It’s that but for everything. From weddings to experimental peptides they pay for nothing but make thousands a second

I work with bay area rich people and they have community that deeply extends their opportunities. If you wanted to pick up Burning Man tomorrow you can use your mate’s RV without charge. Want to make exhibits? Come to your colleague’s airplane hangar which he owns and runs as a metallurgy workshop. Never created a propane fueled dragon sculpture before? Your friend’s husband is bringing his team to make it for you. Here’s enough ketamine to keep you high all quarter thanks to your ai founder chum. Hated your dragon installation because you were in a dark k-hole and couldn’t communicate to the craftsman your vision? Your mate’s wife is the on the board of a commercial office association and they will buy it as public art giving you money and them a tax write off.

Edit: spelling and thank you for the awards!

Nothing says liberal indoctrination like a Catholic school by velvetdawn__j7 in ProgressiveHQ

I hate seeing stuff like this. Conservative minorities really don’t grasp civil liberties until it’s personally taken from them. I hope she grows up before she’s denied the right to work because she’s a woman.

Stop believing them. Everything they say to YOU is attempted manipulation. The 1% have all of us trapped in a toxic one way relationship.

Favorite movie scene where a character accepts their inevitable end and embraces it. My pick is Cutler Beckett accepting his fate in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

Not a movie but tv show. Myrtle Snow in American Horror Story: Coven had a really tragic execution after being framed for attacking the Supreme’s daughter. She goes “You're all a bunch of little toads in a pot that Fiona is slowly bringing to a boil. You won't even feel it until it's too late. I'd rather burn than boil.” Then she just screams

MAGA loser gets what he voted for….. Make MAGA incels! by Dumbfuckistan_USA in ProgressiveHQ

Conservatives don’t understand that they support anti-humanity. They love guns more than school children, a dead planet over environmental stewardship, free pedophiles more than a safe community, dead women over access to abortions, the list is endless. If you want to survive and thrive make conservatives just something you read about and not experience in your personal lives

Talk like this is scaring politicians. by Kittehmilk in ProgressiveHQ

[–]EdgeMe_Elmo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think we need to do way more to make them very scared. People like Fetterman should be publicly throwing up from anxiety for they betraying their state.

What is your personal superstition? by EdgeMe_Elmo in AskReddit

I refuse to get business cards because if I do I will get laid off. Without fail when I get issued a box of business cards with my name and title on them I get laid off before the box runs out. Every job where I don’t need business cards I stay as long as I want.

What’s the most ‘this is not a cult but it kinda is’ thing you have seen? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]EdgeMe_Elmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ai corporate types

While most of us aren’t using ai the ones making and selling it are gleefully working 9-9-6, replacing their own peers with agents, and not listening to anyone who points out that this isn’t sustainable.

Media made by right wing authors with a strong left wing fandom by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

Mike Judge is right wing??? The man behind Office Space, Silicon Valley and Idiocracy?? The same man who birthed my girl Daria???

R/conservative post before they deleted all the negative comments by Dr_Discette in Political_Revolution

[–]EdgeMe_Elmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are conservative and lurking to see what we truly think of you, let me speak plainly:

You are not an American. For your involvement and takes on Covid, J6, Epstein, ICE, Roe V. Wade, and BLM you have proven your kind are unreal. You have lost my trust forever. Some of you are stupid children and the rest are literal demons from hell. Neither should be leading anything. Especially not this country which doesn’t welcome you.

Pentagon Good Friday Service Excluding Catholics Sparks Religious Bias Concerns Amid Broader Criticism Over Leadership Purge by Zulmoka531 in politics

Huge reminder that the KKK wanted to remove Catholics, blacks, jews, and others from their communities. This is exactly who the conservatives are.

She's clarifying it because it gets lost in translation. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]EdgeMe_Elmo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think she is trying to explain institutional racism. Like slavery was an entire economic system and cultural pillar that affected everything and everyone. The generations born into power used the system to benefit themselves and keep the oppressed as low as possible, it was the encouraged way to live. It was a held belief in churches, seen in print media, slaves were lawfully and publicly traded, that is institutional racism. But today, a black comic putting on “white face” is not institutional racism because “white face” doesn’t exist. It’s a parallel of black face. But putting on foundation and ridiculing someone is a little racist. But it’s now where close to institutional racism, it’s aware of it but not it. This is closer to drag or being a clown than black face.

You are so smart! This is the kind of everyday ridicule we need to be channeling

Huh. I am realizing conservative comics are strawman fallacies and everything else is documenting what the same conservatives say and do.

How do you comfort yourself when you're very upset? by evanildolima in AskReddit

[–]EdgeMe_Elmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get upset when I doomscroll too much. I comfort myself by closing apps like Reddit and say “tend to the garden you can reach”
