I biased against meth, but also afraid of it as well. Doesn’t mean I’m going to go out of my way to try it and assess whether it’s really as bad as they say. I also won’t try out any poison, random pills I find, or anything I have to inject.
Fear is a healthy thing sometimes, mate.

Because Lemmy doesn’t have as many viewers, it’s morally acceptable to contribute to the problem and spread ragebait. Got it.
- Comment on Sickening vid of kid flanked by addicts in dystopian open-air drug market in Dem-run city, San Francisco 1 week ago:
I have been directing my “rage” at the article by saying it’s ragebait. I’m annoyed with you because your missing the fact that it’s manufactured rage bait and your feeding into it by spreading it.
I live in a big city. And guess what? We aren’t cool with drugs here, and so we don’t have fucking zombie streets here.
Yeeaaaaahhh, you probably do. It’s just not on one of the streets you drive by or you’re just not aware of it. Not every city has a place like the Tenderloin in San Fran, but it’s prevalent in literally every city. Hell, if you check out the American Addiction Center website, San Francisco is actually ranked as one of the cities with the lowest drug use in the nation.
- Comment on Sickening vid of kid flanked by addicts in dystopian open-air drug market in Dem-run city, San Francisco 1 week ago:
You’re missing the entire point. The article is just ragebait. I have no issues with people talking about the problem with the drug epidemic or the problem with homelessness in an attempt to bring to an issue to light. Your article is not intended to do that, and I really hope you realize that.
- Comment on Sickening vid of kid flanked by addicts in dystopian open-air drug market in Dem-run city, San Francisco 1 week ago:
This shit is in literally every city. Does it exist in every street? No. Not even remotely, but there’s absolutely an area or two where they tend to hang out at - outside of shelters, or in areas where police have “permitted” their existence there. Even in San Francisco, there’s like a couple areas that are “bad” but my god y’all act like the entirety of San Francisco is that way…it’s not.
The entire point of your posted article/video is manufactured rage. I would never walk with me and my daughter down one of these streets. They purposely recorded their “innocent, young” daughter to walk down that street so they could film something to manipulate gullible people like you into feeling anger over the state of things, like it’s some simple black and white issue. There’s never any nuance with conservative arguments, there never can be. The drug epidemic is bad due to the rise in Fentanyl in general and that shit is prevalent in many rural counties too, but you don’t see it reported, because there isn’t as big of a concentration of people…it’s not as noticeable. If there was an “easy fix” to the drug epidemic it would have been done decades ago…but it’s not. It’s an insanely complex issue.
- Comment on Sickening vid of kid flanked by addicts in dystopian open-air drug market in Dem-run city, San Francisco 1 week ago:
A city by its very nature has a much higher concentration of people. There’s just as big of a drug problem on rural areas but don’t let that detract from the narrative your trying to push.
There’s never a suggestion from conservatives on how to fix it…just “librul cities bad” as if saying that Republicans would be sooo much better.

Conservative anger porn.

- Comment on Jonathan Majors has addressed the rumors he'll return as Kang in the MCU and revealed that Kevin Feige didn't respond to the letter he sent him shortly after his trial 4 weeks ago:
Look. I love good horror, but almost everything in the Conjuring Universe can just die in a fire and we’d be better off for it. It’s all cheap jump scares. The elements of “dread” that they try and instill are so incredibly cheesy, that it’s so hard to take them seriously.

Uhhhh…I would not fuck around with recluses. One bite will melt a golf ball size hole in your flesh. If you really want, you can catch and release but you for sure don’t want them in your house. If they breed, you’re looking at a serious problem.

