I’d like to take this opportunity to point out that I am NOT celebrating CK’s death and to make sure you all understand this story is really about me and how I claimed the moral high ground before anyone else even thought of doing it.
I’m really surprised I haven’t been called for an interview. Surely the Nobel folks will be ringing my phone very, very soon.
He’s the kind of evil dipshit who would have legislated to pay people as close to zero-per-hour as possible, hired people at that hourly slavery rate, and then bitch that they weren’t dedicated workers.
Yup. They were already committing violence on the people. They’re just ramping up the rhetoric as usual.
I can’t predict the future, and there will be some short-term fallout (potentially very bad fallout) from this. These young men will hold a grudge for sure, but I think it’s much harder to say how long of a lasting imprint this will make on them.
Many of them will grow up and realize “maybe I need to work on my mental health and general qualifications as a human being and stop thinking we can bully women into being barefoot pregnant tradwives”. The differences between what young men and what young women want out of life right now is truly astonishing. Check the polling data.
Part of this phenomenon stems from the unfortunate biological fact that young men don’t truly mature until about the age of 35. At that point, many of them (not all of them) have grown up and obtained some maturity and perspective. They finally realize that the world doesn’t revolve around me and my shortcomings and grievances. If they want to become better men, they work at providing some actual value and to at least occasionally serve others unselfishly in a non-transactional manner. Thinking you’re entitled to sex and children just because “that’s what real men get” is a road to rejection and solitude. Some will figure this out. Some never do.
As for CK’s legacy… lies and bullshit travel orders of magnitude faster than the truth, but the truth tends to win the marathons.
No, it’s more like telling an addict to stop using.
At some point it’s not about proving anything anymore it’s just self-defense. Violence should always be the last resort. But in case you haven’t been paying attention Trump and his gestapo are committing acts of violence on the American people every single day.
It’s very human to make dark jokes during dark times. I honestly think the self-righteous overly serious virtue signaling does far more harm than the tasteless jokes.
Yes, you’re right that the reaction to this could be very bad. We’ll see. I think it could go either way. The American public has a very short attention span and this sort of thing tends to burn brightly for a while then blow out as soon as the next big story breaks.
As for the rest of what you said…so…we should be more concerned about teachers and students hurting some kids’ feelings than the Republicans taking away actual things like jobs, healthcare, housing, vaccines, trade agreements, and alliances that took generations to build and less than a year to destroy.
These emotionally damaged young men need to snap the fuck out of it and realize who is really hurting them and who really killed the American dream. It’s not some dumbass underpaid woke college professor. Pieces of shit like Charlie Kirk come along and brainwash these same gullible kids into thinking the Republicans want to “help them” bootstrap their way out of the same crab bucket wage slavery that the Republicans created.
cool, Spez has a Lemmy account
How many optional organs does this poor guy have?
I find going on and off DST to be kind of a nuisance, but I don’t have strong feelings about it one way or the other. It seems like the experience varies from place to place, and your region’s distance to the equator is an important factor. The closer you are to the equator, the less necessary DST is.
Historically, some of the regions that went off of DST much prefer it that way, and never looked back. But others regretted opting out of it, and went back to doing it again after everyone complained about it.
I’m sure 47 will make it all about him, whatever he does. And it will probably be a chaotic mess of software patches when they try to implement it. There will be far worse problems to deal with during the Stupid Ages, but throw this one on the pile I guess.
I’ve only seen one of them up close in person and it was pretty cool, I do admit. But I still don’t want one for myself. Something about the whole thing just feels weird and off. I’d be constantly feeling like it was going to split apart from plastic fatigue if I had one.
why are leopards eating my face I’m so confused
And here I thought my late 2024 anxiety level was maxed out already.

It’s a good question, I’m very curious to know if he did this for political reasons, personal reasons, or both.
FYI, his family is wealthy. They own a country club in Maryland. Not that I’m opposed to crowd-funding his defense. I think it would send another message that the greedy health insurance companies need to hear loud and clear.
Always annoys the hell out of me when politicians say BS like, “We know you like your private insurance plan and want to keep it”.
So out of touch.

They are intentionally making websites frustrating so we’ll use their stupid proprietary apps instead.
