I don’t lie to anyone except my employer. They are not owed any explanation or insight into my personal life, and personally I feel that that is the only acceptable instance for me to lie at this point in my life.

Circumstances change, but I generally try and lie as little as possible.

And if you own a house that is being flooded, just sell the flooded house and move you fucking idiot.

Is everything a fucking dog?

In the US we take like four to six years of Spanish and walk away with “donde estas la biblioteca” and “donde esta el baño.”

Sleepy Joe fails again!

Ah yes, the great American Bengal tiger. Our symbol of obedience and power. A cultural cornerstone you might say.

Capitalism necessitates that the product and the profit are always the most important thing. We’ll never really get rid of this issue until we remove the profit motive, and we’ll never really see the full view of capitalism without accepting that these corporations don’t care about their workers or their customer base at all.

Law enforcement should truly be built around the idea of protecting and serving the greater public, but at this time it’s really just legalized violence controlled by the rich, like a hit squad.

I’ll look into it, thanks!

My favorite was Linux, but I got really into producing music and fl studio and all of my vsts don’t run in Linux afaik. I’m just not willing to throw away the money I’ve spent and try and find open source alternatives

You read a comment from a person criticizing the current government for being self motivated and taking bribes under a story about climate change and how we’re all fucked and you thought this was a centrist comment?

Politicians love their bribes more than they love the planet, so that’s probably not going to happen. Dems and cons both
