Thanks Kafka, I'll check it out. I'm finally realizing I don't need a woman to be a full independent person, it's liberating, think I'm gonna book a vacation to some lesbian bathhouses in Europe now.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2024-10-28 at 9:08 PM UTC in I’m buying a house (Home & Garden Edition)Welp my internalized misogyny has finally gotten the better of me. Me and my deformed tit will be moving into my new home this week. Lanny and I will no longer be living together, but he has generously decided he will maintain contact with me. I assume this is bc my new neighborhood has a fancy pool. And I’m also considering putting in a backyard bar and grill. Men are unbelievable.
Anyways, I’m gonna work really hard on being a better feminist. Or housewife. Idk.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I’m having a really hard time detoxing off of sugary sweets!! And Keto stuff… I’ve been trying tastes like doo-doo.
Well or course it's virtually impossible to cut all sugar from your diet as natural sugars are in pretty much everything to some degree...but I can safely say having been "keto" for 10 months now i don't even think or desire about sweet things anymore. I do still have fake sweetners in my coffee etc but that doesn't flip the "sugar dependency" chemical switch.
It's no longer hard for me to pass up on cake, chocolate, candy, cookies, fruit etc...(I don't eat fruit anymore either).
I got a parcel from Ebay on Saturday and the seller had put 3 chocolates in it as a "thank you for buying from me" gift, straight in the trash without a second thought other than "oh that was a nice thought".
It is hard though to break that dependency..it does take a couple of months or more...I'm eating a lot more cheese these days for snacking...which has it's own "health" issues...all that fat etc. But ultimately that lethargy that comes from sugar is completely gone...again as is the desire for it.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Netflxchillr The watermelon to me is cool & refreshing & my dessert… instead of having something made w/refined sugar. 😛
Watermelon is high in sugar...
The best way to get rid of that sweet tooth is to cut all sugar from your diet, takes about 2 months but once chemical dependency has gone you wont crave sweet things anymore.
A nice piece of cheese is a far superior dessert.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2024-10-20 at 1:59 AM UTC in For Trump supporters
Originally posted by Kafka "If Donald Trump wins the 2024 election, several potential policies or actions could have a negative impact on the working class, depending on how they are implemented and the broader economic context. Here are a few key concerns:
### 1. **Tax Policy and Income Inequality**
During Trump's first term, his 2017 tax cuts, formally known as the *Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA)*, were a significant policy achievement. While they offered some short-term benefits to middle- and working-class individuals, the bulk of the long-term benefits went to corporations and the wealthiest Americans. If Trump pursues similar tax policies in 2024:
- **Corporations and the Wealthy**: Tax cuts aimed at corporations and high-income earners could exacerbate income inequality. These cuts do not always "trickle down" to workers in the form of higher wages or job creation, as proponents often claim.
- **Federal Deficit**: The tax cuts under Trump also contributed to a rising federal deficit, which could lead to cuts in social programs, such as Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare—programs heavily relied on by the working class.
### 2. **Labor Rights and Union Power**
Trump’s administration generally supported policies that weakened the power of labor unions and reduced worker protections:
- **Right-to-Work Laws**: Trump has expressed support for right-to-work laws, which make it more difficult for unions to collect dues and advocate for workers. These laws tend to result in lower wages and reduced benefits for workers, particularly in states where such laws have been enacted.
- **Labor Department Policies**: During his first term, Trump’s Labor Department rolled back various Obama-era regulations that protected workers, including overtime pay rules. A second Trump term could lead to further deregulation, which may benefit employers at the expense of workers' rights and pay protections.
### 3. **Healthcare Access and Affordability**
Healthcare costs remain a major burden for the working class. Trump made efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) during his first term, which provides healthcare coverage to millions of Americans, including many in the working class. If Trump wins in 2024, potential risks include:
- **ACA Repeal or Rollback**: Renewed efforts to dismantle the ACA or reduce its provisions, such as Medicaid expansion, could result in millions of people losing their health insurance. This would disproportionately affect low- and middle-income families who rely on these subsidies for affordable healthcare.
- **Medicaid and Medicare Cuts**: Trump has hinted at cuts to entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid to reduce the deficit. These programs are critical to working-class families, seniors, and people with disabilities.
