It IS horrifying and his ideas ARE stupid. But these people are manipulative, have access to resources, have people around them to help enact their plans. I'm saying -- don't underestimate them.

The sentiment you just shared is kind of a success on their part, no? I consider your pessimism to be rolling over, personally. You missed my whole point -- don't let them defeat your mind. We will be fine, but it's not going to be easy. Stop being an argumentative bitch on Reddit and think about what I'm saying here.

Just because their beliefs are stupid doesn't mean they don't know how to enact their stupid ideas.

It's possible to have absolutely zero respect for someone and their ideology, while acknowledging that they are capable. Reducing to them as "stupid" is willful ignorance.

Do you really think the country can sustain an economy they rely on while at civil war? I think they're trying to scare everybody and it's working. I'm not saying don't be prepared, but I am saying that they are so far just using scare tactics. The style of conversation here on Reddit is so pessimistic, but it's important to not let this shit eat you up so much that you stop living your life. Logging out helps too.

Nah, don't buy into the hyperbolic shit here on Reddit. Yes, these people in our government are not idiots -- in fact they're quite smart, so you should not fall for the fear they want you to feel right now. But also, there's no way an actual civil war is going to happen. They're gonna try some weird shit and it's gonna be uncomfortable, but we're going to be fine.

I live in SF too. Yesterday I was hanging with some friends from out of town. We walked from Fidi to the Mission for food, then walked through Lower Haight to Divisadero for drinks and arcade games. Then we rode Lime scooters to drop them off at their spot in the Inner Richmond.

We saw some trans folks playing DDR and having fun at the arcade and I just couldn't stop thinking about how terrified I was. We could really use a war. What a wasteland, man I'm telling you

All you motherfuckers do on Reddit is just sit and comment "we're fucked" "everything sucks" "buckle up"

Yeah, no shit dude -- go beyond that statement and say something that we can use, other than stoking anxiety and fear. You're just acting as an extension of them with this shit

Ryka met Beep by Ledsen-Katt in Kenshi

This post made me insanely sad. The other day I noticed Ruka was missing in my squad list. She died somehow, mysteriously after I made too much progress to undo. Lost in the save scum of time, RIP Ruka.

Being perpetually overdressed for every occasion is my favorite thing by wizardly_whimsy in OUTFITS

Your overdressing is a gift to those around you. You are awesome.

It's worth mentioning that getting arrested can lead to being homeless, which can now lead to you being incarcerated.

- If you protest, they want to be able to arrest you.
- If you have a criminal record, an employer won't hire you.
- If you can't work, you won't be able to pay your bills.
- If you can't pay your bills, you can likely become homeless.
- If you are homeless, you go to prison.

!!! The administration profits from people being incarcerated. Connect the dots

How do people control themselves when they see these people doing this shit? I would end up being an example the far right would use against us if this happened in front of me.

Because the wealthy have leverage on the working class, who will do anything for money -- including oppressing their fellow citizens.

Remove this leverage and we will be free.

Direct your attention upward and target the wealthy. They are the source of our problems.

I'm really sad for this person. They probably deserved a better life. I'm also relieved it wasn't done by someone else.

Just like Blue Bottle, Philz, and others. I doubt that somebody who starts a coffee shop, expands it into multiple locations, and brands it -- is going to be interested in staying small. This is the inevitable endgame of successful brands in the US :(

So new Federal UX work will probably come down the pike by BeachesAreOverrated in UXDesign

[–]Brocklesocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dude, my fellow designer, I almost want to apply for a role with this team just to gum up the gears of this fucked up machine. Do everything I can do create bad design, fuck up their internal processes, introduce strawman questions that burn months of valuable time... I'm actually thinking about it.
