one thing you should know about me is that i condone violence

[loveridden1999]

this is not a joke to me btw. i genuinely support violence because no true liberation can be achieved without violence. you're a terrorist in eyes of state when you challenge a colonial power. as Malcolm X once said "You don't get freedom peacefully. Freedom is never safeguarded peacefully. Anyone who is depriving you of freedom isn't deserving of a peaceful approach by the ones who are being deprived of their freedom. The only way you can have peace is to eliminate those injustices and the American white man is not going to eliminate them, he's going to talk that pretty talk but he'll still continue to participate in those inhuman deeds." and when Kwame Ture said "In order for non-violence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none, has none." and when Martin Luther King Jr. said “Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” and when Frantz Fanon said “Decolonization is always a violent phenomenon.” and when Subhas Chandra Bose said “Give me blood, and I will give you freedom.”

How long can your wol(oc) go without sleep before they crash?

[sokarera]

Big Greg only sleeps every few weeks at best. She uses curative magicks to refresh herself and then takes one big sleep every month.

This is my favourite game. Every part of it sucks, but each part sucks in a way that gestures toward something that would be awesome were it not actively being undermined by every other part. It cannot be improved upon because everything that's terrible about its load-bearing. Did I mention it's the best game ever made?

[prokopetz]

"This is [insert game], except for the part that's actually good" no – if there is any part of the game you're prepared to defend on its own merits, it is not this game. If you have not in fact experienced a game answering to this description, expand your horizons. Embrace the suck.

Completely unhinged statement I nonetheless fully believe to be true: Mage is the most ace Chronicles of Darkness game

[vexwerewolf]

To explain, I believe the horror in all the other CoD gamelines is distinctly sexual in some way:

Vampire: What if sexy corpses wanted to eat you

Werewolf: What if you couldn't control your body's primal urges (and also you could manifest a huge wolf dick at any time)

Promethean: What if you were built in the image of someone else's desires

Changeling: What if you got kidnapped and non-consensually TFed

Meanwhile Mage is over here like

what if a language could develop a personal grudge against people who spoke it and you literally can't stop talking

[sokarera]

Is this why I fuck with Mage...

IM BACK, with more, much more stormlight, I drew this a while ago but I forgot to post it, and I have a whole series of these to share...

If you like this and want it on an anything, shirt, mug, print, it would mean a lot if you considered supporting me on my reddbuble shop:

Ok so my kid had an ear infection, right? As kids often do.

The doctor scraped out a bit of earwax to have a better look inside.

I was sent a bill for $200 PER EAR for this 5 second procedure which I did not give permission for them to do.

That was key- they did not ASK me if they could do this "procedure". And, as I OWN a medical practice (it's me. The medical practice is me, sitting in my house on video calls) I knew to call them when this bill came in to be like "You did not obtain informed consent for this procedure, and it was not en emergency procedure. You had full ability to gain my consent and didn't. I'm not paying."

And the massive hospital who owned the bill said "yuh-huh you do have to pay."

And I said "I own a practice. I know these laws. I do not owe you money for this."

And they conducted an "internal review" and SURPRISE! Decided I totally owed them money and they had never done anything wrong ever.

And so I called my state's Attorney General office, and explained the situation because, as I mentioned, I know the law. The AG got in touch within a couple days to say they were taking the case and would send the massive hospital conglomerate a knock it off, guys letter.

Lo and Behold, today I have a letter where said hospital graciously has agreed to forfeit the payment.

"How not to get screwed over by companies" should be part of civics class.

Know your rights and know who to call when they're infringed on. This whole process cost me $0 and honestly less effort than I would have expected.

May this knowledge find its way to someone else who can use it.

[musefortheages]

This post is super cute and all but like.... This isn't practical advice. I called the AG???? And they got involved over a $200 bill. Maybe because you yourself are a medical practitioner. Not just your knowledge but also your status.

Civics class wouldn't help most people in this case because the AG will not take on all these cases and most people cannot afford an attorney in this instance or more importantly, the hit to their credit.

The issue is not education over the system, it is the system

[leebrontide]

I agree the system is a mess but I think education does matter because people seem not to know that this is actually perfectly routine AG office stuff. I’m not the only person who’s done this- this is just what they do?

Were they going to get into a lawsuit over my $400 bill? No obviously not. But they printed up a letter on fancy letterhead to say to stop and it worked. They followed up with me the next day to be sure, and so ask how much money they had saved me.

They use dinky cases like mine to track habitual misbehavior of large scale companies to build cases they could actually go to court over.

And because people are shocked- I never spoke to the AG of my state directly. He operates mainly by overseeing a whole crew of people. And this is what those people do.

This didn’t happen because I’m special because of my tiny therapy practice.

This happened because this is what the AG office is for.

“The problem is systemic” doesn’t mean “and there’s nothing you can do”.

This is a systemic problem but that doesn’t mean there are no resources to help.

[ktempestbradford]

Thank you for clapping back on this. I'm here to reinforce. Yes, you CAN call your state Attorney General office when an entity is doing something illegal, even if it's "only" for $400. You think they don't care a hospital is doing a crime because it's not a big enough crime?

Then you've been trained well by "The System".

Yes, that System you say can't be fought? Where did you get that idea, huh? Who taught you that "small" acts of illegality don't matter? Who made you think that there's no point in fighting back because it will all come to nothing?

Might it be the same entities that benefit if you believe all that?

Gonna pause and let you ponder.

Never. Ever. EVER.

EVER.

Let companies or corporations or hospitals or organizations or any business big or small get away with screwing you over without a fight. Maybe you personally don't win every fight, but you lose 100% of the time you don't try. You'll win more often than you think you will. I know cuz I've done it.

So have others. Attorneys General offices bring lawsuits against businesses all the time. They do so because citizens contacted them to say "someone is doing a crime" and the crime doers did not stop when told and got into way more trouble than if they'd just stopped. FAFO. The Find Out can't happen if you don't even bother to report the Fucking Around.

On that note, as OP said, please know your rights! And, in a situation where you don't but suspect something is hinky, ask! The people of the internet can help! So can librarians! So can many others. Find out what is and is not okay for them to do. If it's not okay, report them! See something, say something.

Don't let the System win by default.

Fight, damnit!

[sokarera]

The system can't be fought? Who decided that. Small acts of illegality don't matter? Who decided that.

Shapiro taking over Kirk's spot is funny. Yeah let's pick the guy with politics stuck in 2008 who is too Jewish for the neonazis and too annoying for the center-right and hasn't been politically relevant in years because he's too easy to make fun of with memes.

[cryptotheism]

Crowder is a man baby, Sam Hyde is gonna die like next week from a podcast related GHB overdose, they can't let Fuentes out of his basement, and Candice Owens isn't white. They're hurting for replacements here.

if Charlie Kirk didn't want his death to be made fun of he should have died in seriouser circumstances

his last insta post. man I can't. I can't make a better joke than this

[zooophagous]

He loved guns and hated empathy. Its more honoring to his memory to be a huge dismissive douchebag about it. It's what he would have wanted.
