Say it then. Do you want Kamala or Trump to be president?

Like I said, their little ceremonies.

You are entirely missing pragmatism my friend. It’s tragically important.

False. It’s too late. We’re a month away from the election. Vote Kamala, the lesser evil, then join the Bernie campaign or the DSA to make some real change over the next 4 years. Now is pragmatically not the time for such battles. Know when to fold em.

There’s no mental gymnastics to flipping that switch real quick, then fighting the real fight. It’s you who’s doing gymnastics trying to wrongly convince folks not to. The length of your post alone proves the gymnastics.

Yes you absolutely should. If you can effortlessly vote for the lesser evil in a way that doesn’t take anything away from the other fight, just do it real quick. Any argument to the contrary is accelerationism.

If you are an accelerationist, then get bent, you’re wrong.

Absolutely. But you should also flip that switch real quick before getting to work fighting it. Just in case.

I’ll go out on a little limb, it might be sales specific. My company is 100% work from home. All the engineers and product and design work remote, maybe come into the office once a week just because.

The sales team however is strongly encouraged to come in as much as possible. I think it’s a morale thing. Sales teams become these weird cults, maybe necessarily. It’s really hard to pick up the phone and make a call when you’ve been rejected 5 times in a row. The teams little ceremonies are designed to help push through that.

That’s not a definition of middle class at all. If you live in your car you’re lower / poverty class.

While I don’t think you’re wrong, they are talking about different things. One is how you’re doing despite being working class. Are you a making it? Keeping your head above water? A dentist or engineer making $250k+? Do you struggle to eat or clean yourself every day?

The other is how do you make your money. Do you work for it or do you exploit for it. Were you simply born into it?

People see themselves through a bias filter. Doesn’t make it true. People don’t like to call themselves lower class even when they are. Especially when they were probably raised middle class, because that paints a picture of failure.

If you struggle with rent or groceries you are lower class. If you’re making minimum wage you’re lower class.

If you struggle to pay rent or buy groceries you’re lower class.

There’s a middle class. They are the ones that don’t need the assistance.

The vast majority of the lower class however cling on to defining themselves as middle class for some reason.

I just hate all their separate OSes. I’d buy an iPad pro if it ran osx. I’d buy this thing if it ran osx. I’m not buying a powerful $3k computer that can only run apps.

Fuck oncoming drivers, blind them more.

Because I’m a browser and I can’t read typescript.

To think you wonder why you don’t get invited to parties.
