  • I mean, it depends a lot on where you are I suppose. I am stuck in a backwards, conservative, largely MAGA hick town where all the white people seem super glad that we’re deporting a bunch of their friends and neighbors considering this a big farming town, and we have a lot of immigrant farm workers. They don’t seem to care that the white people left over aren’t strong or resilient enough to actually do the farm work nor do they want to because they think they’re above it.

    I don’t have any friends here, and I am staying with family who while not MAGA is still very conservative in the economic sense, so I get a lot of grief for being broke and having cancer and acting like I should be worshipping the ground they walk on because I’m not on the street instead of that being the bare minimum you should do for family who did nothing to get saddled with an insanely costly disease.

    So I huddle inside and try to avoid going out as much as possible because there isn’t much here for me. All the people with educations and thoughtful opinions leave this town in their twenties at the latest. I’m not going to suddenly meet a whole group of smart, thoughtful people. It’s also not even particularly good to look at, it’s a drab, dirty, desert town without a lot of trees and a bunch of concrete.

    Like seriously, when you’re in a situation like mine, what the fuck is going outside even for other than being reminded that you live in fucking hell?

    Well you better fuckin’ believe it because some people live in actual poverty and even getting high is a luxury. The idea that I have ever had the money to piss away on food delivery is fucking laughable, but especially after I got really financially fucked being diagnosed with cancer three years ago now. Even during COVID I was busy getting a degree and had to budget super tightly to make it through and be able to afford weed once in a while. My budget has been so tight lately that I haven’t even smoked in a year and a half (and sometimes I really wish I could afford it because it really helps with the stomach cramps caused by my cancer medications). There hasn’t been a time in the last eight years that I didn’t qualify for food stamps. I don’t know what to tell you.

    I’m in my forties. The post we are talking about was made in February 2026. Priyanka Lakhara definitely looks younger than me, didn’t even make her Twitter account until January 2024.

    What does age or how it worked in the past have to do with a post made… four days ago by someone who is either late twenties to mid-thirties at most?

    Also, in those old timey wimey years I was just pirating Adobe Acrobat.
