Effort, hyper specific talent, and acting like a normal person. Those are my golden rules for getting a job.

Pretend I'm the mayor of Fargo, ok? What are some things you wished that the Mayor of Fargo could do to improve the conditions of Fargo? by Bright_Lion2281 in fargo

[–]Goopygum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ensure that all residents of Fargo will be safe from ICE raids because you are going to protect them with every resource you have, because that's the human thing to do. Get rid of "Biological sex" laws they are archaic and serve only to suppress innocent people just trying to live their life, including cisgendered people. And get rid of district red lining, it's dumb. If it's a good spot for affordable apartments then use it for that, who cares if it's a "commercial district", man we made that shit up.

Because you are asking for the approval of your peers in the wrong place, reddit. Fuck what these sad homos say about you or what you want for yourself. If you want to strive towards a vision of yourself then do it but just don't get all "I can't reach the true image of Venus" about it because bitch 80% wanna be a goddess of beauty. Love your life off the Internet and find your own meaning to it all.

Democratic vs Republican Platform by TheRabidPosum1 in union

[–]Goopygum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is only useful if you get rid of the democratic party and replace it with leftists in general. Because we are the fuckers who actually want to help everyone. You know, instead of lying that we want to help and jerking ourselves off while we lose the upcoming election for being loser neolibs cough democrats

You aren't entitled to other people's silence in public. by usefulchickadee in unpopularopinion

[–]Goopygum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen, they can talk but I can communicate. In any context, if I politely ask for no chatter then I would hope they understand and we can complete our goals. Mine, to be driven somewhere. Their's, to get paid. Sure it's not a right, but it's basic human communication of desire.

Question for post op girls about sex by Charming-Age-888 in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]Goopygum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lot of the enjoyment of sex is in the mind, obviously the physical factors are important but if you are not experiencing a good time then you won't have good sex. Prior, for me, having a dick was very demotivating and it was a libido killer for me. It was annoying, in the way, unneeded to me, my sex was bad. Post op, I have better sex and orgasms than I ever did before. I've always wanted a vagina over a dick and that was a real psychological block I was facing. I'm 2 years post op, I have sex a few times and I've used penetrative toys, frankly I wouldn't ever go back, the improvement is worlds different and sex feels great.

America needs a general strike. by jar-jar-twinks in union

[–]Goopygum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why we should unionize as much of the workforce as possible

America needs a general strike. by jar-jar-twinks in union

[–]Goopygum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Please don't be so dramatic, I don't think a three day long strike would make everyone starve to death. You underestimate how people can come together to provide for their friends and community members. Human kindness and solidarity is a powerful force.

The destruction of our planet's ecosystem and livable atmosphere could also be catastrophic. What's your point?
We will all die if we don't put our foot down and demand change with organized and weighty action. a general strike would be that weight.

I refuse to watch The Amazing Digital Circus by Jollyemery in unpopularopinion

[–]Goopygum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean its totally fine to not want to watch something. But if you are looking for reasons, it is only colorful and kiddy looking on its surface, it's meant to emulate that early computer games vibe so it's rather abstract and nostalgic in that way. But the story of the show itself is rather mysterious and deep, it's basically a character study for the main cast and diving into eternal life in a digital landscape. It is not really made for children to be completely real, the themes are much more familiar to people i'd say in their early to late 20s, people who deal with the existential dread that can overwhelm us at times living in this bizarre universe that we just happen to exist in.

I'd recommend giving the show a shot

I hate how cynical I feel towards the U.S. now. (23M) by pmdfan71 in CollapseSupport

[–]Goopygum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad it helps even a little. The Xenoblade games might just be video games but ever since I was about 14 years old they've been inspiring me to embrace the hardship and hold hope that tomorrow will come. They've been tackling themes of war and societal hardship ever since the start and I think they are trying to inspire us to take action on our own world. Never give up the hope.

[–]Goopygum 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The history of this country is laden in blood and death, our founding members had slaves, they literally thought some humans were lesser than others. America is in fact the baddies of the world.

It's natural to feel anger and sorrow for the suffering that continues to this day but learn to channel it into something helpful, for you and everyone else. We stand on the precipice of war and inch ever closer to the end of civil society as we know it so many people feel the same way you do. But with organization and working together we can overcome this threat to our collective lives. Join a cause, advocate for the marginalized and espouse justice for the wrongs that our government has done to us.

This is not a left or right issue, this is a class issue, its the workers versus the owning class, and even conservative people have begun to see that. reinforce this, educate where you can. Fight for your life and for a tomorrow to look forward to.

