Wait, I thought the “does that seem right to you?” thing was a Firefly joke.

e: Horrible snipe. Uh...

I really don’t like Johnny Cash’s version of Hurt and it irrationally pisses me off that it made a song that got me accused of being possessed or whatever in my youth accessible to the same people who were saying that poo poo in the first place.

I guess my PHUO is this: if you can’t bring yourself to say/sing a song with its original, profane lyrics, don’t cover it at all. (Yes, I know Reznor liked it. I don’t care.)

I like Vlasic “Original” dill pickles better than the regular/kosher ones. I’ve probably said that before. I say it a lot because everyone always thinks I’m nuts.

To make matters worse, Walmart is the only place around here that has them and I only really go there if we’re doing a “big” shopping.

Too much for cis women, you mean. Trans women have no problem with huge, thick, juicy pickles. Go back to playing with barbies and let the real women handle things, little girl. *flexes*

Zombie fiction is modern utopian fiction.

We have been so beaten down we can no longer imagine a world where surviving isn't hard and precarious. But in a zombie apocalypse, your life is in largely in your hands. You can fight back, you can struggle, and if you die you'll understand why. You don't lose your job because somebody seven states away who has literally one million times more than you wanted to be slightly richer, you die because a fence got pushed over. It's a world no worse than ours, but it's understandable, there's cause and effect, it makes sense. That's the best we can imagine now.

I think you’re right. People want to take an active role and feel like if they lose, at least they lost under their own power.

I think it's more capitalist/rich person fiction where instead of screwing them over legally they can ruthlessly kill all the poors who couldn't afford weapons and protection. If a zombie plague actually happened (it wouldn't), the police and military would definitely not focus on the poor neighborhoods, they'd isolate them and protect the "important" people.

wanted to come back to this - this is the most sheltered white kid post i've ever seen. the whole "millionaire forcloses on your home leading to your death because i guess your resume isn't good enough to get you hired anywhere else :qq: " poo poo doesn't happen every other day, and you think rich people wouldn't still be in power during a zombie apocalypse? "Oh no, three whole states have been overrun. Let me band together a militia using the money i have because i do not want to die and i need people to keep making money." Those people are just gonna get their dicks sucked once their small armies wipe out the zombie threat, which might even boost them to a higher standing.

one: ok whats that got to do with people losing jobs
two: generic insulin is much much cheaper and people need to be more aware of it, people not being aware of it is killing them, and that is not their fault.

if you wanted to point out an example of jobs being lost due to rich people, maybe point at walmart closing 50 sams clubs (to raise the min. walmart employee wage to $11 an hour). You coulda just done that and I woulda been like "oh poo poo im such a fuckin' moron but hey this kind of stuff isnt happening every day"

also wrt being astoundingly ignorant: im not the one saying that a zombie apocalypse is about as deadly as living a normal life. you loving idiot.

that dude died because the companies that make insulin keep raising the price and abusing America's lovely patent laws so they can make more money. That's not a hypothetical, that's a man dead because of the greed of the wealthy. You loving ghoul.

They're cracking down on one person, not because he raised the price of life-saving drugs, but because he scammed rich people! Raising the price like he did was completely legal! Same as it's completely legal to keep raising the price of insulin every year. Learn literally anything at all, please, before expressing your thoughts in any medium ever again.

I was not drawing a hypothetical, I was explaining the allure of existing fiction. I really don't want to include an insult with every response to you but it's incredibly hard to respond to your posts without questioning if you've got object permanence down yet or if you still think when you cover your eyes the world stops existing.

lmaoooo holy gently caress every response you give is like the loving person in one of their "and then everyone clapped" stories

maga hat wearing white redneck trumper came up to a person sitting next to me on the bus, said "Capitalism is good, ya hippie!" to a russian woman. I, the Socialist Savior, had to stand up and declare to everyone riding the bus, "No, communism is GOOD!" The whole crowd erupted with applause, biting into a hearty turnip and tossing their ushankas into the air.

pharmaceutical companies get rich by charging extortionate rates for their products and then force insurance companies to either negotiate their prices or absorb the cost, or, if a person doesn't have insurance, I guess die. there is not a single way the current structure of pharmaceutical cost and distribution actually helps sick people.

Maybe god is telling you to die if you're poor. Isn't that what Mother Theresa did in all her "hospitals" where they didn't really have any qualified doctors or nurses looking after people. They just provided beds for people to die in.
