OH SHIT

HOLY SHIT I’M CURED

How bout a prescription to stop doom scrolling. I feel like it’d take at least that to get my damn phone out of my hands.

I can see why they’re your ex.

every conservative gets triggered like a sleeper agent hearing the code word to execute their mission, we should probably abandon it and just talk in simple practical terms people can understand.

Hard agree.

The most persuasive people I’ve seen don’t use that word often. They directly link peoples concerns to inequality (unfair taxation and employment laws), climate ( fossil fuel companies) and unregulated abusive businesses such as big tech.

Not at all. Dude upthread isn’t arguing for the status quo, they’re pointing out that it isn’t just slavers that have that mindset. It’s worth reevaluating our own behaviour for inconsistencies.

And fakes. You always need to be on the lookout.

That’s a lot of nudes
