I guess one silver lining of getting a 12 hour ban around 6pm is that I should be asleep for most of it.

Got 12hr banned from the hell-scape site because I was baited by an overt fascist into telling him to do something that I thought I had grown out of. They make me so mad though. I should have just gone with the classic "follow your leader" but the urge to be explicit was too strong.

The most convoluted explanation that relies on the most assumptions is most likely correct.

Before you glaze Jimmy Carter for being "kind old man who digs wells and build houses", remember that he insisted on engaging with pinochet and other right wing authoritarian leaders in South America. This includes pumping military aid into El Salvador which was massacring and torturing civilians.

Google finally got around to pushing the "u-block origin is not a valid plugin" update on me, so I finally got around to pushing "import settings from another browser" on Firefox.

I know it's not likely to change anything, but I sent a well detailed & formal email to Chris Penk after learning he had overturned Candace Owens being banned from coming to NZ. Hopefully might inspire some other people to speak up directly.

I'm going to try really, really hard to not let my ADHD inaction get in the way of producing left wing political content for a younger male audience in the coming weeks.

The things I am reading and seeing going on on the hell site are starting to deeply affect me but I also can't seem to rip myself away from it. How can so many people be so horrible?

stuff.co.nz/politics/360... Given that this bullshit was going on today, the US election should not still be at the top of NZ news websites.

It is a political parties job to win votes from the people, it is not the peoples job to give votes to a political party for simply not being a different party.

People who didn't vote aren't responsible for a Trump victory, people who voted for Trump are responsible.

Flirting with the idea of moving back over here but my brain is so broken is just wants to read twitter and get angry about it. I say "no, brain, that's not good for us" and it goes "maybe so, BUT...."

Blocked because I think that whoever voted directly for these wankers are more responsible than those who didn't vote at all. Lmaooooo never change, politics, never change. #nzpol

While I am proud of my progress and ability to sometimes and somewhat overpower my diminished executive function, I'm getting real fucking tired man.

I legit don't give a fuck when a chud blocks me on twitter but a couple of actual lefties have blocked me and it bothers me man cuz I'm like wtf did I say lol was I memeing too close to the sun or smth. I think I just hate being misunderstood really.
March 7, 2024 at 7:31 AM
I know I shouldn't but all this news makes me feel bad that I qualify for the SLP while people with literal cancer don't?

Taking away all the conspiracy nutjob elements of it, there is a lot of merit to the foundations of dead internet theory; I just feel it's more organic and less planned.

One of the strangest and most surprising developments of the last few months must be Wayne Brown speaking occasional sense.

I can't be the only one that thinks if he intended all along for the speech to be that similar, he would have pre-addressed it in his newest speech. Like something along the lines of "As I have already said last year, xyz".

There's a lot to attack this new government for but I don't think reduced police funding is the area to attack. That's pretty based actually.
