Lmao consider me pre-seed then, where’s my money lmao.

Wtf is a “pre-seed founder”?

I’m stalwart enough in my leftism that anything that corpos love makes me question it immediately. I’ve nothing inherent against immigrants/refugees who come here through the (very flawed) process or even those who don’t but come here, integrate, and then contribute/participate positively within the communities they immigrate to.

However, the H1B shit just seems to a) exploit minorities/immigrants while holding their visa over their head (dems shouldn’t like this based on their principles) while b) outsources jobs that could likely be given to existing, qualified citizens (republicans shouldn’t this based on their principles), c) all to ultimately benefit a corporation’s quarterly earnings.

I dislike Trump as much as the next guy but I don’t currently have an issue with him obliterating the H1B program.

Also a left-winger who has adopted some prepping mentality and created a “go-bag.”

In my opinion, “proper” prepping is/should be more about educating oneself, i.e. basic survival skills, navigational skills, how to find food and drinkable water, and if possible how to grow your own food and build a shelter — in essence boy scout stuff.

Once you know about the basics of survival, acquiring some essential tools (think axe, water purification tablets, and fire starter), and creating a rendezvous point with your loved ones is all that’s left.

The, usually right-winger, “preppers” are in reality just apocalypse fetishists. They buy MREs in bulk, create basements to bug-out in, and buy a stockpile of guns as if the concept of “community” will no longer exist in collapse scenario. They alienate everyone around them and focus entirely on the survival of their nuclear family with the insane belief that they could survive in a bunker under their home until chaos blows over.

Can corroborate lmao. They’ve saved me so much time that I usually spent correcting misinfo, but I guess that’s what they want on their platform. Anyways Lemmy’s been an okay replacement.
