You Built This

@BladeoftheS We already have it in the U.K. in the form of benefits and it’s called socialism… it’s just more people on it… are you saying socialism is bad?

You CANNOT be saved by UBI. All Universal Basic Income will mean is extreme poverty for everyone so the 0.00005% can own everything. We must retake control of our Governments and Essential Services by destroying the billionaires. There is no other path to a better world.

@crescentmoontea If you rented privately you’d have that paid for you too which is where the actual figures come from…

I get £600/month and that's both the base Universal Credit pay AND the too sick to work benefit. that's £7,200/year. some of you just love making up issues to be mad about.

@AndrewHilaryUS In an apocalypse women would have facial hair and uni brows… unless they keep a mirror and tweezers… you can tweezer armpit hair too…

I get so bothered when a movie or tv show depicts women weeks/months/years into an apocalypse and their legs and armpits are still cleanly shaven.

@VraserX I get one like per post if I’m lucky so I have no idea

The X algorithm is honestly terrible right now. My engagement is down 69%… and nothing changed on my side. Same content. Same focus on AI. Same high-effort posts with actual useful, up-to-date info. So what exactly are we rewarding here? Anyone else seeing this or is it just me?

@ClownWorld At what point should the surgeons be arrested for not taking mental health into consideration?

Please God, just send the meteor already.

@sappholives83 Yeah men don’t wipe, they drip onto their underwear or clothes… it’s why old men smell of pee because they also then don’t change their peed on clothes…

I’m not sure what’s worse — the fact that this guy seems to think that wiping his d!ck after peeing is a womanly trait, or the fact that he wasn’t wiping it before. Please tell me that most men aren’t this gross?

@AveryDaye Yup that’s what I’ve been saying… he’s clearly compromised

Something is deeply wrong with Keir Starmer. He is compromised. Idk if he’s been bought, is being blackmailed, threatened, I’m not sure exactly what, but something very very sinister is happening here.

@GadSaad Yeah so obviously they found him for to stand trial, that would set a precedent where all criminals would fake testing to get a low score… it would also mean that there would have to be a cut off in society below a certain iq but nice try

Thoughts?

@SamaHoole You’re all so weird and desperate. Now compare it to what people who consume animal effect.

Chloe woke up at 6:45am and immediately felt proud of herself. She had, after all, not eaten a single animal product in four years. The planet was healing. She could feel it. 6:52am - Applied her morning SPF. The SPF contains beeswax. Chloe does not know this. Moving on. 7:10am - Breakfast: a smoothie containing avocado. The avocado was grown in Michoacán, Mexico, on land where a pine forest was until 2019. It required approximately 320 litres of water to produce. It was flown to the UK. Chloe sprinkled hemp seeds on top. The hemp seeds came from China. Chloe felt connected to the earth. 8:00am - Got dressed. Polyester leggings, derived from crude oil. A bamboo top that was processed using carbon disulphide in a Taiwanese chemical plant. Trainers with a recycled plastic upper that sheds microplastics into waterways with every wash. Chloe's outfit today had a higher carbon footprint than a ribeye steak. Chloe does not know this either. 9:30am - Posted on Instagram about choosing compassion. The phone was manufactured in a Shenzhen factory using cobalt from the DRC, where mining operations have displaced local communities and killed an unknowable number of small mammals, reptiles, and insects. The algorithm served Chloe an ad for oat milk. Chloe liked it. 12:00pm - Lunch: tofu stir-fry. The soy was grown in Brazil. Brazil produces more soy than almost any country on earth. The primary reason is soybean oil: one of the most widely used industrial and culinary oils on the planet. The soymeal left over after oil extraction is fed to livestock as a byproduct. Chloe is aware of the livestock connection and finds it outrageous. She has not looked into why the soy was grown in the first place. The answer is the oil. The oil is in her salad dressing. 1:30pm - Drove to the garden centre. The car runs on petrol. Chloe has a Just Stop Oil sticker on the bumper. This is not being commented on further. 3:00pm - Bought a monstera. The monstera was grown in a Dutch greenhouse using natural gas heating. Chloe put it next to the pothos that is slowly poisoning the neighbourhood cats. 6:00pm - Dinner: pasta with cashew cream sauce. The cashews were processed in Vietnam, often by workers in conditions that would prompt significant commentary if they were in an abattoir. 8:00pm - Watched a documentary about factory farming. Wept. Posted about it. Caption: "We have to do better." Chloe is, by every measure she has chosen to measure by, doing brilliantly. By some of the others, the picture is more complicated. Chloe has not chosen to measure by those.

