So I don’t wanna come off as depressing but the non-funny answer is when I had to leave work early bc my Mom was passing away from cancer🥺, sad answer aside onto funny answer lol, probably 2nd worst moment at work for me was when I worked Door2Door in the Southside of Chicago activating Free Gov phones and I had a gun pointed at me😂I had a gun threatened like 4-5 times throughout the job but the actual gun out spooked me, I just said in the most polite voice “I apologize and I will most certainly take you off of our list” like I get it, Door to Door people suck but it was a free phone and you could just say no. Anyways sorry for the rambling, what kinda shitty jobs have yall done and what would you say were the worst moments?

In case anyone was wondering what to get me for Xmas…hint hint😂 /s

Recently I had been going on Twitter a lot instinctively when I was bored. I guess I liked the interactions but tbh it’s so bad. Left Twitter has 3 kinds of people: (1) Acts like they are the embodiment of Marxism, nobody else knows anything and nobody else reads according to them. (2) Doesn’t care about theory or material conditions, just looking for a controversial side to join and loves posting about Russia and Jackson Hinkle/Haz. (3) Wreckers (on purpose or not makes little difference) who want to shut down any and all acts of popular resistance because “nothing ever happens”. “What are these campus protests even doing for the people in Palestine?” They say while ignoring Yemeni and Lebanese rallies with posters addressing students to continue their protests. And I would add the folks trying to become a “character” or something or like the voice of Left Twitter, but usually they fall into of the previous 3 categories (feel free to add any that you think I missed). And that’s just the Left. At LEAST they have decent takes to start with that they can ruin slowly over time. Then you get to the libs who have all been scratched. Then you push further right and you get people with usernames I can’t even say here and yet they aren’t banned from Twitter. Not to mention all the incels putting Ancient Rome on a pedestal when they would probably be slaves or merchants at best. I tried to quit Twitter a week ago and it was tough at first, but now I wanna make it like 3 weeks. If I’m still not missing Twitter I’ll prob just keep it for when friends and family send me posts from it but I probably won’t scroll thru.

I like to troll on Twitter nowadays. That includes Slazac and Drew Pavlou, Ian Miles Cheong, etc. basically any annoying lib. Recently I got a 1 day ban for telling some idiot Ukkkraine lib to kys because they called Stalin a “Nazi Collaborator”. Wanna know WHY ON EARTH they called STALIN of all ppl a Nazi Collaborator? Because of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. SMH 🤦‍♂️! I explained how all of Europe signed decrees and treaties with Nazi Germany immediately beforehand and they just blocked me and I assume reported me. Have any of you fine comrades ever been hit with a ban before?

I mean seriously: what is he running his campaign based on? Feel free to look around, usually you can find campaign promises on a Candidate’s official website or their social media pages, but Hasan brought up a great point, when you go on Biden’s site, you see how to donate, how to buy merch(aka donate, the markup on everything in those “stores” is ridiculous) how to work with them (free labor) or basic stuff like Privacy, Terms and Cond., accessibility, etc. Notice the lack of Campaign Promises, Issues he runs on, or even something as trivial and basic as an Accomplishments/Accolades list. For fuck’s sake, EVEN I put my accomplishments on a resume for a job that doesn’t require a degree, and Biden’s team doesn’t even have anything useful to brag about for a man running for re-election to one of the most powerful nations on Earth. I also checked out the White House official website and the only issues they have are not updated since like 2020-2021. Ahem, First Issue to be tackled is COVID-19: Well elephant in the room is that Biden didn’t do much, a better job than Trump without a doubt, but more time had already passed, more breakthroughs were made in that time, Covid was slowing down a lot by the time Biden was inaugurated. Granted there are still more cases but far fewer so I’ll give him half a point for that. And that’s being generous. CLIMATE CHANGE: Well, I can’t blame all of Climate Change on Biden, but the 1.5 degree C threshold was broken 2023, in fact it was the hottest year based on global average temperatures, 2024 likely won’t be better. Again, not all his fault, but he really hasn’t delivered on that promise. No points for that one. RACIAL EQUALITY: This one is tougher to prove or debunk, but I will say he didn’t do anything about Cop City, he helped to build parts of the Border Wall that he dumped on Trump for and has most likely forgotten that BLM was ever a thing. So no points for that one either. ECONOMY: This one is anecdotal I admit, but goddamn look at inflation, gas prices aren’t awful but food prices and clothing prices are rising fast. I don’t think Biden supporters would even give him that one, so again no points awarded. HEALTHCARE: lol nope, next. IMMIGRATION: Bro built part of the border wall, arrests and deportations are still very common. Not to mention that he did nothing about Greg Abbott’s crimes of kidnapping (he illegally bussed migrants to Blue States with no communication or planning with said Blue States, essentially leaving them homeless in Midwest Winters). I want to give him a negative point for that, but he doesn’t have a full 1 point yet, so I’ll just give him a zero for that. RESTORING AMERICA’S GLOBAL STANDING: This one is weird, like even when other countries thought Trump was an idiot, the US was still seen as a dangerously powerful nation. Also, just kinda confused, what is our global standing supposed to refer to? Does it imply that we are respected around the world for having a mature world leader? Because Trump was about as stupid as Dan Quayle (GB Sr’s Vice President)and George W Bush, and apparently those dumbfucks didn’t ruin our reputation or “global standing”. So how is Biden, our oldest president who routinely has gaffs and senior moments, the best and brightest we can offer? I guess a few European countries like Biden better because he’s a tiny bit smarter and nicer in person than Trump is. Lastly I’m gonna touch on his ads quickly. It’ll be pretty damn quick because I’ve only seen like 2-3 ads for him. One has Obama in it, one is just Joe talking about how he isn’t Trump and that he may have to face him again, and the last one is an ad where he tries to come off as energetic and determined. None of these ads are memorable for more than 10 seconds. It’s easy to forget his messaging because none of it is tailored to him. Besides the fact that he was VP, there’s no reason to put Obama in the ad, he isn’t on the ballot, he’s retired. People are also reluctant to vote for a man who may or may not survive the entirety of his second term. And Kamala Harris as VP isn’t helping that reluctance.

