  • I mean, Harris and the Dems didn’t even try, like seriously. Getting Beyonce and all the other celebrities our fellow moronic Americans already see as members of the illuminati is not trying, it’s literally the opposite

    I mean, they spent $50m+ in fuckin Ohio! We lost fuckin Georgia while they were jerking off Cheney’s and trying to convince white folks in the suburbs not to be who they are

    It’s legit insane to see the party straightup abandon working class demographics. Then again, this is the same party that now literally spends millions of dollars each primary on getting votes for Republican politicians





  • Haha. It’s a decent corporate job. Dude’s surely been saving up. He seems way more responsible than me, and I’ve definitely at least got like a 3 month emergency fund, but I do live with my mom now which helps. No idea what his situation is but I assumed he probably went to live w/ his parents or something


  • Hmm… not bad. I only watched 5ish min, but he seems genuine - that is to say, he realizes he fucked up, not that he’ll actually change anything

    More interesting, to me, as someone that had only heard about this from headlines, you can clearly see the mental illness pervasive in his community by looking at the comments and even moreso by looking at the guy’s room. Dude is someone we should pity, not hate - granted I understand influencers having massive platforms, and well influence

    Still, I wish we could be more like the Palestinians and Arabs he mentions, that checked on him to see if he was ok, instead of the knee-jerk, quick to react Americans we are, that are ready to pounce on a fallen neighbor enemy and eager to find ways we’re different to further divide ourselves







  • I stopped clicking on android authority links after they faked a drop test to make an iPhone look good

    That said, what are people using nowadays or what. I tried skiff earlier this year and then it almost immediately announced they were stopping their email service

    I can’t imagine the stress if I’d had anything important I needed to transfer to another email. I mean, besides losing everything of course

    Edit: relevant absolutely ridiculous, watching it again. No shame! I wonder if they ever even addressed it




  • All 10 of us here stand united on this most exquisite and elevated of horses!

    It’s so weird to be content with/amused by this situation. Feels like Alexandria was just built nextdoor, fisherman have started to arrived with massive boats and high-quality nets, and here we are, the old fishermen pushed off our original fishing site yet full of glee that we don’t have to pay taxes in Alexandria. It’s like, this isn’t really a successful venture, right? We’re not really thriving like we were in the past, are we? We’re likely never going to get anything like that back either, huh

    Idk, maybe my values just don’t give me enough internal validation yet, to feel good about it or something. The only consolation I see really is that I don’t think the time spent online is very worthwhile anyway. What I liked most was the community but it’s become clear most of that was never real

    I recently learned about dysthymia - basically a form of long-term functioning depression. Idk why I’d never heard about it before, but it for sure resonates with my experience.

    Apparently, we should be able to get ~50/50 external/internal validation. For example, most healthy people can apparently do chores or something and get an internal sense of accomplishment that supports the external validation that is having completed chores.

    The problem is, for some folks (hi there) we can’t really put up the internal validation part. Like, I’d be expecting the completed chores to make me happy, but that’s just not how it works. I need to be active in validating myself and saying something like, “good job dude!”

    That shit is hard - especially if it’s like the total opposite of what you heard growing up.

  • I just read it as supporting third parties. I thought you were going to mention what happens if a third party were to get more votes but not a majority. I actually don’t know. Would there still be a runoff between Dem and Rep or would the third party actually win it? I’d assume theres some rule that the third party has to win a majority or some bs
