Obviously the man is better than the bear - all he wants from the woman in the woods is for her to live a life of servitude to him as his psuedo mommy, wife, child producer and lover, because he has epic Viking battles he has to deal with…. of taking the trash to the curb, and waiting in traffic to get to work, because therapy is too expensive, or feminine?
Lmao
People already are / have been dying. Abortion care deaths / trans and general population - suicide rate upticks / ICE detention center deaths (52 people last Trump term) with people being grabbed on valid visas now / 1 death already of a Ukrainian last month in a detention center - custody (44 year old) Maksym Chernyak was a stroke / seizure but when you understand the conditions 24/7 light - terrible food and sleep conditions makes sense.
Medicaid cuts that made it through will lead to deaths. Due to gaps in care.
Abortion stances will only get worse from here in states and at the federal level for access to medical care on still borns, and general birthing process will be worse.
NOAA cuts will lead to deaths due to alert notification systems of major storms and tornados. (March has already been particularly deadly)
ICE interactions and warrant laws being modified for them will lead to more deaths if they ever get reported.
Food bank funding and other supports have been cut so we will likely see an increase in malnourishment diseases and deaths
VA benefits and mental health support services are actively being cut. So expect more suicide and homelessness from our veterans.
Social security cuts will kill seniors - access to care / meals / warmth - home health aids. These will be seen as increases in fall related, medication mistakes, transfer issues, hospital stay illness upticks, complex wound healing (wounds in the elderly require nutrition to heal if poor they won’t heal and tunnel so sepsis deaths) and other related deaths.
All of these things won’t be clear TRUMP DID IT. But as those statlines tick up. And the average life expectancy and health outcomes of our citizens get worse by the year. It will be because of these cuts. People don’t realize that the death toll is already counting - it’s just that there’s no clear cut bucket to put them in.
Can’t get a general strike to work when the majority of utility workers are magats. The algos target the blue collar industry for this very reason. Look at what the conservative / fascist media arms of your own country are targeting very specifically. Its core services for corporate enablement.
Transportation, construction, farming, police force all fine if we try a general strike tomorrow. Most upper middle class also are magats. So bank services, middle management, accounting and financial CIO / CEO teams all also are not participating.
General strike happens tomorrow and protesters in the streets will be arrested - people who are Dems or anti fascist will lose their jobs and houses.
We are in a no win game.
Oof. Yeah couple guys I know like that. Nothing, conveniently, is ever their fault either. Lmao.
Okay so because the beliefs were contradictory. Yeah a lot of the Bernie bros went to X and sort of melted their brains.
But I will say it’s tough to have good choices anymore.
I value people over everything and want a future that has more freedoms not less.
But like I purchased a pair of pants the other day that can be traced to Chinese camps. And my phone was built by kids. So fuck me I guess.
I am outspoken of my beliefs to do right by people. So have to contend with every instance of hypocrisy I also exist within. No good choices when the world is built on blood and genocide lol.
Am not disagreeing with you - and think Tesla avoidance is a proper thing right now. The totals of grievances have hit a threshold for sure.
Especially if socially conscious. Or preaching those beliefs. And buying anything for status is already an interesting stance. Hope you find some better friends. I’m on the hunt for them myself hahaha. Tough these days.
Are they a shit bag for preaching philosophy? Or for buying a Tesla? Or are they just a shit bag and do those things.
Not sure I would think anyone a shit bag for political leanings if mis informed unless those leanings are dangerous to others.
Not sure I would think anyone a shit bag for buying a car
Not sure I would be friends with an idiot shit bag - If irregardless of car or leanings they are just shitty.
Oh yeah didn’t see the double pinky nub must be all that Mosquito spray they did.

Yeah and I wasn’t sure what it mean on account creation to commit to a server fully. I ended up getting a lot of supportive comments when I did ask.
Out in pennsyltucky?
My wife doesn’t love multi day backpacking. But she loves the glimpse of how I am and how we are - during that time.
Our priorities - Stay warm, stay dry, fetch and purify water, hike the right distances to get out with food in hand, packing and unpacking our gear, avoid dangerous wildlife, cook, sleep.
When every day that’s your goal state it’s super simple - stress is actually just a response to things that might kill you again. And not 20 steps away from it. “I might perform poorly, my clothes might not be appropriate for the job, I’m running 3 minutes behind - which may cost me my job, which could be long term, and financially we won’t recover, and then we might lose the house or starve”. Up against “I need water and dry clothes”.
I think everyone would benefit from a tool box / wellness discovery session that individual research or time spent with a therapist can offer. Essentially build out a mental health “first aid kit” for yourself in times of emergency. Many don’t - and so their first serious crisis (especially with men) ends violently.
Even if there’s 0 wrong in your life - knowing what things make you well and how to leverage them when you eventually lose someone you care about or have to cope with severe and debilitating grief is important.
Saying you don’t need to buy a med kit unless you have a severed artery sort of means you will be behind the coping and recovery process. This can be accomplished in 1 or 2 sessions with support or individual research.
Just my counter point as someone who did psych screening services - coached people with 0 psych / mental health issues prior out of self harm scenarios and got them in my car or an ambo to go to the hospital. But also never went to or believed in therapy for myself (and had my first session a decade after that job at the age of 35). I should have gone earlier. But I was fine and successful without it. Married / promoted / succeeding in life - So didn’t.
