That’s not totally true, it’s just who the ownership class wants. They’re the only real people anyway, we’re all just labor.

Old people primary voting: See if you can stop me choosing the next old man from your house! Ha!

Lol I KNEW HE WAS ALREADY DEAD!! That picture was taken in the cooler fridge where they keep his body in storage in-between sessions of weekend at Bernies style puppeteering.

I can’t believe I have to vote for an actual corpse…

Everyone has “that movie” they’re kind of ashamed to admit they’ve never watched. The Big Lebowski is that movie for me. I know I really need to make time for it one of these centuries…

And I fucking hate it. It just incentivizes not allowing more housing for those that need it because MuH PrOpErTy VaLuE!!

Fucking greed everywhere…

I choose to believe he’s just looking for VC money and is not actually that stupid lol

No garden to tend, no garage for workshop. Big no for me.

The hobbies I love most require space but I’ll never be able to afford a house anyway so… Shrug

I get it, but I hate it. It’s not in my nature to lie like that. I can “lie” for the sake of humor or something, like using misdirection or “acting,” but when it’s an honest situation I can’t help but be honest.

Not that I have opportunities tossed my way that often lol

It’s still impossible to get a rope through the eye of a needle unless a rope and a thread can be used interchangeably. I’m not much of a language expert to say for sure lol

Thanks for the detailed reply!

The concept of “works” without knowing that term exactly was always how I explained myself: in that I may not have any faith, but if any of this is real I should be judged by my actions regardless of what I believe to be true.

Does that mean the gift is always given?

One thing I never understood was how any of it could be taken seriously if I could do literally anything and then go to confession and it’s all ok. Like imagine the absolute most atrocious thing one could do, then admit you did it to a priest, and you’re good? What if you just did that over and over again?

I’m not looking to “slam” Christianity, I’m just curious about that part.

That would actually make more sense as the concepts are similar enough, instead of thread its rope as opposed to thread vs a riding/pack animal lol

I’m going to guess fast food is a large portion of that here in the US. Idk how other countries serve fast food, but here every “meal” comes with a drink, and that drink not only has a plastic straw but also a plastic lid the straw goes into.

We’re “not allowed” to. The concept of comparing our politics to elsewhere around the world is chastised. “It’s not the same here!” “They have a longer history” “they share a common culture!” (far right for “skin color”)

Any excuse under the sun to keep the right as being viewed as closer to “center” and to misrepresent centrist policies as “far left” so we get no progress and all the arguments.

Minimum wage is not the same thing as a living wage. The minimum wage should be a living wage, but it isn’t.

See: NY. We just got our minimum wage increase and it’s 15-16/hr depending on where you are in NY… That’s what we were fighting for more than ten goddamn years ago. $15-$16/hr is an absolute joke on Long Island and NYC. I finally managed to claw my way up to 60k/year and as a single guy the thought of homeownership on long Island is as fantastical and far-fetched as a unicorn, forget about 15/hr… You can’t even rent most illegal apartments at that income alone.

The conversation needs to be about what constitutes a living wage and how to calculate it at a given time for each area not just blanket minimum wage increases to specific numbers that sound nice to chant like “fight for fifteen.”

Same comic, just change the little guy to “Socialism 2024” and the two big guys to “DNC & Biden”
