All day Iโ€™ve been taking collateral psychic damage as people whack AI users:

- Who uses that long dash?
- Nobody uses endeavour in regular conversation.
- โ€œCombatting overwhelmโ€ isnโ€™t how you use that word, is it?
- Who writes/speaks this formally?

Me, as one such person:

Yall real silent about disability injustices because most of you donโ€™t see disability as a thing that can happen to you.

We are โ€œaww those poor peopleโ€. Meanwhile disability can happen to anyone at any moment and those injustices you ignored? They become your experiences too

If ever you find yourself speaking to the experiences of a marginalized group youโ€™re not a part of โœจbecauseโœจ youโ€™ve heard people from said group talking, try shutting up instead.

Chances are good that none of you have the range

There are rumblings that the profs at my uni may be going on strike, which could fuck all my shit up since Iโ€™m set to graduate.

For the love of GOD just meet the reasonable asks of your workers. Iโ€™m tired of this shit

I appreciate that people are picking up after their pets, truly I do. At the same time though, could yโ€™all maybe hold the bags of shit in the outside hand?

Swinging that bio-weapon in the path of other pedestrians should be a fine-able offence

Iโ€™ll defer to your expertise on that. But as a hater, I deeply appreciate him detailing everything he hates about that man and identifying all of his shortcomings in his career only to follow that up with individualized letters to his family that elaborate on what a waste of space he is. Justโ€”

Lmao, fair connection. Though I was more going along the lines of the space race being connected to the Cold War and the fight for the dominance of capitalism, which in turn screwed over healthcare ๐Ÿ˜…

Since doing the inadvisable months ago (cracking my knuckles) I did some damage to one of my fingers and it still hurts.

The doctor, repeatedly: well itโ€™s not broken so you just have to wait it out. We can put a man on the moon but healing one fingie is too much to ask?! Once again, fuck capitalism

True. This wasnโ€™t to suggest an either or situation, especially not in terms of whipping up his base (and vengeful dems). I was more questioning the coverage Iโ€™ve seen so far, which goes as far as mass deportations = decimating the economy and self-proclaimed dems gleefully posting about โ€œFAFOโ€

I suppose when you canโ€™t bait someone into a protracted squabble based in disinformation and bigotry the next step is to throw a tantrum and try to bait them into a โœจdifferentโœจ bigoted squabble

Could Trumpโ€™s mass deportation and denaturalization of Americans and Native Peoples be a pretence for a pipeline to incarceration and forced labour?

While heโ€™s a dangerous combination of bigoted and ignorant, it seems unlikely that his advisors have no plan for the decimation of the labour force

3. It reads very much like a hit dog hollering and/or an attempt at trolling. I specified conflating correlation with causation. If youโ€™re not conflating them, why are you responding in this manner?

Either way, I wonโ€™t be engaging with you on this further unless you decide to argue in good faith

1. Stats Canada reported a 20.6% immigrant population in 2011 alone.

2. Housing and healthcare are (primarily) the purview of provincial govs. They canโ€™t keep up because premiers like Ford are speed running neoliberalism:
- Reduced gov. spending
- Privatization
- Deregulation

I hate them on all fronts. On the car side: the gigantic screen is a ridiculous distraction, the door handles are needlessly fidgety (especially in the winter), and by golly do you feel every bump in the road

Every time someone posts to social media dragging Trudeau for what is in actuality a provincial failing (because โ€œit all happened after Trudeau got in officeโ€) they should be made to go through correlation =\= causation training with a mandatory essay at the end #cdnpoli

Billionaires Should Not Exist Yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.
