I wonder if Imats's fish also eats the dead skin cells off his feet
If 1000 baht is 30 USD, do you think you could give them a 20 USD note and they'd be cool with that? I've never traveled abroad so I don't know people's attitudes towards that stuff.

Not in Thailand so much because their money is pretty strong
But in Cambodia usd is pretty much their de facto currency

Man... I deliberately chose today to get a fish massage because I'd been hiking in sweaty boots for hours The plan was to get some BANG FOR MY BUCK Really make these fish work for it
But then they made me wash my feet before i put them in anyway. What a gyp
Maven
They're still going at it pretty hard though
There's a couple of of small Chinese girls next to me and the fish are barely touching them.
They know my feet are where the good shit is.
It's like I'm wearing living socks

TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>178078 you do know the fish massage is to remove dead skin and such and if every guest puts in their sweaty shitty food the fish will just die from the contaminated water
also it would really be a disease centre not saying a fish massage already wouldn't give you a slight increased chance of getting some fungal infection, but same applies to any space where you walk without socks and shoes
Maven
If these beautiful creatures want to eat the filth off my feet who am I to say no?
I'm not gonna, obviously Cause it'd cause damage and also I might get in trouble, but this bitch is the most condescending cunt I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with
And then preferably she loses her house and is forced to work in the same bullshit position we have, with someone above her going "Look, it's really petty of you to bring up the fact that you have literally not once gotten paid on time since you started working here, right now" Fuck that cunt Like actually fuck her right up the ass with a cactus
『ｓｋ』
I was not the target of this, but it pissed me the fuck off
『ｓｋ』
Oh and the conversation right before this was her throwing a fucking fit because the people who go out to smoke in our 5 minute breaks sometimes use as MUCH AS 10 WHOLE MINUTES of their $4 paid hour instead of the 5 allowed minutes
Fuck her
Anno
i've got five and a half hours of work left if i don't take any breaks sometimes my hands get sore and i take a 15 minute break after an hour it would take me about 7 hours and a half if i take breaks >>178104 no i was just talking about my workload today and you talking about breaks made me think of it
『ｓｋ』
>>178103 Is your boss, who takes more breaks than you, telling you you're a lazy fuck and petty for complaining that you literally never get paid on time?
FormerRei@mobile
Well, I'm going to be like a hour late today. At least I was on time the first day.
I do have a sort of okay excuse though, plus they know my commute is really long so if a train or a bus is late I might have to wait a while fir the next one.
I'm so fucking angry at this and I don't even necessarily want to not be, either I think maybe my real calling is focusing on worker rights as a lawyer And then finding SOMETHING illegal that's happening at this fucking place just for the sake of putting this bitch out of a job
FormerRei@mobile
>>178110 Why don't you send anonymous complaints to her boss like today or something?
And besides, I'm not convinced she's doing anything that could get her fired on its own No, she definitely gets paid by someone, but I think that someone is the county
FormerRei@mobile
>>178114 I'm not currently talking about getting her fired. Anyways complain to the county then. Her boss is someone at some iffice there. Might be a good idea to do it anonymously thiugh.
>>178119 I mean 45NOK which is actually $5.33 now that I look at it on google
FormerRei@mobile
>>178118 >she deserves it Dude what? She runs a place that gives disadvantaged people job experience, that operates at a loss. I'm not saying that it means she's super goid and awesome *good and should be forgiven for anything and everything bad she does.
>>178120 oh okay i thought you meant 4 NOK and i checked out the conversion and it was less than 1 USD and i was gonna say riot
that's still unreasonable pay though
『ｓｋ』
>>178121 She's hired to run the place It would exist without her She's the manager and she has no fucking business being the manager because she has 0 respect for the people who are there It operates at a loss because it's a GOVERNMENT INSTITUTION and that's WHAT IT'S FUCKING SUPPOSED TO That wasn't her decision
FormerRei@mobile
>>178123 Fun fact, people with jobs like hers don't usually make a lot of money. If you have problems with her being disrespectful then send anonymous complaints about it to the people who pay her. They might get her to change that, or at least act respectful. If you don't try anything then nothing is going to change (unless someone else does it).
if she's not happy with her pay, then she should know that the people under her aren't happy with their pay both are being taken advantage of she should ally with the people below her because they're in the same boat and being taken advantage of
