If you have any to spare, give your money directly to the victims of capitalism: homeless people.

Most charities under capitalism are an excuse to overpay MBA board members with your donation dollars and then brag about being on that board in capitalist circles. Most corporate drives are a way for those corporations to lower their own tax bill on your dime. Most things that need charity under capitalism are glaring reminders of what parts of society capitalist greed leaves out in the cold to starve.

If the homeless spend it on liquor, good for them, a slight reprieve and numbing of the pain our society inflicts on them 24/7 for the crime of being sub-optimal capital batteries.

And if you won’t do that because you won’t get a receipt from the homeless human beings to write your donation off on your own taxes, starving the commons of revenue, then fuck you, that isn’t charity. Charity is giving with no expectation of return, save a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

There’s a name for giving money and expecting something tangible back in return like a tax break: a transaction.

Bless you.

Please stop the ride, I want off

“Good News, Everyone!”

I would like to sell my soul in exchange for dominion over the Earth!

"Sorry dude… not with that soul.

Best I can do is assistant manager at the Arby’s down the street. I’ll even throw in some heroin, you’re gonna need it."

I don’t know why, but his delivery of “this is, as they say, ‘your party’” has stayed in my head from this scene since it came out, and I’ve emulated that response in conversation a lot over the years.

I Also enjoyed his work in the Wes Anderson verse. RIP darling.

I take great solace in going to the Neoliberal attempts at communities here and finding them to be ghost towns.

Stands to reason, as most people are here literally fleeing capitalist greed rot. Im glad most neolibs trusted the free hand of the market and are probably still on Reddit for Spez to fuck with as he wishes.

Republicans are bastards, but Neoliberals are the constant, painful reminder that we once had a pro-labor party in the US pre-Reagan, and they betrayed us to take the oligarch money along with Republicans.

The reason it works every time is simple, and quite pathetic for those it works on:

Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody’s gonna die.

Come watch TV?

The game that was meant to teach you that capitalists aren’t your friends and the game is rigged.

Now you can purchase 87,000 cutesy themes of it. Collect the whole set! Talk about woosh.

Apparently people just want to burn.

Here in the US, grocery stores of the same chain with the same corporate are all arranged wildly differently.

I’ve always found it funny, because they’ll move it again next year, and its pointless. Self-important supervisors changing stuff to feel important. Somebody thought it was important 🤣

If my paycheck makes me go ‘meh’ why in the hell should my work not say the same?

You’ll find no shortage of people willing to take it up the ass with a smile every single day for 100k a year.

Capitalist’s malfunction is that they want it both ways though. No money, only work!

At least they’re in the “humans find you cute/cuddly looking, so we’ll breed you in captivity for our perverse amusement” club.

We destroy bulldoze ecosystems with abandon when that isn’t the case,

Humanity: the worst thing to happen to Earth since the Yucatán Asteroid.

Elephants are herbivores as well. It doesn’t make them subject to significantly smaller predators. An elephant simply existing and moving around would be enough to stop/injure/kill a great deal of predators, most of which don’t even try because they know they’d lose.

I don’t believe a cow would remain stationary if pack of Chickens started picking at its legs, and the act of moving/walking/running away in a crowd of attacking chickens would likely injure and kill chickens in the process. The difference in scale is just too great.

Plus a cow under attack would likely just run away. And cows are a lot faster than chickens, look it up.

I feel like a cow just reacting to that, not even trying to fight back, just reacting to the pain, would just lead to chickens getting kicked and trampled to death.

Plus cows are a lot faster than chickens.

The problem is, in the US, both the employer and prospective employee are doing a dance of lies, and employers are always more practiced, more enthusiastic, and less hesitant liars.

They genuinely see their lying as somehow noble. The same way they view their greed “rational self-interest.”

"Mushrooms: I’m partial to baby bella mushrooms for this recipe, but just about any variety or combination of mushrooms will work in this recipe. Steak: I recommend flank steak, but any stir-fry-friendly cut of steak will do. Be sure to thinly-slice the steak against the grain so that it will be nice and tender. (Or you can opt to make beef stroganoff with ground beef instead, if you prefer.) Sauce Ingredients: Butter, onion, garlic, white wine, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, flour and plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream) are the ingredients used to make classic beef stroganoff sauce. If you prefer not to cook with wine, feel free to just add in a little extra beef stock instead. Egg Noodles: I always grew up eating stroganoff served over egg noodles, but rice, polenta, quinoa, zoodles or any other kind of noodles would also be delicious. Garnishes: Finally, feel free to sprinkle on some chopped fresh parsley as a colorful garnish. Plus I always like to add an extra twist of black pepper too.

Cook the noodles: First, heat the water for your pasta to cook, then cook the pasta until al dente and drain. (I recommend adding the pasta at the same that that you add in the beef stock in Step 4 for optimal timing.) Sauté the steak: While the pasta water is heating, sauté the steak in a single layer (you may need to do this in two batches) until browned, then transfer to a clean plate. Sauté the veggies: Next, in that same pan, sauté the onions, mushrooms and garlic until browned. Then we will add in some wine to deglaze and lift up all of those flavorful brown bits that are stuck to the bottom of the pan. Finish the sauce: And while the wine is deglazing the pan, we’ll whisk together the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce and flour. Then pour the mixture into the sauté pan and let it simmer for a bit, add in the steak and Greek yogurt, and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve: Then serve it up nice and hot over noodles, rice or poleta, sprinkled with a bit of parsley if you would like, and enjoy!"

Thanks to these sacred texts, You too now understand beef stroganoff my child.

Now, return the world reborn!

My money’s on beef.

No amount of Chickens could successfully take a cow without help.

Also, neither works without a side starch like garlic bread.

Yay Random stuff!
