Take another shower. Taxes aren't used to fix inequality. They're used to fund infrastructure and services that we all need. They're also used sometimes to redistribute income, but the idea isn't to solve inequality. The idea is to get some income, in one form or another, to people who cannot or should not work, like the sick, children, the elderly, and anyone else excluded from the workforce. This non-working population needs income as much as the working population does and it doesn't make sense to force them to get it in inefficient and harmful ways. Taxation to solve inequality is a myth that isn't happening.

We should always be suspicious when someone starts both-sides'ing Nazis and Communists. Only one side was killing Nazis, after all.

Is this something you really want to "both sides"? Only one side kills Nazis.

How do you subscribe or follow a lemmy community from Mastodon?

If nothing else, it would be funny if instead of either of us taking her out we were both like "sorry, babe, we're busy playing video games."

It's occurred to me that if my wife ever cheated on me, maybe instead of getting upset I could just make friends with her boyfriend. We'd already have it in common that we like having sex with my wife so maybe we'd have other stuff in common, too.

I don't belong to lemmy.ml, but I'll chime in anyway. I'm somewhere between a communist and an anarchist, which I think aligns well with my material interests as a worker. The communist in me believes that we need a dictatorship of the proletariat in order to subdue the bourgeoisie. The anarchist in me believes that workers need to organize themselves into strong labor unions to help the revolution along and then keep the subsequent worker state in check thereafter.

I don't know about the trans stuff, but Blåhaj has this neat little feature: https://twitter.com/FatherMcGruder/status/1429470778412699652?t=BcBVKBA4DIPtVIif__2c5w&s=19

I haven't seen any comments suggesting a plug, so I guess it'll be me. Try using a butt plug.

Is it really leather, though?

All is well, apparently.

I can see your reply just fine, and I think I found my answer here:

Q. Why has the mother stopped sitting on the nest at night?

A. By the time the babies are about a week old, the nest is getting crowded, and the babies are capable of keeping themselves warm, all snuggled together. At this point the mother robin starts sleeping on a tree branch again.

Like I said, the chicks are about nine days old, so the mother's behavior appears to be normal. That's a relief!