although she isn't technically in the same boat since SK is the one whose labor is being used and she just watches she should still ally with the workers
Her "labor" amounts to going to MEETINGS and making sure we're there being exploited If she was unhappy with her position she can fucking do something else, we're there because we don't HAVE that option Literally ONE person I work with on my same level hierarchially is there by choice ONE There are FIFTY of us
FormerRei@mobile
>>178125 >>178126 >>178127 What I meant by "she probably doesn't make a lot" was that "people in jobs like that don't choose that career path for the money, they choose it because they want to help people"
Not to mention she's also up our ass about not producing as much as last year MotherFUCKER you should be happy we're making a single fucking one of these units per hour each, because THAT ALONE covers our pay twice over
『ｓｋ』
>>178128 If she wanted to help people she wouldn't act like a condescending cunt
Yeah She'd at least support the workers if she was the kind of person that wanted to help people She probably couldn't find another job
It's not a job where you can really help people unless you perform a bunch of mental gymnastics anyway
『ｓｋ』
She wouldn't consider it 'petty' to complain, when you live WEEK TO WEEKl, about your money N E V E R showing up on time
『ｓｋ』
And she wouldn't move the smoking area to the other side of the building that takes a fucking minute to walk across and then bitch people spend more than the 5 allotted minutes smoking
FormerRei@mobile
>>178133 Complain about that to her then. Or add that to tge list of complaints you send to her boss.
And there's been more mistakes this year than last year too, which confuses her to no end
I mean we've told her it's because since new years they've added about 500 fucking tiny things to the neverending list of things that qualify something as a mistake, and that's why it's shot the fuck up because they DIDN'T BOTHER TO TELL US ABOUT THIS TO BEGIN WITH But fuck
FormerRei@mobile
I completely understand why you have a problem with all
I have a seething hatred for every single person above the sub-managers of this place, all the way up to the fucking stockholders, and I'll gladly be the one firing the rifle if a commie revolution happens
If her replacement was just as bad, I'd take it another step up until the problem's solved
FormerRei@mobile
>>178147 Proto: it's generally easier to fix problems with existing employees than to fire them and train their replacement So maybe try talking with her superiors about this. Alternatively try talking with her about some of this.
『ｓｋ』
Whoever was in charge of her replacement also needs to get replaced
>>178153 Okay then, so you have asked her about what problems she has to deal with and whether or not you could do anything to help. Glad to know. So tell me how it went.
She has to go to MEETINGS all the time, she even sometimes stays a whole hour late to file papers on her computer! She even at times has to talk to the people at the company we're sorta kinda a part of to arrange place for people to go there, and she does that with other companies too She's a very busy woman with many issues related to the fact that she has to do the same shit my fucking dad did at work without acting like everyone else is a fucking faggot
>>178158 I can't listen right now, but Goldfrapp is really good.
Anno
It's just strict machine
FormerRei@mobile
>>178157 So what do you think she does at those meetings?
Anno
I don't think they are a band that I could get into but I like the singles at least.
『ｓｋ』
>>178161 Who fucking knows NOBODY has any fucking idea what she actually meets about, we just know it's a super big deal apparently and very much makes her job worse than ours and she's clearly underpaid at minimum double what we have and we should feel sorry for her We're very spoiled, getting 5 minutes per hour of break time at $5.33/h
FormerRei@mobile
>>178163 So you can't imagine anything she could be doing at those meetings that might be important or stressful or even both?
『ｓｋ』
That last line is her words, not mine
『ｓｋ』
We're SPOILED
『ｓｋ』
I can't imagine a single thing she could be doing at those meetings, because she's at meetings nearly 70% of the fucking week and none of us see any effects of it
FormerRei@mobile
>>178167 What do you think would happen if she didn't go to these meetings?
『ｓｋ』
I have no idea The place would continue running along just as before, and maybe there wouldn't be courses once every three months for shit That's the only actual effect I could see them having, and the thing is I don't agree that you could spend 70% of those three months in meetings and somehow also be using that time efficiently
『ｓｋ』
Like getting a fucking course set up shouldn't take you more than one week in meetings There's no fucking way How do you spend MORE than 40 hours in meetings to arrange a single 2 day course? How do you spend more time in meetings arranging the course than the course takes? How do you fucking ACCOMPLISH that
