Is there a non-digital version of a finger trap? 🥁

Why are people arrested? So many reasons. Cops are stupid and racist covers a good bit. Now more than anytime since slavery. There's also the huge prison-industrial complex which makes big bucks keeping prisons filled.

Americans do not know that it is different. I saw something once that the vast majority of Americans die within 50 miles of where they were born. I'm of the opinion that travel cures ignorance, but most people just don't really do it. First off it can be expensive, and secondly going on a cruise doesn't count, I don't care if you got off the boat in Jamaica for three hours and bought some trash in a confined area. Sorry, but you haven't been to Jamaica.

Why not? Honestly why not? I would at least be entertained.

Do you live in the US? Most people I know have been arrested.

I was reading your comment, trying to decide if you're a liar or just that bougie. Then second paragraph. Most of my friends have been arrested at least once. I've been four times.

It is important here to note that in the US, prison is for sentences over one year and jail is under one year. That is not strictly 100% true but it's good enough to sort out the jail/prison terms problem. I've only been to prison to do some work. It was maximum security for what it's worth, and it was much nicer than any jail I've been too. People acted normally instead of totally fucking unhinged.

I'd rather do a year in prison than six months in jail.

I saw a person recording local villagers, who live in serious poverty, washing their clothes in the river near the Guatemala/Belize border -- on a first gen iPad. I don't think I had seen an iPad before. I wanted to hurt that man.

If you're in the US I can PM you the name of the service I used to get diagnosed. First attempt I was given what I later learned was a very outdated test, after which I was told "your job is too hard for someone with ADHD".

Got mine less than a year ago at 41. My whole fucked up life makes sense.

We need some kind of international exchange program for people who hate the heat to trade with people who hate the cold. Last winter just about finished me mentally which contributed to losing my job. If I had to live somewhere it was 100F every day I would do it as long as I never have to see snow again.

It's nu-metal shit. Total garbage.

As a US citizen, yes my country sucks. It has sucked before and it's sucking just about as hard as it has since the trail of tears. I am embarrassed by my nation's leaders abetting genocide, defunding aid programs, putting people who live here in prison for the crime of existing, refusing to tax the rich or corporations, etc etc.

But there are a shit ton of us that aren't like that. We have a totally fucked election system, a flawed and vague constitution, and fascists in every branch of government.

It's really not all of us, I swear, and not by a long shot.
