CSPAN radio sounds like a Senate hearing on mass deportation.
Senator cites a crime by an immigrant, asks expert "you think they should not be deported?"
Expert: "If they commit crimes, we have laws for that, and statistically very few do."
Senator: "millions of rapists!"

(a they/them) What's wrong with people? do people not like it when people look like people?
Replied to Julie Webgirl
You're supposed to MAKE money at events not lose hundreds of dollars of inventory and display when some belligerent drunk ass comes in, harasses the Dane and then spills his beer all over. And runs away so fast even people who were right next to him couldn't find him.
Why have people just stopped using headphones?!
No, I don't want to hear your shitty music
No I don't want to hear the other side of your video/phone conversation - why are you subjecting everyone to this tinny shite?
I really do not understand.

In more "I am so freaking sick of everyone else's ableist bullshit" news:
A few months back, I signed up for what looks like a really awesome basket making class.
It is offered by the same people I'm taking my herbalism training from. It was scheduled in person. It's a skill that I would really like to have. It is a foundational class, on which other weaving-with-natural-materials classes that they are going to offer will be built.
I got the reminder email today, and realized that sitting in a room with 12+ strangers, all of whom will be unmasked, for five+ hours, with no air ventilation, and no way to open the windows or move myself outside to do the work (because the heat index will be over 100°F), was a no-go for me.
DAMMIT! 
Learning how to make a really cool basket is not worth the risk of picking up a Covid infection from some stranger who doesn't give a flying fuck about possibly infecting me.
It is UTTER MADNESS.
I am both disappointed and relieved at the same time. I really wanted to take the class, but the risks of hanging out indoors with all those people for that long was WAY too high for me.
Plus, ending up wearing a mask for more than six hours at a time is really physically and mentally draining. It demands many spoons, even though it's part of helping me stay as safe as I can.
Yet, it's been shown that one-way masking is NOT going to protect me well enough to be in that room for that long.
Eating and drinking would've been impossible, too, as would have CO2 mitigation, even if I brought a monitor. I can only imagine the CO2 in that room spiking to over 2000 ppm within an hour of that many people chatting and laughing and eating and drinking.
I have my own air filter that I often take with me when I am required to be indoors with other people, but it would not have cut it in this room, and air filtration doesn't mitigate CO2.
Well, now I have the day off! I called the organizer and asked if there was a waiting list, offered my spot to someone on the waiting list, and even offered my tuition if they couldn't pay. We will see what happens.
I'm the kind of person who always brings extra supplies. I already had one or two extra of everything on the list to bring with me in case somebody else didn't have it.
That's the kind of person I am! I. Think. Of. Other. People!
It's sickening and saddening and disheartening that nobody else really fucking does that.
I'm not saying that I'm better than anybody else, or that I'm so great because I always think about bringing extra pencils or whatever; I'm saying that I'm really continually angry that most other people don't think about their actions and how strongly they could affect other people.
I'm oddly able to find compassion for the people who are unable to think of other people or share. It's a weird twist of the mind, courtesy of decades of Buddhist training, being able to have compassion for confused fucking assholes. It's not for novices.
The ability to have compassion for said people doesn't mean that they aren't being fucking ableist and selfish as fuck, though.
OK. Off to lick my wounds and maybe later look up on YouTube how to weave cool stuff from grass and pine needles and shit.

@viridian My neighbor has decided to use the railing on the landing as an ashtray. He stubs his butts out and leaves them there. At some point either he or one of his guests swept the six or eight butts down onto the walkway leading to the two downstairs apartments. Several hours later they were gone. Somehow I don't think he picked them up.
I don't know what his problem is but it's annoying. Not as annoying as noise but still.
Just when I think people cannot sink any lower. . .

Pharyngula · Let’s all get disappointed in humanityI thought everyone knew by now that the whole “bumfight” concept was repugnant and deplorable, but it seems to have gotten some new life from technology. A few sick people are harassing…
Lost another friend to the tater tots today. Tried to point out the actual evidence about his great lord and Savior Andrew Tater and he called me an r-slur and blocked me. All this after he said Andrew Tate encouraged him to "think freely" and "have his own opinion." This stinks of the same mess that sucked my dad down the Alex Jones rabbit hole. All of a sudden my father had a superiority complex and thought he and his friends were the only "free thinkers" left. Meanwhile they blindly followed everything Alex said and spewed pseudoscience and misinformation as if it was fact.
Any theories as to why people behave this way? I think that people enjoy feeling the superiority of having "insider information." I think people like to feel like they have a window into the "truth" even if that "truth" is just bullshit spewed with confidence.

I agreed to stay on late tonight to help someone that was having IT issues and they only work nights. Said he would call at 4, my off time. Never called.

I think this concept should be applied to so many other things! Sometimes #peoplesuck and we need a #filter option.
"My trans son needs ..." Actually, it's for my husband.
"My daughter wants to get for her wife ..." Actually, it's for my neighbor.
@DemocracySpot Good Luck and 'let's be careful out there'. Personally my outings consist of weekly walks to my mailbox and about every 4 months I take my scooter through the drive in at Dutch Brothers. #anthrophobic #covidcloister syndrome #peoplesuck
People fckn suck. Why do I have to bother to try to make/keep friends if it always turns out onesided and the biggest energy suck anyways? #audhd #socializing #peoplesuck #fakefriends #feelingalone #adhd #autism #adultadhd #adultautism #adultaudhd #friendships #disrespect #ijustcant
The big downside to Mastodon's growth is that it has now become as big of a political and drama shithole as Twitter, the only difference being that I have already sunk a significant amount of time into building tools to filter it out of my Twitter.
It's like yall bitch about how bad social media is for mental health - then move the disease around like you're carriers or something.
I'm a #realestate agent on the side. Lemme tell you ... There are #scammers wherever money can be made. My clients considered purchasing a property all on their own but decided at the last moment to reach out to me. Turns out the seller was super sketchy from the get-go w/ a trap laid to ensnare an inexperienced buyer. I'm both angry these scammers exist, but very happy that I could use my skills and resources to help these folks dodge a potentially painful and expensive experience. #peoplesuck
I can't deal with any of the nastiness of humans on any social media platform so I am checking out
May be back. Don't know

@axwax @OBO It'll just be replaced by the "I put an ESP-CAM in something to spy upon people" trend. Dammit.
;TLDR #PeopleSuck
My high hopes for #mastodon are waning. Not because of bots, not because of nazis, not because of centralization - but because it turns out most people really don’t have anything of interest to say at all.
My timelines are repetitive, boring, and almost 100% regurgitated nonsense about whatever we’re mock indignant about today.
I think it’s not the platform that sucks, it’s the people.
