I'd set it up as a death match where they are all dropped into different parts of an island and have to survive with what they can find

we’re trying to fucking do better and the people who maybe could do better for us are being ratfucked by hostile foreign governments who always suspiciously support Republicans.

there's tons of democrats loading up on AIPAC money

Sounds like you're the one with the cult-like devotion, but sure whatever you say officer

They clearly revel in “dunking on libs” by chain downvoting and harassing people when they say things that the hexbear hive mind disagrees with. And yet always claim innocence when their obvious brigading is called out, as you are currently doing.

They don't even have down votes turned on, unless you're saying that their users are going out of their way to make alt accounts specifically to downvote.

This looks like projection as you are the one who seems to think that down votes are some shield against wrong think and they don't seem to care about them at all.

It's actually more like assembly line work, but with some applied engineering knowledge because you're sometimes needing to solder stuff, correct physical defects and program machines. At one point I was thinking to jump ship and become a licensed electrician, but it's hard to make time to do that without a certain payout.

My original issue was with the whole " food is cheaper than ever**" * only if you assume that everyone's wages have uniformly gone up 50% in 10 years across the whole country

I've worked in electronics assembly for years, and I have a math undergrad. Maybe I could get a masters and teach? but that seems like a lot of investment for dubious payout.

It's super cool transitioning so I can get paid less at work (and find it way harder to get hired at jobs I'm actually qualified for) and then told I should educate myself when I complain about it online. Are bootstraps what my landlord uses to raise rent $500/year?

I already have several, I'm not working at one of them right now!

I am dialing back my posting energy 25%, it's the best I can do until my caffeine wears off.

Are my posts that bad that they cause actual pain? I had no idea I was this powerful, sorry.

I'm sorry if I've been making you feel attacked, but people use the world broadly so that's how I took your meaning in the original context. I'm not trying to goad you and I'll disengage after this.

I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, but I'm just saying my experience has been that if you express any kind of left position which falls outside of liberal media orthodoxy these days you get called a tankie, hence why I took your usage broadly.

You don't need to accuse me of gaslighting you, just a weird way to have a conversation.

That's pretty much where I see the ending for a lot of this, there's a wide variety of useful applications, but hard to capitalize on especially for things that are self contained and not phoning home to some server you need to maintain access to for billing purposes
