I'm trying y'all. I ask people to come into a conversation with me and consider that there's a different way to discuss this. But he has to decide that's what he wants to do.

@merc248 Understanding retirement and how we all get there is a huge opportunity for bridging the class gap. And instead we discard any opportunity to do that because somebody else has it better than us.

Let me say something that should be obvious. The fact that I'm "rich" doesn't mean I'm gonna be okay with you treating me like shit just because you're not rich. It's more likely that I'll say "no thanks", and you'll remain both angry and uninformed.

Disinformation will always get more viral traffic than the truth, because disinformation comforts people that everything is connected and purposeful, while the truth is coldly random and offers little sense.

Here we go. It never fails. You decided to get wild in the mouth. I said "no thanks". And now you're mad because you thought me having a lot of followers meant I was your punching bag. I keep telling y'all you got the wrong one. Bye.

The bizarre claim that Trump won in 2020 almost sounds like something that could have mushroomed from an “everyone gets a trophy” trend left unchecked, resulting in a blunted ability to process loss. But who are the people who believe the claim, and why?

One thing that is lacking from this discussion is FACTS

I relate to this...the many times I was "blamed" for group dynamics changing bc I was vocal about it adds another layer of distress that ultimately impacts our overall wellbeing. People expect us to be open & educate, should expect others to be open to learning.

It's actually counterrevolutionary to act like the needs of disabled people and workers contradict each other somehow. Most of y'all hardly acknowledge disabled people as existing at all. Your thoery simply isn't grounded in our material reality.

while i focus on rape jokes in this post, the research about bigoted jokes and their impact apply across the board.

what we find funny reflects how we see the world and influences how we *participate* in it
