- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 1 week ago:
I’d take that chance.
He’s a cult leader. Cults tend to collapse after the cult leader dies. It was so close to the election I don’t think there would have been enough support for another Republican to win in the chaos that would have ensued within the Republican party.
It almost certainly would have resulted in a better future.
Kid shouldn’t have aimed for the head. Harder to hit and nothing there anyway.

In 1995 I considered movies from 1965 old. So, yes.

- Comment on Do you think Social Media is just exaggerated as being placed of being the source of all problems? 3 weeks ago:
As someone who became an adult before social media was a thing, it has absolutely been a detriment to society.
There’s great aspects to it and I utilize them. But as a whole, it has FUUUUCKED us up in a very significant way.
There is a direct correlation between the rise of social media and the absolute nosedive our political discourse has taken. Misinformation is SO much more prevalent now. And that rise in misinformation is definitely having real world effects.

I’m tired, boss.
- Comment on Trump’s Team Calls Europe ‘Pathetic’ in Leaked Signal Group Chat Messages 3 weeks ago:
Gotta love it when a bunch of 4-chan troll man-children are systematically destroying the United States of America.
Gotta love it even more when you realize a significant portion of the country identifies with 4-chan troll man-children and throws their support behind them.
Fall of an empire.

- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Your mom sounds like kind of an asshole. She was alienated from liberalism because she was tired of hearing about a minority being targeted by a fascist party for existing?
That’s some asshole behavior.

I now have no reason to be excited about their platform
I’m excited about the part where they AREN’T FUCKING FASCISTS.
I’m completely numb to anything they say negatively about Trump.
Then Trump has beaten you through attrition, which was his goal.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
We’ve never elected a felon rapist who attempted to overthrow our government.
So clearly something has changed.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Boomers aren’t responsible for all our woes, but they absolutely have pulled up the ladder. That’s not debatable. Voting records prove it.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Saying that boomers hold all the wealth is not correct
They don’t hold ALL the wealth, but they do hold the most. And that allows them to contribute more to political campaigns and have an outsized effect on legislation.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Are we more stupid than we used to be? Yeah. But I’d use the word ignorant instead. It’s a bit more accurate. Ignorance is chosen, and that’s what our current epidemic of stupidity is. Chosen.
There have always been a lot of ignorant people, but now, with social media, those people have platforms to infect others with their ignorance. Also, in my own lifetime, I’ve witnessed a shift from ignorant people still being able to set aside partisan politics to condemn obviously bad actors or decisions to 100% doubling down on partisan politics no matter how bad the person or action is.
I’ve definitely FELT this increase in willful ignorance over the course of my life living in this country. People in my own life choosing to believe things they absolutely would not have believed a couple decades ago. People not understanding super basic concepts.
I think there are other factors than just bad actors spreading ignorance on social media. I think a lot of it has to do with simple distractions. The modern world has so many. A lot of the people I know don’t even read books. Like, they simply don’t read. If I ask them what book they read last they have to concentrate because it was multiple years ago. That’s fucking crazy. Instead of picking up a book they’re watching Real Wives of Whatever. Getting involved in some wealthy person’s 1st world problems, instead of, you know, learning something.
We’re entering an age of concentrated ignorance and, unfortunately, that’s very unlikely to end anytime soon. And the stakes are higher than ever for something like that to happen because we possess greater power to decimate this planet than we used to. Through pollution or braindead child-like politicians who can wage war or launch nukes.
It takes a lot less effort to allow things to keep going the way they are than it does to turn things around and responsibly educate the masses. So we’re probably going to continue spiraling.
Things are going to get dark. Our quality of life will decline.

Love the way that middle-aged woman took down that basement-dwelling neckbeard incel piece of trash.
She’s never going to be able to wash the stink off though.
- Comment on Painkiller - Announcement Trailer 3 weeks ago:
Loved the original Painkiller. The battlefield frozen in time was cutting edge stuff to see in a video game back then.
Hopefully this is released on PC too.

