so hachikoma is another script kiddie meth addict, except the US is so fucked up for a brief period that idiot was involved in healthcare policy. What a day.

I used to follow that mob guy Michael Franzese after his videos analyzing mob films/shows. Haven't checked up on his vids in a whole, but today I did and he's gone full transphobic culture war wacko...

I stopped watching him when he said socialism = communism and that kinda shit.

These 2 morons deserve to be buried in concrete.

I wrote a carepost this morning that the server wisely ate. It essentially boiled down to ‘one death is a tragedy, a thousand deaths is a statistic’, ‘why are the memes always Floyd and not Garner?’, and ‘any public figure using social media has to be a proper twat to touch dodgy memes’.

I maintain that I wouldn’t want to trust the risk management and hazard perception skills of that goon on the track 

Edit: don’t mean to besmirch benji, my internet is being shit, not ‘the server’.

I used to love Connor McGregor until I found out all he cares about is trans rights and bringing down capitalism.

Ooh that guy that hit that old lady on the head with the chair haha, damn

cool forum

I honestly could not tell you a single thing a coworker said at the office last week that wasn’t purely work related. How do theirs brains not automatically filter out all the meaningless chitchat? Couldn’t tell you any of my office’s political affiliation if I wanted to.

I work in a small office with 6 people total. Each of us has different political views which we can openly express without anyone being offended. We sometimes agree to disagree, other times we consider what the other person is saying and maybe change our minds or own opinions. Shit is wild y'all.

Jesus. Just nationalize shit like this

Yeah. "we can't do x." yes, you can, you're just too busy stuffing your fucking pockets. use the defense production act. march-in under the bayh-dole act. or just fucking steal their shit without justification, who cares, i'm not a pharma exec and neither is anybody i know. but i have been completely fucked without reliable adhd meds for over a year.

after my ir adderall disappeared i tried:

• caffeine for a week. i hate it and never used to use it. absolute worst stim i've ever had.
  
• decent [stimulant drug] for a few days. too erratic. no idea how 19th century philosophers did it.
  
• inconsistent [other stimulant drug] for a few days. too grindy though apparently you can get used to it.
  
• switching my scrip to ritalin. did literally nothing for me, guess my metabolism sucks and/or my other mental illnesses/prescriptions fucked with it
  
• switching my scrip to vyvanse. no idea how that would be. it's been two months and i haven't found anywhere that can fill it yet. scrip is probably expired i guess.
  

currently I'm doing the best i can on caffeine and a small stash of xr addy bummed from trans comrades i've seen at at conferences recently. used my second-to-last ir pill to get through a panel i was on. shit is dire as fuck.

my doctor doesn't acknowledge my previous diagnosis of adhd and certainly won't prescribe any stimulants
sadly i don't think availability is the issue for me

go find a private psych in your nearest university town and pay them the $200 out of pocket they ask for, you can absolutely regain access if you need it. (obviously hard to do unmedicated but it's very achievable if you give up on getting anything other than a scrip out of the 15-minute "sessions" and have the cash to just go along with the grift.) once you have it it's a lot easier to get a gp to just keep writing it in perpetuity. alternatively if you have any friends in the harm reduction or drug scene they may be able to direct you to a pill mill clinic. i went to a pill mill doc at first when i moved back home and just needed someone willing to write scrips for the hrt i've been on for 11 years without throwing a fit; it was smooth and uncomplicated. they even threw in mmj papers!

getting hrt scrips the first time around in louisiana back in 2012 when there were only like four docs in the state willing to start you on it was so insane and demeaning that it completely fucked my trust in the medical establishment. everything gets easier once you've been trained to just view doctors as drug-dispensing atms you just have to learn to press the right buttons on.

This is mental illness. Nothing else.

I agree with you.

I think what makes George Floyd an exception (at the moment at least) to comparisons like Hitler jokes, Holocaust jokes, 9/11 jokes, etc... is the manner of his death. Having another man's knee pressed against your neck for almost 10 minutes while you suffocate slowly, all the while pleading for help.

No one deserves to die in such a dehumanising and humiliating way. 

I'm not against the death penalty for the most heinous and worst crimes, like child murderers and rapists. But make it quick. For me at least, and I am sure most others on this forum, there is no pleasure or satisfaction in seeing someone suffer an agonising death.

George Floyd didn't do anything that even remotely warranted such cruel treatment. Conservatives like to trot out his criminal record and that he was arrested and jailed for 4 years for robbery, as some kind of justification for his death. They deliberately neglect to mention that afterwards he tried to change his life around and worked with a local church to discourage youth violence.

Basically, the textbook model prisoner who was almost reformed.

I understand the comparison to Eric Garner, but I guess the timing was different. It was May 2020, the height of the international lockdown, people sitting at home, bored, frustrated, angry and the Floyd incident provided the inappropriate spark as an outlet for heightened tensions.

It's amazing when you consider how often they write about working in "harm reduction" and clean drug use and all that, and then they just openly admit it

alternatively if you have any friends in the harm reduction or drug scene they may be able to direct you to a pill mill clinic.

