Yes, libre in French and Spanish mean free, but specifically as in freedom/independence and not cost (gratuite/gratis).

I followed your advice, I put my life savings on disposable vapes. I hope it pays off.

What if I’m already hopelessly addicted to it?

For me, it’s rarely ever furries. Usually it’s the waifu posts that get the hammer from me, mostly because I scroll this thing in public and around people I know.

Oh, absolutely. I’d happily piss on his grave. Even then, he was a shithead who, at least, had to pretend to be decent. We don’t even have that anymore.

We’d probably be doing the Venezuela shit still, but with a little less explosions and a little more puppeteering to keep the visible violence down.

“Most lethal” country, and all that.

I wish we had politicians who weren’t cartoonishly evil and aware of it. Like, Nixon was not a good person, but at least his scandal was something he resigned over… You know?

I don’t think anything could make DJT resign. He’s too much of a man-baby to allow it without a full blown tantrum and insurrection calling, probably.

Ah. That was back in like 2011, when Donald Trump was more “rich guy on TV” and less “fascism catalyst”. DT was definitely still a creep and a POS back then too, but at the very least you could replace his name in the song with any famous three-syllable rich slob and it probably still works.

Mac Miller? Didn’t he go on TV and call him a racist, dumbass, and a greedy bastard?

The state ended up overturning the denial, and the insurance company was forced to pay for his pain treatments. It took me 9 months to find another 9-5 job, but it was worth it.

There are certainly heroes and champions among the common folk. You are one.

You beat me to it. Fortunately, I don’t the majority of the MAGA base can afford to do it too often, so we just need to ramp up the intensity and frequency.

We REALLY need ICE to hit up a white MAGA 2A champion’s house, kick down the door with no warrant, and immediately get peppered by the gun nuts inside.

Pleaaaaase. We need it so bad. I want them to realize that the tyranny to be resisted with arms is right in front of their faces.

I had to do some reading. Here, to save you time:

Damn, they were even pushing the food pyramid back then?

Yeah, there’s definitely an upper limit to the growth of hunter-gatherers á la the classic ‘wolf overpopulation’ example. That being said… Agriculture…

Yeah, I admit you’re just being reasonable. But I hope you can understand where the outrage stems from too. I was definitely a bit cranky when I responded, but I do feel as though “make a list” is such a common response to executive dysfunction that it feels as though it amounts to “achieve the end goal,” especially because executive dysfunction makes even small goals feel like giant hurdles.

Yeah… All the responses to that Twitter post were in defense of ICE… Incredible.

Yeah, I would say they are intricate (lots of sections and moving parts) but not complex (hard to comprehend). Like, I think with the right manual and some time I could learn to fix it, but I’m never going to do the same with, say, a helicopter.

telling a person in a wheelchair to just stand up and telling people with dyslexia just read what’s on the paper

Have you ever considered that there are actually cases where people in wheelchairs regain partial motor function in their legs by going through rigorous physical therapy and training the muscles to bear weight again? It’s on the less common side, but it applies to some folks.

Additionally, a good portion of children with dyslexia grow out of it as their ability to process text develops over time, through constant reading.

I know these situations are much larger in magnitude, but can’t you see how a solution for some is not a good suggestion for others? If I told someone with dyslexia to read more, odds are they will be irritated, even if it might be their solution.

Suggesting a list for those with executive dysfunction may be a reasonable thing, objectively, but it can come off as uninvolved or ignorant for someone who has tried to utilize lists hundreds (if not thousands) of times in their life. I think it would be better received if you suggested writing one or two tasks down at a time, at least. A list of two items is hardly a list and is more approachable, and if it doesn’t work for someone then it doesn’t feel like much of a commitment/time waste.

I get that the hostile responses feel bad… But wouldn’t you also feel bad if you were struggling with anxiety and someone told you to “just relax”? At the very least they should suggest a means to relax and not just… Tell you to.

Have some empathy for the frustrated and suggest a means of setting and working towards goals without downright suggesting a list, maybe.
