i think it’s just silliness

i realize this is /s, but i kinda wish people would not continue to conflate autism with nazism, even as a joke.

apple IIc

edit - that was the first computer in my home as a kid. i think the first computer i used was a commodore at school.

some agencies have tried to fight back.

there is no inherent meaning to life.

i choose to continue living each day because a) i am still enjoying myself enough to stick around, b) i’m a chicken and nothing has motivated me to voluntarily face quicker death just yet, c) i am committed to not fucking up my kids in that particular way if i can continue to avoid it, and d) i do work that matters and eases the suffering of others to create meaning for myself.

anyway

you haven’t the faintest clue what i believe, but i see you habitually encouraging americans to fight each other instead of fight for change.

this shit sounds fake, your whole southern and midwestern narrative. i’m not even convinced you lived here, and i am sorry to run across you again.

omg, the dementia is so so apparent

you’re either terribly uninformed or willfully ignorant. lack of transportation, accommodation, childcare, time off work, current identification all contribute. gerrymandering minimizes the effects of successfully voting as well.

also, you’re not helping anything.

why didn’t you stop your neighbors from evil when you lived here?

are each of your countrymen, wherever you are now, without fault?

you justify your own hatred and desire to harm, and so you will perpetuate the harm you experienced.

we can attack and punish each other as the few would like or work together. that requires us to acknowledge common humanity and rally together for our shared well-being.

there are bad and good people everywhere. i do not endorse painting millions as deserving suffering; there’s plenty of that already.

ordinary americans can find their way out of this mess together or tear each other apart. which do you imagine suits those in power?

you are no longer here. stop trying to sow further hatred and division. i don’t want my children, my friends, my colleagues, my clients to suffer because they live on the wrong side of an arbitrary line.

there are a lot of nice people in the south. there are a lot of brown people in the south. you think everyone needs to suffer brutality for what the worst do?

i don’t give them money but i’m on their email list. i just saw a request to donate that i dismissed and it went right to the article.

i have never known the intercept to paywall stuff?

probably direct support with your time and funding is a good idea, if you can. it certainly looks like federal grants are going away ☹️

honestly, that’s bullshit. i dunno if i’m just taking something too literally here, but no.

huh. years ago they had an app and stopped supporting it. i still see radio omg which i haven’t liked as much, but i haven’t been using it lately either (just listen in browser).

i guess i need to look into this again!
