Absolutely amazing pov here, very nice <3

It's the one explanation that makes sense- not even the evil playthrough, but the third or forth one where you just make every awful, inconsistent, and stupid choice you can.

I've had a few people even ask if I sell "my stuff" and I'm like.. I just sewed a thing on a thing, none of it is mine by any measure. You can do it too! Also hand sewing on denim sucks btw

Sure, let's! I don't give a fuck if "my side" is in there. Anyone mentioned should be investigated and prosecuted as appropriate. Politics isn't a fucking team sport like so many treat it, if someone is shitty they should lose support, be removed, and prosecuted. Stop protecting felons and pedos.

(plus anyone on SNAP *has* to reapply several times a year already, so what would re-reapplying solve? As always the rhetoric never aligns with the reality with this stuff)

I hear some folks in congress are doing illegal things - guess we better make all of them run again!

If they "know" about all this fraud.. then prosecute it. It's illegal. The truth is obvious, as usual, though - this is a clear attempt to overload the system and harm recipients.

Would gladly share some, would that I could! Surely can make it happen sooner or later, I'll keep it in mind~ <3

Amazing POV, challenging but such a good payoff!

At this point the extremely wealthy are mooching off the rest of us anyway, who cares, let 'em leave. They can go find somewhere else to not pay taxes (or, realistically, pay much higher taxes in most any other place they'd want to move to.)

"What it takes" is the ability to wring yourself beyond dry to perform a skill that takes a great deal of time to develop no matter how empty you feel in terms of being able to do it. I'm sorry it's weighing on ya so much :( Best of luck, I'll quit rambling up your feed! <3

Creating because you need money just isn't the same, and a lot of folks can manage it but it's tough at the best of times even for "successful" folks, who often have other income, a partner, etc. to help make it work. Don't beat yourself up because you aren't a *profitable* artist of all things.

For what it's worth - not being able to monetize your work isn't a sign of a failure, it's a sign that monetizing your work is really fucking hard. It's even inherently at odds with creativity and passion - not to say all commissions have to exclude those things, but still.

( also I love the dumbness of the video itself and the cans of worms it opens.. a song, huh? Wonder how long it takes for grandma to get DMCA'd and deleted you media thief! )

The obsolescence is such a good angle to point out.. we can't even rely on video games hanging around past launch, why in the fuck would anyone assume they'll keep grandma's power sucking cyber mimic alive past IPO?

Or, here's a crazy fucking idea - sit down with your loved ones NOW and create actual memories. If your mom might pass before birth, or even meeting someone, fine.. record that bedtime story NOW. Also yeah, this is so grossly horrid, someone missed the memo that Black Mirror wasn't an idea pitch
