lmao this boomer chud's frame of reference for woke leftism is The View?

His niece confirmed that he was the sole provider for his family and had been sending earnings to his wife and daughter in Mexico

deeper-sadness

RIP Jaime Alanis. I've actually bought weed from the company he worked so I've probably benefited from his labor. he and his family deserved so much better

cannabis growers are braver than every troop and fascist cowardly ICE agent combined

yeah the phrase "we don't talk enough about" is often used in an intentionally hyperbolic or sarcastic way. probably this person was just stressing out about finding a costume at the last minute and made a lighthearted remark blaming their lack of foresight on their ADHD. I'd give it a 0.1% chance that they were actually suggesting there should be a serious discussion about this topic

I really don't think the tweet was meant to be taken seriously

I think the original tweet was just a lighthearted self-deprecating joke and the retweeter took it way too seriously. it seems the meme is saying that this Very Online interaction has motivated them to touch grass, but I find it ironic because hanging a tweet on your wall is pretty antithetical to touching grass imo shrug-outta-hecks

they released two versions but the "enhanced" one was literally just brightened and sharpened, which is totally pointless and probably contains even less detail than the original because the highlights get blown out and the artifacts become exaggerated. I'm honestly surprised they didn't do some AI "enhancements" (which would have been even dumber of course)

but yeah it seems they're saying even the "raw" version was modified here

I was born in a world without ICE, just like everyone over the age of 22. somehow the U.S. survived for 227 years without it, but these demons act like society would crumble if ICE was abolished. "moderate wing of fascism" is an understatement, there's nothing moderate about these ghouls

the right wing literally worships Epstein's former best friend, the government official, celebrity, and business leader Donald J. Trump, as a god

it's objectively a fact that Epstein was connected to wealthy, powerful, famous people. the FBI itself has come out and said this - before it was taken over by one of those people. by suggesting that discussing this fact is akin to right-wing conspiracies like QAnon, axios is literally covering for pedophiles. is their CEO in the black book too?

[–] ephemeral@hexbear.net 30 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I 100% believe that pizzagate/QAnon was a psyop to make the public forever associate all discussion of wealthy pedophile rings with whacked-out conspiracy theories. now talking about objectively true, well-documented facts makes you sound crazy to the average low-information liberal

I agree that everyone who's able should contribute to society, and that's why I propose sending all CEOs, investment bankers and venture capitalists into forced labor camps

could have gone the rest of my life without knowing that Charlie Kirk walks around all day with a shitty doodoo ass, scratches said shitty doodoo ass with his bare hands and then doesn't wash the shitty doodoo from the hands that he scratched his shitty doodoo ass with

counterpoint: games are also bad, because they are developed by, you guessed it, gamers

(don't take this too seriously, I know there are some good games out there)

 

lord knows chuds and zionists are some of the most violent, unhinged people on the planet and I'm sure the threats against him have increased tenfold since the primary. please stay safe out there Zohran

 

- originally I had the text read "Commiefornia" or "Commiefornia Republic" but that's too meme-y; I wanted an unironic take on what the flag of a hypothetical communist state of California would look like

- changed the white to gold because it's the golden state, also communism (duh)

- I just copied the red and gold hues from China's flag because they look good together, but that might be too derivative

- The hammer and sickle is more akin to the Soviet version, I just grabbed an svg from the internet

- changed the bear's dark brown to black and the light brown to a different dark brown. looks sicker that way. also made the text black

- simplified the grass patch to be one solid color because it's cleaner

as a bonus here's my original hand-drawn "Commiefornia" sketch. I was too lazy to detail the bear but I liked it enough to create the vector version seen above

 

hi comrades I've been on this site with various accounts since it was a subreddit and I've just returned after deleting my last account a few months back

some time ago I posted about being unemployed for a long time and lacking the motivation to find work and just generally being alienated and having no direction in life. a lot of kind people had great advice, and shout out to the person in particular who suggested postal work, whoever you are! that planted the seed in my brain and the more I thought about it, the more sense it made to me. and now I've just received a job offer to become a mail carrier! I will be out in the real world, serving the public, getting exercise, and most importantly, not having to work for porky

it will be a difficult road ahead, this is a radical change in lifestyle but that's exactly what I needed and I'm looking forward to accepting the challenge

PS any advice from other postal worker comrades is very much welcome, as this line of work is very much new to me!
