I can't stop clenching my jaw, and when I try, I just get a cramp in my tongue for some reason. What the hell.
Someone put my Nightwish shirt through the dryer which is bad because I don't want the picture to get damaged more than it has to
my cat got a cold and has been sneeze-choking for most of the day. she was actually crying :(( i rubbed her belly and checked for any obstructions and after a little while she seemed much better. im keeping her as warm as i can now, we're having a weird cold snap atm. also i broke one of our bowls when doing the washing up, and didn't achieve anything productive with my day :( I am a sad sponge.
The URL bar for Chrome ALWAYS mixes up the letters when I type unless I do like one letter every five seconds. I know I'm not just typing wrong because no other place where I put in text does this. If I end up searching for "kni" one more time, I'm going to blow a gasket.
My goddamn bloody fucking dickbag psychiatrist, who just called me for a top-up on his horrible asshole behaviour.
the phrase 'property is theft' is really annoying me suddenly for some reason. i am imagining a parent with a baby, and strangers have come in and taken all the food, diapers, and clothes, and there's nothing the parent can do about it because none of that really belonged to them, and if the baby dies it's just bad luck i guess? and all the edgy twentysomethings who either think this is okay or just like to parrot phrases without thinking about what they mean. i want my brain to let go of this and think about something else but it is not doing so.
@jacktrash this confused me because I always assumed that the "property" referred to in the phrase meant, like, real estate. But I think maybe I just guessed that because I've only heard it repeated by acquaintances who squat. And having checked that "property" doesn't specifically mean land, I now have even less idea what the statement is supposed to mean.
i have an angry suspicion it's kind of like those 'involuntary celibate' assholes who blame their sexual frustration on other people. like, "you are stealing from me by not giving me your stuff." but that's a really uncharitable interpretation and i'm trying not to embrace it too solidly.
Hm. The people I've heard it from have been...well, I'd categorise most of them as "pissed off young anarchists with more ideology than compassion".
Given that I live in Seattle, which is home to an astounding quantity of private school educated, rich-parent kid anarchists, I have a remarkable lack of tolerance for that kind of idiocy.
"Property is theft" is kinda daft, because for 'theft' to be a reasonable concept, property needs to be transferred unwillingly from one person to another. Someone else's property cannot be theft, because that requires you to have property in the first place to be thieved, which in itself constitutes theft. How dare you imply that theft could exist, because that means that you think something "belongs" to you by right! That it is your property? Don't you know that property is theft?
As someone who is friends with an anarchist and is a sort of socialist (not really, I'm leery of going radical anything) I see these anarchic posts and just.... cringe. like. That's not how it works. whyyyyyyyyyy
Yeah, some education about what Anarchism is about would be welcome for that type. Or Communism / Marxism / Socialism, for that matter.
that it took me about four fucking years to realize that i had neglected to mention that my rp blog was a sideblog and then fucking correct it and that that is probs part of why very few people have ever rped with me on it the second part is that it's not for an especially mainstream fandom (you know the guy i have that thread for? norm the genie? that's the guy i rp. yeah...) and the third part is, i dunno... i haven't really set out what my boundaries are (there aren't many, really, just don't trust me with tagging triggers and stuff) and stuff in my rules (which currently are a non-existent page, yeah), so... maybe that would make people anxious 'cause they don't know what stuff i'm up for and not up for i dunno basically, i'm hella adhd and i suck at making my rp blog look appealing to people (but i'm not gonna go for fancy tagging or a fancy theme or whatever. just the basics. which people might not think is cool but... fuck it! it's what works!)
And then there are those who oppose the more far left political theories only for the reasons of "oh sjws are doing it" Their favorite seems to be "communism was already tried and millions died" even when socialism is the one being brought up.
i am having a resurgence of nicotine cravings today. usually i cope with this by losing myself in minecraft, but some of the mods updated or something and it won't run all of a sudden. and i am not coherent to troubleshoot it. so instead of distracting myself with soothing, repetitive pixel tasks, i'm sitting here spending gobs of willpower on not backsliding, and it's making me a very, very grumpy jesse.
re: socialism/communism/etc I asked my dad what he thought of Bernie Sanders because sometimes we agree about things politically but often we don't, but I like to know his opinions. "He's a damn socialist" Oh okay. Is that all? "Yes, socialism is awful and I hate this guy" I paraphrased, but still.
