Getting really sick of the transit situation in my area. My partner will never be able to drive, so we either need to live close to her job, or i need to drive her (I WFH, so its doable, but I cant reliably guarantee my availability). But even when applying for jobs, they'll ask shit like "do you have a license" and turn you away for saying no on the grounds that you need reliable work transport. When i talk to locals about public transit, the sentiment is that it's either not doable because we "Aren't New York" or that "nobody wants it.". I suppose we could move to a city with transit, but they're all significantly more expensive to live in.

Idk I'm just venting. My partner is job searching and only finding hybrid jobs in other cities. Anyone else living in Amerikkka manage to get by w/o a car or license? How do you get around when there's limited transport/sidewalks besides risking life and limb biking on the road?

I condemn Hummus

Honestly it hasn't impressed me yet, but maybe i just haven't had good hummus

Wait isn't that the plan? My private line to our Chinese HQ has been blowing up with Xi Jinping repeating "Mobilize the pigs" ad nauseum.

Shit, i need to get a protractor ASAP

I stand corrected - I must begin studying the spear.

They are disarming the proletariat because they know how hard we have all been studying the blade. The sword is the true worker's symbol of liberation. Only a multi-thousand-times folded blade can cleanly slice through the chains of oppression.

I only vote for candidates that I know will lose

I think Redditors would be full mask-off if their usernames were anonymous like on 4chan. Not all that different, but Reddit feels more "Polite" than 4chan.

US right-wing politics has a real 4chan vibe to it these days, it's been weird to watch 4chan ideas and vernacular become mainstream

I love adhd meds in the US. You get exactly enough for a month, need to see the doctor if you want another month, and if you fuck this process up by one day, good luck getting your unmedicated ass to the doctor/pharmacy for more.

ADHD treatment is so anti-ADHD. I remember trying to become a patient at an ADHD clinic - i guess i was overlooking something on the paperwork because they just sent the paperwork back to me 6 times with the note "Please complete all the paperwork". I spent weeks thinking i wasn't flattening the PDF right, but apparently i was overlooking a whole section. I finally get it right - and they ghost me lmfao

I appreciate the response - I understand what you are saying. I do want to clarify that I'm not trying to argue from an arbitrary moral/idpol perspective. In the article in the linked thread, they interviewed a person who is a part of the Navajo nation, who argues explicitly against the consumption of Mescaline for outsiders, synthetic or not.

“How would Christians feel if Jesus Christ was cloned?” asked Justin Jones, a Diné peyote practitioner and legal counsel for the Native American church of North America, a non-profit organization that advocates for more than 300,000 members. “And while the real Jesus is protected, people could do whatever they wanted to the clone.”

Creating synthetic mescaline in a lab or growing peyote in a greenhouse is a violation of natural law, and interrupts the unique symbiotic relationship with the plant. “What western scientists call mescaline is for us the essence of the medicine,” said Jones. “It is the soul of it and what makes it holy.”

If I am understanding you correctly - that would shift this from being a purely value-neutral form of appropriation, to being actively harmful and disrespectful.

Can you help me understand what you mean, or point me in the right direction? I'm not exactly a well-read Marxist and I'm not trying to hide it
