Being a misinformed voter is a choice.
They are not poor victims.
They are lazy asshats that wanted to believe obvious but comfortable lies, over having to do 10 minutes of work and dealing with uncomfortable truths.
I’m sick and tired of this handwringing for the poor, willfully ignorant voters who couldnt be bothered to question a single thing, or listen to anything that challenges their preconceived notions.
Its how wages have stayed so stagnant for 20 years.
cause people cant fight or leave, cause their healthcare depends on it… especially if they have a very ill spouse/child
and they’ve taken so long to implement the 15 dollar minimum wage, that by the time its fully rolled out it will just be the new 7.25 with all the buying power it’ll have with inflation and everything else, so nothing will fundamentally change for anyone.
People are acting like this is the first time republicans have willfully ignored the results of an election.
until disaster hits your area.
And someone will shit on it because one rich person lives within 5 miles of you, and calling you a stupid fuck for living there.
and oh god will the tears of indignation flow from you then.
Just like there is no war in Ba Sing Se.
what is that, some successor to geocities? or is the naming convention purely coincidental
Wild and magical, where we…upon getting our first connection to this wide world of wonder, would just explore. Clicking every link with wild abandon and discovering magic behind every one of them. No need for caution, Viruses were rare, Malware didnt exist, just spread wings gliding over vast lands of unbridled discovery… Not even realizing 16 hours had passed and you had missed sleep, the adrenaline of adventure keeping you going, wide eyed and focused.
God I’m depressed now.
the pesky linearity of time as we understand it.
when the internet was a wild and unexplored frontier, and we were adventurers charting the unknown.
god what I wouldnt give to go back to the days of the mid 90s, when the internet was nothing more than a collection of tech weirdos, with websites being nothing more than passion projects with no advertising, no SEO, no search engines, etc etc.
These kinds of interest rates are why payday loans got the regulatory hammer to crash down and smash them to bits.
I think all the console makers sell consoles at profit anymore.
Hence why the prices are stupid high. especially when you consider they are nothing but slightly modified AMD APU computers.
I’m sure this totally wont backfire and screw over legitimate owners due to some totally unforeseen glitch or idiocy on nintendos part.
Sure pal.
Sure buddy.
oh wow the .ml user is getting super offended over criticism of china/russia.
how original
back in our day, our stupid wasnt malicious mass destruction or food tampering.
It was actual stupid shit, like trying to jump over your friend as he raced towards you on his bike, or falling off a roof, Shit that only hurt yourself, if anyone. Wasnt breaking and entering and destroying shit so people in the next town over would think you were cool. We were stupid, but we werent that stupid.
My question was “was there ever a good trend from tiktok”
Icebucket challenge was from before tiktok existed.
So kinda proving my point.
yeah, the cinnamon challenge was dumb… but it didnt involve mass destruction, psychotic behavor, or contaminating food\ in stores.
So its hardly comparable.
Also it wasnt Tiktok. Predates it, significantly.
This is the exact kind of apologia and handwringing that I’m talking about.
Treating them like they’re some poor tribals on an isolated island whose only technology is fire and spear making who know not what they do.
They are not.
They are capable of asking questions. They actively choose not to, because they’d rather live in the comfort of the lie, then face the harsh reality of a truth.
Most of them have access to the sum total of human knowledge in their pockets (and in those slim minority of a minority of times when they cant, there are still other ways to access it all), which they refuse to use, because that would mean having to step out of their comfortable little sphere and face uncomfortable truths about the horrific things that they support and cant ever, in a thousand years, handle facing the harsh reality of.
Choosing to be ignorant is not an excuse, or makes them victims, or whatever other stupid bullshit people like you try to label them as.
