I struggled with this for a long time too.

I’m going to do the meme here and say “reading theory” helps a lot but it’s true. It helped me anyway. Particularly anything relating to propaganda. If you think people are stupid it is likely they were made stupid with willful intent. They are victims and the correct people to hate are the people vested in keeping it that way.

I also learned a lot from reading about Che. He confused me when I was younger because for someone who talked about love so much he committed an awful lot of violence. A true romantic if there ever was one.

We could get extra lucky too and Trump dies 3 weeks into office and we get 12 years of that fucking psychopath

did she even make enough of a dent to play spoiler? it’s like getting mad at someone for eating one of your chips but you own the frito lay company

I swear to god if/when they go full on support for Palestine now I’m gonna get fucking whiplash.

The alternative is Trump does a Reagan and tells Israel to knock it off and the libs go even more frothing mad.

Either way I’m gonna fucking lose my mind.

The 2032 election is the most important election of our lives. If you see a non-white non-male trying to VOTE please contact the authorities.

Me and my idiot friends were saying hog in middle school 20 years ago.

TES6 is going to suck because over the course of 20 years Bethesda has simply refused to learn anything about modern game design.

I’ve been plugging away at Kenshi for a few days trying to figure out where the fun was and wasn’t finding it.

Today I inadvertently stumbled into the Dust King tower and now I’m rich and starting a mega base.

Is it presumptuous and arrogant to say that there are no unicorns, sasquatches, or dragons?

Yes. Universe is pretty damn big and I ain’t seen all of it.

lmao got me

if I had to pick I’m going atheists because at least they haven’t launched a holy war or crusade

I’m agnostic these days, mostly because I don’t claim to know anything about what happens to you after you die. Nobody fucking knows and claiming you are certain “nothing” happens is just the other side of the “faith” coin.

Which is funny, I am a “nothing happens” believer but I wouldn’t call myself an atheist. It’s just way too presumptuous and arrogant imo.

Additional hot take: if someday atheism became a larger movement it would absolutely be capable of reproducing many of the same atrocities made in the name of religion

wym they’re right

Not sustainable for who? Cheap advertising is sustainable, preferable for companies even. The people getting paid poorly to hawk Hello Fresh might have some sustainability issues but they’re just the same old standard Capitalism issues.

I don’t know, this person maybe saying “Capitalism isn’t sustainable” and that was the point they were making. But it reads like a normie shitting on people trying to get by.

this is my “basic level humanity horse” actually my moral high horse was killed by Elizabeth Warren

My response to people who say “if we don’t vote for Kamala then X will happen to Y here at home…” has just been “Why can’t she do both?” If they continue after that then I just say “If the price for my rights is thousands of dead Palestinians, I refuse to bargain with the devil.”

Ranged always ranged no matter the setting. Give me a bow or a sniper or a PPC please.

Thank god these soros bux keeping coming in otherwise I’m leaving you dirty commies in the dust

Satisfactory. The factories keep getting bigger and bigger and producing fewer and fewer parts.

I’m currently feeling heavy decision paralysis. Do I build a second gigantic factory to produce motors or do I build a railroad across the entire map and transport them instead?

Every single aspect of voting in this country is a system of hedging bets. It is a tangled mess of yarn, fishing line, cables, and hair. Unfucking a single piece of it wouldn’t fix it, nor is anyone even willing to try. The system cannot correct itself and voting is a useless waste of time. The only way to “Save Democracy” would be to burn it all down and go again.

C-suites executives not being able to handle the extreme rigors of business lunches and day drinking is pathetic.

They wouldn’t make it half a shift at a Taco Bell before intentionally walking into traffic.
