They are mostly all careerists who focus on who’s “turn” it is while they are one foot in the grave. Its a major issue on why we have the current situation.

The fact that hold onto power they are either unwilling or too scared to use is infuriating.

Living in an area with very hard water, yes.

At least on android I was able to just add a link to the home screen in Firefox.

Which, funny enough, is exactly what Nazis want.

Lets be honest, most of the people who get stiff when looking at guns support this. They were always going to bend over for authoritarians because if authoritarians took over the government they were going to be right wing.

Republicans did the same, both “legally dubious” and blatantly illegal.

There are a lot of things they can do, but also if they are breaking the law and blatantly ignoring the constitution I would argue basically anything is on the table to stop this, even if it is “extra legal” or whatever.

Because if they don’t the entire system of laws and rules and everything is fucked beyond repair.

Stop with your moral grandstanding. Harm reduction is a thing. Both are bad options, but even assuming she wouldn’t have been swayed things would still have been better than they are now. You can do your protest vote in the primary if you want, but those short-sighted actions in the general is how fascism has won.

Regardless, it really just feels like you decided to fuck over minority groups in the US while also making things worse for the Palestinians. Trump is gearing up to start WW3 and the only reason I think they aren’t going to nuke Gaza is because they want the land. Not that conventional weapons can’t do the same amount of damage.

Meanwhile, you throw women, immigrants, and trans people under the bus because you wanted to feel smug about something. Between wondering if I will be able to maintain rights, or even life, in the next 4 years on top of them literally tearing the government apart and doing damage that will take decades to fix, if it even can be fixed, I don’t see things getting back to even how they were a year ago in my lifetime, even if I manage to get to an old age.

I can only do what I can, and I can’t fight for people in another country when I’m worried about what is happening domestically. My focus has to be making sure my friends and I are safe. I am exhausted and have no energy left to spare for the Palestinians.

I hate that I have to make that decision, but people like you forced it on me. We told all of you this would happen, and you did not care. I can’t help Palestinians if I get arrested for existing or just murdered in the street.

They want to classify all trans people as porn, just for existing in public, and then execute “pornographers”, which will largely just be queer people they just arbitrarily classified as porn. It’s literally what the Nazis did.

So I really have no sympathy left. Honestly, I’m pretty sure much of the people who refused to vote over Gaza likely just fell for a right wing campaign to split the left. If so, it worked and you fell for it. The people who aren’t Trump supporters and didn’t vote for Harris are short sighted fucking idiots.

I have no more energy to coddle people like you and if me calling you out for stupidity for letting fascism win “pushes” you to the far right, then you never actually had any principals.

Ah yes. Feel smug about your moral victory of refusing to vote for Harris while Trump glasses Gaza and throws people into concentration camps at home.

I hate what has been and is happening to the Palestinians. But as a member of a targeted group I do not have any energy left to try any help them while trying to get myself and my friends to safty. As I tried to tell idiots would happen.

Also, Harris could have been swayed by public opinion. Trump cannot.

The Nazis were also extremely incompetent when I came to stuff like this. Hitler had generals scrambling behind his back to produce their best weapon, but he kept finding out and making them stop along with tons of other micromanaging.

Trump is an idiot and so is musk. Most business people are short sighted and fascists even more. They also may be high on their own farts and think the system won’t collapse with them “in charge” like a toddler left in s room full of candles and napalm.

Not saying that foreign powers aren’t loving this, but they don’t have to have control over it.

I use to want one. I was following news for them as electric cars were a bit of a hyper focus for me at the time.

My next car will very likely be full electric and there is no way I will own a Tesla now. I’m not even sure I would get one at this point if musk was no longer associated with it.

He has done everything he can to alienate the actual consumers of Tesla.

They can try, but its hard to band stuff that’s decentralized like that. All they realistically could do is prevent companies and organizations based in the us from federating, or federating with anything outside.

Good luck with that.

I hate a lot of people for different reasons.

I hate the people who voted for him, but they are not the majority.

I hate the people who stayed home. I get it. Harris had issues. But so many were saying they didn’t want it vote for her because of Gaza. Now, Gaza will get glassed while we have so many more problems at home.

Personally, I don’t care if it seems selfish, I do not have the capacity to care about Gaza anymore. The only chance we had was convincing Harris. Now I’m too worried about what will happen to me and my friends as queer people.

And that’s before we get to the general economic issues. Shit is about to get really desperate for everyone.

So many of us tried to get those people to see. I’m positive much of the Gaza stance was being pushed by the right to split the left. We’ll it worked. They fell for it. Now we have even more issues.

I can not say this with any more virtiol: fuck anyone who didn’t vote for Harris, regardless of the reason, but especially if it was an active decision because of Gaza. You both actively made things worse for Gaza and doomed us all.

You wanted shortsighted smug feel goods about taking a moral high ground. In doing so, you paved the way for fascism and laid down the fucking red carpet.

If these people volunteer and we end up having elections again it could solve the problem…

It wouldn’t be productive, but I’ve been thinking of texting some things at my mom. She hasn’t been hostler to me since I came out, but also not accepting with misgendering and dead naming.

I know she voted for him before, and I’m pretty sure she did this time. With the way things are going I will probably never see her again. I want her to know why.

As a queer person I don’t really care at this point if China or Russia is tracking me. They aren’t the ones who are currently stripping me and others of rights and so many other things.

I don’t trust any governments on this front, but the government I live under is way more of a concern.

The problem is for organizations it’s harder to leave because that is where the people you want to reach are. That’s the only reason any org or company is on social media in the first place. If they leave too soon they risk too many people not seeing the things they send out to the community.

It’s more an individual thing because so many people just have social inertia and haven’t left since everyone they know is already there. The first to leave have to decide if they want to juggle using another platform to keep connections or cut off connections by abandoning the established platform.

I take Adderall (generic) for ADHD and it just makes my brain not feel “numb” and also helps me not feel quite as exhausted as I had been for decades before I got medication.

It helps regulate my mood, executive function, etc.

Right now it’s not working quite as well as normal since the last week or so has had a lot of stresses on top of the political anxiety of being a queer woman, but having been in this state before medication I would be useless if I didn’t have it.

Same thing happened after the election for a week or so and I had to ration during that time and I got a stark reminder how poorly depression and ADHD go together.
