I would have a hard time describing my political affiliation. I would guess "leaning libertarian-socialist", but I don't fully subscribe to all so IDK in which category I fit in.

  • I like the idea of workers owning the means of production, but don't like production for use (that never works). Simply remove the C-suite leeches and distribute their paycheck and parts of the profit among workers that actually produced them.
  • States and governments can stay and should mainly act as a developmental/economic guide. Taxes are okay, but they have to be spent in a way that benefits the public, not bailouts for banks or corporations. They should pay for social security, roads, healthcare, schools and universities, imports/exports, stuff like that.
  • I'm not foolish enough to believe that humans can behave themselves, so there needs to be a way to hold perpetrators accountable in front of a court of peers. But as long as somebody doesn't harm or endanger someone else (or the environment because that affects everyone), they should be able to do whatever they damn please, including owning things.
  • There needs to be a wealth cap. Period.
  • Exceptions need to be made for goods and property that are required by everyone, like food, water and housing. Buying houses and apartments as assets is morally deplorable because all you do is enrich yourself on other's basic needs.
  • Why are private equity firms legal again?

So what am I?

If it bleeds longer than 10 minutes, if it hurts periodically or constantly or if something persists without getting better for more than 3 days, go to a doctor. If it's really bad, go earlier (tooth pain for example can get debilitating quickly).

If you are at cancer risk (40+), get periodic check ups.

If you apply what is close to a tourniquet and it still bleeds through, that's a pretty strong indicator that you might want to get someone to look at it.

But I shouldn't complain, I'm the same in that sense. I had a scratch wound from a fall (tripped drunk on the stairs when a friend was over) and constantly itched my leg and scratched off the scab. Got a nasty infection. At first it started to hurt in the evening, I went to bed and it was okay the morning. Then it wasn't okay next morning, but manageable. I finally went to the ER when it got so bad that I had to lie on the couch the whole day and would almost black out from pain when getting up to go to the toilet. I've never gotten an official diagnosis, but from the pictures, I strongly lean towards strep infection. 3 weeks of penicillin and a stern lecture from the doc and I was right as rain, albeit the skin on my leg looks a bit different now lol

I remember my mom washing her immersion blender. She always left it plugged in and turned it on in the dish water, so the blades get clean. One day, she was trying to wash the cap at the same time and caught her index in the immersion blender. She turned down my advice to go to the ER, she rather had me tape the finger. It was of no use, gauze would just instantly get soaked and started dripping blood. But she still didn't feel the need to go to the ER because "that will heal, I had worse".

Spoiler alert, when she couldn't sleep that night because of throbbing pain, she asked me to take her to the ER. They were pretty mad at her and asked her why she didn't come instantly. 6 stitches and a load of antibiotics.

Well, they will be prosecuted, or at least there is the chance that they will be. Trump was already convicted of sexual assault which in other states would have been a rape charge. The problem is that he, nor "high-profile people" will ever spend even a single day in the prison cell they belong into.

They got caught sleeping on the job, that's for sure.

If you want me to show up on Christmas, just pay me enough to show up on Christmas. It's really that simple, you're a million dollar company, act like it.

There literally should just be a cap. Make it something ridiculous like "billionaires are not allowed to exist, so everything you earn past $999,999,999.99 is public property" and I don't see any way how someone could disagree with this other than wanting to be a malicious parasite. That is more than enough money to buy a yacht for your yacht and is also an amount of money that cannot be legitimately obtained.

For me, it is. Maybe it's confirmation bias tho, I don't write a diary lol

But why is it that you always remember your appointment the day after? Why is your inner clock consistently off by one day?

At this point I'm sure it's not even about control anymore, it's just that privacy sometimes gets in the way of "line go up".
