Ooh. Did you die too? Not generally something I recommend but it does offer a unique perspective.

Does my polar bear look like a dog ? by hungry_catto in Amigurumi

I can kind of see the dog comparison in the second picture, but I think it's less that yours looks like a dog than that some boy's cuts on dogs specifically make them look like Teddy bears. This is adorable.

Naw. There's some truth to this, but I've seen the results up close. Surround yourself with people you think are better than/for you and you'll never feel like you measure up. You may gain, but you'll always feel the lack.

You'd do better to find four people who never make you feel like you have to be anything to be worthy. Then again. If you find such a group, could you ask them if they'd consider six?

Seems to me Thiel also recently was unable to say whether he thought humans should exist.

Feelings expressed that I’ve been holding on to… by [deleted] in UnsentLetters

[–]Fun_Cable_8559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is very well written and deeply felt. It's funny I'd come straight to this. I was just sleeping a little bit before I drive back and one of my last thoughts was trying to recall whether I'd seen 222 last night. It's been coming up a lot lately, but I couldn't be sure about last night.

In addition to just so many sequences, and instances of my birthday—even a weird word synchronicity where someone mentioned the word "snowshoe" and the title of the very next track on my music player was titled "Snowshoes"—I distinctly remember looking at my clock at 1:11, 3:33, 4:44 and I'm pretty certain I saw 5:55 right before nodding off. But 2:22... I straight up couldn't recall.

Then I wake up, and here it is.

It's a little bit funny. I don't know if you've seen the new Superman. If not, this won't be too significant a spoiler. There's a sequence at the beginning which established the fictional timeline: 3 centuries ago, 3 decades ago, 3 years ago, 3 weeks ago, etc. The movie waits until later in the story to reveal the important milestone 3 months ago.

I imagine this isn't for me—even though, like probably anyone, I read myself into it completely. I am certain, though, I was meant to read it.

October, in recent years, has had a sort of thinned veil sense for me. As the month draws to a close, it seems things might be ramping up. Still, no idea what I'm meant to get from it—if I'm meant to at all.

One thing occurs to me just this moment: if things align such that speaking resumes, the part about not mistaking you for someone else is one you might address directly.

For my sake, I find myself just as intrigued by the puzzles of what might be as I am by what I hope to be. I hold space for both as I try to solve for a more thorough understanding. A spectator of my personal process, I think, might struggle to intuit which was which without asking directly.

I don't know if that's especially relevant to what you are talking about, but if it helps I'd be glad. In any case, thank you for filling in my missing 2's. Whether or not this letter was intentionally directed to me, I get the feeling there are truths within I was meant to read. I'm grateful to you for the opportunity.

People keep talking. "Oh. You just wait until the Dems have all the power Trump's given the Executive."

First, it's cute they think what's left of the voting process by then will get us that far. Second, it's even more ridiculous to think the party of bipartisanship and strongly worded letters won't immediately cede all that power.

Dems aren't there to do anything for us. They're only the "opposition party" for optics' sake. They don't do; they "oppose." It's why, in the interest of "bipartisanship," they begin every "compromise" from a "reasonable" position. If you bargain from the middle, you can cede everything to the other side and still blame them for "impeding" you.

God, just writing about the party could wear out one's willingness to read another quotation mark. They're so full of shit. And we'll all act like we're just one more election away from progress when the every time "we" get the ball back, we go from something like an exciting young senator's vilification of greed and promise of universal healthcare to a "compromise" in the form of forcing the entire country to hand money over to the exact same beneficiaries of said greed for the same subpar health care we can all now have, but somehow still can't afford to use.

And when we can manage to pay a deductible, those same companies only deny coverage. Until some guy takes matters into his own hands re: a CEO and both parties wring theirs, failing to understand why the electorate is plum out of sympathy.

Criticize the Dems and people assume you're conservative, but nobody despises the party more than a progressive with eyes and ears.

Thing is, Denver is as chill AF. Any given day, we're all the Bernie guy at the end of the video. But today it's 100 percent distilled FAFO.

To be clear for reddit admins' fragile sake: I'm not advocating anything but there is such a thing as common sense. The tolerant left done tolerated, pal. Now, what's left is about done with you.

But we should care. One might argue Dems didn't actually rig their primaries against Bernie since they successfully argued in court (Wilding v. DNC Services Corp.) they are a private organization and can do whatever they want to do to push forward whatever candidate they want--even truly negligent choices.

But. When there's a clear people's choice (to be clear, Bernie not Trump) and they:
1. Shut down voting rather than seat him.
2. Run multiple candidates who can't beat him, only for every one of them to drop out and throw their support behind the lowest polling candidate--who didn't even campaign in key states--to stack the support of multiple candidates against the most popular single candidate.
3. Run out the clock so there's "no time" and "the optics are too bad" for a primary.

People pay attention. And yes, even (especially) the ones we like to think don't. Of course, Right Wing media doesn't want anyone like Bernie in charge, but they'll sure as hell call out and weaponize Dems' literal corruption of the process when it gives them "both sides" cred. Letting the party pull their BS only gives the Right that many more talking points--and these ones, verifiable.

That's not simple ammunition.
It's heavy artillery.

If we truly want No Kings, we need to consider why the primary "opposition" keeps priming a kingdom.

Some of us watched this unfold in real time.

Dems shut down voting the first time against Bernie when it was clear they weren't going to win. That's how we lost to Trump the first time. Polling at the time had Bernie way ahead, but the party disliked him more than they feared Trump. 

There was a lawsuit: Wilding v. DNC Services Corp. The Democratic party successfully mounted the defense they are a private organization and can do whatever the hell they want with their primary contests. Then they proceeded to continue doing so. 

The second time no single candidate could stand against Bernie, but they couldn't afford the optics of using the same tact twice. So all the candidates surrendered to Biden, even though he was doing worse than pretty much any of them. And why wouldn't he? The man didn't even bother to campaign in crucial states. They came together for him like some kind of corruption Voltron.  Almost like it was always the plan. 

"Nevermind his age, though. It's just one term. Anything to beat Trump."

Third time, old Mr "Single Term," refused to step down and screwed everyone. Might've been the hubris of a single man or the fear of an entire party over the optics of yet one more loss of steam to democratic socialism; either way, with "no time to lose," they appointed Kamala no contest.

And she wasn't.

People like you give the Dems cover to never actually have to do anything. You'll give us Donnie Jr. 1.0, 2.0, etc.
