ClimateStalin

As a small note, these thoughts do change how I talk about them. I usually say I have depression, anxiety, and ADHD, but I am autistic. Even though parts of it are definitely disabling it is a core part of my identity

I have a lot of very separate symptoms, some of which are disabling, some are just who I am. I like obsessively playing Victoria 3. I don’t like freaking out because of the sound of the dog licking itself. Etc.

I will say, of my mental disorders, autism is the only one that has parts I consider core to who I am and wouldn’t want to change. The rest of them can go entirely. Depression can fuck off, the anxiety can also fuck off, and people like to say ADHD has upsides but I don’t see them and I’d like to be able to remember to do simple tasks.

And why should it be “independent”? At least in theory the government is supposed to represent the people, shouldn’t we have control over how the fed operates?

What would “independent” even mean? It’s not like you’re grabbing a handful of economics professors and putting them in a locked room for years looking at nothing but numbers. The fed is run by people who exist and live in the country.

Why on earth would they agree to invest hundreds of millions of dollars, last week they were threatening to pull out current investments because of the whole “Kidnapping South Korean workers” thing

Worse Korea has basically nothing to lose by telling the US to kick rocks. The largest US export to SK is drunk GIs committing crimes in Seoul.

South Korea holds the cards here, the US has nothing on them. Tell the US if they don’t remove the tariffs and give other concessions you’ll pull Hyundai and Samsung from the US.

Elon Musk paid $44B for Twitter which is obviously waaaaaaay less valuable than TikTok. Thats a crazy undervaluation.

Tofu going for 10¢ a pound until Americans learn to eat it

Yeah I’ve seen this sticker on the back of Child Crusher 9000s for years

That’s 100% a dog whistle

At the same time though a possible takeover of the GOP by the nazi wing like Bannon etc may be way worse long term.

Idk, I think I take the Nazis over the Apocalypse Enjoyers. The Nazis want to live in a white ethnostate, the Christians want everyone on earth to die

Imagine getting this angry about a mayoral candidate for a city you live nowhere near

And that’s ignoring climate change

I’m not gonna bring a child into a world on fire

Weird right wingers will sometimes screenshot posts and post them in Google reviews if you work somewhere that has those
