It’s worth realizing some people do not want to be cheered up. My understanding is the misery, for lack of a better word, is more comforting to many as it reminds them of when they were young (or they emulate what they saw around them as children)

Interesting. I thought that was just in movies. lol
Ok, yeah I figured the same thing
That seems kinda fucked up. Why would you do something like that?
I mean, I at least get fucking with people for money. Doing it for fun, not so much
Also, anyone know what they meant with this line?
I still loved my life so I didn’t want to use the Google custom search API.
Is transgender a spectrum?
Is cis a spectrum? or is that one extreme end
Bro bout to get absolutely colonized!
Haha. Nah, I wasn’t being serious. I was making a reference to the “-typical” in the term neurotypical and thought it was funniee to point it out - like a wink wink nudge nudge thing
Oooh you know this one’s gonna be good
Edit: the added comment about him not using ai is hilarious. You can tell people take it super seriously. I bet he was getting a ton of ridiculous hate. Wish he’d kept the original version with Harris and Adams tho
I do this and it makes me wonder. It doesn’t seem normal typical but it makes a lot of sense to me
I mean, sure but Dems only really have a chance because Republicans continue to run the shuttiest candidates imaginable. That is absolutely true
Like, Obama won partly because McCain chose to run with Palin. It’s not the only reason he won, but it’s silly to think it wasn’t a major factor - especially considering everything we know about white American voters, that’s been made just as clear as it ever could be. I bet it was a tough decision for some/many Americans
I’ve always wished I could feel like the choice in a general election was a hard decision, but alas I’m working class and brown (and believe in science)
Very well said.
As someone that feels like I learned about emotions way too late and recently started trying to actually feel them and whatnot (mr supposedly logical over here), it really blows my mind how emotional people are being about such important things while thinking they’re being rational and reasonable, all the while spending zero time to understand why others disagree with them
This recipe sucks!
Alright let’s do this Lemmy pals
Socrates willingly takes hemlock after being cancelled for going viral
Plato covers Socrates in written text (and goes viral)
Aristotle does his own thing… getting fuzzy
Aquinas makes… arguments
…
Do those goalposts have little feet on them?
“Democrats wouldn’t do this”
Democrats do this
“No, not like that”
Look, I said it in a dumb meme format so you know it’s true
(I appreciate you for posting here, just making fun of you 😊)
Maybe just think about it for like a full minute…
What do you think happens when there are millions of people living in squalor under fascist rule within driving/walking distance of another country’s borders?
My memory is fuzzy, didn’t they just make Mr Garrison the coolest he’d ever been before, at least from like the average white American guy’s point of view? Were they ever actually being critical?
I assumed they were trying to play both sides since most trump fans wouldn’t be able to tell it was satire, similar to Colbert’s old show, and they could just say it’s not their fault if their “message” was missed by most people that watched it.
That’s funny, I’m most relaxed and distracted when I’m avoiding some work I was supposed to do months ago
Dude, I didn’t say most of what you’re assuming I said. It’s weird what you’re doing. We’re not convincing each other of anything. The idea is to try and understand each other. I’m not going to engage with the original convo anymore because it’s not fruitful. Now, I’m more interested in the poor/lack of communication going on.
I mean, you wrote a whole lot in response to my saying “you’re not understanding me” with a defensive rant about how you are actually understanding me, I just can’t tell or am lying to you. I’ll say it once more. You’re not understanding me or what I’m trying to convey. I’ll accept my part in failing to communicate but it takes two… to u know not assume an entire thesis about what the other is sayinf
I personally would never criticize people doing what you’re doing (not voting/voting third party). I disagree with it, but do your thing. I tend to criticize the Dems so it’s wild you think I was saying Biden shouldn’t drop out. You’re saying legit silly things and it only makes sense to you and maybe people that already agree with you. I mean, you didn’t even answer the one question I asked, about what happens after the election, and you now you’ve jumped to thinking I’m against everything you stand for or something. That’s wild bro!
This is what frustrates me most. I disagreed with one thing you said, and you went nuclear like I’m basically your number one enemy. It’s like you’d prefer to be all alone and/or have less allies.
I honestly care a bit less about politics since realizing most of us can’t even have a very basic, low-stakes conversation about what each person thinks. I mean, if we don’t truly understand what the other is saying what’s the point?
Ahh I get u now. Yeah, that’s totally true
