Deny, Defend, Deport

i’m going to call this the hegemony of the rich… but what’s the word for when people adopt the values of their oppressors?

poor is such a weird word… in most cases it just means bad. Poor food quality, poor planning, poor critical thinking skills, etc….
but when we refer to a person, poor means a lack of money?
isn’t it just baking in the notion that impoverished people are bad?

all of life has dying built in… that’s a pretty big limit to your limitless growth….

in an ecosystem when a population doesn’t balance, that’s called a plague and it kills themselves and everything else.

yeah, it’s almost as if language is an evolving thing….
but fuck that noise, i only accept definitions from the 1876 edition of Merrium-Webster… all other usages are wrong.
(i do seriously had when the nounify a verb like “cringe” or making “sus” mean anything at all bad…

the DNC needs to be completely overhauled or thrown out. Bernie would’ve definitely beat Trump but they actively conspired against him, and then when sued for fraud, claimed they never said they’re actually democratic, in spite of the name… and won in court.

the GOP tried to stop Trump as well, and in spite of being complete pieces of shit, they actually are democratic and couldn’t stop him.

but, as they say, the entire system is stupid and designed to fuck us over.
i see this continuing until the collapse of the usa, and probably the entire planet’s ecosystem

no it’s TERRIFYING!!!

dude is masculine in every definition i’ve found (looked it up) except for a city slicker new to a ranch…
i’ve always known it to be gender neutral… but i have a female friend that gets offended every time someone calls her that.
but the fact that it keeps happening means that it’s gender neutral to all of those people too (she’s a fairly feminine female).
that said, it’s best to just call people terms that they are comfortable with, not ones that you’re comfortable calling them.
personally, i find calling a single person they/them a little obtuse, but it’s not really that hard. (slightly confusing when there’s a question of whether im referring to them or a group of people).

of course he’s forgotten

of course he forgot… he forgets all sorts of things….

well you could just make a lemmy community about spurious bans and people could vote on it, and you could tag them in the comments somewhere….

rittenhouse should’ve been federal… but he (supposedly) crossed state lines to enforce the law and ended up murdering someone….
i think he hoped to murder someone but still, it’s different and pretty clearly a federal case.
….
they definitely selectively enforce it, like when some anarchists drove from portland to Seattle in order to spray paint a courthouse during a protest: that became federal charges because they anarchists, mostly….
i was honestly surprised when states were charging luigi instead of the feds at first

i saw this movie and it was great… but the mandela effect deleted it from this timeline

that’s not how it works….
luigi, allegedly, traveled across state lines for the sole purpose of the killing, and immediately left the state.
Zapeta-Calil was living in ny and committed a murder while he was there. He didn’t travel there just to burn someone… he was there already and did it….
but god damn that’s a horrible way to die. the worst i can imagine except for some deliberately slow torture….

the interstate aspect of it makes it kinda federal…

thank you for having some sanity….
i’m pro luigi, anti health industrialization… but yes obviously the doj will charge you for shooting someone.
the terrorism charge is probably where the pressure went

DMT is nothing like shrooms… well, maybe like if you ate a pound of mushrooms, but it lasts for 15 minutes that feels like hours….
…
imagine hallucinating so hard you can’t tell a difference between opening and closing your eyes (i felt like i could see the matrix).

machine elves that disassemble and reassemble your body… little blue circles that swoop in and redraw the screen when you turn your head…

different for everyone and i’m not describing it well… but you definitely don’t want to try walking, for example.

i did bowl the best game of my life on mushrooms… but otherwise i prefer L

i’d say it’s the best all psychedelics… all of the others get me the visuals without the mental aspect… except maybe DMT but that’s a lot harder to handle

LSD definitely helped me understand calculus…
that and Shpongle

damn, you’re such a hostile tool… take the L, buddy…
Rosalind Franklin may have been integral, but crick was still taking lsd when he inferred the proper shape, and i’d bet $20 Rosalind was taking it too….
….
you’re definitely not a biologist though, fuckin liar… a real scientist would appreciate the nuance and not just try to argue bullshit side points to be right on a forum.
