- Comment on What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for? 1 day ago:
Oh I have a good one for this
I am an introverted loner who enjoys time spent solitary.
But I do have a social life, date, work. So I am aware that there are other people who spend every day doing something social with others and get frustrated if they have to spend any amount of time by themselves just in their own company.
I believe(d) that time spent alone with yourself and your thoughts is psychologically healthy, helps you figure out who you really are and lets you sort out your beliefs and desires.
So I thought society should change in such a way that there was a mandatory month out of every year where we all spent the entire time locked away in our homes getting essentials delivered.
Now imagine my surprise in 2020 when I actually got what I wanted and it drove a significant chunk of the population absolutely insane.

I think we’re 20 years away from a lot of vaping law suits. Lots of people think they’re healthy despite the evidence.

What else could possibly be happening? You guys are talking about these like they’re subsidies.
- Comment on Data centers get tax breaks. Not you though. 1 week ago:
Exactly, thus the tax exemption to change that behavior. Foregoing tax revenue you were never going to get to help local businesses.
- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 1 week ago:
You earn the ability to take take time off that you need for personal stuff after you’ve proved yourself to the employer. When you’re young they expect you to forgo that doctor stuff
- Comment on Data centers get tax breaks. Not you though. 1 week ago:
Yea but it helps make sure the purchasing of said equipment goes to local suppliers. If they buy from out of state there is no revenue anyways, at least this benifits the local economy.
- Comment on Data centers get tax breaks. Not you though. 1 week ago:
State government foregoing potential tax revenue to guarantee the purchasing of equipment from in-state suppliers. There is a logic to it.

That’s not too bad. I love the idea of animals on a homestead but I couldn’t handle it if they required medical attention

Yeah but while killing the boars another guy comes round and helps you kill some quicker and then you team up and go around helping anyone else you come across
- Comment on Cultural impact 4 weeks ago:
These are movies you only want to watch in the theatre with 3D, and cultural impact requires the youth to obsessively re-watch the media at home.
- Comment on Cultural impact 4 weeks ago:
There are people overseas who have only ever been to the theatre to see Avatar because it’s like a theme park ride
- Comment on An 82-year-old YouTuber grandma was raided by police and SWATs during her live stream last night where she plays Minecraft to raise money for her grandsons cancer. Authorities brought 20 police cars 4 weeks ago:
Reminder that SWAT was created in response to the black panthers. It’s a Jim Crow tool for dealing with uppity blacks that know their rights.

Doesn’t even need to be eliminated parasites.
“I am solving the problem by taking the medicine, and I am smart because I’m using a secret medicine they don’t want me to know about” causes the brain to release the good feelings chemicals which does make you feel better.

- Comment on Starfield PS5 players demand refunds, reporting widespread bugs and glitches that leave the game "unplayable" 2 months ago:
I played 300 hours of this game when it came out and stopped playing right before the final mission.
You can definitely tell it all went wrong when they decided to do thousands of procedural generated worlds instead of a tight dozen or so.
Another aspect where they went wrong was having the Constilation home base be on the capital planet instead of being your space ship. You know, like how it is on every sci-fi show from Firefly, to Star Trek, to The Expanse.
I’ve played so many Bethesda games that the tricks they used to make the engine and environments seem larger and more sophisticated stick out like a sore thumb.
All that is to say, there was absolutely a great game in Starfield somewhere.

- Comment on Does anyone actually have a plan after Trump and clean up? Try as he might he's not in there forever. Can we be allies again with old ones while trying to stregthen ties with new one? 2 months ago:
The problem ultimately is that the demographic that supported trump still thinks they’re correct in their beliefs, they just think trump was either manipulated into being bad or went senile.
The billionaire class is only accumulating more power, and they will throw their support behind anyone who vows to increase tribalism and hasten institutional decline - because thats how they’ll make more money and get away with crimes.
The rot in America will survive Trump.

Sounds like right-wing misinformation to me.
Just as a casual fact check, the JCPOA was signed into law in 2015 and the clock in Palestine square appeared in 2017

Same, I used to wonder why the looney tunes characters always treated steak as this big delicious thing when my experience with it was disgusting dried shoe leather that required 3 cans of coke to get down.

Ridiculously Anti-Semitic.
Conflating religious jews with right-wing isrealis is obviously stereotyping, but let’s set that aside…
No one is controlling Donald Trump. No one is forcing him to do things. Donald Trump is bombing Iran because he wants to feel powerful, not because he is being manipulated by a shadowy figure behind the scenes (also an anti-semitic trope).
If you posted this, or upvoted this, or chuckled reading this then you’re a stupid person and if you’d been born in a rural red county you’d be the a huge trump supporter.

When my parents were kids, their home-ec class consisted of repeatedly hammering into their heads to cook meat at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or eose they’d get sick because the refrigeration was so unreliable
- Comment on Strange are afoot at the Walter Reed 2 months ago:
The unshakable right-wing belief that they can simply hit someone hard enough to get them to do what the want meets the reality of no country in history has ever surrendered from bombing
- Comment on What is likely to happen when/if trump dies? 2 months ago:
The immediate thing that would happen would be spontaneous dancing in the streets.
But to the point of your question, I see things splitting in the following ways:
RFK jr health grifter faction
JD Vance silicon valley faction
Fuentes/Owens antisemitism faction
I think there is going to be real right-wing schism over isreal. RFK jr is a boomer and will back isreal out of conditioning, the SV tech industry is in deep with the isreali MIC, and young republicans are motivated foremost by racism/mysogyny/anti-semitism.
