keepcarrot [she/her]

When I had a dog I hated taking it for walks. Bleh. She was kinda foisted on me against my will and had so much energy. I had (have) zero energy.

I don’t really get the “dog owners” vs “cat owners” war. It’s the same thing I see on Facebook about random hobbies against other random hobbies. I do know there’s a certain sort of dude that views cat ownership as feminine, although they’re all older than 50.

I’m hiding a homeless person in my home, which is risking eviction to keep someone off the streets. Here, most tenancies don’t allow you to “sublet”, the landlord legally gets the final say about who lives in their property.

Yeah, welfare here is mostly app/phone based. You can technically get around it, but it requires visiting a dwindling number of centres very regularly and waiting in long queues.

Renting, getting a loan… Frankly, “seeming trashy” is a class signifier, what does seem trashy if you’re rich but is also trashy if you’re poor?

For zionists, at least, that has been true for a very long time >.>

TSA sounds nightmarish to me

For whatever reason, I’ve seen fascists try to claim they are not fascists because they haven’t done anything yet or are not close to the levers of power.

I found I couldn’t do it. I have a set of traumas that means I go into a weird fugue state where I massively undercharge by an order of magnitude and take on every liability. I think it’s some sort of rejection dissociation thingy, or like just trying to end the situation as quickly as possible. This meant I had made very little money and promised a lot, and also came to hate my hobby.

Now that I have a job, the stakes are much lower, I get regular pay, and I also pretty much never have to negotiate directly with clients.

It took a really long time to get that job though, given that job searching also requires skills I do not have

I remember for quite a while, the only thing keeping me going was spite. The worst people in the country wanted me dead (or at least starving in the street), so I had to keep hanging on or they’d win

Gave it a shot this morning, I could see myself missing buses. However, I do really dislike mobile interfaces. My thumb is too wide to reliably click things

I’m not entirely sure what it means enough to give a summary.

The first usage that pops into my mind is when someone has said a silly joke regarding your situation and you want to acknowledge the joke but also move on quickly.

Second usage is someone has suggested something, you want to say you understand but you have a different opinion.

I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about. Do you think that a random party guy in Siberia can just say “Nope, the USSR cannot get any oil now” and nothing would be done and he’d be showered in women and coke? Or… Yeah, what the fuck are you talking about?

Politicians were paid around the middle of the income scale in the Soviet Union.

Unless you’re talking about like the occasional free beer or taxi ride for competently administering your job, which I gotta tell you, however much you think Communist party members did it… Like, have you had a job and talked to your boss and their inter-business negotiations? Holy shit

This would be a terrible meme to read while on acid and nangs

I’ve had quite a few people say I’ve been brainwashed by Chinese or soviet propaganda, a thing I do not encounter often, and then slowly explain the most bog standard white Australian nationalist narrative to me. I wish I was better at confrontational social situations

I wish I had more time :(

Rocks are dialectical when they bash against one another, just as I bash my head against every other leftist.
