Yep. Yet another nationalist has been assassinated. Slowly, we are losing the most nationalistic figures in Ukraine. We all know how I feel about nationalism, so of course, I’m very unhappy about this development.
If Ukrainian nationalism loses, I wouldn’t bet on it surviving anywhere. Not in any causal way but symbolically. If even there it dies, what reason does it have to continue existing in places that don’t need it quite as desperately?
I urgently need a new job, people. We are in a hopeless situation, and it’s only getting worse. The union mishandled everything so egregiously, I’m wondering if it’s not malicious.
God, these people are clueless:
“The deep state is sending fussy liberal women to spy on you online. And that’s a good thing!”
What a clueless crowd.
My friends, your boy Newsom is a racist.
He’s openly saying that states with tiny black populations are superior. Ay yay yay.
I’m seeing on social media that this has become fashionable with Democrats. They gleefully list states with large black populations and explain what hell holes such states are. It’s disturbing.
It’s quite fascinating that people who like nothing more than to accuse everybody of racism would engage in this racist behavior. “We population-replaced California blacks, and rah rah, look how much better everything is. Hitler made trains run on time.”
Very sad and distasteful.
I’m not seeing much of a difference. Both dislike America. Both are opportunists and dishonest. Both promise a neoliberal future where the state plays on the side of transnational corporations and is comically inefficient in everything except policing speech.
Both are better than AOC who is a moron but that’s a low bar to cross.
Once again, I want to point out that I should have listened to my instincts and never agreed to have the union negotiate for us with the administration. What the union got for us at the end of several months of negotiations is hugely, painfully and shockingly worse than what the administration originally offered.
Before you blame me for agreeing to accept the union’s help, please remember that I have colleagues and the decision was collective. I agreed a regañadientes, and now I’m too mad to remember how to describe my agreement in English.
Many people watch, listen, and read to hear their own half-formed thoughts given back to them in a more completed form.
This is not bad. People are busy. They can’t dedicate all their time to formulating ideas and pondering how best to express them. Their primary responsibility in life is different. And it’s all good. They kind of know where the answers lie and they look for books, podcasts, blogs, and articles to arrive at the verbal expression of what they intuit.
I, on the other hand, am one of those people whose whole job is to express thoughts. I know my own ideas because I literally sit at work for hours thinking about how better to express them. I don’t need help. Not because I’m superior. The guy who is doing my oil change as I write this is not superior to me, doing something I can’t. He’s doing his job. Thinking and formulating ideas is mine. The oil change dude and I are both important to society in our different roles.
Because I know exactly what my ideas are, I don’t seek out information sources that tell me what I know. I get tired from the contents of my mind because I spend so much time with it. Usually, people are distracted from the contents of their minds for hours a day by their jobs and other obligations. They seek information that brings them closer to their thoughts. I do the opposite. I try to take a break from mine.
Do I need to repeat that this doesn’t make anybody better or worse? It’s simply material circumstances of life.
I’ll continue later because the oil change is done.
People are divided into those who do and those who don’t understand why Newsom’s post is terrible:
What a shit person is writing his social media posts.
It looks like Republicans are overall a happier bunch:
Democrats don’t even go to seventy, let alone eighty, when their dude is in the White House. The reason is that they want too much from their guy. What they want, he can’t give because a politician is not the source of it.
Happy long weekend to those of us who like to be happy, whatever our political persuasion.
