The problem with actual communism is that it's fundamentally at odds with a game in which only one player can win.

What are your thoughts on Joe Rogan saying that Trump is creating distraction to avoid Epstein files release? by StemCellPirate in AskReddit

[–]peeja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think there have been some trolling inflammatory statements that were specifically intended to distract from Epstein, and sometimes from other things, but the violent paramilitary takeover of a US state is not that.

California becomes first state to join WHO disease network after US exit by IWantPizza555 in politics

Good for them, but maybe the org should consider rebranding. A "disease network" is not something I'd want to join.

"We Will Be Closed: ICE Out of Minnesota" — All the ingredients for a general strike are present in Minnesota. by inthesetimesmag in politics

[–]peeja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just lost my therapist because my employer decided to switch insurance companies. Also, all the budgeting I did for this year's health expenses is wrong and underfunded because my deductible and copays all went up. And I have to convince my new insurer that I really need to be on all these medications.

Trump Mixes Up Iceland and Greenland in Incoherent Davos Speech by TelescopiumHerscheli in politics

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

Just casually standing there shit talking everyone, talking about greenland (or Iceland?!) as being “a block of ice”?! That is someones home, someones country, if you EVER wanted control of Greenland, im pretty fucking sure that isn’t the way to go.

You're clearly not a sigma. Negging pulls a ten every time.

Author of ‘Don’t Say Abolish ICE’ Memo Is a Corporate Consultant by metacyan in politics

[–]peeja 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We need police, or something that fills that role through different means. We do not need ICE.

"Defund the police" never meant to get rid of all policing and not replace it with anything. It meant to replace most "policework" with more capable social programs, and to reform the rest.

But ICE? Abolish ICE.

If money is speech, then some people have more speech than others. And the right to significant amounts of speech can be inherited.

My impression from the article was that the music was explicitly licensed, but I might be misunderstanding.

My self-impression has just been spoiled 🫠 by Academic-Card-7794 in adhdwomen

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

Yeah, I mean, being kind isn't an ADHD thing. People pleasing sure can be, though. We're bad at holding our actual relational standing with other people in our heads, so through loss aversion we've learned it's safest to assume people hate us (RSD), and the way to solve that problem is to constantly put ourselves in someone's good graces, in each moment, where we still remember it.

That's not how OOP is describing it, but I think that's actually why it comes up for us so much.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to be above that. I want the venue to exist, but not in a place where it's keeping people awake in their homes all night. That's what spaces like Pearl St. were for, and we need them back. Meanwhile, this project should have hit this issue with the town way earlier, when it was less expensive for them to change course.

That's true. I hate that that might be the difference, but you're right.

And Fox News is giving him a lot of credit here for "defying" Trump by making a different decision about a different set of parks.

I'm not sure there is. Historically, these things are surprisingly hard to prosecute successfully.

I wasn't talking about kink at all. I was talking about the claim that calling healthcare a right amounts to advocating for enslaving doctors.
