It’s really hard for me to understand why you stopped learning and started talking. You’re supposed to keep doing both! instead of ending your education at high school and repeating things the rest of us have dismissed along with our pimples as ideas for children.

If 80 senators decide the vote should be anonymous then it could be, right? Normally i don’t think that’d be possible but for something AIPAC hold so dear i could see it

Memes all the way down

John Crapper is a hero in my book

no one wants to stand out when they don’t want to so… unique body. Not like elephant man even i mean just really tall/short dark/light different. No one wants to be too far outside the mean where they live

Her music is really awesome though and i have used her as a therapist more often than me therapist sooo

Dunno if there are many left in the US but if you answer the question they always ask:

“Do you feel like hurting yourself or others?“

With a “yes” they can recommend you get wrapped up “for your protection” for a short while. Then bill you of course

More evidence of Dem voters getting radicalized by their “unbiased” media. these cats are the ones trudging blindly behind their party’s frog-march rightward

I’m usually sitting or lying down.

This sounds like a difficult way to go about what should have a simple and cheap solution: all games with a network component must ship with the ability to create a private server.

Then the fans of said games could keep playing the games they bought their way free of cost to the studio. This is how everything should be once a product is purchased. It’s actually the whole “software as a service” thing that’s weird and bad and though pervasive now is only a couple decades old.

One of the worst abuses of stereo in my opinion are old Beatles albums. Maybe cuz the tech was somewhat new they were playing far too much? Too much for me anyway

I saw a post ‘kindly fall in line’ (speaking to a harris dissenter) on the lib-verse the other day and i thought they were lampooning libs at first but after several re-reads they were for real.

They can’t hear themselves. I thought liberals mostly just held the door open for fascists but that oft-used quote about bleeding is true, huh.

Fuck me

Sorry, I’m not quite sure what kind of help you are asking for. I do know one thing though:

Reddit shows me some weird stuff when I enter it and that distrubs my peace of mind!

You really should leave that place if you can. My experience is similar to yours, i also feel like crap after spending time there. Quitting that site and never looking back was a relief i hope you can share.

Unfortunately, I am in a system that handicaps human growth, you don’t/can’t grow up to your full potential when you live in systems like these

If you’re talking about being surrounded by reminders of a system you hate, i can relate. Can you talk more about them without doxxing yourself? If that’s not what you want to talk about, then maybe

I am hyperaware of certain things. Small things, they steal my mental peace, it can be someone honking incessantly on the streets or anything loud or unnecessary

Are you asking about help with anxiety and sensory overload issues? Cuz i can relate there too

No, there’s a rule that the coach can’t talk to the qb something like 10 seconds before any given play.

Isn’t this just a long way to paraphrase Hilary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables”?

I don’t know… I’m sure racism plays a part but to open with

You just need to know these basic facts: In 1980, white people accounted for about 80 percent of the U.S. population.In 2024, white people account for about 58 percent of the U.S. population.

And then bro just follows up this correlation with… with a venting of personal feelings and rampant generalizations.

Did it become trash when i wasnt looking? Cuz i actually thought the intercept was better than this.

Wheres civility when you need them? Civility where are you?

I see the near future/current world as basically RoboCop but more gore and less funny. and also without RoboCop.

Living paycheck-to-paycheck doesn’t necessarily mean hardship, and LendingClub makes the distinction between those can pay their bills easily and those who can’t. Only a fraction of high earners – roughly one in ten – reported issues covering all their household expenses in April, according to the survey.

I guess the distinction is whether it means hardship for LendingClub. Fuck me, imagine reading shit like this credulously.

My favorite one:

Allow Them To Grow Older And More Disillusioned

Letting the world wring the idealism from them should make it easier for Gen Z to stomach a man who, in any other context but an American presidential election, is an unrepentant monster

I wonder. why was Zillow referenced so often in this piece?
