I remember back when I lived in the dorms for college and some of the horrific shit I saw and smelled is ungodly. I went to one of those "gamer" colleges and I had a pair of friends that I hated going into their room because it stank of feet, cum, and BO and it only got worse over the year. Then when I moved room the toilet was black with filth and I ended up spending >3 hours scrubbing it until me and my new roommate were comfortable even going near it, he was stuck cleaning other parts of the room in trade for me doing the toilet. I have no issue living cluttered and not living in an immaculate space, but I mean, have standards.

Earlier this year we had COVID rip through our unit, half of our residents got it. Since it's a dementia unit it's nigh impossible to quarantine people because they either will come walking out and get aggressive if you try to keep them inside, or they'll find a way to fall. While most made it through the quarantine period, it still took its toll, we had 6 die within a few days of each other a bit after we were fully cleared on the unit, they just weren't able to make back out on the other side. To that end, there are a fair few people that now have chronic coughs and we had RSV hit a few weeks later. The ones that died were already pretty precarious but as of now we have a new group that's a bit more precarious and keeps getting sick.

I mean Hexbear darling Shaun has a 2 hour video on why the bombings were bad. The us firebombing campaign killed more civilians and destroyed more homes than the two nukes did. None of this absolves Japan of their crimes, but the US absolutely weren’t the good guys as evidenced by the post war occupation where leftists were crushed by American interest and the Korean Peninsula was split leading to a US backed genocide of Korea along with the US reinstating Japanese rule.

The fact that it’s a rarity for it to even be discussed let some acknowledged that Japan were the bad guys by Japanese people overall reflects the conditions where no true punishment and learning occurred. The bombs did nothing but kill civilians to force an end of a war so the US could ramp up the next one.

Similarly the us hasn’t learned or been punished for it’s own war crimes so it should still be discussed.

Everyone talks about how it's going to piss off gen-Z but I swear all the gen X and older millennials I work with use it more than any of the gen Z I work with.

Got so hype when the showed up

"Funny" how the only group in double digits against ending the Ukraine war are Dems.

For a crime older than I am, was there even any justice served at this point? The man wasn't actively a threat to society and was instead used as an experiment subject. The only cases I'm even sympathetic to execution are of the monsters that lead to hundreds of deaths through social murder or negligence, but in the western world you just gotta pay less than a single PS5 to the families to get off the hook for that kind of shit and even then just lock them up.

While I know probably a lot of terrible people get fucked over in such a way, I feel like most of my experiences involve relatively nice people just sorta fucked by a terrible set of circumstances.

Like when I still worked in a hospital setting, we had the sweetest woman with ALS, she brightened everyone's day in just interacting with her despite her disease being super advanced and being dependent. The entire unit got depressed when we found out she died a few weeks later in the ICU. Also had a poor woman with a giant Kennedy ulcer that developed that for weeks just held on and also got revived by her defibrillator, despite being in agony almost all the time.

If there was a truly just and good God, monsters like Fetterman would be the ones locked in their bodies stuck in a terrible nursing home where they spend half the day sitting in their own shit until their skin dissolves leaving a giant pressure injury in its wake.

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

Their strategy for the last several decades is "we'll try to implement something and then something will stop us and oh darn we can't do anything about it." "Oh no the Parlimentarian won't let us do it" "Oh no Manchin and Sinema won't let us do it" "Oh no we don't want to breach decorum"

There's no meaningful change, anything they do actually pass is obnoxiously means tested. They were bragging about cutting overdraft fees in half, about a 16 cent less Fourth of July cookout. Affordable housing is nonexistent, it's all a speculation market and owned by property management corps these days. The debt forgiveness is such an easy win that they intentionally let die and never did anything else just being happy to kinda sorta let a tiny section of the population see some relief.

When you look at China and their significant advances in renewables and reducing their carbon footprint, it's quite obvious that when a nation actually gives a shit and pushes for something better, you could have more than some paltry tax credit system that gets abused by fuckos like Musk where they'll remain profitable because they're selling the credits.

Stuck watching NBC at work with all the morning news shows and I’m rather surprised how many ad spots there are about antisemitism. I know there’s a rise in antisemitism but there’s a rise in islamophobia too that’s getting none of the same coverage. It really just feels more like more propaganda and equivocating Zionism with Judaism taking the form of PSAs to make them seem more benign while pushing the continued party line that the Zionist entity is fully justified in anything and everything.
