yes, i was. my city had a pretty decent demonstration. however, most of the people attending were easily identifiable as liberals. they are not my people although allies are necessary. the closest SRA chapter is 3 hours away.

you are right, of course, and normally i do try to be more encouraging and positive, especially to people who are unfamiliar with life beyond capitalism. but i am exhausted. i see the average American has no interest in personal sacrifice for the greater good, and more significantly, they have no support to even retaliate if they wanted to. they are beaten down with debt and the necessity to work to live. i am desperate to do more but the little i am already doing in my community is nowhere near what i should be doing on a larger scale. how do i find people who are doing something? because they aren't the peaceful groups i know in my area of the country.

this is pure insanity lol holy shit. why is this being allowed to continue? i am beyond myself.

no, i don't. i am ready to do many things i am unable to admit to. that doesn't make it a possibility without a network of support and plans beyond my single self. this is going to take a large amount of people willing to coordinate and risk losing their freedoms and potential lives to help save the rest of us.

nobody is going to do shit. we are a nation of pacified slave laborers who aren't starving or dying in large numbers, so the masses can't be bothered to care when they are being saddled with debt. it is maddening we haven't collectively experienced the line being crossed yet. what the fuck is it going to take, people? you are letting them take away your resolve. you are letting fascists win. right now! you wonder how Germany got to where it got? well, here it is, your own version. now you know. it's because nobody stopped it when they fucking should have. now what about us are we going to end up like them too?

i was recently prescribed a life changing medication that has given me the opportunity to have my lifespan return to normal as it is currently reduced, and i am noticing true positive improvement for the first time living with this illness, and i feel like i can start regaining my identity, and my physical and mental wellbeing, and now the president of my country is going to make this already expensive drug even more costly? what am i supposed to do, just stop taking it? what is anyone with a worse condition than me supposed to do for their illness? what about people with severe mental disorders that might be invisible to the public but struggle deeply all the same? this will lead to unnecessary deaths. every time the medical supply is messed with, people die. this needs to be met with more than outrage. Trump is signing a death warrant on ill Americans. who are you willing to sacrifice so you don't have to get involved? because, again, people are going to die.

may she rest in power. our society failed her. we should be ashamed of ourselves for breaking her resolve. it seems she went out with purpose and tried to highlight the suffering of trans people in America. i thank her for thinking of us in her final moments, but she deserved genuine help more than anything.

 

i demand answers lol

nobody can tell you yes or no as it is entirely dependent on variables only you have the most knowledge of. are you aware of the risks and rewards? have you weighed them appropriately? i guess we can help you there but ultimately it won't be age that determines whether or not you should pursue higher education. do it if you want to, but do it for you.. not to get a job, or a career, or anything else.

thanks for letting me know. i just read about it now. damn, that is alarming. at least it did not spread or come into existence.. that is not good.

 

TikTok has become a massive competitor in the ecommerce industry as of late, and their global gross sales within their shop program doubled from 2023 to 2024. TikTok's priority has now shifted towards creators who sell products and even encourages new users to begin their entrepreneurship within TikTok and become their own store. TikTok wants everyone to sell sell sell and that is simply not sustainable. You will eventually have a community of salespeople pitching to each other.

Not only that but TikTok is extremely deceptive and manipulative. Their algorithm dangles success in front of creators and sellers and then pulls it out from under them to keep them on their toes so they generate more and more for TikTok. There are so many independent stores on TikTok who now claim selling on the platform has become their full-time job. That's nooooooooooot good lol.

Their shop is growing bigger, doubling in size every year (same trend from 2022 to 2023), and too many people are relying upon continued success to keep themselves financially stable. When this bubble bursts it's going to be a disaster for these folks.
