what do you think about socialism?

I find it kind of convincing lately… i got really into economics a couple years ago and have been learning more and more and now I feel like I really agree with it. Capitalism is making increasingly abstracted products bc the production of basic goods is solved and the return on investment for those is almost zero at this point. Why couldn't we just replace those kinds of businesses with a state-run monopoly with computers predicting & dictating the supply? Why do we let people gain so much power that they can lobby the government into lending itself to their interests only??

I feel that things in the world lately have gotten super weird and rich people are way too powerful whereas a lot of normal people are living sad lives. Men seem to lean right wing overall but they're kind of idiot narcissists and I don't trust them to be doing anything except looking out for their own interests.

I really enjoy Andrew Yang's YouTube and even his blog. I was wanting to discover more people like him. Because of how unique he is politically, I cannot find anyone similar to him. Everyone is either edgy anti-woke "based" MAGA (not even conservative or Republican per say) or mentally ill woke gestapo that immediately go trans or other insanity. Even on the more intellectual and serious discussion liberal spaces like Tildes, they randomly mention being "nonbinary polygons" when it wasn't even relevant to the discussion they were having. Is Andrew Yang the only respectable liberal worth listening to or is there anyone else like him? JK Rowling is the queen of Twitter, but she doesn't do YouTube or any alt tech video content either.

I don't think slitting my wrists and smoking a whole pack is healthy but some days I feel so bad that even if I caught myself doing these things I still go ahead.

I hate food. I hate eating out. I hate cooking. I hate eating. I hate shitting. I hate feeling hungry

I wish I could use photosynthesis to get my energy

I hate swimming. I hate how bathing suits make me feel fat from how tight they are and how much they show. I hate having to see moids and their hairy unshaven unwashed fat bodies. I hate people seeing my feet and having to see a bunch of hairy fungal feet. I hate getting water up my nose or in my eyes and mouth. I hate how many women wear bathing suits showing their asscheeks. We're not ok with grown adults in their underwear touching our kids while they're in their underwear but we're ok with grown adults in swimsuits touching our kids while they're in swimsuits? I hate the beach and getting sand everywhere and how unclean the water is. I hate that the only alternative is rotting in your house because it's too unbearably hot to go outside otherwise. I hate how if I don't do it then the summer goes by so fast and I'm right back to rotting in my house anyways because it's freezing cold during the winter and you can't go anywhere without getting frostbite and hiking through a million feet of snow. This is an endless loop of hell every year

Do you have a bumper sticker? If so, what does it say? If you could have a bumper sticker say anything, what would it say?

Look at this cat

im a female homosexual and my ring finger is longer than my pointer but i also see people saying it depends on your sex?? and that women are supposed to have equal length pointer and ring fingers??? so im very confused

there is raw vegan lore that goes as far as to say cooked food in general makes people sick and raw fruits and vegetables heal. i do believe that too but i don't care about arguing this with anyone; waste of time and life is short. the information is out there, look for it, make up your own mind. if you don't believe it then don't, it is your health, take responsibility while i fake-cough to pretend to be sick of vitamin B12 deficiency to mock you.

if this is right however then
>people who cook food are criminals who make people intentionally sick from the caring mother to the professional chef
>restaurants and ice cream parlors are places where people are made sick
>supermarkets are mostly in the business of ruining people's health
>convenient affordable fast food might be an advanced weapon of war deployed against peoples

if i was a rich evil doctor, i'd open up an ice cream shop in the small town i live in and make real good ice cream for chap and then people would get sick and i'd have more work as a doctor.

How does everyone here feel about barbie dolls? Are they harmful to kids?
