- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 1 day ago:
Spend some time figuring out what your core principles are. Once you have identified those, use them as your “guiding light” when you encounter news or points of view, and constantly refer back to those principles to keep yourself centered.
- Comment on Why do conservatives define being fascist solely as "being violent?" 1 week ago:
Because it suits them to. That is really all there is to it. “Fascism” got such a universally bad name, that even (almost all) fascists dont want yo call themselves such. Instead, they try to use this negatively associated word to describe the people fighting against them.
- Comment on Why didn't he just call on his powers to stop the bullet? 1 week ago:
I want to know if they tested him for fentanyl. I mean, sure, a bullet to the neck isn’t good for you, but how do we know it wasn’t a drug OD that actually killed him?

You’ve taught me this lesson only several comments ago. My eternal gratitude for this impartment of zen-like wisdom.

It’s the exact same thing, sweaty. All things are the same. Every person is the same. Every opinion is the same. Every death is the same.

I don’t give a shit what you think of me.
- Comment on Elon Musk is trying to silence Microsoft employees who criticize Charlie Kirk 2 weeks ago:
Charlie’s job was propaganda. He laundered the fascist ideology into mainstream discourse. If my coworker said some of the awful shit Charlie said, I’d just think he was a racist piece of shit, but I wouldn’t celebrate his murder (nor would I mourn it). But Charlie had an audience of millions, and was paid handsomely to spread his fascist propaganda. I opened my nicest bottle of scotch when I heard the news.
- Comment on THIS JUST IN: FBI suspects Kirk was likely targeted, more info to come 2 weeks ago:
For real. One dork gets beat up in DC, and here comes martial law.
- Comment on A love story 4 weeks ago:
One time, I was in New York-- it was around Christmas, may have even been new year’s eve. Anyway, me my wife and our friend were walking around and after awhile, we all needed a bathroom. What do we see? A “Charmin” sponsored bathroom um, ‘store’. There was a line that started on the street to get up one story where the bathrooms were, but it was moving along pretty steady. When we got upstairs it was a big square room, with bathroom doors lining 3 sides-- maybe 15 in all. Each door had an led number above it. There was some kind of carnival music playing, and “Charmin” employees milling about who would cheer and clap every time someone exited a bathroom. It was very weird.

- Comment on Does vibe coding sort of work at all? 2 months ago:
You don’t have to be a genius to learn programming, but it actually isn’t for everyone. Some people will never “get it” in any reasonable amount of time studying. Don’t ask me how I know!
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 3 months ago:
I don’t hate it, but I don’t like it either. Unless I’m doing something very physical, I don’t really get thirsty. If I do drink water, it’s almost always carbonated since I actually enjoy it.

I hope they learn it before this is all over.
- Comment on That about sums it up 5 months ago:
Well described. I had this feeling for like 40 years before I really understood that it wasn’t like a personal failing. Treating it now, and wish I had done so sooner.
- Comment on A bit of salt makes it taste more savory 5 months ago:
How can you have a problem with Cowbee? They are the most well-read and patient poster that I see on Lemmy. I can understand disagreeing, but saying Cowbee is “pushing shit” isn’t accurate.

- Comment on Should visitors to a country (tourist / visa-holders / people staying temporarily) have the right to criticize the government? When should an immigrant have the right to criticize the government? 5 months ago:
Right wingers don’t stop with immigrants. “Love it or leave it” applies to everyone as far as they’re concerned.
- Comment on Is there a name for when stupid people accuse you of their faults? Is that projection? 6 months ago:
Projection, or machiavellianism.

GW Bush killed a million people and the media treats him like a sweet grandpa.

It’s wasn’t the scream, it was the concerted gas lighting from the media that sunk Dean. It could have been anything. The establishment didn’t want him, so they manufactured a reason to end his campaign.
- Comment on I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this? 7 months ago:
Just engage. Make sure you are fully committed to not being a creep, and play your part. Lots of youngsters want and need older role-models/mentors/whatever. As long as you are clear with maintaining and signaling your boundaries, it can be a really positive experience for everyone.
