I have a soda stream an every time I use it I set aside a dollar per pump for my Palestinian comrades

Edit. It was a gift. I didn’t buy it

it was revealed to me that exxon-valdez, apple, and raytheon stocks paid for my college education. I will graduate in May debt-free, and with money left over. I have no idea what to do with it, and I feel bad that it went to my college rather than something that matters.

if it makes you feel better, unless you bought those stocks from a stock offering, none of that money actually went to those companies.

education should be a right, don’t feel bad only because it’s a privilege in the present state of things.

Leather boots from before I was vegan :deeper-sadness:

Being vegan and not buying any other clothing or item made with the skin of a living being that was made to suffer its entire life, while doing my best to maintain these boots so I get the full use out of the suffering I demanded someone inflict.

You should burn them. That’ll show those darn meatheads!

I remember in high school I used to just say whatever the teacher wanted to hear for my grades even if I didn’t believe it. I had stellar grades but that didn’t amount to anything.

Now working on self confidence and can disagree and have own values and I think it’s going well. I know here I don’t have much edge but offline I’m firm when it comes to arguing leftist issues. I don’t back down or just go with the flow anymore.

Good for you. Don’t beat yourself up over shying away from disagreeing with the people who give you grades that are arbitrarily deterministic of the trajectory of your life…

Grades suck, tell my nephews they don’t amount to much so don’t fret if they don’t do to well. I got great grades and look at me now 😅

I don’t think there’s such a thing as a “liberal item”

But my mom has a peloton and it’s a nice way to get a workout

You don’t think there’s such thing as a liberal item, yet you mention a peloton, the ultimate liberal item

Radicalize that nephew. Be the uncle you wish you had when you were 8.

“wasn’t it cool when Luke blew up the death star? you ever think about how stormtroopers are like space police, and the death star is like a police station in space?”

That’s the spirit. When they’re old enough, you can introduce them to star trek.
