Mood. There was a time I was standing in line at the post office and some haggard looking mother was doing her best to calmly reign in her child who was busy running away from her, screeching and pulling over every display he could reach, and having zero regard for anyone else in the vicinity. I could see her exhaustion and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. I usually just grit my teeth and try to ignore it until I can escape, but this time I cut off the kids path when he got close, said “Stop” in the harshest tone I could muster, and ngl was pretty pleased with myself when he went crying to his mom. I did realize in that moment, tho, that I probably shouldn’t have kids.

Already blocked lemmy.world’s 196. Sad to see Moss make 196 jump ship, but if what’s important to Moss is visibility to as many instances as possible at the expense of user experience, then I don’t think we need that community here anyway. We can always revive ours, or make a new one c:

It’s a great conversation starter

Hahaha, you can call me Weirdy. Unfortunately I am white as hell, but I am at least a woman which should piss off some people to see my uterus in office

Or better yet, buy from Punk with a Camera if you hate Amazon like I do. They have two versions. One like OP’s (Chaos Marine) or T45 Fallout Power Armor

Chaos: https://www.punkwithacamera.com/collections/band-apparel-shirt-sweaters-zip-ups-etc/products/chaos-marine-trans-people-existing-does-nothing-negative-to-your-life-you-cry-baby-bitch-40k-gutter-press

T45: https://www.punkwithacamera.com/products/fallout-t-45-trans-people-existing-does-nothing-negative-to-your-life-you-cry-baby-bitch-40k-gutter-press-1?variant=45783336747258

I feel that, not sending any shade your way. In fact, you’ve inspired me to buy this shirt c: I just make it a point to undermine Amazon every chance I get.

Fwiw, fuck Amazon, buy it from Punk with a Camera

I didn’t interpret their use of the word individualistic as an assertion that those who choose to be child-free are selfish. Selfish has a negative connotation to it that I don’t feel they were going for. I think they were just contrasting that while being a parent requires putting yourself aside and focusing on a different human, being child-free allows a person to focus on their individual goals, whims, what have you.

I also agree with you that there is nothing wrong with a person choosing not to have kids, and there’s a lot of reasons to pick from. For me, those are:

•I have never yearned for motherhood

•I find pregnancy impressive from a biological perspective but at the same time horrific and something I never want to go through

•I am prone to depression which makes it hard for me to care for myself on a consistent basis so I am not going to bring another life into this world only to be too swamped in self-loathing to take care of them

•I detest humanity, we have spent our entire existence as a species ravaging the earth as well as each other and I see no end to it. I hate that realistically I will have to watch people be cruel to each other for the rest of my life and have decided not to create another human who has to trudge through this hellscape which undoubtedly will only be worse off in their future

Have purchased from that shop, they’re legit

All came outta nowhere lightning fast and they kicked Chuck Norris in his cowboy ass

Yes, please, take us too

Ugly Americans. Older (2010-2012) animated comedy series from Comedy Central, follows a social worker based in a futuristic NYC where lots of aliens/monsters/animatonics/etc are now a part of society, his job is to help them with integration to the city, shenanigans ensue. It only got two seasons, aired while I was in high school and has a special place in my memories. Stumbled across it on Paramount+ and promptly binged it all.

Yo. Just saw this in c/Atheism on lemmy.world a minute ago. It was a direct repost except OP left off the last portion of this post about being willing to work. Someone in that repost commented reflecting on how OP had just posted here a couple days ago. I responded to that comment, as did another. A minute later, that whole post got deleted. Came back to look at this post and the only person OP responded to is to the person offering money. Idk, whole thing feels a bit shady. Just felt like I should say this here and let y’all decide for yourselves. Attached a picture of the comment I made to the deleted post to show the post was there.

Yeah, getting weird vibes off this one. Only person OP responded to in the other post was to the commenter offering money, despite a lot of helpful people chiming in. This repost is nearly the same, except he removed the last bit about being willing to work. Hmm…

Right?? Haha, at first I was worried she got stuck in the petals, but I watched her dive in and out of multiple flowers so she’s just a determined little lady c:

There’s a video in this article of the moment, tho you can’t see her hit him. He’s holding the camera and she walks up behind him and clocks him. From the sound of it, the bat was aluminum

I’m probably not the best person to explain the party’s structure because I am just some degen who finally got mad enough at the world to pull out of my depression doomscrolling, but my understanding is that it’s not a party specifically owned/run by unions. Rather, the people running for office must run with the endorsement of at least one labor union, if not more. It was founded sometime in November by 3 people but they are currently working on registering the party and filling out structure, and plan to flesh out platform and policies post-holidays. FWIW, when I popped into the discord to see what was going on, it was like 580 people there, now a couple weeks later it’s at 717. Their goal is to start getting people on ballots at the local levels as soon as possible, ideally challenging unopposed Rep/Dem candidates, and only later after there are many Labor Party candidates in offices nationwide will they try for a presidential nominee. Until then, there are channels for every state so people can organize with their state peers. I recognize that it is a young party and it’s hard to say how things will go, but it feels better to work with them on what the workers in this nation need instead of melting further into my couch while reading yet another headline about Dems not following through and Repubs being sadistic pedophilic billie-sucking fucks.
