me, whose internet speed is 500 kbps - 5mbps: 👁️👄👁️

(my vpn is slow as shit, but also my internet, without a vpn, is allegedly 25 mbps)

trust!

I think I asked to record a conversation with some cops and I was told no then, too. I was complaining that my upstairs neighbor had been screaming for six hours straight and had been slamming and breaking things. At night.

They asked why I was cursing and being aggressive towards them (I literally just said it was fucking loud or something) and they told me I should be more sympathetic towards her because she has a mental illness. Okay. She also has a criminal history and she came at me with a knife. She was acting up because she was drunk and part of our lease was no alcohol usage on the property or we’d be evicted immediately. Manager did find a beer can of hers and she was still living there. She nearly destroyed her apartment and mine by flooding it and then refusing to use the fans because she didn’t like it (note that I had the fans on too and I’m autistic so I’m sensitive to loud noise). Point is, there’s mental illness and there’s being a scumbag. She refused treatment too and I’m pretty sure treatment was another condition of living there. They wouldn’t evict anyone for anything serious, but when I slandered them I was threatened with eviction and arrest.

Pretty sure it’s already against the law in Illinois. You can’t film anyone without their consent.

My building’s management was threatening illegal shit to me. I asked if I could record the conversation for my records; manager smiled and said no, that’s against the law.

She was managing a building for severely mentally ill individuals. And was doing horrible things. She threatened me because I called her out on Facebook for not treating bed bugs in the residence of a vulnerable, unnamed individual. Lmao. Said I was violating HIPAA and she would have me arrested. I emailed her the law that states that HIPAA only applies to employees <3

So glad I got out of there. They were massive dicks and were constantly threatening to evict me. While other residents were violent and RACIST (most of the residents were black, they had a white resident that called a CHILD the n word) and they weren’t evicted. I hate this planet.

forget covid - why would you want to risk someone's snot or spit in your food

if i say you might indirectly kiss someone of the same gender, will they mandate masks

i want to be a kbinaut

i survive
this is how
i pet the cat
she say, “meow”

yes! what about the people currently all over the world who are lgbt and live in countries where being lgbt is fucking illegal? what are you doing for them?

yeah, it’s not a fucking joke, it’s spreading and we’re just sitting here complaining about it while it fucking gets worse. abortion rights out the window, lgbt rights out the window. it is already happening here. what’s your alternative?

what are you currently doing for all the children in all the other countries where it isn’t safe to be lgbt? is your plan to take over those countries? what is your plan here now? if we don’t secede, what are we doing? the fascists are winning here. we can leave or we can let them win; we are doing nothing which is letting them win. you can’t save everyone.

like in an abusive relationship, the abused are not responsible for the shitty actions of the abuser. you don’t tell the abused to stay and wait for the abuser to have a change of heart, you get them the hell out of there.

so we allow them to continue to pass bigoted laws? because that’s what’s happening. i’m disabled, unable to work, and lgbt. i’ve got maybe $10 to last me for a month, not enough food stamps to cover food. this shit is scaring me. if i want to move to a progressive country i need to work there; they aren’t accepting people who will drain their resources. they’re killing us. let them kill themselves.

they can move to our progressive country with zero barriers.

i wish the left could just pass a law banning harmful religion

i personally don’t care what you believe nor should freedom of religion go away, but this is exhausting

it’d be nice if we could just split into different countries; tired of dealing with these people. let them have their own fascist christian everyone-that’s-not-a-cishet-white-man-phobic country with zero taxes and fucked up roads and people realizing they have no choice but to hang themselves by their bootstraps when shit hits the fan. the rest of us will have a country where we take care of each other and don’t engage in harmful, childish drama.

you can use wondercide, it kills/repels mosquitoes and tics. it’s safe - only essential oils

unless this is a known upcoming issue, i rarely have any issues using firefox

i want to add - if you need to arm yourself but for some reason cannot have a gun, there are non-lethal weapons and guns out there. not perfect, but definitely better than going completely unarmed. if you are able to workout, that helps too. if you’re unarmed and a fast runner or a good fighter, that again is better than nothing at all.

