I already decided to compromise when I decided I had to vote for Biden because I will vote for a bag of rancid meatloaf to keep Trump from becoming President again. Biden's mental state is irrelevant; I already thought he was a bag of rancid meatloaf; I'm voting for the democratic apparatus.

Anyhow the best time to address the shit was yesterday, the 2nd best time is today. Demand everyone asking for your vote to support packing the court, stop giving your resources to the police, demand public housing, healthcare, childcare, education, transit, food support and a right to privacy.

you're striking out at someone else because of your own self-loathing. you're cruel to her because you hate yourself. that's being sad out loud in a way that children are sad out loud. you can't get help here -- this is not a place where people can help you not feel this way.

really seems like you're arguing with someone who has profound depression and is able to rationalize anything into a worst-case framework where nothing ever gets better and there is no reason to push or hope, where every bad thing is an indication of inherent badness. you're arguing with an illness.

joe biden could throw me personally in prison for being a fuckin weirdo and i would still vote for him because i was raised by fascists and i know what they want and i would rather do anything, anything, anything than live through their dreams for humanity. that's it. that's all there is for me.

"Look, the Wall Street Journal lists all these companies that did poorly after they initiated diversity initiatives."
Huh, looks like most of them were also acquired by private equity groups in leveraged buyouts, and then conducted stock buybacks.

yeah, it definitely should not be anyone's goal weight at 5'10" -- my goal weight is 150, I just can't ever get it there without force-eating a diet extremely high in fat and sugar.

Thanks. I'm not trying to extract shame from you, just trying to raise awareness of how this kind of discourse can be unkind -- the other comments here are illustrative. This is just the shape I am. I love being tall, but being very thin comes with a lot of social punishment I did nothing to earn.
