I don't know what that is and don't want to. Please leave me alone.

I did not read this one and consider this harassment. Again, please leave me alone.

Agriculture was a mistake. But not right now, I have lot of hunting and gathering to do

It's pretty much just a GUI for apt+flathub, way cooler that you wrote your own script though :)

Police radio code in certain US cities to request assistance on discovery of a body. Rap slang referencing the same. Sports euphemism wherein a prideful victor requests said body management assistance for a defeated opponent or after a particularly triumphant maneuver. Viral tiktok of a child screaming the digits at a player during a game

And now, whether for a moment or a generation, the reigning funny number.

Like it or not ;)

Can you just leave me alone? Or at least like, quit wielding minority identities as a weapon? I did try to talk around that even though it's kinda fucked up, but now you're going full tribunal talking about I'm "dodging the question". I don't want to engage on that level at all but can't help stating I very much know what life is like for "queer people in right wing areas" and there is no fuckin way you've ever spent a single week actually on the street homeless. Said night first but you never know, the fuck ever that has to do with whether the third party you're so confident speaking for was calling the American government or the American left the real bootlickers in a post about election interference. Talking about "no horse in this race" out here chasing me around on a goddamn horse, coming at me about "vulnerable minorities" and trying to other me at the same damn time, literally confrontational over even the idea that posting can be fun of all things. You fuckin suck and I'm fuckin cold. Genuinely the worst interaction I have had on here to date

My brother in Christ, you're ignoring pretty much all of what I already made my best effort to communicate and this doesn't feel productive or fun. If you're going to rehash the original comment, maybe quote the whole thing instead of just the lines that, out of context, support the point you want to make. I'm here for a conversation, but you're treating it more like a contest and that just makes me want to forfeit. Calling community a privilege "is... a take...". I'm a fuckin bigshot in mine because I have this phone and a car to sleep in. It's the one thing available to literally everyone that can't be bought, sold or taken away and is maintained exclusively through participation. Fuck your fixation on identity too, you have no idea who I am or where I'm coming from or what life is like for the constructs you prop up so glibly to make your point. Community is absolutely available to every one of those people and exactly how they survive those environments. You can find it in a prison and I have. You can find it in a concentration camp and I will. I guarantee I have a much closer relationship with the human beings behind the shallow strawmen you present here than you do and that the kind of "support" you're offering would piss them off. Community is about shared purpose and meeting needs, not performative politics. Ignorance is entirely forgiveable, most things are. Just have to be genuine, well intentioned, and in this together. If you want to see what that's like, try leaving home without your wallet for a while.

As the least confrontational person to say this, can you help me find my way to a better interpretation of that comment? I genuinely cannot see another way to parse it, and I've gone back and tried more than once today. Who are "they" that failed to do shit after J6? The only way I can parse it is as a pretty clear statement everyone with a gun who didn't respond by going out and blowing a maga hat off someone's head is a "bootlicker" for failing to do so, and they're pretty obviously speaking from a comfortable remove

This is honestly too much for me to reply to through a phone, so here's a few poorly articulated bullet points.

Assuming everyone who thinks a state monopoly on violence is bad is against you is idiotic and self defeating. Even on a reread (which I did before replying to you earlier and again just now) I'm pretty confident they're making the equally dumb assertation that there should have been an armed response to the J6 bullshit and that the lack thereof is somehow hypocritical.

It's expensive as hell to move at all, emigration moreso, and anyone able to make it out of here was doing pretty well in the first place to pull that off. Community is pretty much all I've got, and I build that every day through consistent participation. Whether I want to or not, because we need each other. It absolutely takes 'willpower' and has nothing at all to do with luck. That's exactly what makes it happen and the only thing that can.

Re: resentment? Nobody's perfect, said I couldn't help it, their attitude and the criticism coming down from such a privileged position got to me. You have no idea how life changing even the price of dude's plane ticket out itself would be down here. He's the crab who made it out and is kinda being a dick about it, where I'm committed to tipping the bucket if I want to live (solidarity/collective action is the only hope of pulling that off).

You literally said there was no virtue, bravery, or solidarity in staying behind and doing so changed nothing, wish I could quote.

The attempted callout is deeply hypocritical a couple lines after telling me not to make uncharitable assumptions, and I'm not about to dox myself to validate the efforts I make to you. Absolutely working my ass off to get myself and others through this though, despite often failing to do so. The tendency for anyone with the resources to do so to put the Rational Self Interest we're conditioned for above the needs of the many really doesn't help. They're in a much better position to help than I am and chose not to.

Begging, pleading, entreating would all be better words than demanding for whatever the hell it is I'm doing here. Not exactly operating from a position of power. I've turned down opportunities for myself because of the position it would leave my community in more than once, it's what makes me a part of it and what lets me feel like a good person.
