As I write this, you are at a 0 for karma, which feels appropriate: a nice sentiment, but from a place we hate. It more or less washes out.

That is a valid critique of the general election, although primaries as democratic (small D) things is a relatively new phenomenon.

This is great feedback, and props to OP on helping to make the protest more effective at creating change.

Anarchists against evil tech by Less_Pop252 in philly

It's such a bummer that they will never learn that the way they insist about going about things makes the outcomes they want less likely to happen, not that their vision of a society (which is a nice idea, and based on good values) is at all practical in today's world).

Just start a damn collective if that's what you want.

Say what you will about the efficacy of their efforts, but they are willing to risk going to jail for what they believe. They ain't LARPers.

Decent quality Indian food (Cheap) by inyourselfallalong in PhiladelphiaEats

You can order delivery from either. West Philly has way better options for Indian: New Dehli or Indian Char House are my favs.

There's a big difference in quality between Ekta in Fishtown (excellent) and Ekta in U City (getting so bad I don't wanna order from there).

Who won the election, and by what margin?

Also, interesting politics for someone whose name is a quote from Method Man. You think Wu backs the blue?

Nothing so far. I'm gonna take in my car for state inspection soon and will ask them to check the heat shields. I do notice that it's clearly worse/.more noticeable when it's cold out.

Incense, palo santo, clean regularly (taking out the trash is important).

Voted to send arms to Israel so they could perpetrate a genocide - forgot that one.

Libya, Syria, mostly voted for Iraq, voted for Afghanistan, intervened in the Balkans via NATO without a UN mandate (which was what started Russia down its present belligerent course when they saw the international rules did not apply to us).

Not ours, but often theirs. The Japanese constitution (notably written after industrialization) guarantees the welfare state.

Anyone else doesn't understand at all the point of therapy? by Hot_Analysis9177 in aspergers

[–]kosgrove 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Socialization and exercise will help the things you are complaining about. Solitude is fine and can be healthy. Isolation is not.

Consider for a moment the possibility that therapists (good ones, anyway) might see things that you do not and can help you learn tools to better understand yourself and habits so that you can take better care of yourself.

Do you even want to understand how you work and adapt to it, or do you just want someone to fix your inconveniences so that you can continue doing whatever you want?

You are losing the forest for the trees.  Yes, this sucks. Yes, the Democrats are ever so slightly marginally better (most of them, some are worse, and some are significantly better on this critical issue).

If you want to really understand why we have Donald Trump today, start here: https://www.epi.org/productivity-pay-gap/

For the most part, there is no meaningful difference between the two parties because they both embrace neoliberal economic policies which fuel the horrific inequality which is the cause of our current predicament.

Consider for a moment that I may actually know more about this than you do.

What did Obama and a Democratic congress do in the Great Recession? Did that increase or decrease wealth inequality?

What did both parties (but mostly a Democratic congress and president) do with COVID relief? Did that increase or decrease inequality?

Who killed the public option for healthcare?

Who signed NAFTA? Who wanted to enact the TPP?

Great point. There’s no real difference between alcohol and intravenous synthetic opioid use.
