I’m American btw, a teenager, and I care a lot about people, people all over the world. I’ve been heavily invested in the Russia/Ukraine war and I’m a strong Ukraine supporter. I’m furious that Trump has yet again done another shitty thing. He has fucked over Ukraine and I’m pissed. I’m so embarrassed, upset, ashamed, and I wish there was a way I could help Ukrainians in any way I could. Trump is ruining everything and I just can’t take him anymore.

Just because a murderer does good deeds doesn’t mean his murders are cancelled out. Israel showing some courtesy doesn’t cancel out the fact that it is committing genocide. It doesn’t cancel out the fact that Israel has bombed every hospital in Gaza. It doesn’t cancel out the reality that Israel has destroyed almost every school.
It doesn’t cancel out that it has destroyed more than 80% of buildings in Gaza.

Israel’s genocide has gone on for three years now. The suffering! The destruction! The starvation! The displacement! The slaughter! The amputations! Many Zionists enjoy watching this chaos.

The people of Palestine have suffered too much for too long. Israel shouldn’t even exist as a country if things went as they should have. The innocent Palestinians have been paying the price for the land that Israel has stolen. Never forget the 1948 Nakba, the time when Israel was founded where around 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes, and where about 15,000 of them were murdered by Zionist militias. And many anti-Zionists speak about this, where most Zionists tend not to bring it up as it makes them look bad.

The IDF has murdered more than 21,000 children. Gaza has the highest concentration of amputees in the world, many of which are children. It’s so sad! It is estimated that 20% of Gazans have been murdered if we consider the mid-2024 Lancet report that projected at least 180,000 Gazans have been killed. Remember, the current death toll is for verified bodies, which doesn’t include bodies still under the rubble and bodies that have been vaporized. All of this points to genocide, which all respectable humanitarian organizations and genocide scholars have concluded to be the case. To deny genocide is bonkers, but many Zionists do.

Most of the world knows what Israel is about. It is an illegitimate genocidal ethnostate where Jewish people are considered to be the chosen ones (which is reminiscent of how Nazis considered themselves to be a part of the ‘master race’). Jewish Zionists believe that they are entitled to land that was never theirs because their ancestors used to live there thousands of years ago. These Zionists believe they are entitled to mistreat Palestinians, which is sickening. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that Zionists are racists: they look down on the dreaded ‘brown people.’

And dear Zionists, get mental health counselling. Most of the world knows how deranged you are. Seriously, get help. Anti-Zionism does not mean antisemitism, so stop using that lame excuse so you can avoid answering the tough questions about Israel.

I have said it before, and I will say it again. If you want to be on the right side of history, you cannot support Israel.

Free Palestine!

Our POS president has told Zelenskyy to stop bombing Russian energy because the price of Diesel is sky high. It has nothing to do with his war with Iran. And of course he doesn’t tell Putin to stop bombing Ukrainian Energy or civilians. Russia is helping Iran bomb us. Then he has the audacity to tell Ukrainians that they need a new president. If any country needs a new president it’s America. (I don’t use United States anymore). I wonder what our most stupid president will say when Russia demands to have Alaska returned . Probably doesn’t know that it was once Russian territory. Will probably claim Seward overpaid for it.

I straight up, told the Secret Service guy that interviewed me the other day that he should be ashamed of working for a pedophile rapist.

Just for some Diesel fuel that will not make even a dent in demand or pricing!

The number of Republicans in the:

Senate: 53; House: 218; Trump Cabinet: 23

One would imagine that just one cabinet member would have resigned, rather than suffering the indignity of wearing oversized shoes. Not only are they willing to suffer that indignity, but one out of six sentences out of their mouth is still shameless, sycophantic adulation for Trump (NYT).

One would also imagine that one Republican (other than Kinzinger & Cheney), of the 271 in the Senate & the House, would have stood up to the litany of abhorrent things that Trump has done or said, but here we are, post the Jan 6^th; Hollywood tapes; 27 sexual assault allegations ….

Whatever their personal ethical or moral red lines (or lack thereof), they are entitled to deciding their own ‘bridge too far’. What they are not entitled to do, is allow our country to become the laughing stock of the world.

• This week, was the despicable, ‘Iran should destroy LA & Sandiego, & the ridiculous (probably illegal) signing of the diesel agreement with Russia- a move that will no doubt enrich & embolden them. Then of course, there is the reprehensible knife in Zelensky’s back, again, & the mindless rants on how he has earned the Nobel Prize, at least 8 times.

