the phoenix metro area is; not so much the rest of arizona

i’m so glad i left that shithole

i know that this type of sexual behavior is described on the kinsey scale since i’m op’s exact opposite; but the verbose justification where kinsey was more succinct has my-lady-doth-protest-too-much energy, but with a dash of transphobia.

it’s like our education & welfare systems have been intentionally defunded for decades to keep us in line with our ruling classes’ desires and make us buy into silly groupthink ideas like american exceptionalism; but, of course, that’s the not true since that can only happen in oligarchies like russia or china and, also, could never happen to us, the greatest country that the world has ever seen. /s

I never thought of it as powerful before and I like it! Lol

I used to be on .world also but left partially because of the points you’ve made and switching to .ml has been MUCH better for me.

I’ve been moving from one social media platform to another, since the time of icq & bbs, every time it enshitifies and it’s clear that happens once it becomes centralized enough and w significant financial backing.

.world and .ee are the closest things to that, that exists on the lemmyverse and I hope that they don’t go down the same path.

Not more stoked than I; I’ve never had a busier social life and my asocially autistic ass is still surprised by it each time I get another invite.

I’m aware that it makes people cringe, but it’s so true that I’ve never been more happy; more bottoms than a top could ever ask for… Enough to over come the negativety from all the judgemental or bitter queens.

I wonder if they’ll move Coachella so that they don’t have to see the prisoners forced to mine the lithium in the Salton Sea

i used to struggle to understand why americans refused to see that the ukrainian far right is so empowered until i came to lemmy and see the election results; now i understand that we’ve been punching left for so long that the the right seems reasonable.

it’s telling how the legal system is used to prevent protest to protect rights and the few remaining & needful natural resources in an era where we know that climate change is upon us and even more telling about how little attention it gets from the american public.

– thus making the escape so much better when it happens. lol

i wonder how long it will take to recover once the full force of american capital is used to make recovery a priority and i dread hearing about the humanitarian fallout from doing so.

and the democrats will continue to help

have you ever wondered why republicans don’t need a super-majorities or why dems give a rats ass about dino where republicans dont every-single-time?

is that not the definition of a rigged game?

democrats had full control from 1993–1995, 2009–2011, 2021–2023 and majority control from 2011-2015 & 2023-2024. in other words: 12 years of complete or majority control out of the last 33 years.

every single time their agenda was thwarted by one or two lone dissenters within their caucuses; where republicans completely steamrolled over their own dissenters.

you owe it yourself to read up on american political history and; if you did; you would learn that every time they’ve had control of all 3 branches of government; they’ve squandered it by letting a one or 2 democrats derail all of their plans, meanwhile republicans steamroll over their own dissenters every time they’re in control.

you’d start to see that this pattern keeps happening again and again.

experts are trying to convince americans to respond, but we aren’t.

like today’s democrats, fdr ignored the constructive criticisms that would have prevented such a painful episode; the democrats back then are more alike than unlike to the democrats of today.
