I spent hours with my mother explaining a scientific paper that was paraded around YouTube with the usual half-assed reading they do, and that fucker even ended with “don’t trust me, read for yourself!” Which naturally no one does as “well he told me to look so he can’t be lying.”

Yeah well he was at best just dense and didn’t understand, but more than likely capitalizing on sensational bullshit…

No, the Chinese are not trying to create a super deadly COVID variant Mr.Campbell…

Believe it or not, jail!

“Then there’s no journalistic accountability when they do get caught with their hand in the cookie jar.”

Literally Fox News Entertainment when brought to court over Tucker Carlsons bullshit…

“We’re not news we’re Entertainment™©®, no reasonable person would believe what Mr.Carlson is saying is true.” So they don’t need to have any integrity whatsoever…

That’s why they increased the price. They know soon you won’t have a choice

“I just cannot believe that there are decent people left in the country who vote Republican.”

The problem is that the vast majority of them don’t see this in the same way we do, they get their messaging from propaganda outlets that tell them our description of what is happening is completely wrong and revisionist, taking the bite of of the accusation we lay against them as well.

They can be completely well meaning and just want “real history” to be taught, trusting their kids will be intelligent enough to sort out what was really bad or really good. They’ll also try to look elsewhere and say “see white people were slaves too, some countries enslave their own people, it’s not about racism!” They run with whatever messaging they’re given and truly think they are “good people.” They can be good people while still being mislead and spouting garbage…

I’ll never believe ALL Republicans are hot garbage terrible people. I was once a 9/11 truther, I once fell down the rabbit holes of various conspiracies, so I have “faith” that a lot of these people are well meaning and are mislead, that they may at some point finally see what they’ve been told is just a lie. It takes time and a conscious effort to pay attention. I’m an absolute complete and utter moron and if I can climb out of that hole so can others, there isn’t one single, tiny, iota of a thing that makes me special or intelligent if anything there’s more reason to believe I couldn’t escape the rabbit holes.

Then of course there are the hate filled, literal Nazis waving actual Nazi flags… There’s no defense for them lol

I don’t have a link for it, but I read that YouTube is working on a 3 strikes policy for anyone using AdBlock programs… So after the 3rd warning you’re not able to watch anything on YouTube at all…

I always just say “I’d be better if you were checking my prostate” but I always get kicked out right after! I can never quite put my finger in why though…

:P

While true, my theory is that they might also want something else. I use a plate and sometimes she’ll just beg for more anyway even if half of what I gave her is still in the bowl, I’ll give her a tiny bit of something else and she’ll go eat that instead lol

That shit makes me so angry it’s crazy… Socialism for the corporations, “rugged individualism” for the citizens…

Republicans will scream and cry about socialism when we discuss healthcare, but gladly give corporations all the public money/wealth they could possibly want while also allowing them to charge us for the “product” they create…

This is pretty much it for every culture war bullshit flavor of the year. Republicans can’t win on policy because their REAL policies that they actually want are just “more money for ultra wealthy.” That’s it. That’s the whole Republican agenda, more money for the ultra wealthy by cutting taxes and cutting OUR entitlements so the country can afford to not tax the wealthy. More money for the wealthy by cutting regulations that PROTECT US. More money for the wealthy by allowing mergers, monopolies, etc…

They need people to vote for them so they find a topic to have their propaganda outlets focus on and suddenly it seems “organic” when in reality the people are being manipulated to all be mad at the same thing at the same time. it’s sad and hilarious that they also consider themselves “free thinkers.”

I think he would have had to be convicted of that. Even though it’s exactly what he did, he hasn’t been convicted of anything really. The only shit that ever sticks with him are low stakes civil cases he can just throw money at…

Or more infuriating is when I AM searching Google and the results bring me to some asshat saying “Just google it bruh.”

I never wanted to be stuck in a cubicle in an office so I avoided those types of jobs… Now my dumb uneducated-ass self is stuck in a factory because I never figured out what I DID want to do while my friends spent maybe 4 years in a cubicle and are now all home making tons of money.

I feel like a gigantic moron lol

I just want to play games! When Linux can run anything windows can run you better believe I’m dumping Gates at the gate and partying with the penguins!
