nice catch, i hate typing on phones

this is the first line of Lamb of God’s Reclamation and boy does that song get more relevant every year

it was an IT job that typically requires it but the position i got slotted in didn’t. it’s just antiquated hiring managers thinking that people without a car can’t be trusted to show up for a shift

unfortunately they actually wanted to see it so I waited till I saw it enough and then started taking the bus eventually I sold the car but only after I was sure they wouldn’t be looking for it

i lived in my city for 7 years taking the bus and i eventually had to get a car because a few jobs wouldn’t hire me because i didn’t have “appropriate transportation”

anyway fast forward to being at the job for a while, the parking lot stretches on so long that it’s a 10 minute walk to the office from where i usually park, them i figured it i can take the bus to the building door in 15 minutes

so moral of the story is i bought a car to get the job and continued taking the bus

here it fucking comes, if you thought it was enshitified you haven’t seen anything yet!

suck my dick jackie boy

the overlap may surprise you

You can label me with whatever epithet you want, but the reality is that voting Democrat was the correct choice to minimize damage. Is that where it ends? No. Should the Democrats be raked over the coals for their current and past inaction? Absolutely.

The reality is, if anyone who is upset with the Democrats truly wanted change, they would understand that change is slow. “Teaching the party a lesson” has historically only resulted in a shift to the right. Direct action is the only thing that works. But while that effort continues, I’d certainly prefer if the checks and balances of the government weren’t being actively weakened and exploited.

it sure is and yeah i was being exagatory for effect but if you’re just going to pretend there isn’t some very real damage being done that could have been prevented then the .ml brainrot is real

if a third party was possible under current electoral governance the green party would absolutely not be better

I mean didn’t Trump also promise that and not deliver

What I constantly hear is deflections about how voting doesn’t matter, but it fucking does, yes the Democrats suck but they are better, it’s not even close.

Fight back and do everything you can to change what’s going on and blame Democrats but don’t sell out an entire election cycle to literal Satan to make that point

all that does is irreversible damage

I hate to break it to you but I’ve definitely heard that on Lemmy a few times

well I hope that if you come out of this you come out with a better electoral system I’ll say that

time to deliver a pizza ball!

oh yeah it’s very true but I mean the US Russia and China are definitely on the wrong side of history now
