All these people saying that Americans can't protest forget that we literally host hometown hero Luigi. Arguably the best way to get the message across. Needs more consistency, but It's certainly effective.

    Something that fight club didn't mention pertaining to this working generation is that even if you work hard and get promotions, you're likely to just keep up to the cost of living. I started with when a beer was $1 a bottle at the grocery store. 10 years later, I can be making double from 3 or so promotions and beer is now $2 a bottle. Working harder for the same purchasing power. It feels so hopeless and yet, I feel lucky to be in this position considering I have so many friends who are much worse off.

    Man, fuck that. Kids who are young enough to not know any better becomes everyone's problem. Every year when I fly trans-Pacific, I end up sitting next to sick kids. They're too young to practice even polite coughing. It's just open-mouthed germ spreading the entire flight. I've gotten sick every single time. The last time, I ended up coughing so hard that I herniated a disk. Why do I have to be considerate to them and the same consideration isn't afforded to me? If your kid isn't old enough to be in society, don't take them on planes.

    Cmon now. You put a publically advertised forum that gets displayed everywhere and then you gatekeep people based on their perceived gender. There's no way for you to check their gender and let's face it, people are not going to read the rules of every forum they visit, especially for Lemmy. You're being unfair and if you can't see that, then there's no hope for you.