We have no fucking benefit from working at a higher efficiency by the way Our reward isn't EVEN a 'thanks' from anyone, her included Legit not even a 'good job' We're just fucking expected to work harder than last year for so little money all of us either live with our parents or with a significant other who has a real job For the fucking sake of it
『ｓｋ』
One guy moved out of his parents' house and he literally lives paycheck to paycheck and can't afford an internet connection We're not making enough to get excited by the fucking prospect of making some FAGGOT stockholder another $5000 a month
My main immediate anger comes half from the fact that because some asswipe was watching a movie, I don't get to listen to podcasts anymore On one hand, I understand him because working at this place is utter bullshit On the other hand, he's screwed me over
No, don't worry about it I needed to get my anger out in a way that doesn't damage anything
FormerRei@mobile
Fuck, I'm going to be 1.5 hours late. There's no hourly train on the train line I use between 9 and 10.
『ｓｋ』
>>178179 Oh shit dude Did you oversleep or something?
FormerRei@mobile
>>178180 No, I got back in bed after taking my pills but before taking a shower. Also I could not get a ride to the train. Also I knew I would be late if I got back in bed but I did it anyways. If not for the weird train schedule I'd only be 30 minutes late.
『ｓｋ』
>>178181 I know that feeling Sometimes you just really want another half hour in bed, so you just go back to bed
FormerRei@mobile
>>178182 I generally wait a little bit after I take my meds before taking a shower because I take longer showers when my meds aren't working because of OCD. Although I recognize that phenomenon might be psychosomatic. Err, the phenomena if taking shorter showers when my *after I take my meds. I dont actually know how long it takes them to work.
『ｓｋ』
Oh right you have that to deal with too
FormerRei@mobile
Also, know that I take the bus, my *now my weekly commute costs $106 or so. This is with the first tier of bulk discount.
『ｓｋ』
Jesus That's expensive transportation, dude How long is that bus ride?
FormerRei@mobile
>>178186 The bus is $2 Oh wait, sorry its like $116 Cause $2 on the way there and then $2 on the way back. >>178186 The train ride is the expensive part. Although I'd be able to do it much cheaper if I did it daily for a month throufh the higher bulk discount tier.
FormerRei@mobile
It's a very nice train though. Much better than the ones that people use to get aeound in the city.
FormerRei@mobile
Also I'm going to be immensely irritated if the person doing the training waits until after my train leaves to tell me not to come in today.
FormerRei@mobile
Cause they said they were okay with me being an hour late, but they havent replied to the update I sent about being 1.5 hours late.
『ｓｋ』
Does your OCD ever make you take your meds more than once?
FormerRei@mobile
>>178191 No I think I have no reason to believe so.
FormerRei@mobile
Also Ritalin almost certainly makes your ocd worse.
『ｓｋ』
I was thinking maybe you'd go "wait, DID I take them yet?" Oh I thought the meds were FOR the OCD It's Ritalin?
Yeah no way in hell can you wait more than 10 minutes and go "Did I take these yet?" You know
>>178194 I do that some times Some of my meds are for OCD ERR I meam i do the "did I take my meds?" Thing >>178198 It's not that I dont remember taking my meds its more of "can I trust that memory of taking my meds to be accurate"
Anno
>>178194 I do that with stims Forget if ive taken them
『ｓｋ』
No way can your head be doing math as a passtime ability and also go "I dunno man, I could have forgotten" At least I can't imagine doing that ever
Anno
>>178198 I'm moon You know what goes on in my head? I sure don't
FormerRei@mobile
I'm probably more likely to think I took my meds when I didn't than to take them twice. Well it would More of "I'm not 100% sure I took them, but it would be bad to take them twice so I won't take them just in case" Although taking my meds twice could have been what caused my seizure, but there's really no way of ever knowing if that was the case anymore.
Anno
sometimes i'll set my pill out and then get a glass of water to make it easier on my stomach and i'll just drink the water and then go to work and four hours later i'll realize i didn't take it and then it's too late or i'll fuck up my sleep
FormerRei@mobile
My routine is "get up, go downstairs, eat breakfast and drink a glass or two of water, refill cup, go upstairs, take pills out of bottles and put them in one pill cap then take them. Sometimes I use a pillbox. Pillboxes are a very good method of making sure yoi don't take your meds twice, but i dont always feel like making them. Especially since I take 8 pils a day.
FormerRei@mobile
Also cook county is starting a fucking bullshit gay ass drink tax come July first. I swear they'd better put most of that money into CPS, otherwise there's no good reason for it. We already have 9% sales tax. The fucking drink tax is a penny per fluid ounce, which doesn't sound like very much but it makes a 2L bottle of coke go from $1.10~ (with sales tax) to $1.77~
FormerRei@mobile
Holy shit, it even applies to mixed drinks in bars. Well, it's not all drinks, but covers anything with added sugar or artificial sweeteners.