@ThePeterMcClane I think it made it socially acceptable

There are days where I wonder what people hate so much about OnlyFans specifically. It can’t just be because it’s sex work. Sex work has been around for thousands of years. It feels like OnlyFans gets directed, targeted visceral hate.

@nagasatish16 @hecubian_devil Erm it’s doesn’t increase plasticity… it just clears faulty connections

@hecubian_devil That burst of productivity (cleaning the CPAP, making dinner) is often called the window of plasticity. Your brain is currently more adaptable than it was 24 hours ago.

Ketamine is a miracle drug. I’ve been brutally depressed, unable to do basic tasks, extreme executive dysfunction for months. Took 170mg dissolving tablet today and immediately went for a walk, did laundry, cleaned my room, made dinner, did dishes, cleaned my CPAP. All easy.

@Oceanbreeze473 Well I have a child so going back that far isn’t an option. I’d go back to like Dec 2014

If you could restart life at 18 with your current knowledge, would you?

@NickBuckleyMBE Yeah it should be all boys with good leaders but the risk is girl hating red pill boys in a group…

Great news for girls. But now I want all girls removed from the Scouts. Boys need their own spaces away from girls to learn how to be a man. Sex based spaces are important and need to be enforced.

@JohnCleese It’s so obviously for votes… once a party has been co-opted surely they have to stand down? It’s like saying a party can be run by some sleeper agents for Russia or China or North Korea and once you find out you still have to keep them in power? No!

She doesn't want to lose Labour votes So she happily sells the rest of us down the river

@ChrisMartin1961 Also do you understand people’s ‘phobia’ of Islam? You can question and generalise concerns and issues but not cause hate or harm to individuals. Individually you are not at fault but collectively you are in certain areas…

@ChrisMartin1961 Because you are the generation that allowed many of the issues to occur that have now strangled the youth. I was going to write a book explaining it more. But basically you have been protected at the expense of the future.

I’m seeing, yet again, this surge of hatred for the Boomer generation. I’m a late season Boomer, born in 1961; I’ve worked for nearly 50 years, have been in the same profession for 37 years, I’ve routinely worked 45-60 hours a week. I don’t get why we are so vilified.

@MarinaPurkiss lol you call it hoarding - the actually definition is company share holder but you must not know the difference.

When are we gonna admit that billionaire‑ism is an illness? They’re hoarders No control, insatiable greed & their hoarding just drains every one of us They cut wages, buy politicians & bleed the planet just to watch a number tick up that they’ll never spend Sick in the head.

@Kekius_Sage Morality is system based. It will be entirely based on what you were taught growing up & cannot be changed easily when moving to different systems. It becomes the internal identity of that person, morality only changes when the system changes & only for those who are children.

Can science explain morality, or is that purely human?

@rivkahbrown So interest rates go up but landlords can’t increase rents… what about those undercharging? Surely you mean rent limits? Idiots

Zack Polanski sets out his day 1 priorities if PM: 1. Change voting system from FPTP to PR 2. Introduce a wealth tax 3. End homelessness (including by ending right to buy, building social housing and freezing rent)

@gmhales And as I’ve found, mental health is not authorised. They would rather kids be in school Crying all day than stay at home and catch up on some sleep. I have apologised to my daughter many times for not being in the financial position to home school her…

Why do schools reward kids with 100% attendance as if being ill is somehow a moral failure?
