It’s literally called “flooding the zone” and they’ve talked openly about the fact they’re doing it

lol wtf
That I was too high maintenance. I’m disabled and always been in the position of “be grateful for what you have and don’t you dare ask for anything” taking up space was a sin I could never be absolved from. In reality I’m incredibly self sufficient, I’m competent, I’m capable, I don’t ask for much and what I do ask for is both justified and reasonable. Being taught asking for even the most basic things made me an ungrateful bitch sent me on and endless pursuit of how to best disappear 🫥 but I’ve realized I’m absolutely not “high maintenance” I’m a completely normal person who needs totally normal amounts of support, affection, care, etc and if I occasionally want or need more of something that doesn’t make me an ungrateful bitch.
Not everyone knows how to drive a super car, it’s not the cars fault, the car isn’t doing anything wrong if the driver can’t handle something so powerful
It’s like when we discovered the lymphatic system in the body, basically invisible while being critically important
It says she’s the only person on the world like this - she is only compatible with herself so… how do we know this 1) is actually the only person, like how can this even be asserted and 2) is this actually a “blood type” if she is the only one, not just a genetic fluke?
Counterpoint, that’s actually not the blues states jobs, our job is to take care of our state(s) just like others states job is to take care of themselves.
As a Washingtonian I would be thrilled if the west coast became independent but there’s no movement towards it and of course the road getting there is unknowable, but as an abstract concept it’s lovely.
Red states have done nothing but hold places like where I live back, they’re actively dragging us down with them and it’s wildly unfair to ask me and my people to subsidize states that relish in our destruction and aim to drown us along side themselves. Red states don’t deserve to be subsidized, let them live with the consequences of their actions without the comfort blue states afford them and see how long those red state governments last.
Sounds like they were working as intended. In France they have speed cameras on the highway that average your speed over a distance and mail speeders tickets too, should be everywhere. Silly to stop such a wildly successful public safety campaign, if anything it’s clear this is a real problem and the program should be expanded. Why is signage needed? Follow the rules and don’t get a ticket is already a very well publicized concept, don’t speed and the cameras aren’t a problem
Americans are always about how we hate the government of a country but not the people, at least this American is and all the Americans I know are, I know it’s not literally universal. To say “I hate the Iranian government but not Iranian people” seems pretty reasonable if you hate the Iranian government but for them to turn around and basically say “well I consider all American entities, including completely powerless civilians free game” is fucked I’m no matter how you look at it. Like wtf more do you want from me? I vote against this, have for decades, I protest against this have been since W was in office, I donate money and energy to war torn countries, I’m absolutely against bombing any country why exactly am I considered fair game?? Fuck anyone who lumps entire countries of people into a single hive-mind that serves its leader, a fraudulent one no less
Must be spill over from the meme groups posting ancient stale memes
Iran is their ally yet they’ve allowed Israel to strike Iran with out repercussions so they’re sending a lot of mixed messages
They’re both deep underwater skeletons and have been for like a decade idk why something that’s like ancient internet history is being treated like something new, Lemmy is an alternate universe or something
This is why I’ve already deleted basically everything, social media is a cancer that pushes us further and further apart and replaces meaningful interactions with vapid and shallow counterfeit interactions, it’s a net loss for anyone using it at this point.
