Well there’s a dark and depressing thought.

It is but it makes me sad that artists have to do that now or else get immediately accused of AI.

Not mad at the artists or at the people who can’t tell what’s AI or not. Just, fuck AI lol.

Well, bad food and shitty coffee lol. But actually, they were bought out by an American company years ago (taco bell I think?) and keep portraying themselves as this great Canadian company. It’s just gross and I try not to purchase from shitty companies.

Also, as a general rule because I am lucky enough to live in a town full of great coffee shops, I just prefer local.

Government like the ones in Alberta are actively and very intentionally working to privatize health care so they would never go for this.

I mean, I was boycotting them already but I’ll boycott them harder.

Not the types of places I’m talking about, but yes I run a grassroots organization, volunteer with several others and have also volunteered at bigger non-profits for many years. I can see where you’re coming from at non-profit orgs but when you’re in a completely volunteer run organization, depending on what it is, it’s absolutely a different environment. Yes, there’s always interpersonal conflict, but you move on because you have to. And of course there’s burnout but that’s why you take breaks.

As foe the mental health thing, its the only thing that pulled me out of a deep depression and I have other friends that have said the same. If it’s not right for you, it’s not right for you, but for some people it works.

You know where you can find people who generally don’t suck and are less likely to be shallow capitalist boogers? Organizing spaces. Find someone doing something good locally. Get into social spaces that are “woke” where people are awesome and accommodating to mental health concerns and generally just want to make the world a better place. Importantly, make sure you find local folks and get out of the internet a bit.

It’s getting two birds stoned at once, you do something good in this world that is, for the most part, going to shit, and you also gain friends, make nice memories, and hopefully start to heal.

If y’all don’t wanna know me, don’t follow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Because people with tourettes also have right to be content creators if they want to be?

I used to mix them because coke was too sugary and coke zero doesnt taste very good

Omg lol when you took the swing to bad neighbours I was like “yeah Alberta is bad” then I read the next sentence and I was like oh yeah fuck.

That is such a poorly written heading I felt like I was having a seizure.

Three Israeli citizens facing conscription into the Israel Defense Forces have been granted the right to reapply for protection visas in Australia, after a government tribunal found they held a genuine fear they would be forced to break international humanitarian law in Gaza.

I’ve only ever heard it used by comedians explaining how knowing the difference makes you sound like a pedophile, so I must be seeing the right crowd.

I block ads on pretty well everything, but my IG algo has me down pat. I actually jokingly blame it for my leftist radicalization (though really, that started when I first listened to Shakira sing about corrupt capitalists when I was like 6 years old).

This moment may honestly be one of the only great things that came out of the pandemic.

Dementia patients are known to do this because, you know, dementia. It’s actually really sad.
