I pay a flat rate for utilities and hate my landlord. Hmmm 🤔

The government can do that whenever. It’s an obscure method known as “properly funding the IRS”

Bullshit. It’s getting worse. Source: I live in Tacoma.

Troll.

We sure are, but because we’re tired we should be DOWNvoting the pointlessly negative comments. It’s difficult enough to retain sanity in this political environment without our fellow lefties deliberately making us feel worse.

Why do people keep upvoting this obnoxious and pointless negativity?

Alex was also killed by Latino men.

Sony phones have headphone jacks. I’m typing this on my Sony phone which has a headphone jack.

It’s definitely a sign of the times that I didn’t even consider that! I hope you’re right.

Using slop to make fun of crypto certainly is a weird choice. They’re very much adjacent.

Now that Ellison owns CNN I’m sure their last shreds of journalistic integrity will suddenly be nowhere to be found.

Almost every male politician does the same thing. I can only assume you also call them whores, right? Otherwise it’s just misogyny.

“I can be misogynistic because someone else was”

Can you hear yourself?

Calling someone a whore because they happen to be a woman you dislike is still misogyny. Be better than them.

Edit: Lemmy has always had a misogyny problem. The downvotes are extremely telling. Disliking someone’s politics does not give you a free pass to be a misogynist.

Riiiiight. The teeny tiny percentage of the younger generations who end up with houses will be super impactful in future elections, lol.

I appreciate your thorough response! I’m so used to our red states in the US being absolutely awful and backwards as hell that I think I was projecting that onto Alberta. It can’t possibly be as bad as fuckin Idaho, lol.

Yeah, nah. None of us have houses and most are in the same position I’m in: I will have to work until I die. There’s no retirement in my future. If anything I’ll just be moving further left as I get older.

A big part of the reason that boomers are so awful is that they own all the houses and made sure their pet politicians made the value keep going up over time by limiting the amount of housing being built.

Our circumstances are so drastically different from the boomers that there’s just no way we’re going to be just like them. I do agree that we have to be mindful of the warnings you’re mentioning, but I don’t think it’s even possible to follow in their footsteps. They did a thorough job pulling the ladder up.

Isn’t Alberta where all the best hiking is? I’ve often thought about where I would want to live in Canada if they ever accepted me and I would prefer to live where there’s mountains and hiking. Did they really turn the prettiest province into a dumping ground for their worst people?

It’s sad on multiple levels because this is a great idea for a traditional two panel comic. This joke would fit in perfectly in the comics section of a newspaper.

Cool! I’m on the last quest of the first game and will be starting KCD2 at some point. I got sidetracked by horror games (tis the season). The Medium and Silent Hill 2 are so good I decided to buy Cronos as well. I’m on a Bloober kick.
