"Optics" is the word I hate the most in the English language. It shows that these libs think this is all a fuckin game.

I am not even American and I was horrified by just how Biden looked. I am even more horrified by how the libs would do anything to defend this guy.

Thank you, comrade. That's good to know. The loneliness that came from that feeling is somehow worse than not having money. We all should have people who care in our lives.

I wish I could donate to many software projects I rely on regularly. Unfortunately I barely make a living now and being in a developing country makes donations hard to do with all the fees and regulations, as well as the difference in currency (1 dollar is 7-ish of our currency). I still feel guilty about not being able to do that. But maybe in the future I'll be able assuage that guilt. I am learning how to code though and can already make some things. I'll look into contributing code when I feel I can do that.

I actually just watched it today for the first time. Amazing episode!

It's a common conservative trope to bring up people who will abuse any form of social aid. They focus on how some undeserving lazy people will "hack" the system of that aid, driving attention from the benefit of that aid even if some do actually abuse it. Being critical in the posts would not shame the people who do that, it might drive away people who actually need aid. Speaking from a personal experience, I only ask for help after I beat myself up enough and it's not the time for me listen to a lecture. I've never asked for money online like this and finding this community actually surprises me and gives me hope. I once summoned d enough courage to ask a friend for help, not much money, just a loan to buy enough food. They ended up lecturing me about things I already know. What's worse is that they live in Europe and I am in a "third world country" suffering from health issues that make it hard for me to work consistently. I was already so depressed but the lecturing made it much worse and confirmed all the blame I blame msyelf all the time. This made me not ask for anything anymore, and I saw that the world is so dark that even a few bucks to save your life wouldn't be given by a friend. I am of course open to improve in any way but not when I am feeling so down and need to find food. I am much better now and can manage food and rent and necessities. But I still get a bad feeling from that lecture. It's the feeling that if things go wrong for me I might just die because no one cares.

He's literally me