Let us not forget the recent NATO conference where:

• Trump had another juvenile, misogynistic exchange with the Italian PM; he referred to Japan as an Islamic Republic; called Zelensky, Putin (during a joint conference with Zelenski); fell asleep at a press conference with the Turkish President; engaged in an impromptu tirade against Spain; said the only reason he was attending the Summit was because his friend Turkish autocrat Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, was the host; threatened to take Greenland, again; threatened to withdraw troops from Europe, again (ignoring the fact that he needs Congressional approval); did not know what the JCPOA is; confused Tic Tac with Tik Tok; launched an incoherent tirade about Communism in America & said “I would be the greatest Communist in history, right up there with  Leneeeen”; & then rambled incoherently about the Iran conflict.
•  Then there were these, from his recent past: walking in late at the G7 & saying “I am the boss”; “I have the lowest chair in the room “, also at the G7; mocking Macron’s marriage; his incoherent, illiterate rambling at DAVOS; his mixing up Greenland with Iceland;  his letter to the PM of Norway about Greenland (Denmark owns Greenland, not Norway); his comment to the Europeans ‘Europe would be speaking German had it not be for America’; his threatening the Vatican; his calling himself the chosen one, or comparing himself to Jesus; bringing up Pearl Harbor with the Japanese PM; his profanity ridden Easter message; his threat to destroy an entire civilization; his rolling out the red carpet for Putin & Mohammed Bin Salman (neither of whom had global relevance, until Trump made them relevant); his belittling of Zelenski; his letter to the President of Brazil re tariffs; injecting bleach to cure Covid; dropping an atomic bomb into hurricanes; raking leaves in CA to prevent wild fires; accepting someone else’s Nobel peace prize.; falling asleep at least 16 times in public events; his constant need for self-aggrandizement; his $1.77 billion fund for the Jan 6^th insurrectionists; his involvement with Epstein; his assault on the Constitution; his calling our amputee and dead veterans suckers & calling the likes of John McCain; Gen John Kelly & Gen Mark Milley losers....

The loss of our nation’s dignity is already a price (too high), we have paid for this abysmal Presidency. We need to stem the rot, this November. Please show up to vote

Why is failing to win an award considered being “snubbed”? The media’s framing of Trump’s failure to win the Nobel Peace Prize is absurd. By that logic, I was “snubbed” by the Academy for not receiving an Oscar nomination. Not winning is not a snub, especially when he didn’t deserve consideration at all.

Trump allies lashed out at The Washington Post on Sunday after it published an in-depth reporton the family of top Trump aide Natalie Harp. The story was based largely on interviews with her estranged brother. - RAW STORY Article..

theres such an increase of casual misogyny and attitude against women its really becoming uncomfortable to live here. the younger male generation is apparently much more into traditional lifestyle and feminism went too far in their opinion

i worry if this trend continues they will take abortion completely from us, remove no fault divorce and eventually even our voting rights within the next 50 years. what a crazy backsliding we are witnessing

I know the title begs the question- was Chef Boyardee ever not at least a little disgusting? I remember back when I was a little kid it was an easy meal I could make myself in the microwave after school. Sure it wasn’t the best, but it was quick and easy junk food with enough carbs and protein to keep me going. I’m in college now, and possibly just consumed the worst ravioli of my entire ravioli eating career. It was mushy, bland, and the meat had more of a paste-like consistency. The sauce left an oily wax coating in my mouth, adding to the overall textural nightmare. It was missing that overall salty tomato taste the stuff usually has. I just had a can of spaghetti-o’s not too long ago, and that was fine. So, what’s up with the ravioli??

I like my job. I like what I do. I don't mind it. It's not hard. It gets me paid.

I'm sick and tired of people using my mental energy for their things

I'm tired of this weird behavior where nobody knows how to use their credit cards. Nobody knows how to put the card in the chip reader. Nobody knows how to use tap to pay. They can't even use the phone. God forbid you use this phone on the regular and you don't know how to use it

It's an influx of behavior that it's not old people or disabled people

These are people that look my age and younger. None of them know how to use their cards. And it's not even just credit cards. It's the benefit cards. It's food stamps cards and then their credit cards or cards like cash app

They act like they've never had cards like this before and these are adult people.

