No

An interesting variation on this I’ve heard that I think illustrates why it’s so inflammatory (and thus my issue with it even if I agree fully with what it’s saying) is changing it to whether you’d feel more comfortable with a Christian or Muslim at night in the woods.

Like I used to be racist against Russians because I’m Russian originally and I’ve tons of lived experience around Russians and I would sooner pick just about any other nationality before Russians to be around, I’m justified in this just as I’m justified in feeling that way about men, but at the same time, it’s no less inflammatory to say.

It’s all just ragebait. That’s why unlike many nuanced feminist arguments or discussions about male violence you’ve actually heard of it and see it on the internet, it generates engagement. Doesn’t excuse the harassment, but it explains it. Is it really so productive to get worked up all the time?

Plenty of nice scientific info in the thread but from a personal experience as someone who used to hit the bong 3x daily for months, it makes you okay with being bored, it’s instant entertainment, and at the end of it you feel stupid because you wish you’d done something with the time and been bored more to get that spark of creativity to come through.

Idk the AI tools are pretty helpful and they don’t fit with the rest as they’re FOSS and free as in free beer. Just pirate the Adobe products too, there’s still nothing quite like Photoshop and lightroom and premiere

It’s honestly what they deserve at this point. Honestly misinformation is a spook. Just Google it, if you’re wrong it’s your fault.

You’ve got the coolest instance name I’ve seen btw! Not sure if it’s depression lofi band or a real thing but awesome either way

Delusional

That’s on them at this point

Mfer what part of “he received it in 2022” do you not comprehend?

Lol this mfer can make them into breeder slaves from Mad Max Fury Road and they’d just vote even harder for him next time.

It’s just joever, people prefer authoritarianism over freedom, even reproductive freedom or bodily autonomy, they are sheep that need to be led where to go and told what to think.

Let’s just say the vast majority of the country are morons

2 and 3 mostly, but I’d like to add:

4. Neolibs who can’t see past their own nose that the old world of Bush, Gore, Obama, Romney, McCain, Clintons are all gone and the people actually need and want big ideas and simply tinkering with the neoliberal worldview isn’t going to appeal even if the ideas might work because they just haven’t in so long. Bidenomics this, GDP that, most people work 2 jobs to live in slums. It is actually okay if things get worse if it’s to a greater purpose and things get better eventually, what people hate is slow incessant tweaking of nuanced details far beyond them of what they see as a failed system

Americans talk about America and Europeans talk about Europe, more news at 11.

He received it in 2022 and Azov really is a neo-nazi unit so it’s perfectly plausible, I say this as someone who is generally pro-Ukraine’s right to self-defense and self-determination and anti-Putin (and have been long before the war due to LGBT issues)

The DNC needs to go. All of it. Literally just gone. There needs to be a real left grassroots party that maintains a much more tight ideological vision and focuses internally.

We could have some pizza and milkshakes and watch a cool 80s movie?

Yeah exactly, this is also why they should’ve just left the confederacy alone /s

Not to mention people that are just not American nor live in the US, but take an interest during the election, which is about true in the rest of the west.

I didn’t really consider that. Having no computer other than a phone is pretty crazy