I'm wearing an N64 tshirt I got on Sunday. Probably the best tshirt I've acquired so far this year.

FormerRei@mobile
Also there's a guy working on webdev stuff on a CLI editor on his macbook a few seats away from me. I bet he feels super 1337, too bad I saw him copy and paste with his cursor.
Well apparently despite being an hour and a half late, I didn't miss anything important. There was a person giving an almost identical power point to tge one that was given yesterday.

Also some other stuff maybe, I was told that the *I might not be a good fit for the place.
It's funny because EU can't really enforce it Google could be like, "we won't support your country anymore" and it would throw those countries into chaos and fuck their economies up
>>178269 True, but that would also lead to ALL OF EU atlest t. commission saying so not using google services too now I would love to see that happen the real EXIT domino event
The EU could use its power to have the US fuck with google or get in on the ruling
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>178269 But this has actually happened or similiar shit say Samsung in SK or Nokia some 16 years ago in finland saying outright "push this through or we leave the country"
>>178275 It'll be a question of which they'll benefit more from personally As politicians
It's a lot less hassle to enforce the ruling, which they don't necessarily even disagree with, than to have the EU fuck with the economy, maybe causing issues for the people who voted for them to get into office. They might withdraw votes next election
>>178276 Well my guess would be the company won't be even fined they will just be forced to fix their service and then sign some secret "do more cencorship in EU" behind closed doors deal
>>178277 politicians suffer from going against google
plus the US would have to agree to it by passing laws through Congress which will never happen US politicians would never turn against US businesses If people notice Google is hurt, they'll hate the politicians too

I was listening to NHK news in Japanese at work because I was bored. Apparently google has made a step forward in they quantum computer. It was amusing to hear the NHK newcasters saying it was a Japanese effort because of a number of Japanese professors involved, "they // This project is a step forward for quantum computing from Japan"
>>178279 >>178282 But this is the problem with mega corporations not that many examples have happened yet, but some are becoming so big that they can do this to any country and even economies as big as USA. Like the aforementioned Nokia case, where nokia pushed a law "lex nokia" through that allowed employers to read their employees work emails
It wasn't evn that ridiculous law, I mean it is a work email not personal email and if there is case for your boss to think you might be leaking top sikrit tech data... well But the fact that they blackmailed ith through and no one could reall say no... Nokia at the time was like 10% of finnish gdp if not more and employed like 20k people
Besides, paying the fine and stopping that shit is likely the best financial solution for Google anyway Pulling out of the EU entirely will slash their profit margin over x years far more than just paying the fine
>>178286 I'd say there are a lot more megacorps than google! Like some of the banks are inbelievably big and own a lot of land on this planet.
>>178291 They run like a business and takes risks as a business in fact take riskes with money that isn't theirs and if it goes wrong they get bailed out or ruin pensions
FormerRei@mobile
>>178286 There are other really big ones, you just don't know them, and that's they they want it.
>>178286 But the thing is Microsoft didn't take over the world for all their riches and influence I doubt google will forever remain as big as it is sure it will remain big but eventually some real competition will come up to it most likely due to google actually splintering up due to internal issues or something like that
>>178294 I can't think of any better monopoly that control over bank accounts and the flow of money. who to lend loans to, who to blacklist, who to let past regulations, what countries to blacklist, etc there are absolutely monolithic banks.
There are a lot of banks that are just subsideries of other banks, like 3 of the major highstreet banks in the UK are owned by Lloyds but generally wouldn't know that. They are the same bank in essence just a different front.
When I worked in the back room I would have all the paperwork for all of them. Printing off letters for multiple different banks

>By the broadest definition, the right of publicity is the right of every individual to control any commercial use of his or her name, image, likeness, or some other identifying aspect of identity, limited (under U.S. law) by the First Amendment. The right of publicity can be referred to as publicity rights or even personality rights. The term "right of publicity" was coined by Judge Jerome Frank in 1953.[32] So essentially, you have legal control of your image, but it can be superceeded if the purpose of the reproduction of it is informative rather than commercial Am I summing that up somewhat decently?

