I’ve been thinking about how much of certain movements are about “self-sufficiency”, which always makes me wonder how you can provide for everything you need. I don’t think you can. I think there are ways to be more independent and stable, but it always comes down to “well what about everyone else?”. Should we be talking about “community sufficiency” instead? Where everyone together joins to make sure everyone has what they need? Not only can you divide labor, but also you can specialize and have different skills.

Most Correct Take on this subject.

AIUI the most common reason for this is that most shelters don't let you do drugs while at the shelter. If someone prefers doing drugs to sleeping in a bed is that the shelter's fault?

also, yeah, it is the shelter's fault if someone chooses sleeping outside over dealing with any/all of the above while also going through drug withdrawals. The average adult doesn't want to go a day without coffee, and yet can't understand why the immensely painful/dangerous ordeal of quitting hard drugs cold turkey is a turnoff from a bed in a shelter. Almost anyone would pick their tent on the sidewalk to avoid that experience. Put a damn safe injection site in your shelter.

I was waiting for that last addition... like. OK, if that IS why they choose not to sleep at a shelter, they aren't "preferring doing drugs to sleeping in a bed." What a fucked up, compassionless take.

I don't care, call me when he's dead.

I don't care how angry his cult gets when it happens, they already threaten every second of every day with violence. Fuck caring about him and his ragingly insecure entourage of neonazis. I'll be happy when he dies. I hope it's soon, and I don't care how it happens.

while we're all online and memeing the failed assassination of a usamerican fascist please take a second to [donate to save a family in Gaza] and do your [daily click for Palestine]

Average American liberal 2 seconds after a politically inconvenient event happens: "Idk I think it's a false flag."

Yall are running towards conspiracy thought with a full erection the moment it might bring you a shred of comfort. Is this really the standard you hold for yourself?

you gotta be as gay as possible on the computer otherwise alan turing died for nothing

[ID: a comment by chaos-lioness that says, “Genuinely though I wonder how he'd feel knowing the branch of technological development he set in motion has led to a way for people to be out and find community when they can't safely in real life. I hope it would make him happy.” End ID.]

My late father was the one who taught me to be cynical about advertising, for all that putting up ads was literally his whole job. He taught me from a very young age that advertising is expensive, and they tack that cost onto the price. That if something is heavily advertised, you can count on the fact that there's an identical product out there, usually even manufactured in the same factory, that's cheaper because they don't spend all that money on advertising.

"this is gonna boost his numbers more than you think" yknow maybe im just not the target audience but who here is fucking deluding themselves that genocide joe has had even half a chance at this for well over a year now? like??? be vigilant for what bro? be vigilant for a storm of far right accelerationism and further cementing of authoritarianism across both sides of the party line? damn. damn who could have possibly fucking predicted this

what exactly am i supposed to be vigilant for? for trump to accelerate project 2025? for democrats to be fucking performatively useless as ever? for everyone to have to say that this is the most important election ever and if we dont win its a one way ticket to fascism and so clearly we have no choice but to vote for the genocidal zionist maniac? be so fucking real

since it seemingly needs to be said, no this was not a false flag, you don't hire someone to shoot directly at your head with live ammunition

How do we know it was live ammo though? Where did the bullet go? There's a lot of very suspicious behavior on Trump's part that makes a lot more sense if this was staged somehow.

This is conspiracy thought

I don't necessarily think that it is? The man kept looking in that direction, then after he got shot he basically fist pumped. I don't think it's beyond the scope of possibility that he'd fake an assassination attempt to make himself look stronger or his opponents unhinged. We obviously don't have all the facts but something about this feels really off

He has been winning the election for months now. This would be completely unnecessary to stage.

seems sus to me. if he was really bloodied by a gunshot to the head then why isnt he dead or in the icu?

because real life is not call of duty

NEVERMIND!!!

Huh? What do you mean this isn't the biggest news event of the day