I agree with both of you, but I also feel strongly that people shouldn't lose their livelihoods over non-work-related issues, as much as possible

all technicalities aside, yes this particular guy is only "suspended," and yes you could say that the way he conducts himself could be said to reflect badly on the company, I'm speaking in general, where losing your job in our current world can rapidly lead to losing absolutely everything and google searches of your name mean you can actually never seek employment again

and it may be somewhat contradictory to think "to make fun of this is particularly cruel and awful" and "people shouldn't have their life ruined for making fun of it"

it's just that there is no possible way to define a standard for this

there was a time when being openly gay or trans would "reflect badly on the company" and be grounds for firing, or not being christian enough

these days we even have situations where supporting trans causes gets you fired (the person at Bud who courted Mulvaney) but also being anti-trans gets you fired (the Limited Run person above), it's a fucking shitshow

everyone draws the line on unacceptable statements/jokes/memes at different places and to allow open season on it leaves everyone on pins and needles, a chilling effect, because who knows what topic is someone else's personal George Floyd

I don't know of a solution, I suppose a first step is not taking any action if the person apologizes and promises not to do it again, because that way at least if they refuse, you have the actual work-related reasoning of insubordination to your boss's request

[Venice]

Uncle, I totally agree with you that people shouldn't lose their jobs either. 

Regardless, in this particular case, I don't have much sympathy. This guy's income is on a totally different level, probably earning in one day what most people earn in one year. He probably also has lots of sponsors and advertisers who are still sticking by him.

He'll also be inevitably making the rounds on Fox News and rightwing YouTube channels, complaining about those gosh-darn liberals attacking his freeze peach. So he definitely won't be left destitute or homeless!

[Uncle]

this too, though...the idea that firing people over such things actually encourages/manufactures right wing grift culture

if you can't get a normal job anymore because you've become toxic, just get dollar signs in your eyes and write books and become a public speaker for conservative events! this is supposedly a good thing, because it proves that no one is left destitute?

In other news, Era's resident dumbfuck shit-stirrer Neoxon is back with another thread complaining about white voice actors voicing black characters, while also reposting libellous claims about DC Douglas being a sex pest without a shred of proof except a vague tweet from a borderline anonymous twitter account.

Will someone please tell dumbass Neoxcon that nobody, absolutely nobody in the real world, gives a fuck about which race is voicing imaginary characters.

What's always the deal with voice actors using their incredible power to seduce helpless poor fans. 
Like legitimacy of the accusations aside, I already have a hard time believing that the guy who is famous for voicing Albert Wesker has girls so starstruck they drop their panties before they even know what happened.

What happened with DC Douglas? I've only ever heard good stuff about the guy.

People are weird and many fans are perverts (whenever they are male or female).

EX: While Vic Mignogna is a creep, the dude had a creepy fandom way before the accusations reached the boiling point.

Dunno about the Wesker guy because the accusation is from a random at Twitter.

I like that they clarified that they were being sarcastic in congratulating Capcom for hiring a sex pest and NDA breaker.

i got fired last week for refusing to shut up about how fucked it is that a (cis) WH staffer called our (cis) executive director to successfully have me disciplined for criticizing the admin's inaction in a healthcare ban policy memo that my own boss forwarded to them. i have heard from a trans comrade at a different org that they were also recently disciplined in the same manner. personally i would prefer a president whose admin doesn't react to criticism from the targets of fascist attacks by exerting pressure on advocacy organizations to quell dissent instead of doing something useful.

the orgs are culpable for being so thoroughly captured by shitty democrats, but that doesn't excuse the admin for being shitty democrats.

Wow, good thing nobody has posted anything connecting you and your ResetERA.com account anywhere.

They seem to really earnestly believe it hurts "pharma execs" if the state illegally seizes absolute control of the drug industry. The same state running a militarized drug war that it's used all the war on terror power extensions in. The same state they can't stop complaining about how it's failing everywhere in every way. The same state they're worried about enacting fascism which is a system in which the state nationalizes the entire economy.

Typical addict thinking btw, assumes an immediate one-time "boost" in "availability" (aka clearing out supply completely) means the state would be able to maintain the supply even though it really means there will be a temporary illusionary bump followed by permanent increased scarcity as always happens in central planning. Or, as the state is also likely to do, to start trying to grab supply from around the world until the same thing happens.

i'm in initial talks with two other folks about starting a new worker-owned bodily autonomy skunkworks org to house unified trans/abortion/harm reduction policy and practical support throughout the south.

Can't wait! Keep being crazy so I remember to check your Twitter about this!

I stopped watching him when he said socialism = communism and that kinda shit.

There's not actually a difference. The original distinction was Lenin and Stalin's excuses for why "communism" aka permanent endless utopia was not happening immediately, that was just "socialism" and "communism" would follow shortly once the dissent against the state stopped. Ask yourself what the difference is supposed to be. Both are the state seizing the means of production for a central planning dictatorship. That's why everyone before the Soviets issued propaganda orders used the terms interchangeably, including all the Soviets.

My girlfriend told all her friends that I drink her piss

She(19f) told them about how at first I(19m) only had her pee on my face, before we moved further and had her piss directly into my mouth. We had talked about this before and agreed not to tell anyone. But then she went on and bragged about it to all of her friends anyways. It’s just really embarrassing.

But when I confronted her she said it is her sex life and she has the right to tell her friends. Am I wrong for being upset about her telling them?

Yeah, we could have just kept fire bombing everything in sight and then battled up the islands. Of course U.S. leaders knew that, that's why they dropped the atomic bomb, they hoped the threat would prevent them from having to level the islands (at least that which was not already leveled) by conventional means. They told everyone that at the time and ever since. Thanks for confirming what everyone's always known.

As a pacifist I obviously oppose both means, but if your standard is "unconditional surrender" in a war they started, then dropping the atomic bombs saved countless lives.
