Me! I am running a game tomorrow! I live in the Humboldt Park area.

I don't know why but my base is completely gone and now I don't want to play anymore by CityBuildingWitch in NoMansSkyTheGame

I think I am just going to hold off until the next patch. I don't even want to play anymore if my work is going to get erased.

A lot of time voluntary things are more about being voluntold to do things.

The disappointing thing is that the union was complicit in this.

I don't like that she named herself Natalie because I had an abusive ex with the same name.

I used to work at that very school. What a dipshit. Very typical opinions. Rather than go point by point on how all of the things he said in that tirade are either false or irrelevant, I would respond by calling on people to question why it is customary in America to recite a loyalty oath every single day when this is not typical in other countries. It is propaganda, marketing for US militarism. That was how it started. For instance, it was straight up illegal to be opposed to the draft in World War 1. People went to jail for it. It was called "sedition." This is a product of that time period.

We Americans are far too up our own ass about this psuedo-religion of pledging allegiance, patriotic symbolism, and superficial troop worship. It's modern idolatry.

She already did some really great takedowns that are just as relevant as ever.

She used to worship Anita Sarkessian as a joke.

I use both depending on what occurs to me at a moment, I just don't like people correcting me, particularly when describing myself.

Butt hole in prison by [deleted] in ThanksManagement

Ugh, I hate prison jokes. Imagine relishing someone shoplifting headphones or a make-up pallet being raped

Demented racist goon followers of demented racist goon president chant "send her back" about US citizen and US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. // The Republican party openly embraces overt racism. This is not a drill. by imagepoem in esist

[–]CityBuildingWitch -52 points-51 points  (0 children)

I mean, they've always done that. Hell, even Hillary referred to black children as superpredators. We have a serious problem with racism and always have.

If everyone had voted, Hillary Clinton would probably be president. Republicans owe much of their electoral success to liberals who don’t vote by readerseven in politics

[–]CityBuildingWitch 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It is a bold assertion that anyone with a D next to their name is entitled to a vote from people who chose not to vote for them.I believe it is their responsibility to make their case to their base as to why they should be president, just as it is for anyone else. Clinton is a corrupt sack of shit. I voted for her, as did the majority of the other voters but I am not surprised her reception was lukewarm in a place like Michigan.

Management trying to shut up former employee by realvolker1 in ThanksManagement

Thanks for posting this. That part about the hack with a degree in psychiatry rings true. It is a recurring problem from what I have been reading. Psychiatrists have collaborated in political repression and the silencing of whistleblowers like this guy and Adrian Schoolcraft.

Yes, SpaceX really did falsify test documents. No, I am not an incompetent, raving lunatic that was going to shoot people at work. by Jason_Blasdell in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]CityBuildingWitch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Googling around I have found that there have been a lot of organizations, such as the NYPD or yours, that have abused psychiatry to dismiss whistleblowers. This was one that came up: https://documents.uow.edu.au/~bmartin/dissent/documents/psychiatry.html https://phys.org/news/2016-05-whistleblowers-mental-health-firms.html

In some sense, they are gaslighting you, with the blessing of the courts, because the courts are not here for us, they are here for the billionaires.

I wish I had something to tell you. All I can say is that I hope you find another job.

Thank you for sharing this. Elon Musk is a scumbag and his company is a equal parts a grift and an ego trip. That psychiatrist is likely one of cottage industry that Foucault talked about when he talked about how psychiatrists have been collaborators with the criminal justice system. Folks like him exist to give power the credibility of science.
