Are libs really this naive?

“Oh no, look at all these horrible but extremely popular things the GOP wants to do! You wouldn’t actually want to vote for exactly what you have been asking for, would you, American people?”

This capitalist is alright.

Whatever shit’s been preserved in the permafrost that’s bound to come back.

“But you see, capitalists take on a risk…”

Stalin come back.

I’m checked out of voting, I live in Texas. Nothing but card-carrying neo-nazis in this shithole. Shame too, because I’d love to live in Austin if I could afford to.

Maybe I’ll just vote PSL or something.

Because capitalism punishes success, that’s why. Many people have learned that work isn’t school. There’s no A+s for a job well done, it’s “can you come in today?” on a weekend.

Hey, the US actually expanded its forests. Go us!

Deodorant: Anything aluminum-free

Liquid soap: Dove. The important part is that it is antibacterial, sulfate-free, and unscented.

Also, if you shampoo/condition every day: stop. You’re better off getting some bougier hair care and not adding product as often.

Pecan pie. I may like to dunk on my state, but they’re spot on when it comes to pecan pie. However, I like to use maple syrup instead of corn syrup because I hate the antichrist .

You mean a country has a problem and they just…fix it? Unheard of in the west.

I’m still a babby programmer and I still haven’t graduated from “hello world” tier for most things, but I pretty got permission from this web development professor I was taking a class under that it’s almost normal to copy/paste code, even in the industry. So I feel less ashamed in doing so.

Which is good because I have made up my mind to finish my long abandoned CS degree, and eventually get a master’s in biotech specifically if I don’t find any other subgroup of coding I particularly like. Even if I don’t like my working life, I want to solve problems, dammit.

No particular order:

• Being a furry/furry sympathetic.
• A science major of any kind. IMO the S needs more love in STEM.
• Ever overhear them say “walkable” in a positive light.
• Hobbies besides media consumption
• Not “too cool” to learn something. Likes learning for fun.
• Not to concerned with looking cool or badass, either. Look at CHUDs, I made a joke the other day that I can sense a decent bit of residual 90’s 'tude in modern CHUDDery, and I think I’m onto something.

The Anglosphere The French left.

Republican

This should have just been the expectation.

Holy crap, Lois. Where do I even begin?

• Microsoft on my desktop. Want to try out Linux but even boomers would make fun of my tech skills. That, and more games are on Windows.

• Cars. Born in bumfuck nowhere, and cities with public transit are expensive as hell. If I ever get a better paying job, I’m selling that shit and moving anyways, because cars are also a huge money sink in and of themselves.

• Google. I’ll give them props, it’s a good search engine even in its enshittified form, some of the ads I can deal with because if I am looking for a new t-shirt or something, then it would make perfect sense a Uniqlo ad would pop up. But its privacy that’s the problem, and I try to be as “normal” as possible in this KiwiFarmsified hellscape. In the panopticon, the winning strategy is to not be interesting.

• My iphone (inb4 avocado toast Venezuela). It would be silly to trash this thing now by principle, but once when its unusable, I’m going for a Linux Pinephone.

• YouTube. It’s a Monopoly and my broke ass doesn’t want to subscribe to curiosity stream. It’s like Texas though, while it’s mostly derivative cringe, there’s small pockets of gold that keep me there.

• Linkedin. Pretentious garbage

• Suburban life. Again, I am not a suburbanite by choice, decent paying jobs are tight and it’s even harder to find an apartment in a state I know I probably won’t be killed in AND I can afford.

TL;DR: I REALLY need to start learning 2 tech so I can navigate tech alternatives. Oh, and I need to get my shit together in life so I can afford to live in a blue city.

Not niche per se, but I do watch BritMonkey and CPG-grey. Both are s, but it’s nice to hear a voice of someone who disagrees with leftism but doesn’t smugly dismiss it all, and actually have someone interesting content. Britmonkey in particular, I recommend enter the pleasure cube and The housing crisis is the everything crisis. The latter even inspired me to take up housing as my “pet” issue to rant about.
