Krogers sucks for a ton of reasons, but at least ONE near me is union (I think its a bland one but hey, they at least offer above 15 for starting). The self checkout peeps are also usually pretty nice, and generally don't check if the automated fascist complains that you scanned something wrong.

Slaver Joes

In Communist China, you are investigated, detained, and put on trial for your lack of support for North Korea.

Listen, only Joe Biden can promote violence. Anyone else? Instantly sent to ~~the gulag~~ gitmo.

If you want something more comedic, or gaming based, I'd suggest checking out Wayneradiotv/the RTVS crew. Fair warning, a bit younger (mid to late 20s, I think one is 30.) Pretty big crew, all are good friends, very much goofy and silly and always looking for a bit. Definitely not for everyone, but its junk food content I don't have to feel bad about because they're all genuinely good people, have at minimum decent politics, and are genuinely funny. Extremely trans and LGBT friendly , pro-Palestine, etc.

Jokes range from 9/11 being a reoccurring gag, the main streamer being "called out" for being the white cis-het of the group, being "viewer hostile" to avoid parasocial weirdos, enjoying bad AI shit, and you usual internet funnies. One streamer had to reupload a vod after it ended with a usual guest saying "All crackers should die". They have also a weird way of being related to a lot of internet culture, like the moonbase alpha video, lots of tumblr memes, and a series which hit it big in 2020.

The only problem is I have no idea where to direct someone new to them. Its too much of a collective art piece.

Plant snap? Decent (as in shockingly good for a free app, surprised they haven't ruined it yet) identification, I would suggest googling whatever it says anyway, as it can be a bit misleading or wrong. IE: once it said blackberry species X and it was blackberry species Y, one native, one not.

I don't pay for it but a lot of places will also list some plants as toxic but if you look at it you have to eat a specific part, or its a specific reaction. Could kill you from touching it, could be toxic only to cats during summer. So probably of limited use if its just a yes/no/maybe box.

I do wish there were better options for determining native-ness. Absolutely sucks to think something is, propagate it, then realize nope, its NATURALIZED from a nearby state and is a bit problematic in your specific area. Prairie moon seeds somehow has the most clear guides, but only if they're selling it (as in, they only list species they have/had and their ranges, so no luck from them).

I have a chevy volt. Its a (weird) hybrid so slightly different (I think it runs the engine, but it CAN run it standing still. When it needs heat, plugged in it hums differently then unplugged.) Even though its like 8 years old at this point, even it knows to run to keep itself warm. It 100% has to be either cheapness, lazy design, or unwillingness to cut range in winter. But I mean... I can still drive just fine and it was near 0F last night lol.

DS was good, but the 3DS saw the switch to the soulless 3D mobile phone ascetic that dominates low end gaming now.

Grew up in a pretty traditionally conservative family and environment. Had several terrible experiences with the American healthcare system. My family, despite being bad, at least mostly legitimately believed that we shouldn't hate anyone else (excepting maybe gays and atheists lmao), so I wasn't the worst off. Early teen years I nearly got dragged into true chud shit, gamergate, etc. Luckily I kinda snapped out of it.

I got my mind on the right path when I learned about what Liberalism was from Victoria 2 of all things. Really opened me up to looking at politics in reality. Then I started to realize the socialists of that game were the good guys. Seeing them support healthcare was a brain changer. Slowly picked up more and more socialist ideas, and began identifying as a "fellow traveler", and from there became more and more fed up with liberals and conservatives.

I've voted for fucking Jeb (2016? primary, in a closed state), Hilldog, and Bernie like 3 times. Now I'd only vote for Parenti, the ghost of Lenin, and all of the politicians to slip on a banana peel.

One thing that hasn't changed is I feel like I always liked John Brown. Even as a chud I saw him as a true believer in personal freedom, someone actually getting shit done. From little seeds .

"democracy" China was/is already more democratic then any western "democracy"

If unemployment hits 40%, there would actually be a revolution (lib, fash, or real). Even this bozo gotta know that. Like, HALF of everyone who wants to work being out of work??? It would be society rending. The Great Depression "only" hit 25%. 40-50% would be actually insane.

So... critical support to Tim Gurner thought?

Its funny, watching any of it it is super clear on its message. Capital destroys the harmonica and arrests the musician. The narc gets paid for ratting out someone who holds beauty. The masses are bound by time to destroy the machine that creates.

One coin creates familial conflict, while one guy literally baths in coins. Its so on the nose, you have to purposefully misread it to miss the point.
