As someone in that group, there’s a huge difference between doing well on paper and actually doing well. My peers and I are worried about losing our jobs, and there’s a likelihood we won’t be seeing a significant portion of our paychecks due to the economic hits from the tariffs. Sure, my net worth is technically higher since last year, but that doesn’t mean much when you’re 30 years from retirement. I can’t just infinite money glitch my 401k by taking out loans like billionaires can with their net worth.

I realize that I’m a lot better off than most, but I only bring this up to point out that even people who aren’t poor are also feeling plenty of negative economic pressure as well.

I got to go as Enid from Wednesday and was super happy! It was my first Halloween post-transition, and I had a great time.

Living in the US, it certainly feels like the GOP is a hostile foreign invader holding us all hostage.

I think given it’s a high angle light, it’s cut off at the bottom of the stage

Oh, I absolutely did. He got pretty fed up and left me alone pretty quickly when he realized I wasn’t going to jerk him off over his basic-bitch G80.

Clearly you’ve never owned a car with a broken speedometer cable, or bad ground for the instrument cluster. Or a GM vehicle in the late 90s with the stepper motor issues that caused your cluster to throw a rave when they went bad. They don’t dissappear, but they certainly don’t work properly.

It’s so real, especially early in transition. I remember chatting with a coworker via Teams about cars, and he was being really weird about trying to flex his car, getting really upset I wasn’t fawning over it, and being extremely dismissive of basically every opinion I had. I kept thinking to myself “wtf is this guy’s problem?” because I had literally never interacted with a person so condescending when talking to me about cars.

Mind you, I’m an automotive engineer, working for an automotive company, who has been racing since before I got my license. I would say I’m decently knowledgeable about cars.

It wasn’t until he said “There goes silly hovercat with her silly opinions again” that I realized “Oh shit, he’s talking to me like that because I’m a woman”. It was incredibly affirming, but definitely some mixed feelings about the whole thing.

Can you spot the antichrist?

I like the theory that they are literally possessed by demons and it actively rots them at an accelerated rate.

Then get the skirt to make you cuter :3

This is something that hit me like a ton of bricks after living abroad for a bit. It definitely made me think a lot about how much more pleasant things are when people are at least marginally considerate of others, and just how little some people seem to do it in the US.

Zap carry ftw

I dunno, I guess I see it somewhat from the perspective of there being ways to educate people and make change, whereas if people were “just like that” it’d truly be a lost cause.

The reality is that you have a LOT of people who are ignorant, willfully or otherwise, of the atrocities that are going on. It’s easy to hate on them, but also recognizing that the majority of people just aren’t that curious or aware of anything outside their little bubble.

They live in an area where Fox is on every TV in every public place talking about how amazing Dear Leader is and think “Well it’s ‘the news’ so I’m staying well informed”, get a little poll on their phone asking if they approve of Trump, and go on with their day.

I don’t say this to justify any of what’s going on, it’s monstrous and disgusting and vile, but it’s also to give at least some hope that your average person isn’t that vile and has merely been lied to their whole lives.

I can’t tell you how much I feared coming out as trans to people and the backlash I’d receive. Even my backwoods cousins Oklahoma who made a post about “voting for Trump to keep trans pedos out of their kids’ bathrooms” right after the election were shockingly accepting and all that rhetoric went away the moment a trans person wasn’t some abstract concept being demonized by Fox/Newsmax/Reichbart, and was an actual person they knew.

The amount of disinformation out there is horrifying, and so it’s really not surprising that there are still people who support him, simply because they truly have no idea what’s actually going on in the world.

I mean, as long as they’re properly cooked. Raw face is just gross.

And why do you think those people are evil? Because they’re weak. They have to commit all these atrocities to feel strong, because they lack any real strength. Just look at how pathetic ICE officers and their ilk are, happy to beat up and harass unarmed civilians, but the moment they’re even slightly threatened they run away with their tails between their legs.

The demon occupying his meat-suit causes it to rot at an accelerated rate.
