    Hot take. “MAGA” and “Libs”, “Left” and “Right”, “Conservative” and “Progressive”, whatever you wanna label it all, we all want the same basic things. But then we all pull tug of war in opposite directions and get nowhere while the actual problem is the billionaires and corporations and capitalism and the MONEY.

    It’s really all about money and power. They have an ocean of it and they have all of us fighting over who gets the few drop they gave us.

    We can end this pretty quickly if we choose to.


  • I know YOU aren’t saying that, this is at them:

    I am so fucking tired of every single awful thing Trump does being compared to Biden as if that excuses it or something. Both can be true and that doesn’t prove a point or anything, it just means we have systemic problems that STILL need to be fixed.







  • My job uses Safe. It’s the bastardized scrum you speak of.

    Are points the complexity, effort or time? Yes. No. No. Maybe. Yes. Who knows?

    They also sum our teams capacity as if we are interchangeable cogs doing the 1 same simple task.

    We have endless meetings. Daily 1hrs. Follow up to the follow up. Meeting to plan meetings. (I wish I was joking on this next on) Planning meetings to plan for the upcoming planning meetings.

    It’s chaos.

    It’s hell.

    I get 5% as much actual work done as I used to. Not even joking. It’s bad.





  • Do we REALLY want zombie Reagan and hundreds of others like that running around again? I dunno about you guys, but I’m so tired of living through Interesting Times ™️ and Unprecedented Events ™️. A zombie apocalypse where they don’t eat our brains, but just fuck up the economy even more doesn’t sound fun.






  • So many people keep arguing past each other on this because there are 2 truths and each side sees their 1 truth as the end-all.

    1. Genocide is bad. Biden isn’t doing enough to stop Israel. But, Trump would accelerate it. And also do more genocide here too.
    2. We have a FPTP voting system meaning the first candidate across the line wins, so you either vote for A or B. If you abstain from voting or vote 3rd party it does not make any difference whatsoever to the outcome because it is still who crosses the line first. So you have to decide which of the 2 you want, or which of the 2 you DON’T want. And vote accordingly.

    Everyone declaring “Genocide Joe” and voting 3rd party is missing the point that doing that could let Trump win. And that would be FAR worse.

    And everyone declaring “Blue no matter who” and demonizing the people that want the genocide to end are missing the point that our system is fucked and does not represent us and both candidates are bad. Both candidates are right wing and our country WANTS someone on the left that represents the people, but we simply don’t have that.
