POV: You’re a USian on disability benefits who is just assumed to be able to survive on 12k a year whilst being literally disabled and unable to do most things healthy people can. And now people with 150k a year, 10 times my income, are complaining. 👁️👄👁️

This was me basically before I started to learn how to do shit properly.

Ie. when I was a teenager and learnt about pirating through low quality youtube vids

because I know lemmyverse peeps will probably quite like the forum style

Okay but as a chronically ill person in poverty struggling to feed myself in a late stage capitalist hellscape. I feel like I tick the first few boxes.

I dunno if you want this.

But just gonna say I felt this way for a decade or so. A very lonely decade where my only relationship was short lasted and one sided.

But honestly now looking back it kinda feels dumb I looked at myself that way. I’m literally too disabled to work (which I thought would make it impossible to date). And I have this wonderful partner who loves me more than anything, to the point it can be kinda annoying like she’s obsessed with me.

(Sorry if this comes off as a brag, don’t mean it too, just wanna say what can feel hopeless might change).

As far as the video said, none of thr solution are perfect. They are all partial.

The video wasn’t clear. Are they only building a highway or also a freight rail line.

Thanks for sharing this guy. I like his demeanour.

This is so cool

So if I understand correctly these are minuture models filmed with a photography technique that adds really realistic depth?

I had to play it at 0.4!

Just FYI your link had a tracker added. Here’s a tracker free link: https://youtu.be/1zu41rrc_Ng

Similar situation. For every person with my illness who is like me lucky to have a stable living situation, I know a near equal amount that killed themselves due to lack of help, a near equal amount who died due to poverty and not being able to treat treatable complications of the illness or malnutrition, I know a near equal amount who made a worrying plea for help saying they would go homeless, and by the time the community could organise some help they were unreachable and never to be heard from again.

Thanks for the share. This dude seems decent.

Rare to find a youtuber who has fun doing dumb shit without being a massive waste of resources or unethical. Cool that this guy exists.

The people in power have the most influence. The people in power tend to also believe they deserve to be in power — ie. Just World Fallacy — so it’s really unsuprising how societally engrained that bias is.

That reminds me of one doctor advising me to look into assisted suicide…

That felt absolutely awful. The person I trust to help me live, because I want to live, doesn’t see my life worth living.
