lmao he’s such an attention whore, can’t do the tiniest thing without a long-winded petty dramatic post about it

trends.google.com

he didn’t though, at least in the mainstream. liberals made him this funny thirsty trend for like a week and a half before they forgot about the whole thing, without having any serious class dialogue.

going off a bit of a tangent: my mom’s a former nursing assistant who went into debt studying to become an LP-nurse when i was in middle school. as an assistant nurse, she developed arithitis from lifting patients with mobility issues every workday, yet she hasn’t been able to afford a doctor’s appointment in years (or eye care, or dental care). by the book, 2 workers should be lifting patients with proper technique, yet that’s rarely the case due to intentional under-staffing and time constraints.

she usually worked in nursing homes; dressing people, hand feeding them, showering/bathing them, cleaning their excrement, etc. nursing assistants spend the most amount of time with patients, so she made a ton of meaningful connections with them over the years. a lot of patients would (and still do) tell her how they can’t afford treatment or surgery themselves. after a patient passed (some of whom she’d be grieving over), she and a coworker were usually in charge of cleaning their stiffening bodies and lifting them into bags to be sent to the morgue.

assistant nursing (along with regular nursing to an extent) is one of the most dangerous jobs in the US by far, with up to 60% of facing an injury per year (most commonly back injuries). figuratively and literally the backbone of the healthcare industry who work for barely above minimum wage with little direction or support. if anyone has the most reason to [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], it’s them

unfortunately most people turned it into a funny trend to talk about how cool and hot he is and moved on instead of creating any substantial mainstream dialogue on class consciousness. didn’t help that he had incoherent politics and his (supposed) manifesto didn’t say much.

i guess the halo effect helped more people agree with his actions, but part of me wonders how different we’d talk about if the shooter was an average joe with a story to tell, like a 50 year old denied life saving treatment, or someone like my mom: she works in healthcare, yet can’t afford medical treatment for issues working in healthcare caused

ah seems like someone here edited and updated the wiki after i posted this

thought a pertinent article like that would be half-decently kept up with seeing it’s pretty much the only mainstream non-paywalled source that comes up when you google 2024 3rd party access, but guess not

i’m unironically in a uni class where our weekly discussion posts (ie have to write 3 short paragraphs a week) are graded by AI. professor says the system should give full credit if it can tell what you’re saying has some substance and is relevant to the weekly text, but it often seems like when i write something original it gives my reply a C and when i say anything buzzwordy and devoid i get an A

phone’s browser (safari) had 1.2GB of website data in my local storage, nearly 1.1GB of that was hexbear??

when i deleted the hexbear data safari took up 90% less storage, have i just been that much of a chronic lurker or is more data being stored than should be? i promise i use other websites

it’s not 20-30% of them, it’s +20-30 net percentage points which means a majority or at least plurality want it (eg if 60% of ppl support it, 30% are against it, 10% don’t know, then 60% - 30% = +30 pts)

capitalism breed innovation

probably had a bunch of assholes spending weeks making a 300 page marketing report on why they chose roboto over arial while earning 7 figures

looked up his religious beliefs and it seems he’s an atheist/agnostic who subscribes to christianity solely for the vibes and his western world fetish

Elon Musk announced that he’s a “big believer in the principles of Christianity” and “a cultural Christian”. Musk’s reasons are moral and political – he believes Christianity can boost both happiness and birthrates.

the other day my 70s born dad got pissy when i asked him if movie theaters had color when he was a teenager

people who say that have either never owned a cat or never truly tried to bond with theirs. my cat rubs on me and purrs when i’m crying, guards the bathroom door when i’m taking a shit, and freaks out meowing and scratching on the door like i’m drowning when i shower

she also has full on separation anxiety from me even though my mom’s the one who feeds her and stuff. the first couple weeks i was away for college she got depressed and full on neglected herself, not eating as much and looking mangy because she barely groomed herself. last time she heard my voice over the phone she meowed and searched the house all confused :/

implied that natural gas was a renewable energy source

literally something i’ve only heard from ultraconservative climate denialists

“This debate swayed my vote”

1 in 4 yes

do they just…not know what sway means?

most americans are heavy into the “we do not negotiate with terrorists” fantasy

she’s an immigrant who was raised by muslim refugee parents, definitely about to be fodder for swiss fash who’ll ignore the fact she’s agnostic

i’m expecting to see dozens of social media clips captioned “Kamala served BRAT 💚🥥” and edits of her to charli xcx and other mediocre popstars

phone or work phone that gives email notifications? i feel like that’d be a lot more convenient seeing they could wait 5 minutes vs having to immediately drop whatever they’re doing for a call

they mean draw what ur dick looks like cumming i think. this was in our library bathroom btw
