Aww thanks. What’s really cool is I get to tell the story pretty often. When people find out I’m vegetarian (I don’t advertise it but it comes up when ordering food or being offered food) they often question me about it - oh how long have you been vegetarian? - and I get to tell the story about how I’ve been a fucking anarchist since I was 4. When people find out my parents weren’t vegetarians too they lose their minds that a 4 year old could understand morals and ethics…
I never got diagnosed, my best friend since I was 1 who worked with autistic people diagnosed me in my mid 20s and I was very offended. Then a whole bunch of life crisis stuff happened in my mid 30s and I looked into it for real this time, took a bunch of online tests out of curiosity and there it was, autistic. It explains so much of what’s “wrong” with me and why I can’t just be like everyone else.
I’m female so a lot of shit just gets swept under the rug especially growing up in the 90s where females can’t have neurodivergence it’s a disruptive rich white boy problem (in america).
Given the timeline america is on I don’t want an official diagnosis, it won’t give me anything but more trouble. And I’d have to pay handsomely for the pleasure of opening myself up to discrimination and worse.
First time I have proper memories was nursery so 3-4 I remember standing off by the side watching all the other kids wondering why they were able to have fun so easily.
Relatable. This sounds like autism to me. My limited early memories (not the first) are this way too. Felt like an outsider my entire life, still do.
My earliest memory is coincidentally the same time I became vegetarian.
I was about 4, we just got a new puppy. I was eating a hot dog outside, it was late spring or maybe summer and my family was grilling in the backyard. I look at my dog, I look at my hot dog (knowing it was beef, not an actual dog), I look back at my dog, back at the hot dog, and I remember distinctly thinking this:
I’m not going to eat my dog so why would I eat a cow? Why are cows ok to eat but dogs aren’t? That’s it I’m not eating this ever again. Or any animal.
And in that moment I not only became a vegetarian but an anarchist as well, realizing that hierarchy is a bullshit concept at the ripe old age of 4. I was a weird fucking kid. Both parents ate meat, and my family tried to force me to eat animals for a number of years until they gave up.
Ya he needs one of those knife missles we usually reserve for “terrorists”
I saw your other comment after I made this one. You bring up valid points. I think we should throw the whole country out and start over personally.
The defense has the right to pick half the jury - and defense lawyers are usually very serious about defending their clients and getting the best possible outcome. They’re going to pick the most favorable jurists they can.
IMO he got over charged and they state is gonna learn the hard way that their strategy of making an example of him will backfire.
If that happens there will be a whole lot of voting by bullet
Drunk on boot
Love that
You know. I’ve been having a hard time with both the official story and the that’s not the real shooter theory.
Your theory is a third one I haven’t thought of before. He is the shooter but they faked how they found him to protect their secret surveillance capabilities from being reported on. Maybe illegal maybe not, but probably tech they don’t want the public knowing about.
This actually sounds most plausible to me.
No he got NY terrorism charges and murder charges in NY and federally and then federal gun charges iirc
School shooters should be getting hit with terrorism charges
My dad was murdered by our healthcare system. It’s not extremism, it’s payback.
The outlet for my rage will be at the end of a barrel of a gun, but it’s not time yet.
I’m not silencing myself for others comfort. Don’t like it? Block me.
There is a need for a casual space that isn't enshittified by corporate interests like Reddit, and usable by mainstream people who don't use Arch btw.
That’s your opinion. in my opinion, what we need most is a space for actual free speech, uncomfortable and unpopular (for the elites) speech, because everywhere else on the internet is moderated to all hell and owned by capitalists. We need an anti capitalist space. Lemmy is the only one I know of so far that makes that possible. Mainstream people have the entire fucking internet why do they need a space that actually allows real leftist thought and expression?
I am banned on every single corporate owned social media network for being anti capitalist, anti imperialist, and anti fascist.
I no longer work in the trades other than occasional side work because I hurt my hand/wrist/arm but I miss it :( I’ve done some really cool really fucking insane shit for work that I never in a million years thought I’d do.
I’ve done office work too but not as cool. Not even close.
Fucking trump and his followers staged a fucking insurrection and it took four years and the charges essentially thrown out when he won this election. They want this guy memory holed ASAP because he has genuine public support and the elites are terrified we vastly outnumber them and we’re well armed. Trump likes to say he can shoot someone in the middle of fifth avenue and get away with it, and figuratively so far he has. Let’s see what Luigi can get away with. The trumped up charges are in his favor IMO. Too high of a standard to meet.
I support him, but you can be tried at the state and federal level for the same crime. You can’t be charged twice for the same crime at the same level.
This is so bad in so many ways.
One, conflating Judaism with Zionism. Don’t play into Israel’s hand on that.
Two, the hardest of the hardcore zionists are of the Christian variety and are just using Jews to get Jesus to return, they don’t care at all about Jews.
Three, this is awful AI art. God awful. There’s 8 candles on a menorah and one in the center that lights them all (9 total).
