But think of the ads we can’t play! THE ADS!
- Comment on Why does it seem like Americans have become so hateful and destructive in the past years? 6 days ago:
Maybe I’m wrong here but to me it feels like they become less human…
Oof, try not to do that. De-humanizing a people is a slippery slope.
If you look at the rhetoric spewed by our president-elect and his flunkies, you can see where many Americans (at least 77mil) get their marching orders. Unfortunately, the rest of us are just left to deal with this bad rap because of it. A lot of it comes from, as others said, propaganda in the media - distraction techniques, obfuscation, identity politics - because it sells. This, of course, also stems from our obsession with capitalism - letting the market and million/billionaires do whatever they want because it’s “good for the economy”. We haven’t matured enough to know that what’s good for the worker is good for the economy (or more insidious theories of this being done purposefully to keep us in “survival mode”).
Many of us who are not as you describe are moving out - a sort-of “vote with your wallets” of what country we support. However, not everyone has the ability to do that, and still others have a desire to fix this country. So, don’t paint Americans with such a broad brush because there are many of us who look at those you are speaking of with shame and disgust.

Underfly
- Comment on Would you do Onlyfans if needed the money? 1 week ago:
I think it’s the Parasocial relationship thing. They pay people to chat with their fans pretending it’s them.

- Comment on Water 2 weeks ago:
Do you have randombullet blocked or is this some weird federation mishap?
- Comment on Water 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, if you think of it, stars are relatively rare in a galaxy when compared to living beings which are born to procreate. But once you go out to universe, it becomes true.
- Comment on Water 2 weeks ago:
You’ll have to prove this one.

Remember when Nickelodeon was in on repairing the Ozone layer? Remember when there was a call-a-thon about it?
- Comment on Anon reads the news 5 weeks ago:
I got it from the top comment’s source, which, it seems “claims” to be his story.
- Comment on Anon reads the news 5 weeks ago:
People are dying. Evil has become institutionalized. Corporations make billions of dollars off the pain, suffering, death, and anguished cries in the night of millions of Americans.
Based.
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 1 month ago:
Alternatively, the government can own it and provide it at very low to no cost because they care about their people having somewhere to live.
- Comment on BACK IT UP 1 month ago:
Sure, but the deed’s already done. At least may something good come out of it…
- Comment on BACK IT UP 1 month ago:
I’m surprised, with all the whale carcasses and roadkill bears, RFK Jr hasn’t already become patient zero for a pandemic.

Yes, make psychedelics legal!

- Comment on How do I... Do court? I didn't realize my license was expired and got pulled over. Now I have court tomorrow. 3 months ago:
I have been assigned public service for the same offense when I could not pay my fine. I worked at a food shelter for a couple of days (sorting donations, packing bags with cans, etc) and was good. You may ask the judge or public defender if that’s an option.
- Comment on How modern is it to have "sympathetic" portrayals of Hell? 3 months ago:
I’m not familiar with the whole of the Sodom and Gamora tale - does it mention the devil and can you show me that part?
- Comment on DarkPattern.games - a website that rates mobile games for their "dark patterns" 3 months ago:
No ads unless you want to “pay” for a free revive. No micro transactions that I’ve seen.
- Comment on Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash? 3 months ago:
I’ve put at least 10 pieces of furniture out on the curb in the last 4 months and they’ve all been taken. It makes me glad that someone can use it.

I didn’t know there was a non-mobile.

- Comment on Let's discuss: Nintendo DS 3 months ago:
I loved my DS Lite. It was so smooth and compact and could play GBA games. I also still play my 3ds.
- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 4 months ago:
That was an amazing read. My hometown was really similar, though maybe not as desolate. Lucky there was a college town close by so we could shop at some place that wasn’t Walmart. This really does sum it up, though, the appeal of Trump out of these smaller rural communities. I like the message at the end, too. Thanks for sharing. 🙏

This is a nice shot. I mean, I guess I’ll have to go check out the fetlife ones to see more of this quality photography.
Also, I’m so salty that someone downvoted all the comments. I know I shouldn’t be but I am.
