Can you share some of those tricks please? I just want to ignore it at this point as there is shit I can do to stop it anyway and nobody that can stop it cares a single shit either so… Yeah, I just want to sleepwalk, just enjoy the little bit that’s left and act like tomorrow will he all fine

As is tradition

And so far, what have we done?

Pretty much nothing. We’ve done a lot of pretending with “let’s recycle plastics”, which them just get dumped anyway because fuck you, that’s why.

We’re slowly slowly moving to electrical cars instead of pushing hard for bicycles and public transportation. Profits over anything else!

We’ve implemented.next day deliveries, because THAT is important. Fuck your winter

The US just choose a climate change denier who put a guy in charge of the EPA that can’t stop talk about pushing businesses and economy and oil.

The world is lead by narcissistic psychopaths and everyone just lets them.

Dear god are you really that naive? The Russian government WANTS this, not to topple itself but to stay in power as they can now control the narrative. You go home hungry? It’s America’s fault. Your son died in a senseless war? Well America is invading us and he died a heroes death

As trump has shown; people will support anything stupid and ridiculous as long as they’ve been told it’s their best option

Want to organize a protest? Good luck, now that all forms of encryption have been removed and we see all messages

Can you please for the love of everything that is holy not build a USA seawall with uglyass concrete blocks? Please make natural dunes, see the Netherlands, again

Jews for Hitler!

You want the US army not to have 50 caliber rifles? That might not be a good idea

Yeah the problem is that the other side says the exact thing, with the difference that they aren’t oppressed, they simply lost the “right” to oppress others

Baphomet! Baphomet! Baphomet!

I really believed that…

Uh-huh… There is a long, LONG list of bullshit that he believed, and continues to believe. There comes a point where we either have to accept that he has the mental level of a 5 year old believing in Santa Claus, or that he is a narcissistic compulsive liar.

Teams is the fuckin worst.

At this point I prefer to Skype before I’d teams, and I hate Skype with a passion already.

Call quality is abysmal compared to meet, it’s a continuous crash, feature suddenly inexplicably doesn’t work, and what not more. There is always somebody who can’t get video turned on all of the sudden, always effin around with audio and this morning o cut off a teams call and decided to call the person by phone because that at least worked.

Fuck. Teams.

Aarrrrr, I spotted a mythical jellyfin, strrrrraight ahead! It’s even new and shiny!

Been doing that all my life. For that you have water tight bags on your bike.

Also, you’ll have much more smaller supermarkets dotted all over the place, instead of one Walmart for an entire city. You just go and quickly buy the stuff you will use that day.

It really isn’t an issue

Stop being a teenage edgelord. I’ve seen the likes of you come and go and be absolutely worthless all my life, and you’re just sad.

He’s awesome because he fucked a porn star while his wife was pregnant?

Or is he awesome because he stole from his own charity?

Is he awesome because he’s so disrespectful?

Is he so awesome because he goes on these weird nonsensical rants like the nuclear one?

Is he awesome because he estranged all the US allies, making the US weaker than ever before?

Is he awesome because he withdrew from a base in such a hurry that when Russian forces took over they still could.use all the food supplies left behind?

Is he awesome because he wants to be a dictator? Not my words, his.

Is he awesome because he completely ignored Corona, saying a miracle would cure it, and then edging people on to take ivermectin, then talking about injecting bleach? Causing millions extra to unnecessarily die, btw.

Why exactly IS he awesome? What part, that I might have missed, is awesome?

And just to be clear: all the above happened, don’t even start with “that never happened” because then you need to stop watching right wing news outlets and just… I dunno, go out and touch grass?

not safe debating

Sorry, just to comment on this one: I really dislike that phrase, its use is part of the reason why we are where we are. You ARE safe, all the time. It’s not like you talking in a lemmy instance puts you at risk of being shot in the head.

You may encounter assholes, and opinions that you don’t like but that doesn’t make you unsafe. Uncomfortable, mayby, for having to read information you oppose?

A black man driving and stopped by US police can claim he feels not safe. We lemmies are perfectly fine. I think many people need to grow a little thicker skin in that regard.

If you do have to go out, use a bicycle instead of a car.

The solution is -besides regulations for that - have governments push for much MUCH more bicycle roads and same for public transportation. With great public transportation and bicycle roads, most people won’t need cars to begin with.

Should you though?

I get it, it’s annoying, but the entire “let’s block people with opinions I don’t like” is probably the single source of pillerization and increased extremism on the internet.

If I’m not allowed to have a discussion or disagreement with you, and get kicked out instead, I’ll just go to places where they will talk with me and where it’s chock full of other idiots like me who are much more extreme and in our safety bubble we can all continue not beat the same dead horse and circle jerk and make eachother more extreme because there are no dissenting voices, there are no voices or reason and calm, there are no cooler heads around.

This entire moderation where we simply started dumping people with who we disagree has made the world a.much, much worse place.

Granted, it sucks to have to deal with crazies and extremists, but at least whilst they’re in the group we can all keep them grounded in reality.
