Yup. I’ve had to stop using ebay because even when you check out with your own card, it goes via paypal, and they have misused my data too many times for me to keep putting any trust in them.

It sucks, because a lot of mutual aid is done over paypal too, but I’m really struggling to justify leaving my account open (and I’m not even in the US where op applies).

Came here to make a similar comment having had a similar experience.

Judging how “easy” someone might have it based solely on age is a ridiculous thing to do.

Mental illness and or abusive parents or siblings (E: or as someone else mentioned: grief) don’t suddenly stop existing when you’re on holiday, if anything, being away from your own safe space and comfort zone, and in a strange place you don’t know surrounded by people you might not even be able to speak to, never mind ask for help, and your abusers potentially feeling more free than they would at home, can make everything significantly worse.

There’s plenty of shit to criticise in the world we live in, emo kids reaaaaly shouldn’t be one of them.

Technically, might be both

Spook, noun

3. slang (originally and chiefly U.S.). A derogatory term for a black person.

OED

is a billionaire and as far as I know awesome.

Then you don’t know.

No one gets to be a billionaire without being an exploitative greedy piece of shit at best. No one.

Having a favourite flavour of leather doesn’t make it any less self harming and counterproductive to lick.

Everything’s impossible when you don’t give a shit keep it that way for profit

name an american billionaire thats not a pos.

FTFY

What the actual fuck is wrong with the people we give power to.

Change that to “why the fuck do we have to keep picking others to have power over our own lives?” and you might start getting somewhere.

Power corrupts.

Capitalism and its electoral politics (the extra steps it has taken from feudalism, that is nothing more than theatre to appease the masses) has always existed to concentrate, and then maintain, power in the hands of a few. Once someone has such power they will never give it up willingly.

As long as there is hierarchy, there will be inequality. Which is why our system enforces hierarchy so avidly.

Letting oil barons, war mongers, and other billionaire scum off some really big hooks with that “entirely” part…

Not blaming anyone, just don’t want to watch content with ads, so I won’t…

I’ve never used Plex before, that’s a huge turn off. Though tbf I’ve still not watched the episodes I already have, so I’m in no rush to put myself through that annoyance lol

It’s good to know they’re there though, for now anyway, and that at least someone has them and is making them available.

I’ll give it a look, thanks! Though I was really looking forward to having the entire collection safe on my own machine. :/

So I was going to say thanks for the reminder to go check if more episodes of the Drew Carey Show had been uploaded to archive.org since the last time I checked, only to find that those that were already on there (first 2 or 3 seasons I think?) are now all gone (apart from the Improv-A-Ganza episodes, which I will be downloading before they disappear too). Nowhere is safe.

But Twitter is a real fuckup for him

Except it clearly fucking isn’t, it’s doing exactly what he bought it for, including convincing people like you to feel sympathy for him and his “loss”, which is equal parts hilarious and really fucking sad. You’re looking at his life from the point of view of a poor person, something he never was and never will be, yet he’s still so easily manipulated you in to feeling bad for him (and the billions he’s lost, leaving him… still the motherfucking richest person on the planet), and even fucking (think you) relate to him and the idea that he can “fail” just like you can, using you as a living breathing mouthpiece to make his life easier. Not yours.

perfect boy genius mystique

I just threw up a little in my mouth, thanks.

Thanks, that’s one race I definitely don’t keep up to date on. All billionaires need to cease to exist.

Pretending something that was never stateless, classless, and moneyless but rather quite the fucking opposite (E: and was never going to end up there, either) was communism, shows you need to hit the books on how communism is actually intended to function.

And yet, he’s still one of the what, 5 richest people on the planet?

He doesn’t give a shit, and neither should you (as nice as the schadenfreude might feel). He got something worth more to him than plain old money - an established propaganda platform, which he is using as he intended - to war monger and otherwise interfere in politics to ensure fascism progresses as fast as he can help it. The “dent” (more like a surface scratch) it put in his finances is completely invisible and irrelevant to him.

And it should be to you, too.

He is NEVER going to end up without means or power, not even fucking close, unless we take them from him, and abolish the system that encouraged and enabled him to amass them in the first place.

One exception to it : fascists capitalists managed to convince people who can only lose stuff to a war that it’s good for them too.

Fascism is capitalism in decay, there is no exception.

Lol, you mean the state capitalists? You’re not making the (weak, “whatabout”) point you think you are, but hey, your confidence in your wilful ignorance in defence of those exploiting you for profit* is almost impressive! (but not really) 🙄😂

*E: and guess what, I don’t even need to know where you live to say this, because every working class person on the planet is currently being exploited for profit through both labour and war, but don’t let that get in the way of the bootlicking you’ve come here to do in self-destructive defence of your beloved capitalism (I threw up in my mouth a little)…

When my cat was a baby she got tangled by the neck in a blinds cord, thankfully I was right there, but it scared the shit out of me. I rent, and still (and everywhere else I’ve lived) have corded blinds, but the cords are now rolled up and tied to the top so they’re out of the way. This kind of regulation is a good thing.

Lmfao, sorry (not sorry), I should have included feudalists too I guess, to avoid bootlicking pedants… 🙄

The point stands - war is waged for profit by profiteers, not by random civilians trying to live their lives, always was, always will be.
