Only got one single trick or treater. I guess I get to eat a bunch of candy now, but it's sad. When I was a kid and trick or treating, I remember the streets like swarming with kids. And I see more kids playing or riding bikes around my neighborhood on any normal day than I saw on Halloween.

What happened? Are kids not allowed to have fun anymore?

No current struggle session discussion here on the new general megathread, i will ban you from the comm and remove your comment, have a good day/night :meow-coffee:

I kind of feel like one of the most radicalizing bits in Capital 1 has for me been the understanding that we give the capitalists constant no interest loan by selling them our labor without getting paid until later.

The whole thing about company stores, fake bread and looking at it all now when people live on credit cards month to month, paying huge student loans and mortages. And it's just like LET'S GO REVOLUTION!

I also feel like if more libs would understand this, it might open their eyes a bit. It's a system built to scam you, from top to bottom.

Realizing that 7DeadlyFetishes getting banned for doing clean SS myth was literally 4 years ago and feeling myself turn to dust and crumble away.

the world is falling apart but at least i get to post on a website that has denguin

They’ve been too afraid to crack down on Etsy witches.

Why didnt andrew cuomo bring up that Hasan always says "gaming after" his news coverage, but then he never actually plays video games? That would have won him the debate

Halloween fucking rules. No other time of year can you see Jesus, Slim Shady and Gandalf fuck eachother up in the mosh pit to Ministry

Why does the site keep briefly turning chinese on me? Like all the autogenerated text like how long a post ago it's been since a post was made will just randomly turn Chinese and then flash back.

There are two people in my life with ai psychosis. I don't know alot of people so this feels like alot

Alright which one of you dastardly bears performed the ritual on all hallows eve to bring me back from the dead?? As soon as I find my knife it's over for ye

Real talk though I've missed poasting here. Had a rough couple of years where I withdrew from everything before hitting a solid upward trajectory last spring. Doing much better since then but there's been one particularly massive hexagon-shaped hole in my heart that needs to be filled

eternal love to all my comrades

Someone in a Teams meeting just said “It’s the old chicken and the egg question isn’t it? Why did they cross the road?” then realised what they’d said and turned their camera off.

there are people whose entire careers were built off writing wholly unresearched and totally spurious blogs in the early 2000s and now they're some of the biggest names in political writing and at no point did they ever learn a single thing.

Get ready to learn Chinese

Is Zohran gonna be another AOC? Maybe. But it's just nice to see that so many people clearly want left-wing policies and not everyone is a bootlicking chud.

At a church group this morning, someone asked if food assistance programs were doing the right thing or not because they stave off the consequences.

I thought they meant like “if we feed hungry people, then the gov’t won’t be forced to provide/reinstate food stamps.”

Ghoulish enough, but it was worse.

They clarified that people would not understand the consequence of voting for Trump unless they go hungry.

Out of about 10 people, 2 people seemed to admit thinking this way. There was pushback.

On the good side, the church is legitimately service oriented, and donated 200 meals today.

Had maybe 40-50 trick or treaters, which isn't too bad cuz it rained all night. Got told we had the best candy in the neighborhood and a "baller spread" of candy. Felt good to keep the tradition of being nice to your neighbors alive

christians with their "taking the lord's name in vain" if you say god 🙄 saying "the lord" is semantically equivalent, god isn't his name ya ding dongs

A kangaroo managed to find its way into my backyard this afternoon. Its joey was on the other side of the fence and i was worried they were getting distressed. I managed to help it find its way out through a gate and they seemed very grateful.

Listened to some of the Norm Finkelstein/Candace Owens interview at the gym. Telling someone with an antisemitic, conspiracy-brained audience about a "Jewish supremacist billionaire class" surely is a choice.

I get what he means and he isn't wrong, you just really shouldn't phrase it like that when your current audience is a bunch of chuds who believe in a Jewish cabal extracting adrenochrome from babies or some dumb shit.

By the way, nice trucks. You think I could hop into one of them and drive it away? I'd love to do it. Just drive the hell outta here. Just get the hell out of this. I had such a good life. My life was great.

I am now BSIS certified to literally get paid to stand around

I like guard work because 90% of the time it's extremely work that gives me plenty of time to worldbuild in my head

If Cuomo loses it's because he didn't bring up Hasan Piker's dog collar

Philosophy is hard I hate it my sense organs are TIRED I WANT TO STOP SENSING THINGS I DO NOT WANT TO PERCEIVE I DO NOT WANT TO TURN MY PERCEPTUAL KNOWLEDGE INTO LOGICAL KNOWLEDGE MAO PLS STOP

It's official, I "did my thing" with the vegan teriyaki chicken wraps i made. Source: a college football player

Recently had a family get-together and was mildly horrified to discover that nearly all my older relatives are having their minds melted by constant exposure to slop through their various social media algorithms.

I watched some of them sit for hours, delighted at the constant stream of frankly revolting and upsetting images and videos.

I thought it was bad before, when one of these get together meant the TVs were always blaring either a 24 hour news network or else reruns of old sitcoms, but this time the TVs weren’t even switched on. The situation seems dire.

I have to stop myself from becoming the millennial version of a boomer. "You ain't got no rejection sensitive dysphoria you just have anxiety and it's causing you to spiral."

Well, tomorrow is election day in New York and New Jersey. My coworkers are complaining about how unfairly Zorhan Mamdani is going to treat the landlords. This irredeemable nation must perish.

About to write a crank essay titled "Are quality inspectors cops?"

Apparently, there are white people going into to grocery stores, loading up carts, and telling the cashiers they don't have to pay because of something Trump said? Idk I just a clip of a chud lady very upset about being accosted for shoplifting.

Edit: ah, it was AI-generated

...why do we have so many megas?

“Yeah, I’m fiscally conservative and socially liberal!”

“I support the socially liberal policy of universal healthcare, a policy that if implemented correctly would save costs and make sure it’s not bogged down by means testing, making it fiscally conservative!”

Check out my (very much a working in progress) game

a second obama phone call has struck the NYC mayoral race

An upside of social isolation is that you're never close enough to other people to catch the flu. I say this because I went to the movies recently and now Im sick.
