Do you really think you’re going to get an intern position working between Trump’s FCC chairman and Trump’s CBS owner? Because honestly you might.

It’s really easy to move if you get a running start and really give it some muscle. If you have room in your cartoonishly large suitcase, you can bring your family, your home, your car, your career and your extended family and whatever support systems you have! Also, governments all over the world love when you just drop in unannounced, they set up trampolines and big piles of comfy pillows for you to jump onto safely and everything.

Kayfabeis real, people know it is, they engage with it anyway because they want to have fun in stories and narratives and we’ve all learned that we can make our own reality and get some level of social support for it.

Yah you’re right, hundreds of millions of people just aren’t as smart as you, it must be crushing to have so much clarity and insight that your entire species doesn’t share, the righteous loneliness must be palpable.

Translation: they’re going to make everything else more expensive, like they already do to offset hardware prices.

It’s fantastic and absolutely bonkers how many of the world’s problems will be solved once Trump finally returns to the Earth. How can one man, with so few working brain-cells, cause so much damage and death and chaos.

Yah you’re right, all these poor, hard-working Landlords who serve the people must be protected at all costs, they do so much for the average renter, we can’t dare touch their clockwork perfect system that SOOOO many people love.

Jesus christ, grow a clue.

New York has some of the highest wealth in the country, but woe and damnation if we suggest that maybe they should consider helping us out with shit like roads and garbage and sewers. Nah, let’s let the people working two jobs pay for all that.

“Why can’t we just continue as normal and keep passing the problems down the road?” - New York’s comfortable masses who are already older than dirt and have no stake in the future.

Since there is no such actual thing as “law” when it comes to power and wealth, the best we can do right now is keep the horrors fresh enough for long enough that hopefully the administration collapses (likely) or that we see the current legislative and judicial branch decide to take action (a snowball’s chance in hell) so no, no arrests will happen until the fascies are out of office. And even then, it will hinge on the political will for a new administration or new set of representatives to take on.

There is a very strong chance it will never go anywhere. There are a lot of Epsteins out there and they’re not going to face justice for the exact reason that nobody has wanted to release Epstein’s files, which is it’s tied to too many people and massively destabilizing to governments. We want that, they don’t.

So yes: anyone living there by choice today is a fucking moron.

Simple minds always see simple solutions for enormously complicated problems. Thus, how we got in this situation in America, people believing massive issues have simple causes and solutions. Great to see it’s fully contagious and/or baked into the human condition no matter where you go.

This whole “why don’t you do it first” reply is no more intelligent than saying “I ain’t reading all that” or “the curtains were just blue” or other dumb thought-stopping exercises vomited out by a generation with no attention spans. I reject it, I block those who dump that like they’re somehow doing some good by trying to find hypocrisy in an idea that makes them uncomfortable.

I go the other direction and have just assumed now that everyone has a crippling undiagnosed mental health problem.

Equality for all.

A lot of lefties going to complain about his support for israel, even if modest. But honestly I cannot see another viable candidate in the wings. We have a couple years still but things are getting scary in terms of actual prospects and we’re going to have to throw our hats in with someone (other than Newsom) so Kelly is probably going to be a great bet, he appeals to the largest swath of moderate America who are tuned out and just want to hear that someone strong and professional will keep them in their comforts, and he has enough established clout with the legislative branch that he already has political capital, they won’t be afraid of working with him.

And he’s seen Earth from space, and had to be a caregiver for a wife who was the victim of a political assassination attempt, I imagine that builds all the best kind of character and empathy.

Not one particular thing, but had a friend of a few years suddenly turn evangelical christian after being a pretty chill gamer dude and often hilarious troll online.

Just one day does an about face and now every single fucking conversation comes back to “The Lord” and his faith and Jesus and prayer and do I want to join his church and please let’s talk more about the Kingdom of Heaven and also Trump isn’t that bad, he means well.

Just no, fuck off totally. I can’t deal with someone always trying to push some moral superiority on me, It’s literally like having someone you know die.

There’s a “yo momma” joke in here but I’m still too groggy to make it happen. I’m tagging someone else in.

We are all going to have to start figuring out how to socialize face-to-face again.

Sorry guys, the internet broadly is dying for anything but corporate interests and people with rotten agendas trying to manipulate people. It brings you nothing but stress in your personal lives, why stick to it? Who is using it that you need to spend all day in discord to keep them company? Live for a better tomorrow with actual experiences, dust yourself off and start going out and experiencing the world while you still can.

It does get tiresome going to steam threads and seeing the same copy pasted “don’t ruin the game with woke shit” post up voted to the top.

I don’t think I’ve read a steam forum post in close to a decade, and even then it was a very niche thing I was looking for. I have long since stopped feeling any enjoyment or novelty in seeing completely random people’s thoughts, since in the last few years particularly, people have no intention to communicate and broadly just want attention, which has become monetized so the problem is far worse than it used to be.

Seriously, at some point we’re going to have to accept that the internet is dead or too close to death to be useful for interacting with other humans. I think we all need to stop communicating online on forums and discord and the like, it’s all become weaponized and not enough people are left without agendas and campaigns they’re trying to push. Let’s go back to how we did it for thousands of years and just talk to each other and make real-world friends, leave the assholes and shills and sock-puppets to fight among themselves.

I had to double check that they weren’t just recycling stories, but who would have thought that erosion and geology is still happening even as humans exist and oppose it!

An omen that we can’t fight water.

When water rises, we cannot fight it, there will be mass migrations as coastal cities become unlivable with constant storm surges and rising sea levels in the coming decades.
