My shoulders have been permanent cement since all of the election shit kicked off here in the US. I’d like it to end also, but that doesn’t mean we won’t continue to hear about the inevitable riots, Elon mouth drivel, etc. It’s a never ending mental hellscape here in the US.

I’m convinced that most of what they say is to simply piss people off. Once someone is in a negative space long enough, they start to crave that attention and anger as their new norm.

Your dad went through a hell of a gambit to be here.

Man, the US really is getting its mileage out of the Red Scare.

Florida is filled to the brim with Hispanic folks that love Trump. It makes no goddamn sense to me.

It wouldn’t surprise me if both of those things are true.

I’m a hard lefty and even I will tell people not to give any votes to Stein. She rubs shoulders with Putin and a bunch of his cabinet members. There was also the time she called for a recount, took a bunch of donations to get the recount going, and then when it inevitably failed, she vanished with the money.

I didn’t know that. Thanks!

People who hate faces I guess? Lol

Awww “fascists” is spelled wrong 😞

Just bought Veilguard, so I’ll be playing that. I also got a handful of new parts to do a refresh on my inline skates so I can do my usual Saturday morning skate session.

I still have my Xbox 360 physical copy, so no, I will not be paying $50 for a 14-year-old game.

Woof. What a disaster. That dude always struck me as a grifter.

What’s happening with Mr. Beast? I’m out of the loop.

I’ve had to stop harping on the “2 sides of the same coin” thing because it’s tiresome for everyone. Fortunately, the liberal folks I know don’t particularly like Harris either, but they also don’t know what the alternative is in such a rigged system.

It took me years to finally get people to realize that it’s all ratchet effect bullshit and both parties are complicit.

Yeah, this was a long time ago too when things were different. I know many people had the same issue though to no avail, and with a ton more hours under their belt.

I remember having a Far Cry 3 save bug that went unfixed for years (idk if it ever even got fixed). I would keep 2-3 different saves handy just to not lose all of my progress.

The reality is that if people want to stop simply dreaming about revolution, shit is gonna get way ugly before it gets better. Us USA folks are stuck in a country that has both the biggest military and by extension, police forces, in the entire world. Our government looks at world atrocities and is like “yeah, we patented that.”

It’s pretty simple. Just like when the simple solution to defeating the Nazis was to fucking kill them or force them to surrender and rot in a prison. The approach still stands. You don’t let fire spread; you put it out. You don’t let disease spread; you kill or contain it. You don’t let mold grow in your house; you eradicate it.

You don’t let nazis march in your streets in 2024; you beat the fuck out of them and send them to hell.

It’s seriously criminal how underpaid those folks are.

I basically have permanent anxiety because of this. My entire life, tasks have been driven by fear and anxiety. My emergency response is fucking amazing because of this. I broke my wrist last year and was in a zen mind state. Handled it like it was nothing and didn’t panic. It makes me wonder if software engineering was the wrong field for me and I should’ve instead been an ambulance driver.
