My mom doesn’t understand that the reason I keep asking for a kitten isn’t because it’s cute, it’s because it’s a companion. I have a very small group of friends that all live across town. I have nobody here. I want a kitten because I want a friend, something to feel responsible for, something that gives my life a purpose because right now, I feel like living is just pointless. I want something that needs me around so it can live too, just as much as I need it to live. I just want a friend and I will to live again.

I don’t know what I want to do with my life right now, and the teachers at school really aren’t helping my anxiety cause my society. So for right now, I want to spend my life taking care of something that needs me instead of just ‘wanting me around because I’m nice and will do anything to keep people around’.

And sure, I have Godzilla, but he’s not my cat. He’s my step-dad’s, he’s not my full responsiblity but he is independent, he doesn’t need me like a kitten would.

You know what I just realized

In all of my years, I’ve never actually seen a corgi in person, like, not even in a car or in public.

It’s like there’s no corgis in the areas of Utah I’ve lived in.

We should have universal healthcare and universal basic income. We can fund it by taxing rich people.

But taxation is theft, you say? Fine. Make it voluntary. Businesses can opt out of paying taxes. If they don’t want government involved in their business, then government won’t be involved.

But that means no government involvement at all, even when it benefits them. That means no patents, trademarks, or copyrights, since those wouldn’t exist without government. They want a free market? Then they can compete with someone else stealing their customers by selling their products at a lower price.

If a company loses money, they’ll foot the bill for once and not us. No government bailouts when they intentionally make dumbass business decisions.

They want government subsidies for not paying their workers enough? Too fucking bad, Wal-Mart, you’re not getting special treatment for being shitty employers anymore.

Oil/gas/coal companies want to keep people from using their own solar panels and wind generators? Go to hell, you don’t get to write the laws anymore.

Also no taxes, no special labels. So if you want to label your product “made in America”, but don’t pay your taxes, too bad. Want to use government certifications? You better pay those taxes. FDA approval? Better be paying those taxes. Run out of money? Too bad you didn’t pay your taxes, cause you can’t file for bankruptcy.

No no no, it’s not just that

You wanna deliver your goods? Tax money paved those roads. You want electricity? Too bad, govt-run power grid.

Holy shit, this is getting better each time.

This is why the whole ‘taxation is theft’ idea doesn’t work. At their core, businesses exist to make money. Money that is created and given value by the government. If your business doesn’t want to pay taxes to ensure the continued operation of the government, then what right does it have to use its currency? Your money has no value outside of the value assigned to it by the government, so you can’t lay claim to any value you supposedly have before paying your dues to the organization that gives your paper slips meaning.

Ya’ll should start a country.

happy anniversary to the greatest thing that ever came out of this fucking website

I wasn’t around for DashCon so can anybody explain to me what it was and why it is a meme?

There is a really good youtube video explaining it but im on mobile so ill give you the tl;dr

Tumblr decided to hold a con but the host didnt think shit through so a bunch of the things that were supossed to happen didnt and everyone was starting to ask for a refund because the con consists of everyone standing around and a singular ball pit. But low and behold as ut turns out the hosts didnt even have enough money to keep shit up and running so they were had to ask the people at the con for donations.

Theres more to this but ill leave it at someone pissed in the ballpit and theres a conspiracy that the hosts actually did have enough money and just pocketed some for themselves.

Holy shit how have I not heard of this before



Suddenly all those ballpit posts make sense
