Because then it’d be a romantic tragedy.

Shrimp are pretty rich though, if you eat too much you’ll get sick.

No, lemonade is amazing! Especially pink lemonade.

A uniform yes, but a pretty standard kitchen one, clean black pants and a company issued top with the restaurant logo.

My first job we hand pressed the lemons, it absolutely was d-pressing, and wet, and cold. It was lonely and boring, working in the back away from everyone else. Even with the gloves the acid got all over you, on your hands and made your skin feel raw and pained.

Did you ever see the jump scare manga?

idk if this one does it but I’m sure this was the one.

A lot of shitty things are done under the guise of, “It makes me feel uncomfortable”

Trans people especially, anything to do with them really, Oh I make you uncomfortable, guess we will just magically stop existing.

And for the uncomfortable people out there, most times the “stop existing” thing, comes in the form of unaliving because we aren’t cis like everyone else… that’s kinda the whole thing

our glorious pig’s glorious lipstick of the highest caliber*

Oh I forgot I was @Kyatto here >.>

That was silly of me, Thanks Zink <3

kyattophilic?

Well not only do you deserve to exist, but I am glad you exist.

thank you ^-

Of course, I do enjoy the fantasy, especially on the precipice of an election that decides my right of existence.

The walls were to keep us in, not the other way around, after all.

That would be a great thing but I also had another idea, why can’t a test be devised and codified into law, to tie minimum wage to. I know the main reasons why, obstructionist capitalists, but a test to find a living wage, average rent costs tied with other bill expenses and grocery costs. The companies raising costs feel free but the minimum wage will rise. Could something like this work? Tie wages and service/goods costs together to incentivize either livable/thrivable wages or lower costs. either way we need one of those two things, more buying power, or… more buying power.

Something to stop the decages long stagnation of worker compensation.

In case you are unaware… Flashpoint Infinity is an archival project for old internet games that makes sure they are all backed up and playable on modern systems. Give it a spin if you want to quickly relive some old memories.

“boohoo life’s unfair” - my conservative father

get over it rich boi, life’s what we make it and I say we make life better for the working class for once in my miserable life.

the secret was here the whole time, use cancer to cure the cancer! Finally, I can be proud of my astrology sign!

With my partner, friends, and I being “degenerates” and likely the first group the fascists genocide… nope, see ya, I’m out. We already are experiencing the low-tide effects of genocide and while people aren’t in droves killing us yet, there are state allowed murders seemingly popping up and medical genocides creeping into the states. It’s only a matter of time and there is effectively nothing I can do, so for the lives of my family, friends, and I, we will be doing whatever it takes to get out before it really starts.

Thank you <3

It’s infuriating and scary they way it feels most people miss that, I just want to live my life, maybe even love it. But with the billionaires on one hand and the bigots on the other it’s really hard on so many levels. There’s an element of fear and uncertainty in my home and I am sure in many others. The fear of self sustainability, looming threats of homelessness and poverty if there is anything to disrupt our productivity for the owning class along with making decisions based on when, not if, unjust laws are passed that threaten our very existence. Saving and moving house, trying to get to a point where we eventually live in a northern haven isn’t a retirement prospect, a grasp for opportunity, or a change of scenery, it’s a requirement to make sure we can continue the being alive part.

Sometimes it is hard when the future seems so bleak and I spend so much of my time barely keeping my head above water, having a seemingly lofty goal as a near necessity. This society is a fucking joke, but at least there are people, like you, in our corner. Hopefully in time things can unshittify but things are getting bad, fast, at the moment.

At the same time, I can’t help but feel so incredibly lucky despite everything, There are people facing harsher systemic difficulties, less access to opportunity, and harsher local conditions. Despite everything I’m alive, I’m here now, and it makes me angry, and sad, that people like Nex are forced to end the fight so early due to heartless politicians and their base of vultures.

Sorry to trauma dump, it’s been brutal lately.

2nd life into mortgage year one foreclosed because you couldn’t pay :'(

I mean if you wanted anything like what you had 10 years ago you’d have to go back 10 years. I don’t think it’s possible to ever have anything like what it was back again any time soon.

You’d have to go back 10 years for that, modern discourse is poisoned, and even then things weren’t that rosy back then for all.
