Fuck homie, I’m sorry you’re going through that. I saw your post from a few days ago and seeing this post made my stomach drop. I hope you’re doing alright.
I know to some it might be hard to take your mind off it, but maybe just trying to take it easy for a few days will help you see a path forward.
They aren’t having a great time. Like Collatz said, they are just as mad and frustrated as everyone else. They just think Trump is their solution.
There have been plenty of conservatives who have came out in the last 6 months and said “this isn’t what I voted for”. Even fuckin’ Joe Rogen said it.
This isn’t to say that there aren’t conservatives who are giddy at seeing innocent brown people locked up, there are. But I mean, just look at where red votes come from. You think people in the rust belt small towns are having a great time? I wouldn’t think so lol
I took this picture at the Golden Spike national monument in Utah. It’s the place where the east and west railroads met, and completed the transcontinental railroad. It’s a plaque honoring the Chinese who worked on our railroad, and I think it’s great that they’re still doing it.
Side note: while I was there, I mentioned how China built our country and still is. Park ranger was NOT happy with my comment lmfao
lmfao Funnily enough, back on my .ee account, I actually made a post (I think in Chapo) asking about whether or not my Hot Wheels/collectible hobbies is antithetical to the communist in me.
I wonder if I could find it or if it even still exists since that server got nuked.
I’ll admit, the ‘things’ I like to spend my money on are largely collectibles or things of that nature. Hot Wheels, for instance. So there’s pretty much always “new” stuff out there, but I just have flat out not been buying anything like that.
But I do get what you mean. I have a computer that’s 8 years old and it can do pretty much whatever I need it to.
And eventually, they require less effort, I would think. And maybe even you could teach them your hobbies so that you can do things you want, with them. Still though, it must be very hard.
I can’t give you any hot shot market data, but I can say:
I’m a person who, generally, likes to spend my money. I like ‘things’. It’s a part of who I am. But, I’ve noticed over the past 10 months, that my spending has gonna down to only buying the things I absolutely need. And even still, I’m finding myself with barely enough to reach the next pay day, if that.
I also can’t even imagine the time. Like, I’m single/childless and I get off work frustrated with the amount of time left in the day. I simply couldn’t do it. Those hours of free time are LITERALLY the only thing keeping me going. I lose those? I’m gone.
