“Don’t look up”

If president Trump said so, that’s good enough for me!

Considering Australia was historically Britain’s prison, this checks out

It’s just empty rhetoric to try to garner some kind of support from radicalists. It’s a power grab among right wingers who have nothing left to latch onto except hatred for an unknown, undefinable enemy.

“Extinguish the left” is not really an attainable goal, just like no one can define “woke”, it’s whatever you want it to be. Just like fighting “terror” all over the world was stupid, fighting a “war” on drugs, it isn’t possible to “win” because it has no definable goal posts.

Yet it’s dangerous talk because it means people will freak out and start attacking everyone they don’t like. Crazy people will go on a shooting spree, thoughts and prayers all around but nothing will change and we’re right back to where we started.

Those that eat this up are disenfranchised, angry at something completely different that’s happened to them in life and they’re taking that frustration out on people that don’t even affect them because the manifestation of their frustration onto a person is easier for them to understand

Because no lifers have taken it over already. Trolls, influencers and everything in between was always going to be the first to adopt it because they have the time to do it. Just cut all that crap out of your life, you don’t need it

🤷 guess we’ll die?

Dangerous… To their profits. Not so dangerous to the rest of us

It’s been that way. I ask myself this kind of question often, what do other major country blocks have to propel themselves into the future? There’s been nothing new and big enough to gain global traction in decades where as America constantly looks for ways to expand its portfolio and often takes neighboring countries with it.

Look to major shakeups in labor and manufacturing next, China is not a good bet anymore so lots of it will move, plenty to Mexico or South America but unfortunately not much to the US still. Maybe chips because they will have massive subsidies for the security value of them but otherwise it’s still too expensive.

What can Europe do? Maybe they will just have to accept the gradual slowdown as they wrestle with a lack of innovation

Stop. Feeding. The. Troll!

It’s not for me. It hasn’t been for a long time. I can’t say it’s all bad, plenty of movies are objectively good I just have no interest in them.

Yeah everything is safe and formulaic because it makes the most money. Video games have moved in a similar direction, it’s just a different time now. I completely ignore most media these days and I look for the diamonds here and there

Stop using that trash, it’s just a black hole of noise anyway

What’s to say they still won’t do this, considering now Wagner are all branded traitors? Prigozhin should have known better, it was always going to be a one way street he wins or he dies

Don’t see it mentioned yet, it’s an older game but Remember Me is pretty good

So the pandemic time was weird for me too but in a different way. I was fine, the entire time I was fine I never got sick, got paid plenty from the government stimulus while I was furloughed and once back to work I got a big raise, more responsibility etc. However I think it made me depressed and I didn’t know it.

I’m a high functioning person, see me on the street any time and I’ll tell you I’m fine, because I am fine compared to those less fortunate but mentally I might not be and I couldn’t tell you why. Looking back now I can see it, I gained a ton on weight, drank a LOT more than normal and wasn’t interested in what I normally was. Sometimes I’d just sit and listen to music and cry. Every day I’d watch the news, people died, bodies piled up, people yelled and screamed COVID wasn’t real, more bodies. I couldn’t do anything outside and I’m generally fine with that (introvert) but… nothing outside ever, no events, not seeing friends or family, worrying every time I’d go to grocery store I might get sick, that did have an impact.

How can we make sense of pandemic times? Reflect I think. What did you like, what worked, what didn’t, more importantly, why? Then you can reverse engineer it and go after what you find works best for you. It’s a big crowded world we live in and we all have to find our place in it.

I think… I’ve learned I need to care for myself more and worry about other people less. I need to listen to my body and my mental state and I need to put more effort in where it matters most. Maybe that means completely changing my life, moving, switching careers, who knows? I do know my happiness can’t just be reactive, it takes work, a proactive approach

Wow, police better equipped than the military. Should send them to war instead maybe they’d get somewhere

That’s really nothing. I think reddit will gladly trade 10% for more power over the platform. Those people will probably all go back in a few weeks anyway

I had that thought too, some false flag to get Ukraine to launch it’s main counteroffensive early

Right here my friend! Plenty of megathreads and updates on kbin

I’d give it 50/50 they actually put up resistance or roll over. You can counter terrorist all you want until the terrorists are seasoned mercenaries with tanks knocking at the door

Mercenaries are about to own the whole army
