8000 a year? That would be a huge help. Like it would alleviate almost all of my burdens.

Scrip is kinda low key a thing again. My SO works for wawa and there is definitely some scrip vibe. They have a company store, a points reward system, they will put you through school if you take classes that benefit the Corp, and the only way to move up is to basically bootlick management at weird company festivals.

It all has this very dystopian vibe of “everything within the corporation eco system” and my SO is a very principled women who is shy and kind and she refuses to take a step to elevate herself within the Corp, but getting a union going is pretty hard where we’re at, everyone is very much of the boot tasting, welfare queen bad variety.

Just come to terms, probobly through traumatic events, that all life is is rejection. Then there is no rejection. There all done!

What were we talking about?

One dog in my current line of work is too much already usually. However I always love it and makes me happy to give my attention to a pup. But I’d say in general no. Too many cooks.

Subtle

Active addiction and the hopelessness of hunger, legal trouble, and flexing my principles in order to function.

I’m at the “I’m actually glad I experienced all that crazy traumatic stuff” stage of the gas lighting.

It’d be Jesus for me. I love a highly principled man telling me what to do.

Look it’s a commie! Get that dirty hippy!

The wheels fell off this one for sure

Guitar and guitarcirclejerk lol

Consciousness is wild. I’m pretty sure I can feel all of you in my head, for sure.

Ahh I see the strategy. Put out this trafficking movie, hype dems as pedos (and commies) and stir up a whole terd of doo doo. Classic.

I’m not uploading my ID to shit.

Both probably. Rules depends on the situation. Pushing them is how we make change in the world. Overall I’m a good boy. Passive. I will do whatever to keep the peace. But I have a rebellious streak in me, and a self loathing one apparently, and ended up with a criminal history. I am pretty meek and quiet but if you get me going I will take a stand. I think perhaps I became too flaccid at a certain point. But I’ve pretty much hung out with “rule breakers” my entire life up until this point now that you frame it this way. Some wild ones, too. I can’t blame them at all, mostly. It just depends on which side of the law your on tbh. There is way too much nuance to this lol.

As far as social expectations as rules I usually fail miserably, but can act good enough usually. I have always avoided people. Which is why I like to come here, cause I get to write this out and now I actually feel some type of way.

Hand tools. Wool socks. Fire extinguisher.

That’s cause they’re all about my self interest🥰

The creation of the universe is a miracle ✨️

The creation of lemmy is an extension of that, and the boundaries of collective of thought.

I was literally just realizing that now. I just checked inbox for the first time, and it’s pretty annoying. I would mind less if there was at least the entire comment chain within that top comment, cause I often forget what the hell I even said. I was using jerboa before, and there are features I’m really really missing. Sync would be great for perpetual lurker, but I’m addicted to commenting lol. No post creation also a drag, so I’ll just use sync and jerboa in tandem for now.

I used jerboa for last few months, but I got sync the other day, and it is very smooth but I’m really missing certain things from jerboa I found super intuitive. Also in sync I can’t seem to highlight, copy, paste from a posted comment…perhaps that’s a paid feature only? Also no post creation is kinda lame, and I hope that is not behind a pay wall too. …I don’t mind paying guy for his work, but I can’t afford it.

I was also a RiF user (:
