The amount of people I knew who were like, “There’s no way Hillary could lose so I don’t need to vote,” or, “Bernie got fucked so I’m not voting out of spite,” were too damn high

The “best” part was seeing how low the voter turnout was in our district that typically leans blue, well in 2016 the turnout was hella low and it went hella red for the first time in a long time

Looking at raw numbers the red was pretty consistent from election to election but that year so many people who would vote blue didn’t vote that it swung the election

Felt bad but now those people I know haven’t missed a single election

What’s really crazy is that sometimes the placebo can still bring people relief even after knowing that it’s a placebo

Sometimes

Usually I think of a one time donation as a purchase price for me or sometimes an annual subscription fee depending on how much I use it

Though the amount I put down ain’t much, I still think it’s a good idea

My least favorite is when you go back to watch season 1, enjoy it, then watch the new season and you can’t even finish it due to how different it is

But instant gratification go brr

Seriously though, the amount of people I ask “what kinds of hobbies do you have” and they reply that they don’t have any is honestly pretty sad

There’s a lot of hobbies that you can get into for really cheap to free, they just spend all of their free time on social media

Unfortunately it seems so

A based take for sure

I’m planning to start supporting the instance I’m on soon due to how good of a job they’re doing

With the new free time you’ll be getting you’ll have plenty of time to practice

See that’s where a lot of people go wrong

Automate what you can but don’t tell anyone and don’t turn it in any faster

Make your deadlines and be one with the chill

I’ve never had issues with Firefox on Android, and because I use Firefox on desktop I can sync my browsers between devices

Honestly I find it faster on my phone than chrome

Straight up IMO Andor is the best Star Wars show to come out on Disney plus

The other Star Wars shows that came out on steaming are pretty meh

Mando was pretty damn good season 1 but quickly turned meh

Star Wars Visions is worth the watch IMO as some cool Star Wars content but it’s pretty different than the other Star Wars shows which makes it better

My roommate and I enjoyed Andor, Loki, and some of the other Star Wars stuff

But yeah their selection is pretty limited, which is why we cancelled our subscription awhile ago

I feel like I’m missing something here

Why do people say they’re crazy?

For context I have no idea who this “Empress” is

Gormadt, 2 years ago (edited 2 years ago)

At no point did I dispute the accusations, I simply asked out of curiosity why people say Empress is crazy.

As for why I referred to her as they, I honestly didn’t notice that I did. I typically use gender neutral terms when referring to people simply out of habit.

Ah that explains a lot and they do sound pretty unhinged

Thanks for the link

Hell one could argue that memes are as old as social constructs

So they could in all likelihood predate moden humans

Gormadt, 2 years ago

Not only is it a great origin, that’s a fantastic article on it

Thank you so much for sharing

Gormadt, 2 years ago

Correct

So basically what I’m saying is that there’s a lot of people gatekeeping what a meme is without understanding what a meme is

Or if they’re referring to the first of the definitions in the screenshot I shared, not understanding that different people can find things humorous

The biggest meme of all is our spoken languages

People lying on the Internet?

They can’t do that, that’s wrong

It’s classic whataboutism

It’s a diversion tactic

Basically the person you replied to was attempting to divert attention away from the topic at hand because they have no defense for the actions described

In short: “Bad thing happened over there what about that huh? How can you criticize X over here if Y happened over there?”

Different spaces of the fediverse are for sure

Especially Hexbear

That place is a toxic cesspool of genocide apologia as long as the genocide was done by a fascist that pays lip service to communism.

Our instance (Blahaj) was defederated for awhile but for some reason we’re federated again

And the admin has been silent on the matter since it was pointed out

It’s really annoying seeing their bullshit all over the place again
