Andy's mom also had toys named "Buzz" and "Woody".

When I was a kid and fucked up/got in trouble for no reason id try and draw something to give to my adoptive parents to show im sorry and their biological children would get sooooo fucking mad and yell at me/hit me to get me to stop

Anyway, just got a drawing from my friends kid as a thank you and it made my day, its so sweet

I was raised by and around the actual scum of the earth and constantly have discoveries as an adult of how nice life is when you aren't a huge piece of shit

if I see another lib worry about 'authoritarianism' while waving the american flag I am going to crash out

I’m adding glorp when I get home

Im kind a dick for this but I was looking at Israeli pokemon go groups and theyre currently canceling their meetups because of Iran which lol

I'm excited to share that I've recently reached Gold rank in Overwatch! For those unfamiliar, Overwatch is a softcore pornography game that requires a significant commitment to bitterness and abusive chat messages

This tagline made me laugh

No current struggle session discussion here on the new general megathread, i will ban you from the comm and remove your comment, have a good day/night :meow-coffee:

went to a "No Kings" event today. saw a sign that said

NEVER FORGET GHORMAN

and that was my queue to leave. tho there was an indigenous woman in traditional dress and that fucking ruled.

"Publish or perish" should be abolished by force and it should be ok to just be an academic. Like a guy who just teaches philosophy or something without having to bullshit that you've found a new angle on Kant.

"Stan" has a weird message because it seems to be about the dangers of parasocial relationships and celebrity worship, but then Eminem really does write him back and seems genuinely interested in his personal life, so the moral of the story is actually that Stan should have just kept stanning

Without telling my partner about the mega, he suggested we have chilequiles this morning. Hell yea

I find it annoying when people compare the No Kings protests to Gandhi, because he didn't just show up to protests, that was really one of the least important things he did.

He instigated strikes, the non-payment of taxes, and boycotts. Libs aren't doing any of those.

Note to self: Do Not Post.

Imagine being Shahab Moradi, Soleimani has been assassinated by the US, you are quoted as america has no heroes, blah blah blah you cant bomb spiderman or spongebob, then fast forward and Anti-ICE and general anti-american protests are sparking across the country and there were people coming out ON THE SIDE OF THE PROTESTERS dressed as batman and shit like that.

FWIIII ^Huh!^ ^Hooh!^ ^Huh!^ ^Hooh!^ ^Huh!^ ^Hooh!^

Lord give me the confidence of Mehdi Hasan referring to Greta as "Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg".

CW: real shit, being depressed a.f., if you’re feeling down this post will probably make you feel worse.

Comrades I am not doing well. Had a breakup on Monday, failed a physical for a job application on Wednesday (part of a multi stage process that took months, job would have been life changing money wise), the news is completely bleak, the average house price in my country just passed a MILLION DOLLARS. Cheaper than US dollars but still. I make like 60k a year guys. I accepted I would never own a home not far into my adult life, but still.

Beyond the immediate shitty news coming from the US and Iran and half the rest of the world, there’s the slow burn of knowing our climate (and society) is gonna collapse in my lifetime. That my body is full of plastic. That despite years of organising and working in a commie org, the struggle is quantitatively exactly the same as when we started in our country. The people responsible will not be punished. I am depressed for myself, for my friends, for the third world, for my class.

Personally and societally things are not going well and I’m just extra feeling it atm. I’m sure y’all know how it is, when shitty stuff happens in your personal life all that political/societal shit that sits in the recesses of your mind starts breaking through the cognitive dissonance that allows you to function day to day without the horrific weight of what is confronting us all crippling you.

Ive done therapy on and off and what? What can a therapist say to make any of this better, lol? “Have you tried journaling”, “oh let’s do a meditation”. Not to mention I can barely even afford THAT!!! I spend literally half my income on rent!!!! Therapy costs 5% of what I make in a fortnight!!!!!! I have 40 fucking dollars in the bank until Wednesday!!!!

I take my antidepressants as I have for over a decade and they must take the edge off I guess. God knows how I’d be without them. I consume “””content””” by listening to audiobooks or YouTube all day at work and at home. Oh look at me I’m listening to educational communist content, I am making a difference I am not just another consumer at the fucking slop trough!!!! I look down on people who consoom Netflix and marvel slop every night and spend all day talking about it at work but what am I doing?! I am so superior with my non stop ingestion of Google product!

Whatever. I don’t want y’all to worry that I’m gonna self harm or whatever (I will definitely be getting drunk this weekend however). I have irl friends and comrades around. Just woke up in a super shitty mood today after this week, kinda been spiralling, wanted to get this off my chest. Even after typing it out I feel a bit better. I’ll keep going, because what else can we do? The struggle is all there is.

If Iran can hit Tel Aviv I can ask for a raise tomorrow

The world sits on the toilet, the new poop struggles to be born.

Next week is my last one on lib island , after that I go back home. It was very fun while it lasted, but I'm also happy to see my family and friends soon. It's a weird feeling to have been away for almost six months; and it feels even weirder that I'll leave again for China in September.

Also, I realised a short while ago that one of the planes I take to go back is a Boeing. Wish me luck, comrades!

Tel Aviv? Tel Aviv what? What am I supposed to say to Aviv?

I haven't seen any row-posting lately, what're y'alls stats at, rowers?

I'm up to 30 minutes at max resistance on my machine, 1530 strokes, 4.75 miles, without stopping (NO BRAKES ON THIS ROWBOAT)

theres nothing sadder than no one coming to ur birthday party smh

Maybe y'all have kept it in your minds but it just hit me that we literally have an emoji enshrining the exact moment Kamala Harris said "i will be just as fascist as Trump on immigration" which is p. turbofucked as the Libs do their shitty Trump focused protest "resistance" while the dems clearly want to run Kamala again (even though she'll probably lose again)

the emoji btw

The story of Hansel and Gretel ends with two Germans pushing someone with curly hair and a big nose who they blamed for being a greedy murderer into an oven. :fry:

Sorry, I can’t tonight. I’m refreshing the chapo dot chat news mega
