  • Google Calls ICE Agents a Vulnerable Group, Removes ICE-Spotting App ‘Red Dot’

  • Do not let Google escape this, ever. Cancel all payments to them. YouTube Premium, YouTube subscriptions, etc.

  • Pretty please? Does that work?

  • ADHD medication abroad is something I've researched a bit, and my understanding is the USA is actually not the worse by any means. Many countries, including Japan, completely ban stimulants. While the financial burden should be easier with nations with single-payer healthcare, like Canada, there's still often the drug regulation stigmas that the USA has.

    AFAIK it's only the under-developed nations that have easy access to Adderall. I found a rated world map on r/ADHD, but it just broadly rates "legality" and doesn't seem that informative because the USA and Canada is in the friendliest category. Please correct me if you have other info.

  • This is exactly how I felt too. I'm a grown adult. I don't want to be babied. I didn't like being infantilized as a kid or teen, and I won't tolerate it now. I wanted stimulants so I would be able to do better work for other people faster and with less stress on me. Help Me Help You.. Or spit in my face, I guess, and we both suffer.

    (Also, stimulants aren't addictive. That's DEA propaganda. The ADHD brain is just naturally prone to dependency.)

  • We need some wider medicine-decriminalization movement. End the War on Drugs. I was trying to rally one up with a few former IRL friends, but we're in the USA and there's 80 ongoing crisis every moment, so it just didn't seem like something people would have time for.

  • ICE Wants to Build Out a 24/7 Social Media Surveillance Team

    Jump

  • I stopped talking to most people I knew because getting "i don't do politics" as a dead-end to every response is just disheartening.

  • I was a shut-in before the 2024 Election. I figured social spaces there were somewhat immature because the mature people would have jobs and real life involvement. Then I started going outside, and I lost all hope. I'm too stupid for people to be this dumb. (Though I'll admit, social media, algorithmic content, and the AI products probably made people dumber.)

  • Stanford Prison Experiment. Slavery. Lynch mobs. Segregationists. Anti-Feminists. Prison-Industrial Complex. The majority of the country voting for the leader passing out signs that said "MASS DEPORTATIONS". Maybe there's some inherent cruelty to the mainland USA. Maybe there's still too much lead particles in the air. As someone who has never left the mainland, I've seen overwhelming evidence to the "non-empathetic" side. Or, perhaps, the majority of people are passive, and cruelty is most capable of spurring people to action.

  • See I hard coped the "Believe that most people are good" thing, and then I saw numerical data that proves that most people (in the USA), in fact, not only want me to die; but hate most people not like them enough to support a sleazy dictator wanna-be and support a fascist regime, just to destroy the lives of other people who they see as "competition" or "lesser" or "undesirables".

  • the "peaceful means" are We the People rolling over and allowing the alt-right to continue deploying military and Gestapo agents in our streets and communities.

  • what's that? Nintendo's supporting the Department of Homeland Security? I'm enraged. These woke devs putting politics in our games! I'm never buying another Nintendo product again! (If enough of us say it, maybe we can pressure Nintendo to sue?)

  • Trump declares war on the world at UN General Assembly speech

  • I'm genuinely unsure whether having Vance or Trump as president would be worse. I'm not sure whether Trump's incompetency is saving or dooming us more.

  • The animation video clips sure are copyrighted. Ask Ketchum is Nintendo's intellectual property. I've been in fangame spaces for years. The motto is - when the articles come out; the uploads go down.

  • It's a society problem. I grew up in a middle-class suburb. Absolutely no one played outside. Kids were booked from the end of school until dinner with structured "activities" that were just college resume points. None of the 15 kids on my block would have been able to join a game of "soccer" or throw a frisbee, because they were booked full-time from the age of 8. People need to let kids explore and entertain themselves.
