I didn’t preclude continuing to take action. I voted for Harris and will continue to vote for the most sane candidate in each election, primary and general. Same for down ballot.
Never once said the plan was to wait it out. I simply said the insanity perpetrated by the previous generations looks to be on borrowed time — an obvious assertion probably, but an assertion nonetheless.
Maybe my intent is cleared up now.
I’m optimistic in the future generations, yes. And you’re right, at any given moment, there’s a bell curve that can describe the way people are for an event or a trend or an age. I suppose I see the younger generations as moving the curve along an axis toward a better world.
I may very well turn out to be wrong. But I’ll be dead by then.
Of course it’s more than just the boomers. But once those two generations are dead and gone, they take their lack of empathy and their unfettered narcissism with them.
And I know a few boomers who got plenty of their bullshit from those sites because those sites were just a circlejerk of Fox News lies.
I’m not saying younger generations won’t also have a collection of morons as well, but those generations grew up with this nonsense and they will forever remember the kind of country and world that was left to them.
Boomer generation will be dead soon. And Gen X isn’t too far behind. This bullshit is already time-limited.
Odd, I seem to remember reading the exact same headline in 2020. Perhaps Americans just hate life in America because of 60 years of nonstop existential bullshit.
The downward spiral of education, the constant fight or flight news cycle, and the rise of the unfettered oligarchy have vastly contributed to the current state of America.
I’m reminded nearly every day of Carl Sagan’s “foreboding” quote from “The Demon-Haunted World”.
I agree on everything except that once a person reaches the age of reason, they can no longer blame their upbringing for their mental inadequacies, barring any real mental disability. At some point people have the ability to think for themselves — they simply choose not to because humans, like electricity, follow the path of least resistance.
At that point they are responsible for their own education, bigotry, and hatred.
So then their god can stop the hurricane and the democrats, right? 🤣
Someone better be polishing the Darwin Awards.
I adore you. Haven’t laughed this hard in a while.
It’s simple really. Be honest and reasonable to the judge, and they will likely be reasonable back especially if this is a first offense. Give only as much information as requested, though, never offer information unless you’re certain it won’t be used against you.
It’s the most toxic instance I’ve ventured into (and admittedly have this account on). People spread lies and vitriol here about as much as Twitter and Reddit.
Ha! See?
I have empathy for people who have empathy themselves. Many of voters in Florida elected these morons, they’re not held hostage except to their own inability to critically think. The elected officials gerrymandered, put judges in place that don’t strike the gerrymandering down, and then the rest of us have to show empathy toward them? Yeah, no.
Sure, for those who are intelligent and didn’t vote for these assholes, I feel bad for them and wish them well.
But clearly much of Florida’s population asked for this — so to those people, you reap what you sow.
That’s a shame. Thoughts and prayers.
Price controls are the only viable solution if monopolies aren’t broken up and if collusion is rampant effectively removing competition. While I know of no direct evidence While I do not know of any direct evidence of collusion between grocers, the effects seem quite clear to me when nearly every grocer seems to be taking in record profits while many groceries are still 2-5 times higher than just five years ago.
Also, if this issue is the litmus test for some people on whether they would vote for Trump over Harris, those people should have their head examined. While Harris lacks some specifics here, Trump has nothing — plus he’s a lying, misogynistic, sociopathic convicted felon — so yes, I agree, Harris is the obvious choice.
Edit> Word change to more accurately represent my intent.
No shit. Senior devs have been saying this the whole time. AI, in its current form, for developers, is like handing a spatula to a gourmet chef. Yes it is useful to an extremely small degree, but that’s it…for now.
I mean literally every privacy advocate, doctor, and simple critical thinker knew what effect overturning Roe would have. It takes a while for someone with a spine to stand up to the obvious infringement of privacy rights — but we all knew what the major problems would be, years in advance of Dobbs.
Georgia is such a shit state, filled with so many shit people. I hope to get the hell out of here as soon as is feasible.
Oh, my mistake. I didn’t mean to offend anyone’s sensibilities where Musk would get exactly what he deserves. But thanks for making me a better person.
Make sure to forget the lube when probing him. And make him bleed.
Edit> Found the Musk fanboys :)
Illegal lottery in Pennsylvania, okay.
But how does this not also violate FEC regulations and, you know, US law? He’s literally paying people to vote and the implication is to vote for his specific candidate.
