  • I despise the argument that they always use, saying “It’ll bring in tax revenue”

    No it fucking won’t. The people who own these things DON’T PAY TAXES. Going out of their way to AVOID paying taxes is their entire deal!

    If there is one bright side to all of this recent “affordability” crisis, is that I think more and more people are getting affected enough now that they’re FINALLY starting to focus their gaze on the billionaires and the politicians who are bought by them. (Maybe that’s optimism).

    Don’t get me wrong, most of them still obediently ALSO blame immigrants, trans folk, homeless people, etc… whoever the billionaires and politicians TELL them to blame, but they’re finally beginning to look in the upper direction too.

















  • To each their own I supposed. But I firmly believe you retain more knowledge, the more senses that you use when learning.

    If I’m reading the material (sight), highlighting the notes (touch), and listenting to the prof (sound), I’m triggering more synapses and as a result hold more of the information in.

    Letting an A.I. summarize it for you, or just recording in on a laptop voice-to-text while zoning out for the hour of that class, is completely useless because you don’t actually learn anything except how to ask the computer for the answer.


  • Your country is being run by a man who behaves like I behaved in fourth grade when I didn’t want to admit I hadn’t done my homework and just compounded lie upon lie upon lie hoping to outlast the teachers somehow.

    For the record, I was a total shit-head in fourth grade. I was ducking and weaving, adding more lies to the narrative (even going as far as blaming my sister for stealing it, and STILL not backing down when they brought her in to call my bluff). Somehow, my idiot brain just thought that if I kept spinning out more and more convoluted webs of bullshit, it would eventually hit the magical “they believe me” mark.

    Here’s the thing though…I was in FOURTH GRADE and I GREW OUT OF IT! What the fuck is Trump’s excuse?
