as a queer brown man; i don’t want to be anywhere at all.
why 1949 and where?
fwiw: gay nightlife in san francisco was at its zenith in the 50’s & 60’s .
the san francisco we have today is a tiny dim more conservative ember of what it was back then.
Living in Texas had taught me that, if Texas wants it, it is therefore bad.
when it gets stuck on something like that, it’s because of a hardware related change; did you update or modify your bios recently or change hardware drivers?
What’s the difference between a fascist and an “anarchist” who does everything they can to kneecap the only viable left leaning political party in the US?
what’s the difference between a cuckold and someone who votes for racist, homophobic, classicist establishment politicians no matter what; there is no difference.
i’ve lost track of the number of times this has happened to me since joining the fediverse and part of me wishes i had stayed on reddit to remain ignorant of the of ignorant liberal masses.
the “no politics” crowd is speaking from a place of intense privilege and i know this because politics and fucked my life and seeing people support politicians who are responsible for those politics is maddening.
look at the responses in other fediverse instances; the no piracy, no politics, no fun crowd is the majority
As Moscow increases military spending and Western sanctions weigh on its energy exports, the currency dropped below the psychologically important level of 100 to the US dollar.
there are many currencies that go well below 100 per dollar; i wonder why this is a marker of any kind.
you can not blame them all you want, it’s still true; i speak from experience when i say this: gays are the most-clueless of all the minorities.
“There are many Middle East countries who do not tolerate homosexuals, they actually hang and execute homosexuals,” she said, according to Reuters news agency.
“In the US many states have passed laws that are either against or restrict activities of homosexuality… so why pick on Uganda?”
because they have more money than you.
If I’m going to spend all this money on living expenses I may as well do that somewhere better.
i did something similar between austin, texas and chicago, illinois. now my new place is 2x the size; w lots of amenities; costs less than texas; but most importantly, my new home isn’t descending into a conservative fascist hell hole while everyone just sits around and watches it happen while simultaneously ignoring the clear reasons why and how to help it. lol
Tell me you’re a white middle- or upper-class male without telling me…
also straight and clueless. lol
i had the same thought: NPR did a story on alaskan pipelayers & plumbers that were starting to experience the effects of climate change on the soil about 15-is years ago and then revisited them again about 5-ish years ago. in the first set of interviews from 15 years ago, a big majority refused to attribute the issues that they were experiencing to climate change and in the second set 5 years ago, they nearly unanimously refused to attribute the issues to climate change.
climate change is now politics and any and all politics will be denied if you want it bad enough
this why i’m skeptical of reports that people will stop voting republican in the united states. primarily because it’s been said before but also because climate change makes like harder and history has proven that whenever life gets tough; people become more xenophobic/racist/etc.
since making the fediverse my new home; i learned that i spend an hour (maybe 2 max) before i run out of content and i can spend 4+ hours without noticing while scrolling reddit even though i no longer have an account there and can’t participate in any conversations anymore.
make your billions by buying lots of small, but super profitable investments.
