There’s this awesome dude on Twitch. Big old beard, used to gift games to his community consistently, consistent interaction, and last I checked he had maybe 4 people watching him. Dedication is good, though it’s really tough even being cool and likeable when luck just doesn’t give a fuck.

As for me: ADHD rarely lets me stay in a community for longer than a few months, so I sorta fell out, as I do. Still, it’d be awesome if one day I saw him sitting with 20+ people.

Edit: Just had a quick peek and only 5 people. :/

He, uh… doesn’t appear to have…

Send again.

What?

Send again.

That seems a bit c-

You’re right, it doesn’t seem to be working and likely requires a calibration. Hop on.

…one more time, sir?

One more time.

Here’s what I’ve seen and heard about Harris:

She’s not white. WOMAN. ACAB. Not popular. Is popular. Can win. Can’t win. Biden better. No. Polls well! Never talked about.

Please, let’s split the base more while the Republicans all-in on one guy. We’ll be fucked the same way we always actually are: By ourselves.

I’ll say this:

Whether he stays or he goes we all need to figure out a direction soon or be split when it matters most.

It is an excuse, when used as a barrier to why they can’t. My point being that these rights, expectations, social norms, whatever else we might call them or list, are being slowly shaved away. There is also something to be said for that risk being one of the leashes placed upon the working class. A fear of reprisal. A very real fear, unfortunately.

Yet this is where we are. Either we take these risks or risk everything being systematically taken away anyway while we struggle to pay ever increasing bills. A slow death from financial squeeze.

Sorry :)

I know from experience that the only way anyone who holds such strong beliefs will change their mind is when they are placed in a situation that seriously challenges it. So most of the time it is up to the individual to choose to challenge their beliefs, not me. I’m just a speaker you can ignore.

Good luck. I hope if you do that you end up at some conclusion that helps you. And yes, I know you will claim that this means I have nothing to show you. I guess you’ll have to decide if that means you’re unwilling to try.

I think, if you’re serious, you may wish to consider challenging what you believe in. You won’t get a rise out of me, so don’t bother. I just wish to push you to try.

Cheers, friend. Hope you do. :)

Lots of talk in this thread. I stood during the pandemic against anti-vaccs and no-masks and intend to again. I’ve heard a lot of excuses, mostly surrounding a need to work and pay bills and how they cannot jeopardize that.

I wonder if there will be excuses this time.