The mere production of a service or product by Google that uses your face as a logo will MAKE your face a bit of a cultural icon >>178346 Even if they didn't, you can only stop that one product or company then Someone then going ahead and using your face for a coffee mug can "make a statement about the event" by reproducing your face Since it is now a culturally significant image

>>178346 Royalties aren't sufficient consolation for someone whose face is now used by some corporation against their will Batman and Superman are culturally significant too Why are they protected, but my face is not?
But that doesn't address the problem The problem is not that you're not getting money, the problem is that your face is being used by some corporation to sell shit Shit you might not even necessarily agree should exist to begin with

I think this should go for Pepe too, for that matter The guy who made Pepe, provided he hasn't formally given anyone else the permission to, should be able to see someone making a Pepe shirt and tell them to fuck right off with that shit It's his IP, he shouldn't lose control of it merely because it got popular enough That's ridiculous

>>178353 you'd have to write some cease and de-cysts before you would really be awarded any royalties, and i assume that they wouldn't start kicking in until after // earnings from after the time of your C&D but if you had trademarked it or published it under a trademarked medium, i think that is some backup. but if you didn't do that you kind of have to cut your losses and start the C&Ds to start earning from their profits, providing you even work out an agreement and / or they don't C&D and continue earning profits if they actually did C&D then you wouldn't have any royalties this might potentially be different by scale, like if you had a specific branding and then something like GM swiped it off you and used it

>>178401 I really wish we could bring back trial by combat and blood sports. In a case of something like assault, it allows the victim to truly exact honourable justice by giving them a fair fight. And if they can't win, then they're just shitters who probably deserved to get mugged.
it feels good to take a walk out by trees and the country i dont think i was treating myself healthy at that isolated apartment with no vehicle i just stayed thinkin about work for 10 hours after the work day ended that's no way to live

9% of my followers are japanes
Anno
probably fake japanese i think like 80% of my steam friendslist has hong kong or south korea on their profile, but they live in the US not sure if they moved here from there and are part of that trend or what but i see it all the time
『ｓｋ』
Naw they got there through grape-kun And I think Twitter itself knows how to filter fake japanes from real japanes
My organic audience thing is completely fucked because of grape-kun >>178410 Organic audience is people not following you, and I think also it disregards people following the people following you Those two tiers, I think are disregarded Possibly just the people directly following you
Anno
there's no such thing as an inorganic audience trust me they're all travelling their own medium, and in that medium it is organic
the aggregate data is so good and it's all fucking free it's the african diamond boom but today instead and we're mining datagems >>178428 i've been working on my proof of concept just using this shit i can literally use that aggregate data to demonstrate an industry need and then even find the right demographics to coordinate a 20-person market research study on that's like 1500 dollars of resources to do that market research myself, and about two weeks of my time but holy shit that's a cheap entryway into potentially landing something huge
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
yeah, it's hard to believe they give all this data out for free
>>178431 how many of them like two turnips in heat
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>178435 it means your followers are less likely /// less interested in whatever, so no point in talking about that stuff so much like if you talk about comedy movies all the time, do it less
Oh I was added to someone's list for the first time by the way It was called "the last classical liberals" or something Little does this niBBa know I'm way further left than classical liberals are
Kannagi@Ganbaranai
How do you find that information about followers? Oh
If you click your name in tweetdeck you get this The listed is how many lists you're i-
Oh you mean the other screenshots That's twitter analytics analytics.twitter.com
Anno
>>178440 it's cool because not only can i draw this data out for free, i can use it to mine the twitter landscape as well so, for instance, if i knew exactly what aggressive pathway to take to reach a market that 100% is in love with the NBA and i could plop some communications about a new nike shoe it'd probably be worthless because people are fuckin crazy about nikes and they watch that shit like a hawk anyway so they would know way before me
>>178447 What i'd probably start doing honestly is contacting the twitter journalists and news providers who want to reach their target audiences and then provide them interactions with their article organically by feeding it down the relevant supply line and not like advertisements, but just the infoflux of who's viewing it and who is interacting and how likely it is to be organically seen by the demographic, some of whom may never have known this new journalist was on the scene or news group was being brought up
I think I was just tired when I watched it I don't remember how far in I got The last thing I remember is the scene where he tried to blackmail a lady in a restaurant
Maybe it was a SPOOK! A spy They probably follow non-capitalists and keep tabs on them!

>>178479 There's absolutely no way they weren't The first follow is our boi Markus, and then both of us There's no way someone makes an account and on that same day, at that time, discovers and follows Markus, me and you Just by chance
Oh shit they just removed a like? And unfollowed someone I think >>178485 Yeah that's also strange You'd think DC would be right after Markus if they were naturally going from there
No idea who it was, but that more or less confirms it, because I just checked it out on a whim I haven't been monitoring it or nothing I just went "hey I haven't seen that person in my notifications for a long time, I wonder if they got bannu or something", and then it was just blank like when you checked it
maybe they'll tell us who they are since they're getting attention
the really interesting thing is that the only moes they followed are me and SK they didn't follow blue or anything and they only followed my main account too

>>178586 Yeah Drinking age is 21 in the US. Reagan (I think) added stuff into the bills about state funding for interstates, so that any state that wanted funding for their freeways had to increase the drinking age ffrom 18 to 21.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
yes, it is illegal for a person under the age to drink and if you facilitate the drinking of minors, you are culpable
Anyways, Illinois increased their legal ddrinking age before Wisconsin did, so teens from illinois would drive up to Wisconsin (or Indiana iiirc) go get wasted and tthen drive back.

Even if I want to do that, that wouldn't make any sense. Piano and Songstress are coming with their families. I am NOT taking any chances with either of their families. Piano's parents are cool but I know her dad can be an intense person. Also, I am PRETTY sure that Songstress's parents are somewhere on the racist scale. It is just not something to breach.

Rei I know you're autistic but there's a reason I intentionally give Blue advice he should not follow.
FormerRei@mobile
>>178775 There's also a reason I linked to your post four times while knowing it was bad advice that he should not follow. It's because the premise of him following that advice is amusing.
>>178780 lol, it's NOT a black church thing. There are a lot of churches in our organization. A lot of them are super white In fact, there's an ongoing suspicion that the reason we don't hit coastal cities is because a good amount of them are in the midwest and they need to get their vote out. Most of our black churches are on the coasts.
And they generally can't afford to send large amounts of their pop to the con. Not all of them anyway, my church goes pretty hard. Like around 50% of us end up going. >voter suppression >>178786 There are lots of nuances that drive politics. This is just one of them.
I witnessed a filibuster attempt at our last conference. These guys are pretty ridiculous. The business meetings were the first tastes of political combat I've ever witnessed.
Is that a strong driving force in the church politics you've talked about in the past, you think? Before with my assumption that it was a black church organization, I just figured there were other nuances driving the politics.
Like, I told you guys about how the only reason we had a black Canadian on our board is because the ENTIRETY of their church congregation and perhaps another Canadian church showed up to vote him onto it. These guys are intense like that.

Also it seems really odd for someone around mmy age to be so passionate about their religious organization that they would spend so much of their own money to do something like this. Especially if they're not super white Ned Flanders tier type of person.
No, no, you got it wrong. I really am just passionate about seeing Piano again. The religious business drama is a BIG PLUS. But I wouldn't go all the way their //there just for that,.

Oh wow, holy shit. I found an example od *of idolatry in ththe New Testament. But here's the kkicker, its not Jesus. Nvm , i misread it. Well, it's still technically idolatry, its jjust not tthe narrator promoting idolatry.
What I don't get is why the left is so fucking weak in the US when all you have to do is use emotion to convince people and the left has emotional rhetoric ON. LOCK.
>>178827 You don't get it? hahaha. The Left has too many opinions of emotion, comrade. Yes, they can rile up a good rhetoric but there are so many positions. There are so many people who fall between the cracks because being better than the Right morally isn't hard to do. So those who are left in the holes either have to cut their losses and just roll with them in hopes that the "incremental changes" will reach them or they can just figure "fuck this shit, no one cares about us" and not bother.
Left wing politics IS the emotional side of politics The right wing is fucking cold and cynical, how is the US left so consistently FUCKING IT UP
『ｓｋ』
Like the left can just go "people deserve the right to healthcare because that way they don't fucking DIE IN THE STREETS, and the right's only retort is legitimately "well some people SHOULD just fucking die if they don't produce enough" Like that's all they got, how are you losing to THIS
FormerRei@mobile
>The right wing is fucking cold and cynical Like I don't even know if I have a good enough costanza for tthat quote Also >>178832 There are literally people who ssay that. Like that georgian congresswoman who got elected even though she said she didn't support a living wage

