You are correct, the people are essentially powerless, but “essentially” is doing quite a bit of heavy lifting there. You seem to be one of the “useful idiots”, so please shut your fucking mouth and go stick your head in the bush somewhere far away so you don’t get in the way of the rest of us.

There’s your problem, by denying the need you are helping the opressors.

sounds like a skill issue to me, but then again i doubt any of those hobbyist communities spread across the fediverse are nearly as active as on reddit.

Also I don’t think inviting people (especially the young, most propaganda is probably taught in schools) in on the class war is a bad thing. Capitalists are the enemy of the people.

There’s a typo under Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse:

This allows you to have more of a “journey” to Drcaula’s castle

I love the smell of an amount of microplastics in my brainmatter that is equal to a plastic teaspoon in the morning. Smells like burnt toast.

I haven’t personally used Ableton ever but am a hobbying musician, and pro-audio is possible on Linux as well as running non-native applications via Wine. I found this just searching, there’s apparently a Discord group also dedicated to this project.

Usually doing a web search like “xyz windows program+linux” will produce results, and putting in your distro name will produce better. Anyway, good luck on your journey!

yeah np, it’s not like i haven’t been called a f-slur from bydriving cars regularly

Louder for the people in the back.

No problem at all, I actually like the feeling I get from sharing what has helped me in the past. And especially so if I get validation that my way of communicating those points comes across clearly and resonates with those who hear it. So thank you. And indeed, while DBT is absolutely not the most perfect form of therapy for everyone ever and has many valid criticisms (especially when its implementation on Borderline Personality Disorder is combined with the fact that unreasonably many autistic people – of which an even more unreasonable percentage are women – are being misdiagnosed as BPD, and that having such a diagnosis is and will be a stigma causing further hindrance in actually getting across your own opinion of being autistic to those in their ivory towers), it has many ideas and ways of implementing those ideas (what to do when and how to deal with feeling down or negative emotions?) that should be taught to children in early childhood (preferably by a primary caregiver) globally. Or at least that is where all my problems in my personal life have arisen: I have strong emotions, but no-one ever told me what to do when they come, so I did what everyone in my country had done since at least the last war: engage in harmful behavior with alcohol and other substances.

Ah, you were embraced by the touch of the 'tism since before birth also? Same here, same here. And yes, I hear you. If I could I would make the universe as I see fit; just and good, and so nothing would ever have to change again. But that’s not possible now, is it? So all we can do is accept this state of existence, and embrace the world and all living things in it (except the intolerant) with all its inherent contradictions and illogicality. But I get you with the “sticky thoughts”, and I find it a valid concern when speaking of like work and income stuff on a broader sociological scope. There’s a fine line, though, between having a valid concern for the future of yourself and your family and other close people, and needlessly ruminating on things beyond your comprehension.

tutel! :D

“Mom would be sad” was basically the only thought that carried me through my most suicidal years. So I guess it’d be “kid would be sad” for you. In any case fake it 'til you make it if all else fails, that was what they taught us in dialectical behavior therapy by the way of willingness & half-smile (or at least that is how I internalized it). Another thought that has been keeping me going since those suicidal years is “this too shall pass” with or without the additional “away” in the end, by which I have come to understand the transient nature of everything; the only constant is change, and it is inevitable. This combined with some personal growth in understanding of global geopolitical and economical concepts (straight up communism bro) has lead me to believe that better times are indeed coming, and although it may not be us alive right now who will be here to see those better days, we should not lose hope for the future. Someone once said that “wise men plant trees under whose shade they will never rest” or something, so I’d maybe encourage you to pick up again your hobbies that you listed: art, walks, talking, plant growing and community work and try to focus on what’s at hand, not what has been or could be or is somewhere else. You cannot affect any of those, so why worry about them?

I understand that the current global political and economical unrest is scary, but if it’s not currently threatening your life (or say your kid’s life) or stopping you from enjoying the things you are doing currently then it’s not really worth worrying about those, is it? I myself found help through DBT, it’s a long-form therapy used among others for emotional dysregulation disorders – like borderline personality disorder (that’s me!) – but it has many concept I believe should be in standard school curriculum globally, and the resources are available online as well as in print.

In any case, I hope the best for you. Raising children in the current global situation is no doubt incredibly anxiety inducing, and though it is good to stay strong for your children, it isn’t advisable to suffer because of your children so to say. It is good that you evidently know how to ask for help, and probably are capable to receive it.

Oh my, color me surprised /s But maybe the implementation of this will be the final straw for me, and I’ll finally be able to commit to degoogling myself and delete my account and every app for good.

Oh, also the irony of a Youtube CEO talking about “a revolution” is not lost on anyone I hope. Eat the rich.

sure buddy, unfortunately they done that already. I especially love the 3 mbps cap on downloads with free accounts.

it was a reference to that one real old meme, but I see you aren’t interested in such fantastical subjects. But yes, of course, we should never claim that this crazed lone wolf right wing gun nut was the same as all the others inhabiting the US police force, because they are more organized than that. Anyway, class traitors and bastards, were thebadgelegit or not.

so he was in all ways - except physical legal - a cop?

“impersonating a police officer” uhhuh sure buddy