### 4. **Minimum Wage and Wage Growth**
Trump's administration did not support a federal minimum wage increase, and his policies largely favored deregulation in the labor market:
- **Minimum Wage Stagnation**: If Trump continues to oppose raising the federal minimum wage, which is currently $7.25 an hour, wage growth for the lowest-paid workers could stagnate. Many working-class Americans struggle to make ends meet, and wage stagnation intensifies this issue, especially as the cost of living rises.
- **Wage Suppression**: While Trump did introduce some tariffs to protect domestic industries, his broader deregulatory agenda could help suppress wages. For example, rules that benefit corporations over workers—such as limiting overtime pay and weakening collective bargaining—may result in lower overall wage growth for the working class.
### 5. **Immigration Policy**
Trump’s hardline stance on immigration has multiple effects on working-class Americans, some positive but others negative:
- **Labor Market Impact**: While restricting immigration may lower competition for some low-skill jobs, it can also harm industries that depend on immigrant labor, such as agriculture, construction, and hospitality. Labor shortages in these sectors could lead to higher prices, reduced services, and even job losses for U.S. citizens in related industries.
- **Reduced Diversity and Innovation**: Immigrants play a significant role in driving innovation and economic growth. Policies that dramatically reduce immigration could have long-term negative effects on economic dynamism, which could hurt working-class families by slowing down job creation and wage growth.
### 6. **Environmental Policy and Climate Change**
Trump’s environmental policies were geared toward deregulation and promoting fossil fuel industries. While this benefited some industries, particularly coal and oil, it had potential negative consequences for the working class:
- **Health Impacts**: Deregulating environmental protections can lead to increased pollution, which disproportionately affects low-income communities and people of color. Poor air and water quality can lead to health issues, increasing healthcare costs for working-class families.
- **Climate Change**: Ignoring or downplaying climate change could have long-term effects on the working class, particularly in industries like agriculture, tourism, and construction that are vulnerable to climate-related disruptions. Natural disasters and extreme weather disproportionately affect low-income communities, which often lack the resources to recover quickly.
### 7. **Trade Policy and Tariffs**
Trump’s trade wars and tariffs aimed at China and other countries had mixed effects on the U.S. economy:
- **Higher Consumer Costs**: Tariffs on goods from China and other trading partners often resulted in higher prices for everyday goods like electronics, clothing, and appliances. While tariffs are designed to protect American industries, they can backfire, leading to higher consumer costs that hurt working-class families the most.
- **Job Losses in Key Sectors**: While some industries, like steel, saw short-term benefits from Trump's tariffs, others, like agriculture and manufacturing, suffered from retaliatory tariffs. Farmers and factory workers—many of whom are working-class—faced job losses, income instability, and reduced demand for their products.
### 8. **Social Programs and Safety Nets**
Trump has expressed support for cuts to social programs like food assistance (SNAP), unemployment benefits, and housing assistance, claiming they discourage people from working. However, these programs are vital for many working-class families:
- **Reduced Support for Low-Income Families**: Cuts to these programs could leave the most vulnerable without the resources they need to stay afloat during economic downturns or personal crises.
- **Weakened Unemployment Benefits**: Trump’s handling of unemployment insurance during the COVID-19 pandemic was initially generous but then lapsed into political deadlock. A second term could see more volatile policies around unemployment benefits, making it harder for workers to get by during periods of joblessness.
### 9. **Public Services and Infrastructure**
Despite campaign promises to invest in infrastructure, Trump's administration largely failed to pass any major infrastructure bills. Working-class Americans rely heavily on public services and infrastructure for their daily lives:
- **Underfunded Public Services**: Failure to invest in roads, bridges, public transit, schools, and healthcare systems could disproportionately harm the working class, who rely on these services more than wealthier Americans.
- **Privatization of Services**: There’s a risk that Trump could further push for the privatization of certain public services, which may lead to higher costs for the working class, particularly in healthcare, education, and transportation.
In summary, a second Trump term could present significant challenges for working-class Americans through a combination of policies that prioritize deregulation, corporate tax cuts, weakened labor protections, and reduced social safety nets. While some may benefit from tax breaks or immigration restrictions, many could face stagnant wages, higher healthcare costs, and fewer public services, leading to increased economic insecurity for millions."
