At the moment, I see this as the only real answer. Until there’s proper organization and resistance, everything is lip service.
Mobilization is easy - the protests and marches get people together in solidarity. But organization takes effort: it takes talking to people, getting numbers/contact info, making plans and deciding what’s next…
“mOsT aMeRiCaNs…”
Blah, blah, blah. If you can tell me how to un-fuck this nation in a way that will actually wake people up, I’m all ears. But the way I see it, these things were insidiously marketed to the whole country slowly and incrementally, like frog in a slowly warming pot of water. Those of us who jumped out of the pot are watching in horror as the rest get boiled alive.
The problem is, frogs don’t have opposable thumbs and we can’t turn the gas off - so the pot keeps boiling.
Pray tell, how do you stop them?
I believe they said they were judging you for it.
Sometimes a joke is just a joke. But I get your meaning.
My ex and I were joking about that. I asked her what kind of car would instantly cause her to nope out if someone came to pick her up… “PT Cruiser.” No hesitation.
I am inclined to agree.
As for the “assumed OOP” thing - we all do that, I think. I know I do constantly and have to check myself, even though I think it’s pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. That is, of course, as long as we can all agree about PT Cruisers. ;)
You live in an appearance obsessed fantasy world full of people who say that “YouTuber” and “Influencer” are their #1 career choices.
Sensible people don’t see anything wrong with a Civic.
I don’t want AI in my browser. Period.
Fuck this BS.
Same. My TV is capable of it, but I stream everything off of Jellyfin to a RasPi 5 running Kodi. It just plays. As long as it’s not 480p, I’m happy.
I can’t stand watching things in 4k. It looks so fake to me.
Edit: well, fuck me for voicing my personal opinion.
I have thought more than once over this saga that Epstein wrote a bunch of incriminating shit into his notes for just this purpose.
I’ve often wondered this myself. I am grateful for the effort, and enjoy getting free boobies while I doom scroll… but the amount of time it takes to just sift/post/wank/rinse/repeat must be exhausting.
Jokes, too, seem to be temporary.
That’s why they’re temporary.
Petulant pricks.
And knowing Covid’s, it’ll find a way!
Corvids.
Oh, yeah. That $3.07 settlement covers the damages with a little to spare. Now I can put a down-payment on some French fries.
Agreed. We’re partially awake.
