I might be wrong but I don’t think lemmy.ml is a Marxist Leninist instance. You might be thinking of lemmygrad.ml which is. I’m not sure why lemmy.ml uses that top level domain.

When I broke my collarbone in Amerika, I asked my friends to drive me to the urgent care (lmao can’t afford to go to a hospital) instead of taking an ambulance. Even an Uber would have been like $50 from where I was

I fucking hate this bazinga brained “throw precaution (and/or regulations) to the wind” bullshit. I know that’s like the SV MO but it makes me really just want to go out and do something really cool.
