Self-inflicted oppression is like autoerotic asphyxiation.

For real, people try their absolute hardest to be miserable, instead of trying half as hard to be not miserable.

We all get it, shit kinda sucks now. Talk about other stuff sometimes.

Yeah, a million ain’t getting you two chicks at the same time anymore.

Ha, niacin was our go-to for passing drug tests as a kid. That full body sunburn was something else. Not even sure it actually helped, but hey, never failed one!

It’s banned forever!

Or until it is unbanned.

Transportation alone uses nearly 3 billion gallons of diesel annually. To suggest nobody cares about how the majority of goods and food products in America make it to our homes is peak Lemmy.

I’m confused by the whole “fault” thing. I EMT’d for about a decade, and there were times we had police escorts, and they’d absolutely come all the way in and stay with the patient the whole time. Just my experience, and maybe I’m confused by the point you’re making.

That being said, the hospital is private property. The hospital presumably has an understanding, and it may be written and memorialized in some sort of agreement, that cops are welcome on the property, in the same way just about anyplace that exists in society does. Maybe not a private residence, but anywhere public may go.

I think this is it. I don’t think people are making music for the love of the art and all that. I think they’re taking a shortcut to potentially produce some sort of side hustle. It’s presumably a “make a song that sounds like a mix between artist X and artist Y,” and then a fine tuning via prompts from there. We live in a generation of hustles and influencers, and AI is great for both of those things. Those things are, unfortunately, just terrible for society on the whole.

It’s cool though, it’ll all come to a head, and we’ll see what happens!

American version:

Protesting is a right, taught in school.

Grab family, go to protest.

Protest turns violent because of hidden cops. Mom gets shot. Dad loses job. Family loses house.

Die.

Kiwi should’ve given that away, duhhhh.

This isn’t journalism, it’s an ad. I hadn’t heard of Kiwibank until right now.

The crazy part is it doesn’t matter who you voted for, everyone on both sides would generally love to help their neighbor and would offer a hand. It’s just when people get involved in the macro sense that they get filled with hate and anger. Makes me sad. Let’s just all move couches.
