Well as someone who struggled with depression in high-school and mental illness I know now after educating myself that your brain changes as you get older.

If I hadn’t seen my 30s I wouldn’t have felt that self love I matured into.

The stock market should be illegal in all countries. Its basically a legalized gambling ponzii scheme.

Retirement also shouldn’t be tied to this type of system.

Prostitution should be legalized everywhere. With regulation of course to ensure the protection of the workers and clients.

Never thought of it that way. Honestly I could be convinced of that.

But I could also be convinced that at minimum it should be 3 years after the human brain has had an opportunity to fully mature.

Suicide shouldn’t be illegal. If you’ve tried treatments and seen a therapist for years but just want out - you should be able to schedule a day to be put to sleep.

I think its immoral not to give people a dignified way out.

I like the Colorado Springs airport. Small lines and chill vibes.

My personal favorite to sing with my now husband is “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” version by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.

Realistically we’ll all be dead by 2050 after the nukes go off.

Im gonna smoke weed even harder.

How did I let them win when I voted for Kamala? With all due respect you dont know what its like out here and I think other countries never will understand.

Seeing single mothers work 3 minimum wage jobs to put food on the table, shootings in impoverished neighborhoods, people dying of illness and in debt. Soldiers and seniors working in Uber to get extra cash. Higher education being unattainable for the poor. No social systems or protections for workers. “At will employment” where your Healthcare is always at risk. Many people in my family voting for people like Bernie in local and federal elections and just losing each time.

They keep Americans tired by design just enough to wield power and control. They keep us split to further the control.

I dont need or want your empathy for my despair. I dont expect any. In fact, I expect the lack of empathy from humanity and just harsh judgment. I have no faith humans will turn this around or that we will be the last corrupt country. I suspect this problem will only spread. No one is immune. Greed will kill this planet and us all.

So no, I did my best and I’m at peace knowing that I will die forgotten and will not do anything extraordinary. But that I prioritized time with people I love most.

No, not laughing. Been depressed at the state of my country for a while and the bad influence our system has on the world.

But I understand why other people laugh at us. Honestly, I think our species is just doomed to make the same mistakes over and over again.

It feels like some patterns of greed and ego will always come back around and make it hell on earth. Sometimes I wonder if this is hell.

Anyway, just waiting for my end to come and taking a day at a time trying to make the best of life that I can with my loved ones.

Sorry I cant hear you over me enjoying the sound of beautiful flames on Tesla. Gives me asmr tingles.

To me, nationality is just a roll of the dice. You shouldn’t have to stay somewhere just because you were born there. You wanna leave? By all means, go have your life’s adventure.

And immigration should be widely supported in terms of higher ethical standards. Countries who make it difficult for people seeking to find a comfortable place to live is more immoral than a person seeking a new home.

Thank you!

Do you know if there’s a way to filter them out?

Im participating in all. I dont pay attention to server or the drama around servers.

Its just always something we are going to face no matter the platform. Mods generally will always get power unhinged no matter if its privately funded or not.

Im starting to see Lemmy isn’t any better. Mods deleting my comments for asking questions.

Their documents specify that they will have meetings with their sign ups to finalize the list of demands.

So join the discord and join their meetings and ask away.

Whenever I attend a protest, there is 0 media stations in attendance or covering it.

By design. They’re under control.

Honestly, I think everyone’s waiting for the masses to be just pissed off enough to kick it up a notch.
