I’m not convinced that people, yes even the bad ones, wake up, get out of bed, and think to themselves “let’s do evil today”. Rather, I think people tell themselves lies about how their actions are morally justified for some greater good, or at least remain willfully ignorant (i.e. psychopaths), or just complicit in a rotten system (passive bystanders).
I can’t relate with this feeling of wanting to “troll people on Reddit” at all. Are you conjoined at the hip with them? Is your identity defined by your relationship with them?
Cut them out. Try some scissors.
There is no justice in the US right now. Why bother holding this person accountable when we can’t even hold the highest position in the land accountable for their crimes. The social fabric is unraveling.
The 2017 one was based. All the other ones are a big fat meh, especially the 2024 one.
First we learned that idiocracy was a documentary. Now we are learning that Minority Report was a documentary too.
Damn, what a time to be alive.
Something tells me the last thing diehard MAGAs want is another California.
Working in a team, means you have to be able to work with other people. It’s just a functional requirement of any such job. I get the impression that you are in denial about this reality.
Should you “come clean” with future employers? Yes. Be honest about what you can or can’t do and set boundaries. That also means being honest with yourself about what the job requirements really are. You will continue to be miserable if you don’t do these things.
You are not wrong, but joining NATO is the only way to ensure Russia won’t just declare war again. And we have to be realistic here: Ukraine has surpassed all expectations here already. We can’t expect this miracle to go on indefinitely.
I generally upvote when I see a comment that makes a good point I think is underrated. You could argue that this is a kind of agreement. But, in my view, agreement alone is not the only criteria. Stating obvious truths isn’t really worth anyone’s time, even if they are agreeable. I will also upvote posts that changed my mind or are close to doing so, or impress me (insightful, or funny).
I down vote spam and posts that misrepresent a position or argument (straw man).
I will not vote at all for most posts.
Millenial and gen x skewed Harris more than any other demographic.
Nobody wants their transactions public.
This is a broad generalization that is easily refutable. Examples:
Frankly, you say you can talk for hours on the subject, but I don’t think that hours of thought has been given to the subject.
The American people were sold a big fat lie that a vote for Trump was somehow going to be good for the working class, and reign in capital interest.
Consumption tax for everyone! Unless you all want to go to work in a shoe factory.
That institution is rotten to the core. No amount of this is going to fix it.
There is still waste involved into putting edible food in the compost. Growing, packaging, and transporting food all consume resources that go to waste if the food is not eaten.
Are unpopped popcorn kernels a significant source of uneaten food? Debatable.
Less surveillance and death machines back then. Resistance will be harder.
Philosophically, restrictions on trans in sports is the one issue I will concede to conservatives.
That being said, we’ve got sooooo many other bigger problems to deal with. A government passing laws on transgenders in sports signifies a government that is more concerned with appearances and scoring cheap points than actually helping people.
can’t tell if pun intended
What’s really tiresome, and frankly depressing, is the amount of people who get conned by this shit. And they are so entrenched, it’s impossible to either reason or even empathize with them. It’s a brain disease. A cancer on our society, and we are all going to pay the price because of it.
You both aren’t wrong… But this isn’t about you.
