Chamomile(relaxation), lavender(relaxation), peppermint(nausea deterrent), and lemon(sore throats and the like). Catnip’s also kinda neat when tea’d; got an interesting flavor to it, but I’m not sure if there’s any therapeutic benefits to that.

Anyone who knows the climate and environmental cost of one of your bullshit coins is well within their rights to hate the nasty fucking things. Y’all would broil this planet alive just to be able to buy your dark web treats.

Take this amateur debatebro shit back to reddit, fuckboy. You’re the one who wanted to get huffy with me tryna up some hollywood weirdo who probably has just as many skeletons as Masterson in his closet; I don’t owe you shit

I don’t address techbro wastemen; and I haven’t been given any reason to believe any of them are worth addressing if they’re still schlepping facial recognition routines that still routinely misidentify Black and brown faces. I love how you completely disregard the weirdos in the room to peddle your wagon-circling crap.

Iunno, if someone I knew was involved in trafficking-victim advocacy efforts, then turned around and penned a letter in defense of a rapist who caught 30 to life, I’d suddenly be second-guessing said advocate’s bonafides, and double-checking them too. That’s too rowdy a lapse of judgment for me personally to let slide; and all the parasocial weirdos suddenly jumping to Kutcher’s aid when it’s well known he was a 20 year old with a tongue down a 14 year old’s throat on primetime television is equally as sketchy.

"‘Just trust Ashton Kutcher’ is terrible public policy.”

From the river to the sea

What nuance is there be had about this? Israel is a settler-colonial apartheid state that deserves what should’ve happened to America when those settlers were doing it. That’s like saying “the civil rights conflict has an infinite list of wrinkles and nuances”; in that it’s objectively wrong.

Don’t y’all still have a blackface festival anyway; or am I thinking of one of your neighbors?

“and I’m a communist–”

“Today, the bourgeoisie and the opportunists within the labor movement concur in this doctoring of Marxism. They omit, obscure, or distort the revolutionary side of this theory, its revolutionary soul. They push to the foreground and extol what is or seems acceptable to the bourgeoisie. All the social-chauvinists are now “Marxists” (don’t laugh!).”

I don’t believe Americans are capable of such radical change-- or any radical change, for that matter. I genuinely don’t; and this country’s history would suggest that it likes to shoot down those who try to change it in the streets; so why would I stick my neck out like that for people I manifestly don’t trust and can’t believe in?

What even are the alternatives at this point? Google’s evil, Microsoft’s incompetent and bordering ‘lesser’ evil themselves, and Brave’s a scheme that techbro crypto nerds can’t help but shill whenever it comes up in conversation, so I want nothing to do with it.

With settler-descendants the way they are now, the literal last thing I’m thinking about is sacrificing my life for one of theirs. There is no love in me for ‘my fellow countrymen’ anymore; just the constant shrieking instinct in the back of my head that y’all are unsafe and I need to get out of here before the jackboots start goosestepping down Main Street,

See, this is the kind of shit I’m talking about when I drag these pseudo-eugenicist techbros. How you gon classify who’s ‘great and greater’? Doming hammers, calipers, and speculae? You finna start talkin bout achilles heel lengths and skull dimples now? You know saying some downright ghoulish shit then deleting-and-running doesn’t make you seem any less ghoulish, right? “Oh, nah MS10k, life’s just split into the greats and not-greats and if you’re not-great you’re a fuckin serf to your betters” I sincerely hope you fuckin hear yourself someday

Absolutely. There is no hope or faith in me for settler-descent Americans; I literally think it’s more likely I die at the hands of a cop in this country than any other possible way. If I knew I’d never have to worry about the exorbitant exit tax, and knew I had a paying job and comfortable shelter on the other side, I’d go as far as to learn the lingua franca and never think about America again other than to “damn, I’m fuckin glad I got out of there before this NEW SHIT happened.”

But since the job market is a fraud in and of itself, techbros are by-and-large sociopathic ghouls, there isn’t a such thing as a boss that doesn’t steal enough of one’s paycheck week to week to make flight from America impossible, and most actually-existing socialist nations have lists of pre-existing conditions they don’t admit; that’s outside of my means, and ultimately an idealist waste.

If they want my time and patronage, they can learn how my community’s melanin distributes across our bodies. They can learn how to render coarse hair. They can broaden their character demographics beyond ‘what kyles are comfortable with’. Otherwise, they can fuck right off. And I haven’t seen many Eastern in general devs willing to even so much as try. Mihoyo and Square-Enix are both kinda on my shitlist right now.

The reddit exodus tanked the quality of discourse so hard, I have to use my block list the exact same way I was using it on reddit; and that’s fucking depressing. Eternal September, all over again.

And? PRISM’s been doing that for more than a decade now, and you never had an issue with that.