Built a new killer rig last summer. Have spent 90% of my time with it playing HL1 mods.
- Comment on Do you think the US will actually log its national parks? 5 weeks ago:
As an American I confirm that, as a whole, we’re pretty goddamn stupid.
So yeah, I could totally see this happening.

My friend with young cousins was telling me that kids are using “sigma” instead of “cool” now?
“That’s so sigma, bruh.”
The fuck?
- Comment on Why do people give their unwaivering support to autocrats? 5 weeks ago:
Because they failed history class.
And probably other classes as well.
In short, they are not very intelligent.

Family has to earn and maintain your respect just like anyone else.
If they degrade the quality of your life, it’s ok to cut them out to help your own mental health. If they care about you they’ll learn to respect you for who you are…as long as you’re not hurting others with your decisions.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
You’re so young I don’t even know what to say other than if you know he’s your person then you and he need to sit down and hash out a plan to move into your own place together as soon as humanly possible. Like, within months you need to find a space for you and him to exist in together without others.
You’re already trying to manage a relationship while really really young, and I won’t get into why that’s extra challenging. So having someone else around all the time, whether it’s family or roommates, is just not helpful.
You won’t know if this is going to last with your partner until you both have a space of your own. And since you’re married, you need to figure out whether it’s going to work out sooner than later.
Side Advice: You are 16. You are going to change significantly over the next 10-15 years. You need to feel confident that your partner is going to be with you no matter how much you both morph during that extremely transformative time.
- Comment on Realistically, how feasible is it to 100% boycott a massive corporation (such as Amazon) for an extended period of time? 5 weeks ago:
Being poor and living on the edge paycheck to paycheck taught me that there are a whole lot of things you can live without that you didn’t think you could.
You can literally cut all subscriptions out of your life and eat nothing but groceries you buy cheap at a food co-op and you’d be surprised how ok you are.
There’s a LOT of fat you can cut out of your life. And it makes things simpler and simple is peaceful.

Lol. Unlike you, dipshit, I can walk and chew gum at the same time.
It’s something people with more than a few brain cells can do. You wouldn’t understand.
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 5 weeks ago:
Nah loser.
You don’t seem to understand.
You made obscene statements and are now refusing to back them up, because you’re wrong AND lazy.
I didn’t make dipshit statements.
You did.
Back them up or continue being the clown loser you already are.
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 5 weeks ago:
So you’re openly admitting you can’t support any of the ridiculous statements you made?

Captain “I Run this shit” has found me.
Got it wrong. The name is “Captain I Run Trains On Your Mom”.
while the rest of this country works for a living
I’m at work, dipshit. I’m intelligent enough not to have to do manual labor, so I work at a computer. And I work in a position important enough that they don’t censor my internet access, so I can browse Lemmy and talk down to losers like yourself.
your my breakfast
you’re
apparently you’re an idiot
I know when to use apostrophes.
The conservative sub is one of the very few that hasn’t been overtaken by the libs bots yet.
No, it’s been taken over by far right bots. In case you’re not aware of this, like you aren’t aware of a lot of things, /r/conservative is a few hundred neckbeard losers reacting to posts and comments by bots designed to rile up the dumbest Americans. Also, it’s kind of hard to take over a sub when the mods are snowflakes who ban everyone that doesn’t tow the Trump line. /r/conservative is where the most delicate of snowflakes on Reddit hide.
What world are you living in where DT and Fox News are the topics spoken of with high regard on Reddit?
We’re talking about /r/conservative chump. Keep up.
Get a fucking clue.
Get a fucking education.
- Comment on A Tale of Two Greens 5 weeks ago:
Uh oh. Someone thought they were gonna have the same safe space they had on Reddit where everyone with an opinion not provided to them by Donald Trump or Fox News is insta-banned to prevent dissent.
Deal with it snowflake.
The general public isn’t on, nor do they care about, Lemmy.
Go outside, troll.