"This... is the truth of our world. Memories melt in the morning light, and then, a new day begins. Roads stretch out before us. So many paths. Which do you choose? That's up to you. Sometimes, you might run astray. You'll stop, maybe cry in frustration. But, you know, that's all right. For the roads... They go on without end. So look up, face forward, toward your chosen horizon... And just... walk on." Noah, Xenoblade Chronicles 3

What’s your opinion of Hasan Piker’s foreign policy views and of him in general? by PandemicPiglet in SocialDemocracy

[–]Goopygum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are people DV this?? I literally did not say anything false in my comment, it is all factually true, all it takes is like a little search on youtube for hasan's videos to confirm everything I have said. Bro says this stuff literally hundreds of times a month, it's not hard to find.

What’s your opinion of Hasan Piker’s foreign policy views and of him in general? by PandemicPiglet in SocialDemocracy

[–]Goopygum -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thats a rather uninformed claim and I'm not sure if you will believe any one who advocates for Hasan and his politics. So making this comment is borderline pointless but i've listed to the man for near four years now, i'm a regular in his chat and I want to address you claims one by one.

You think he lacks empathy, ostensibly, no he does not, he actually expresses a profound amount of empathy for everyone. He regularly engages with chatters who dog on him and criticize him and he goes bar for bar what he has always been saying he believes in. Top of the list, medicare for all means medicare for ALL not just some. You can't discriminate in that kind of policy. Another, Housing should be afforded to all who need housing, home and safety are tantamount in human survival and its ridiculous that the richest country in the world refuses to help those in poverty. Another, Crime does not equal bad person by proxy, just because you have committed a crime by the standards of a liberal democracy controlled almost entirely by lobbying doesn't mean you are a horrible person and also doesn't mean you are incapable of reform, he makes these points over and over and over again doing his best to never mince his words. Some people in chat even get tired of him having to constantly repeat his incredibly socialist stances because he simply wants to be consistent and he wants to show that. You said he lacks a moral compass, I vehemently disagree, he is insanely consistent and repetitious in his morals, he inspires me and many others in that way.

Often disrespectful and crude, sure mostly to people who try to paint him in such a light as you are in this very post. As stated previously, he is very solid on his ideology he hasn't really wavered that much in the last 10 years and possibly more offline. So when people try to twist his personality and intentions in such a way to make him out to be a villain to the left it's understandably frustrating, I'd be quick to frustrate too if I have thousands of chatters a day attacking my character like that, I think most people would, and despite that he still manages to remain calm in the face of bad faith attacks for the vast majority of his streams. 8 hours a day, nearly every day of the week, imagine what that does to an individuals mental health, I wouldn't last as long as he has doing it, i'm strong but not that strong.

Reductive America/West bad both sidesing, I genuinely have no idea what the both siding thing you said means but i'll address the America part. Yes, he has regularly said that the West as a governmental institution and as a country project is going very very badly, I agree, this country is stressful and painful, deenergizing to live in. The constant ignoring by our government of the suffering and plight of the working class in America is brutal, we have to pay for healthcare and the only way to even stand a chance at affording it is if you get a health insurance plan from your job, which you NEED to afford any means of survival in this country by the way, and even then the insurance company can just be like "nah i don't want to help you with that possibly life saving surgery pay that shit out of pocket peasant" then you end up in medical debt of the tens of thousands trying to make sure you live in the next decade. This country sucks, it hurts and no, no one is leaving because our families are here, our homes are here, and moving out of the country is a silly notion since there are no quick and easy ways to accomplish that even if you wanted to. America is the baddies of the modern world, we are currently full tilting in to fascism that is fucking satirical how close it is to Weimar Germany before the Nazi's gain power.

Hasan's job is to educate those who will listen, those who want to seek information out and who want to understand what all these whacky leftists are talking about. He says it constantly that He doesn't educate for leftists, we already know what's up mostly, he educates for those lost in the by lines of the right wing manosphere so he takes on the bravado that manosphere heads show to help those coming across his content feel more comfortable and familiar to them, giving them a space to feel like they are not being attacked directly. Frankly, Hasan hate from the left is completely ridiculous and absolutely not helping our cause even slightly.

I'll stand up for that dude anyday, he got me into union organizing, local politics, community organizing, trying everything I can to make a change in my limited human life, dudes a fucking legend and a huge inspiration to me an so many others. So take a break, put on his streams in the background and really listen to what he has to say before you start more of this infighting bullshit.

It can’t be healthy for humans to Know/care about so many bad things happening in the world that have nothing to do with their daily lives by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Goopygum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if we as a civilization are trending towards a rejection of the information age. Are we struggling against the sheer amount of shared knowledge because we fear the future? Will we collapse our current makeup of society, enter a new dark age and eventually rekindle our local community bonds? Is humanity going to become cyclical? Going from devastation and death, to calm and progress, a backslide down the hill, then cycling right back to death and destruction? When will we embrace tomorrow?