You also fail to recognize that the Right is just as emotional. Just... in a very different vector.
>>178833 I KNOW! That's what I'm fucking saying HOW CAN YOU LOSE TO THAT

Because >voter suppression >gerrymandering >not connecting to the most vulnerable parts of the base there are technical reasons they lose as well as rhetorical ones. And they fail to work on both. >>178837 That's covered in the third bullet. Well, partially Rather that covers a lot of what's in the "US Left" problems including not connecting to vulnerable people

>>178835 People are retarded That's why, >>178836 Don't forget thousands of people not voting because they didnt like eitger candidate

>>178839 Yes but you see, you neglect the fact that there is a third option of "Just don't vote" which the "more vulnerable part of the base" would generally congregate to because "It doesn't fucking matter who I vote for, I'm not getting [justice-reform/police-reform/affordable-healthcare/etc]

>>178841 Yeah I gguess, if you disregard the argument of "well I might not get better X, Y and Z with either candidate, but I sure will get worse T, U and V with one of them, I guess I'll vote for the other one" It's generally not about maximizing benefits, its minimizing things tthat fuck you over Hence "vote for tthe lesser evil"
Kirara☆
its just a matter of degree of how many people a politician will kill
Maybe the US really does need to push shit so far into the blue there's a violent backlash from the people and red starts actually getting their fucking shit together
>>178839 You think this, but many of these guys are either reveling in what's come about or actually see everything as the same but with someone too incompetent to clean it up and make it look acceptable. They can still very well complain. Just not in the way you expect them to complain. It's a lot of eye opening stuff.

>>178854 When you whittle down the expectations of the people by so much, that they don't even have the desire to gamble on you, then it is probably you who have fucked up rather than them. If the only thing that would get helped or prevented are people who aren't them, then why bother?
>>178858 Yeah I know So why would you complain about losing the arm when you didn't even choose one of the two? YOU COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS by just choosing to lose your leg instead!

YOU STILL WOULD HAVE HAD A LIMB SEVERED MOTHERFUCKER
When you're only given two bullshit choices, you're right not to engage with that bullshit choice to begin with Until the democrats actually move to the fucking left, people are entirely right not to give them a fucking vote
FormerRei@mobile
>>178862 Yeah, but you could have minimized the ddamage by making a cchoice. Also this is a poor analogy.
Minimized for who though? That's the question that needs answering. Those most vulnerable have already been vulnerable. They weren't made that way. Just recently, I mean.

FormerRei@mobile
>>178866 Because Trump doesn't go around chopping of people's arms (yet). Also it's not yiur most accurate analogy.
No, he's just fixing to pass a bill that will lead to more death than the system already does Like that's his intent And Clinton's intent was to keep OBAMACARE around, which already was losing people their fucking coverage
Neither of these are acceptable options They're BOTH shit, and just because they're unequal amounts of shit isn't a good enough reason to pick either of them.
We shouldn't give Trump any credit for whatever health bill comes out because all he's going to do is sign it. He doesn't know shit about legislation. It's all the legislative branch. Trump's credit is just him not vetoing dumb shit into oblivion.
While true, if Clinton were president, they wouldn't be writing it. Because they KNOW she'd veto and they'd have to work for 66 votes instead of just 50. >>178872 Any Republican runner would have done the same thing.

I don't think so Every regular-ass republican candidate would be far too willing to bow down and not use the various things Trump did Cruz wouldn't have the immense support from the more autistic propagandists around the internet that Trump did, he couldn't have even pointed to Clinton taking money from anyone because he does so himself

Cruz, in a "fair" environment, is also a tactical discussion snake of a genius. Like given an opponent that actually gave him a chance to play his cards he's pretty decent in a debate. He just didn't have that.