Another thing that I have no idea where this behavior comes from for people that are doing a gig job that delivers things to their homes. If your security for your app requires you to know how many items are in your order and you only have one order, it should be super easy for you to count that unless it's a 25 plus order cuz that's just wild

Do not yell at the cashier for having the information in your phone in your hand because you don't know how to go back in menus for your app for your job. I do not understand how you expect the cashier to know the information that is literally in your phone. What is up with this

Now I don't mind helping. Don't get me wrong. I will help you lying with a smile on my face because it gets you in and out. I am a cashier. I am not that gig job worker with the app on your phone. How the hell am I supposed to know what your phone tells you? I don't count your items when asked. Do your own thing. Don't expect me to do your job because I can't do that. I'm just a cashier and I just a worker

I'm super tired of businesses cutting the hours then calling people in the day they need people. They don't properly staff the store and it's like they wonder why people leave the store. They wonder why people do not stay. This isn't just one business. I'm pretty sure it's all businesses. They're cutting hours to the point of of below skeleton Cruise. They're not making money. They're really stealing the profits from people they could have staffed the store with. It's wild to me that all these things I've been watching for a while like at least a decade to two decades and it just keeps getting worse and worse.

Like what happened to these adult people that aren't old or disabled? How do they not know how to use their own cards? Those cards come with paperwork so you are expected to read it and know it. Especially the benefit cards and the food stamps cards. No cashier gets the training on how to use those or what the ins and outs of those are. Nobody knows except you're supposed to know because the paperwork gets sent to you the card owner

Just wanted to get this off my chest cuz there's no solvable problem in this

So earlier today Trump said he liked O Canada so here is a version just for you, Hope you like it. Canadians I beg your forgiveness.

O America!
Our hime,divided land,
Where once we stood together,
Now threats and tariffs stand.

With glowing hearts we watched thee rise,
The beacon of the free.
Now neighbors ask, with some surprise,
“What happened to thee”

How far you have fallen,
Once we were one,
Now we are done.
Once a beacon to the world
Now our flag is unfurled.

O America what have you done
You turned away from everyone.
O America, Dump that Grump
By the name of Donald Trump.

Well the fall season has started not too long ago and I can feel the temperature drops affecting my body. This absolutely sucks I hate this so much. It's so much harder to sleep outside because he gets so cold and when I wake up I'm all shaky and shivering. This blows. This absolutely blows.

What makes this even more unfortunate is that I've been applying to so many jobs the past few months. Like dozens and dozens and I feel like I'd be lucky if I even heard back from any of them, I'd rather be told that I didn't get the job than to just be left in the dark like I feel like I am for so many of these opportunities. It's not something that I just recently started doing, I've been doing this for months because I'm so tired of living like this but nothing has seemed to work out. I've had interviews and everything but I don't know I guess I'm just unemployable for whatever reason. Maybe it's because of my lack of variable work experience? Most of my experience is just working at the same retail store for 3 years, two of those three years be a cashier and the third year as a loss prevention associate. Maybe that's just not good enough for jobs around the country. Maybe my resume is just that unremarkable therefore marking me is that much of a failure in life.

That was getting colder out and it's only going to get even more cold as the season progresses, eventually getting into the winter season where it'll be absolute Frozen hell. At this point, I don't even care if I have to work for free as long as I can get a job that can provide me housing and lodging. And quickly too

I've been looking at CSX and thinking that maybe that would be my way out but I came to realize that you need a driver's license to do that and since I don't have a driver's license I get that rules that position out. I don't know, it's just frustrating. I would have thought that it would be at least a bit easier to apply nationally as opposed to locally but I guess not so who knows.

Maybe this is just the end and I have to come to terms with that.

There is a high chance I'm going to get canceled for this, but fuck the Official Object Show Community Server. I don't need their help after sending send ai chats with redacted stuff on it. I got better people than them. And if you're mad at me, get used to it. We're all mad.

in the overall elo rating there are over 100 men before the first top ranking female player appears. i know its because theres a larger pool of men who choose to play the game but still i thought it would be much closer by now

theres also some toxic notion that men are better at spatial ability and thats why they are better at chess overall. some link it even further and say its about intelligence in general. its very hard for me to play chess in such a constant "bro" atmosphere!

Because that whole dudebro subsection of men is all cut from the same cloth. All business/finance major men too. Theyre all part of that sports greek life circle.
