I married her.

Say it then. Do you want Kamala or Trump to be president?

You are entirely missing pragmatism my friend. It’s tragically important.

False. It’s too late. We’re a month away from the election. Vote Kamala, the lesser evil, then join the Bernie campaign or the DSA to make some real change over the next 4 years. Now is pragmatically not the time for such battles. Know when to fold em.

There’s no mental gymnastics to flipping that switch real quick, then fighting the real fight. It’s you who’s doing gymnastics trying to wrongly convince folks not to. The length of your post alone proves the gymnastics.

Yes you absolutely should. If you can effortlessly vote for the lesser evil in a way that doesn’t take anything away from the other fight, just do it real quick. Any argument to the contrary is accelerationism.

If you are an accelerationist, then get bent, you’re wrong.

Absolutely. But you should also flip that switch real quick before getting to work fighting it. Just in case.

That’s not a definition of middle class at all. If you live in your car you’re lower / poverty class.

While I don’t think you’re wrong, they are talking about different things. One is how you’re doing despite being working class. Are you a making it? Keeping your head above water? A dentist or engineer making $250k+? Do you struggle to eat or clean yourself every day?

The other is how do you make your money. Do you work for it or do you exploit for it. Were you simply born into it?

People see themselves through a bias filter. Doesn’t make it true. People don’t like to call themselves lower class even when they are. Especially when they were probably raised middle class, because that paints a picture of failure.

If you struggle with rent or groceries you are lower class. If you’re making minimum wage you’re lower class.

If you struggle to pay rent or buy groceries you’re lower class.

There’s a middle class. They are the ones that don’t need the assistance.

The vast majority of the lower class however cling on to defining themselves as middle class for some reason.

The steam deck was lower end hardware when it came out. It’s natural for it to lose support right about now.

What are you talking about? I take hour long video game breaks and nap breaks in addition to lunch. I probably actually code for like 3 hours a day, but I get more done in those 3 hours after charging up than if I’d sit there staring at code for 3 hours.

What’s funny is when I space out looking at my other monitor folks in the meeting just assume I’m working.

I schedule an hour for lunch and play video games during meetings.

It’s actually really awesome and truly helps with my work.

Why?