reddit bros recommend brave, chad fedi users recommend firefox (and its forks)

there are firefox forks that might be safer? tor (overkill?), mullvad browser, and librewolf

if you use macos, there’s also orion

there are a small amount of websites that don’t work properly on firefox… when my phone was being repaired i couldn’t pay my rent on anything that wasn’t chrome >_>

cats when they do something wrong: :3c

and i'm testing the seven seas. arrr! 🏴‍☠️

Friend

“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

i still appreciate a good classic meme

as someone who takes many medications and has had to deal with pharmacy nonsense for years... was this the pharmacist, or were they a pharm tech paid $7.50 an hour? not that that somehow justifies the denial. rather, it makes sense that when someone can get an "easier" position (easier in quotes because i've heard being a pharm tech is really difficult - but again, iirc, it's a job a lot of people can get) that they would end up in this situation where they choose to deny filling someone's medication. i imagine most actual pharmacists won't be denying medication (but it DOES happen, no denying that, just less likely imo).

if this was a pharm tech, i would have demanded to speak with the pharmacist. especially since THEY can decide whether or not i "need" a certain medication. if they won't get the pharmacist, get the walgreen's manager, or just shout for the pharmacist to come to the front. the actual pharmacists can be soooooooo busy, so they could easily be tuning out what's going on at the counter. lots of customers can be frustrated - what do you mean my insurance doesn't cover this? this doesn't look like my normal meds! i'm not paying that price, charge me less! etc etc. so any confrontation going on up front is just a regular part of the job, and can be something you just tune out.

also sharing this info so people know what to do, if they should find themselves in this unfortunate situation.

how about UwUntu

i haven't tried this yet, but here you go: https://kbin.social/m/BotIt

edit: wow major brain fart. you DON'T want bots. i thought this was like "can we not just use bots?" my bad

might go to the gym tomorrow, but honestly hoping i don't unless i feel significantly better. past 2.5 weeks have been rough on my mind and body; feeling super scarily depressed and drained and exhausted, had a massive breakdown this morning. just hoping i can relax as much as possible and be gentle with myself. i know some may say the gym is good for mental health and all that, but for me it can be draining, especially if i'm already feeling low. and with my current level of dysregulation, i might feel more socially anxious/paranoid. if i do feel well enough, though, it'll be good to get back on track with that.

if any linux users would like to try and make me feel better - whyyyyyyyyyyy won't debian 12 boot, grub keeps whining about like 14 failed sectors????? but my ssd should be okay, it's only a year old and macos (mid-2012 macbook pro) is running fine on the other partition???????? i keep reinstalling linux and it just does not care, i tried update-grub and it does not caaaarrreeeeeeeeee

haven't used mineclone2, but i do want to echo minetest

hmm… m/piracy???? 😁

thanks! maybe the books magazine would appreciate this also, if you would like to crosspost. and maybe freemediaheckyeah. i'm modding free for now, and this is definitely welcome there

do not the crab or the shrimp!!!!!!!!!!!!! they do a dancey dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you've heard of beehaw, now get ready for kcaw

I'm chronically ill and I have ADHD. I can't work right now, but I suspect that if I ever get to work, I will probably do a lot of different things over time. Sounds fun. If I had to do the same thing my whole life, I'd be more depressed.

You might do well being self-employed in some way. That way, you have greater flexibility in changing "fields".

To echo @_Rook_, I think therapy would also be useful here. Maybe even some kind of medication adjustment.

nope. BPDmemes... which is just fucking sad because BPD is associated with identity issues including gender identity, so in some sense being transphobic can be ableist in that context as well.

i'm letting it go, they were probably just really dysregulated (as is the nature of this illness). but i did ban them for all of pride month.

however, my friend and i HAVE seen transphobia in the owl house community and we don't understand?????? there are literally multiple trans characters on the show like why would you be transphobic if you're a fan you. walnut

dark developers give me the forbidden kbin apps

kbin has seemed pretty chill so far

they won't

i tried to move my 100k subscriber sub to kbin (i also offered two different chatrooms)

6 came to kbin and people started attacking me for having the sub closed (one person even resorted to transphobia like jesus fucking christ) and being "political" and one person even made their own version of my subreddit

moving is too much work (it's actually not that much work, but since we now need two videos playing at the same time and can only watch those vids for 30 seconds, everything is "too much work"). that's why people are still on facebook, twitter, instagram, and tiktok.

i'm very glad there's an acceptable amount of activity on the "threadiverse" right now... but i just don't have hope that everyone will leave.

THANK YOU ESTONIA, HAPPY PRIDE
