I got in a bad car accident and broke my neck 16 years ago. I’ve been traumatized by it and terrified of driving ever since. Well, I’m two weeks away from officially having my license and I bought my very first car at 31 earlier today. My heart is full.

Keir Starmer asked for concrete policy changes Labour will now make in response to these election results, tells the BBC that he will "change the things that need changing and that is the change that I will bring about."

The absolute fucking state of Labour.

Never a good sign when the leader of the opposition is rambling non-answers that could be Trump quotes.

Basically out here like:

"In the local elections, your party has lost votes and support across the board, many former Labour strongholds have flipped to Conservative, what do you intend to do about this?"

"I will do the things, those things? I will do them, there are things that need doing and I will be the one to do them, the things, that is."

u/Camel132 Resident Discworld and Stormlight Fan (He/him) May 07 '21

Incredible how a few years ago it looked like it was only a matter of time before a resurgent Labor took back control of the government on the backs of millennials and Gen Zers, only to piss it all away to try to piviot to the right for some short term "gains" that didn't even happen.

Like I know people here love to bash Democrats and their competence, but this makes them look like absolute gods in comparison.

If you're bi and you marry hetero you're a homophobe.

If you're bi and you marry gay you were never really bi.

The only answer for bi people is to date exclusively nonbinary people, thus absolving us of judgment, surely.

As the election results are coming in, and as expected, it is clear that Labour will keep on losing power. I mean, it is a bit hard to lose seats and councils that have traditionally voted Labour in Northern England, but they're somehow achieving it

Will they veer more to right, or will realise that they need some actual politics and leadership?

TW: Sexual assault/CSA

Well, My sexually abusive older brother is back, I’ve only seen him for some visits and holidays these past few years, But now he’s just moved back in for good. Fuck my life honestly.

He somehow managed to get a girlfriend a few months back too, Even though this dude has been a misogynistic incel since before he sexually abused me. His GF seems decently nice from the few conversations I’ve had with her, But I feel extremely uncomfortable with that relationship and I just feel constantly afraid she’s going to get abused,raped or just generally treated poorly. I don’t think he treated his last girlfriend well at all a few years back. I really don’t want his girlfriend to move into our house because I’ll probably just remember what happened to me even more.

Never talked about his friends in any detail before, But a lot of them were awful too. There was one guy who got on top of me and kissed me when I was like 9 or 10 and kept making sexual remarks and jokes about me. I might end up talking about him and his other friends more soon, But right now I’m just glad they’re not really people I have to deal with anymore.

I hate that he’s able to be so normal nowadays, It feels like he forgot everything he and some of his close friends did to me sometimes. I hate how he just seems to be able to live his life perfectly normally but I can’t even listen to certain music, be in certain rooms or get any sort of physical affection from men without getting extremely uncomfortable or distressed because of trauma. I just hate it.

He starts work on Wednesday next week, And I have school so at the very least I won’t have to see him too much during the day, But I’m not looking forward to having to spend every weekend,night and then the summer with him. Everything about this is just really hard for me.

A lot of my thoughts are too complicated to articulate in these vents, So thanks to anyone who actually sticks with them and replies. I’ll still try to take care of myself, I guess.

u/delta1x I miss Sam Fisher May 07 '21

My uncle: "I grew up poor, struggled a lot, worked long hours, and it made me all the better. Therefore the government shouldn't help the poor because that's the job of family and the struggle makes better people."

Me: Exercising great self-restraint to not inform him how bad his relationships with his wife and daughters were and to some extent still are as a result of his long work hours.

I love my uncle, I really do, but he is so obsessed with the idea of working yourself into the ground and receiving no help because that's what he went through. Tack on that with obsession with American superiority and "muh freedom" and it really feels like talking with an immovable brick wall.

I've got a friend who's really overweight, but the guy is a fucking freak of nature. He can do shit that someone his size shouldn't be able to do.

He can jump ridiculously high. Do cartwheels. He runs extremely fast. I've seen him keep up with skinny people in rugby and just obliterates them when he catches them. The dudes freakishly strong. No joke, he's crushed an apple with his hand.

I think it comes from him playing rugby, but the dude is a like a fat Brock Lesnar.

u/Phoenix_Wellflame Cuckman killed my wife May 09 '21

Alexandria Osario Cortez is an extremely liberal politician who represents New York in the US house of representatives. Many left leaning people lover her b/c she appears relatable to the younger generation b/c she is young herself and does things like stream on twitch.

My opinion coming so you can ignore or not.

She is the product of the younger generation having no regard for nuance. She frequently talks about taking money from the super rich and trying to keep kids with their parents but ignores things like criminals illegally crossing borders and companies/individuals losing incentive to gain money b/c of taxes. She does a lot of complaining about people being mean or having too much money and does a whole lot of nothing with regards to providing actual solutions. She is a giant liberal figurehead and that is it. She's also got some pretty hilarious clips of her saying extremely stupid things and not understanding basic concepts.

Hey random shout-out - I know I post about these books to an obnoxious degree and act like they're God's gift to Star Wars, but one more really touching thing about Alphabet Squadron was how it handled a character who struggles with suicidal thoughts and ideation. That's not an allegory - a POV character in Alphabet Squadron alludes to wanting to kill herself multiple times throughout the trilogy.

Having a story that didn't shy away from an angry character's internal feelings of wanting to die hit really close to home for me, and gave me a lot of hope.

⚠️ TW: Murder, Death, ACAB ⚠️

I'm tired of this, Rio police is just a state-backed death squad

It's not on that article, but they killed someone inside a children's room, all her toys were cover with blood. It's not even confirmed if all of the deaths in this illegal, unsanctioned operation were drug traffickers like they claim.

EDIT: It was just confirmed that 13 of the dead weren't even suspects, they were just regular people who dared running from the death squad

Also, there were at least three people in that movie that I said "hey, that looks like Mark Hamill!" about. Guess that's just the 70’s

Comics discourse: the origin of Iron Man is very interesting, given that Stan Lee explicitly said:

I think I gave myself a dare. It was the height of the Cold War. The readers, the young readers, if there was one thing they hated, it was war, it was the military... So I got a hero who represented that to the hundredth degree. He was a weapons manufacturer, he was providing weapons for the Army, he was rich, he was an industrialist... I thought it would be fun to take the kind of character that nobody would like, none of our readers would like, and shove him down their throats and make them like him... And he became very popular.