The modern-day moron’s version of Social Darwinism.
- Comment on We did it! Fandom rebels defeated the looming threat of DEI. 1 month ago:
Everything is DEI if a white man doesn’t have that position. There no way anyone else earned that position on merit. Only white people earn things on merit. It’s not like white men have ever had easier access to jobs, education, positions of power, housing, or anything else…
- Comment on Common Ground 1 month ago:
That’s it how you get people to start moving over to our side here mate. Sure, what they supported is pretty fucked, but if you’re not going to offer people a way to crawl out of the hole they dug themselves in, no one will want to leave the hole.
You’re not wrong for wanting that, but in your righteous superiority, you’re not helping to make anything better.
- Comment on Trump literally referred to himself as "King". Surely conservatives are against a monarchy forming? 1 month ago:
Even as a wildly left progressive, this isn’t cool. Conservatives are necessary as a counterpoint to progressivism in general. Differing views are a good thing as long as they can still work together at the end of the day.
That said, when one group starts stripping the rights of others, whitewashing history, and eliminating free speech? Then yeah, resistance becomes necessary to enact change. And I sincerely hope that the people stripping rights remember that resistance is not always peaceful.
- Comment on Trump literally referred to himself as "King". Surely conservatives are against a monarchy forming? 1 month ago:
<Trump Crowns himself> " God, this is so funny! I bet the liberals are so pissed now. They don’t get that this is just merely just for show." <Trump dissolves the Senate> “He’s the best! He’s doing exactly what he said he would do, he just permanently drained the swamp! Wooo! Trump saved America.” <Trump strips away the rights of low-value citizens> “Hell yeah! Why should I have to fund their pathetic existence! America is the greatest Democracy.”
I guarantee they will always find a way to pay homage their golden idol.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 month ago:
No, it’s intended to show their real intent. He has an entire PR team dedicated to trying to make him appear intelligent, competent, and in control. However his actions speak so much louder than words. He’s barely able to contain himself. Luckily, his living flak jacket that he wears around is learning to speak and his hilariously repeating all of the things he says in private.

What about that roughly $0.04 of your money so Trump could go to the Superbowl? I mean if we’re being nitpicky here…
- Comment on Is anyone planning on doing anything about trump creating a concentration camp at guantanamo bay? 2 months ago:
Honestly? Probably not.
Will it suck? Absolutely, but me and my wife make great money and just consolidated a bunch of our stuff to buy our forever home. We’re liquid probably $100k, and that’s not even touching retirement finances or other investments. I 100% want to help where I can with protesting and organizing stuff, but I won’t be in a state where I’m willing to be Luigi 2.0 anytime soon. Like. Even if we were to both lose our jobs, we’re comfortable for at least 2-3 years before we have to start worrying.
- Comment on Is anyone planning on doing anything about trump creating a concentration camp at guantanamo bay? 2 months ago:
The people in power that are supposed to stop this aren’t. AOC is trying to rally people, but not sure how effective it’s going to be yet.
Anything you do as an individual is likely to fail and only make things way, way worse. So you tell me man…what should I do that I’m not already doing?
- Comment on Is anyone planning on doing anything about trump creating a concentration camp at guantanamo bay? 2 months ago:
I dunno man…are you? I can’t afford to go to prison. I have three kids that rely on me for sustenance and a house. Nothing that Trump administration does is going to make life more difficult for me currently. I’m emailing politicians, trying to make good points online, and protest. I think that’s all I can do right now. Now, if my family is threatened, or I can no longer provide for my family, then we’ll talk again.

He’s pardoned his own citizen gestapo. No matter what they do, he can just pardon them. Even if the police arrest them, they can just get pardoned.

Like, I get it…I get their issues with capitalism. But it’s not like socialism won’t have it’s own problems.
Personally, I’d rather not go through a bloody civil war in order to inact a new system, because I know that my children are going to be the ones that have to suffer that nightmare. I’d much rather try to fix the problems of our current system than start from the beginning with a brand new one.
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 3 months ago:
Men that have been captured by the “alpha” and “masculinity” culture don’t realize that it makes them fucking radioactive. They are literally the reason why women choose the bear. Boys thinking that they have to be hyperbolic, over-aggressive, possessive, manipulative assholes in order to be a “man” are the exact reason that they are lonely.
These men don’t have a god given right to just “have” a girlfriend.
