45 minutes.

If I want to be stoned literally all day, I have to be hitting the vape at least every 30-90 minutes depending on how hard I hit it.

I usually don’t even feel edibles until I’ve had 30-50mg.

I’m genuinely curious how much it takes for other people to get high, and how they experience it. I feel like I’m missing out.

“That’s disgusting! Which ones?!”

That solar panel looks useful.

Since I have never gone out in nondescript black clothing at night to destroy these things, I can’t say from firsthand knowledge…

But yes, yes they are. They make great trickle chargers for large batteries that only get used intermittently. Or string several together and enjoy an ebike battery charger. I have a similarly sized and shaped panel I found somewhere that I use to charge my 18650 bank.
