I have come across a lot’s of people like these. like 99% of them. Sometimes it makes me think twice if what i am saying is wrong? What’s wrong with them. Is it so hard to swallow your pride and acknowledge that the other person is speaking facts? When they come to know they are wrong they proceed to insult/make fun of...
On the other side of the coin - why do so many people give others shit for being wrong, especially in areas where right or wrong has no real consequences?
I don’t have anything against Google services that work. Gmail, docs, drive…all good stuff. But I search stuff constantly, and I’ve moved away from Google to MSN, DDG, and whatever AI engine might help because Google sucks. I’m tired of having to sift through 10 BS SEO content scraped sites, a dozen sponsored sites, 20 fking YouTube videos (I don’t need a 20 minute video to tell me the oil service indicator reset procedure for a Toyota when the procedure is to hold 2 buttons for 10 seconds) before I can actually find what I’m looking for in a concise and simple format. A decade ago Google was the shit and if your Google-fu was strong you could find anything on the internet if it existed. Now you see what they want you to find. No more, no less. I hate that.
That’s an interesting take. Conservatives tend to have an image of hypocrisy - ie, maybe treat a woman well, yet seek to restrict her legal rights or prevent women from protections, and they seem to think that this hypocrisy cannot be questioned. They never like being called out or questioned on it.
We got my husband some Helly Hansen boots the year before last and we noticed a hole in them last year. I am right pissed. If I’m dropping hundreds of dollars on boots, I expect to get my money’s worth. What are your awesome boot suggestions to help me do just that?
How is your part of the world doing (both current and future prospects) compared to how it was 30/40 years ago? Please say where you are in the world....
Hardy seems worth reiterating as it’s always in the news, but the US seems like it’s in overall decline for most any reason you can think of. Rising disparity, falling buying power for the average person, stagnant wages, increasing costs, rising political instability, rise of the far right with literal calls for civil war, rise of the far right looking to tear down any social, environmental, educational, or scientific advancements, the steady march towards oligarchy and corporatocracy, and then there’s the global climate crisis speeding up and the realization that we’ve been lied to about saving the world with recycling and EVs while the corporations rake in billions and pollute remorselessly.
30-40 years ago the economy looked steady, you could save the world by filling the recycle bin, and you could afford an education, home, and maybe retirement if you followed the “go to college and get a good job” path that generations before had followed.
Subjectively and objectively I’d say we’re worse off.
Sure, there’s some potential bright spots. Advances in medical care (that you probably can’t afford), fusion power advances (that will probably arrive too late to do any good), rising renewable energy (fought every step of the way by anti-environmental types), and a resurgence in the labor movement (also fought every step of the way by the wealthy and corporations), at least that’s something.
Why do most people refuse to accept that they are wrong

Stuff like memes from people you think are wrong politically, cartoons you don’t find funny, etc etc. Why help the things you hate spread?

Do the right wing women in relationships with right wing guys think it's like a draco malfoy thing where they're a good guy underneath?
