Here's a list of them that all did one good thing in 2021

This is a universe with faster than light travel and near infinite resources. There's a homeless shelter in one of the major cities. I helped them out. Why the fuck is there a homeless shelter in a universe with FTL and near infinite resources?

I'm starting to think Fallout under Bethesda isn't a satire and their writers are just incapable of imagining anything beyond capitalism.

Yeah, I'm never sure which ones are going to take up a lot of space, so I've decided to simply spoiler tag all emotes in other instances for the time being. Hopefully it will be fixed soon, I think I saw a PR for it.

Might be best to put those emotes under a spoiler tag when on other instances, comrade. A common complaint about us is due to the emote sizing bug.

Thanks for looking out for us. I wish more people looked at it the way you do. It's been really weird seeing headlines since 2022 that excitedly proclaim "hey its only old people and disabled people dying now!"

What you really want is others to give you an equal share even though you haven't done anything to earn it and I fucking have.

A core belief most of us have is that workers are very literally not being given what they've earned. But we also believe that all humans deserve food, shelter, and care. If you think that's evil, there's not much more of a discussion to have.

I'm so sorry, it's not a good time. I hope you find treatment that offers some level of relief.

also the flu is absolutely not harmless, we are extremely lucky that it's seasonal (unlike covid)

[note: this is not me saying covid is not harmless, it is extremely harmful]

I want to share my experience as a disabled person, because I think it's very easy to simply not notice our non-existance:

I don't exist anymore. I'm a hermit. It's been years since I've done anything in public. I go to the rheumatologist, I go to a lab to get blood tests, and once a year I get an x-ray to make sure I don't have TB. I don't do anything else. There's about a two week period where being outside isn't some unbearably high or low temperature that exacerbates my condition.

Please care about covid. Just, please. Do it for people like me if that helps you, but mostly do it for yourself. This virus can make you like me and it's miserable (I was sick before Covid, but Covid is known to trigger autoimmune conditions which are the primary cause of my suffering).

Ukraine under his leadership has been acting up to the highest ethical ideals of the EU.

Doesn't seem very ethical to me to ban your opposition parties for being left wing.