So they are really into the whole “not a business, we’re family” type shit. My boss called me a few times like an hr after work to see what I learned today. I learned that you’re a fuckin asshole w no boundaries dude. Get this, today for morning meeting, he tells us about how “actually, people in poverty are much more similar to wealthy people. And poor and rich people are similar because they’re complacent.” We’re supposed to write down notes smh. Halfway through his dumbass speech, I just started writing up a critique of everything he said. Like sure, inheritance and intergenerational wealth play NO role at all dude, just grind more. What metaphysical bullshit. Tbh if they keep pushing this class collaboration, idealistic view of the world just to act like we need to work harder, I’m gonna look for a new job.

I was under the impression that Biden would try to give more charismatic responses to tough questions, y’know, considering that he’s running for reelection against Trump. I’m disgusted that he knows it isn’t doing anything to discourage them but will do it anyway. Genocidal Joe is more a title of his that he proudly wears rather than a criticism from the left on his foreign policy. I’m sure he doesn’t care. In fact I’m positive. He was at a church where protesters voiced their support for ceasefire in Gaza and he just shrugged them off and had them removed by police. Tbh, I was surprised that his handlers didn’t have that question about Ansr Allah prepped days ago already and had Joe trained on what to say. I may eat my words later but Joey stands no chance in this election. Not saying it will be the blowout of the century or anything. Hell he may even win popular vote, but I really doubt he can win the presidency at this point. Things can always change, but not many people can stand this level of honest true incompetency.

Is it just me, or does 1985 Bears Coach Mike Ditka look like he could’ve been the leader of a Central/Eastern European Communist Republic in the late 50s-80s? I can’t unsee it now.

Right as I was getting off work after a horrible day, an old lib coworker cussed me out and called me a Bolshevik. I responded with a number of redacted responses because my last day is in 2 days. Part of me wants to go to HR just to fuck with him. Idk tho, I was really pissed in the moment, now just sorta laughing at it. He said his mom punched a Bolshevik🤣

I will put in a poll in the comments, only upvote the comment that applies. Obv you can make other comments but for voting purposes just choose one.

I love my current job, it’s unionized, we get weekly pay, the managers are some of the kindest people I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet, let alone work alongside of, I get plenty of breaks and reading time when I’m not busy, I get Saturdays off and additional Sunday pay. But two things suck, the coworkers and the pay. One of my coworkers is an old Lib that was very Pro Ireland and we talked for a bit but he’s TERRIFIED of Soviets, like he’s literally spooked by me bc I wear a USSR jacket and Ushankas in winter. I also had a coworker that claimed to be Jesus. Yep, they thought they were the Son of God sent down to redeem humanity’s sinners. He also claimed to have been in the military, a few cults and a few mafias and eventually got fired for calling a young black coworker the Hard-R N-slur, so he was a piece of work. You could never trust what he says and would love to cockblock people. Very odd guy, tough to feel sorry for him but I kinda do, he’s obviously not all there. With all that craziness out of the way, I’m interviewing for a new position that makes like 2-3x as much as my current job and a lot more professional than a grocery. Technically the title of this post is a TINY bit misleading because I already did the interview early this morning. I had to look up stuff about the company and slob a whole bunch of corporate knob to make me seem interested in the job without sounding desperate. If it went well I go on to Interview #2 in-person, if THAT goes well, I get the job. Hopefully I never have to see that crazy wannabe Jesus dude again.
