Felt this. I haven't really ever felt proud of America. It was weird growing up with immigrant parents, proud of their new homeland, just for me to learn of all its atrocities across the world and be like: "y'all moved here for this? They murdered and raped your birth country!" I really want to be more optimistic and hopeful, it's just so hard with everything going on and how overt the racists are these days.
Living the dream friend. I want that sense of community so bad. All my life I've lived isolated from others and it fucking sucks. My dad would always scold me: "go outside and play, get off the computer, blah blah blah" but like with whom? Glad your kids get to be kids. Cheers
Not really supporting either business by buying a used laptop tho?
Oh hey, American police
Human productivity has exponentially increased since the beginning of the industrial revolution. We produce far more food and clothing than can be consumed and there are more than enough homes for people to live in. Generic medicine can often be produced for pennies.
There is no reason that we as a society cannot guarantee at least a basic standard of living consisting of sustenance, a safe place to rest and relax, treatment for common ailments, etc.
A hostel company I stayed with a while back emailed me with the subject: "Your booking is confirmed!". This made me frantically check all my accounts since I hadn't booked any hostels recently. I was super concerned until I opened the email and saw... it was a stupid marketing email...
This kind of marketing should be illegal. Don't use Clink Hostels.
Would be so funny if it wasn't real.
Why are they even doing this? Because pain and suffering is the intention? To throw off search results for Russian meat grinder articles and discussions? What a world we live in.
