  • As someone with a family who absolutely doesn’t give a single shit about the difficulty of living with ADHD and just tells me to “get over it and stop being so lazy”… yes, they most likely didn’t have anyone willing to lend a hand and help them in the way they needed help because regular people don’t tend to think of the things we struggle with as being challenging enough to warrant needing assistance with.

    Having a supportive community is a privilege that so many take for granted.





  • The American system is not a system where the power comes from the bottom up. It is very much hierarchical where entities have authoritative power over the rest. The feds exist above the state that exists above the county that exists above the city. When the feds make a law, everyone underneath them in the hierarchy has to obey its law or be policed. It’s happening right now in the US how this hierarchical structure is forcing states to withhold releasing SNAP funds because the federal government, her on the hierarchy, commands it of them. America is also hyper-capitalist, the system of private property ownership where the owner exists above the laborer/consumer, which is also inherently hierarchical.

    I’m not here to tutor you, and I’m not going to engage in an argument theorizing over “what works” with someone who doesn’t even understand the fundamentals of hierarchy versus anarchy. You have no authority to request examples of me for you to judge what does or doesn’t work.

    If you need explanation, there are videos on YouTube. Anark is a good one who is very in depth with his theoretical knowledge.



  • This is such a gross misrepresentation of those suffering from the myriad of mental health issues that can manifest as hoarding.

    Hoarders aren’t stupid people “collecting” trash on purpose. It is a manifestation of unhealthy coping mechanisms surrounding resource instability, so they have a tougher time mentally letting go of things because they might need it later and not be able to obtain replacements, or an issue of executive function where the trash becomes a mountain too large for them to climb and they have spiraled out.

    Yea, I responded how I choose to do. I don’t owe you a discussion. You’re not worth discussing with, and it’s been readily apparent from the moment you first replied with that bs, bad faith question.

    You’re utterly ignorant if you think that the structure of politics doesn’t alter the implementation of economic systems. You really are stupid.

    How fucking stupid are you that you do not understand politics and economics are intrinsically linked? You cannot have an economy without the overarching government that dictates its structure.

    You have no education that matters for these purposes if you don’t even know this most fundamental basic.

    I don’t owe you a conversation, fyi. I have no interest in a discussion with a simp for the owning-class

    Nice try framing the question with arbitrary qualifications to what you, personally, would consider a valid answer. Too bad I don’t respect your authority to determine what is or isn’t valid.

    Ooooh, you have a degree in “business”? Please just announce for the whole class that you’re biased as fuck to any answer I would give. (B/BS/M)BA’s are such bullshit, nothing more than capitalist brainwashing, teaching people how to best maximize the profits of the owning class and uphold the interests of this exploitative system of economics.

    You forget that societal systems don’t exist until they are created. Capitalism used to never exist and, during its infancy, was argued extensively by the ruling class of the time that it didn’t “work”, yet now we live in a world where it feels inescapable. So, to your logic, I guess people back then never should have tried to create a new system in which to better their lives because that system wasn’t one that “exists in the world that works”.

    Please, miss me with your simple minded bullshit.

    Wow, you completely missed the point.

    Nothing is set in stone. Everything that exists today are imaginary social structures, including but not limited to the entire concept of economics and finances, that 100% can be altered or removed in their entirety.

    Go read political theory and educate yourself to find the alternatives. There are many.




  • Game was fun for a week until the nostalgia high wore off and you just became more aware of how much shittier playing is now compared to the old days.

    I remember customizing my armor and stuff for multiplayer back in the old days. Tried to do it after a week of playing Infinite, thinking I surely had some pieces unlocked to make a custom armor, to find EVERYTHING locked off and isolated, no free color palettes to use, no mix-n-matching sets. So, sure, I had a bunch of pieces unlocked, but they were all one or two for different sets.

    This broke the rose color glasses for me. My next few games I started noticing the flaws in the gameplay, and just found myself wanting to play Halo 2 instead.
