YOU don’t watch it. But I’ve watched in real time while videos like this appear on relative’s feeds while they doomscroll as they uncritically absorb everything that appears. Sometimes watching the same video two or five times because the damn app loops. And when I point out “you know that’s bullshit right?” The response is always some variation of: “I wasn’t paying attention to what it said I was just watching.” But they are absorbing it because days or weeks later they will parrot that same BS at me in a conversation.

If a DOCTOR (key word) diagnosis you with cancer, then YES. Otherwise, no your time would be better spent doing something else. May I suggest a hobby? Perhaps building strawmen?

Whose money? Insurance is paid by a pool of people. That makes it a community resource and when a community members gets sick that resource should be allocated to taking care of them. People don’t pay insurance thinking “Gee I sure hope when I need coverage they deny me and direct my funds to the fatheads at the top of my insurance company.”

And the article being true/false/slop is irrelevant. Most Americans have experience with this fucked up system of ours that’s why it resonates.

Amazing how a supposedly finite resource can be printed on a whim at the convenience of specific class of people.

OH SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH YOUR “FINITE” RESOURCES BULLSHIT. The DOCTOR recommended the treatment. The only barrier to having more time with their loved one wasn’t knowledge, or skill, or reSoUCEes… It was money, a FAKE thing WE invented. You know what IS a finite resource FUCKING TIME. Our priorities as a society are so absolutely bonkers. We could have given that family more of an actual unrenewable gift that can never be replaced, restored, or generated and instead we STOLE that from them to give more of an invented thing of fictious value to the elites. Elites that have so much of it already they could never conceivable spend it.

There is litterally poop on everything. Just type “fecal matter everything” into your favorite search engine and prepare to be horrified to exist.

You’all the number of times this administration has me fucking defending shitheads organizations because our idiots in charge are wrong, dumb, and morally off in BFE is too damn high.

Agreed. Doing well on any test just proves that you’re good at taking a test. Intelligence is measured by far many variables then test taking. Nevermind that test scores can be raised by coaching and practice. If the IQ test were a true indicator of intellect the score would be fixed each and every time it is taken regardless of outside influences.

If current politics have taught me anything, it’s that we can just go to the universe next door and take their stuff.

Difference between printed and calligraphy? Otherwise I got nothing. They’re the same.

How many of us STILL have scars from falling off our bikes last century? I bet some of us even still have road gravel in our bodies.

Just get a squatty potty. You’ll be fine.

That depends on the definition of “better.” Don’t mistake me, I LOVE modern games but there was something magical about needing months to beat one game. And while old games didn’t have online components they were definitely a community effort. Siblings, neighbors, friends from school, all coming over and collaborated with to beat each game. Together we discovered every secret place and learned every trick. If someone figured something out it became local game lore and everyone would try to replicate it. We used to all pile in a room to play Mario bros and work together to knock out every level in an afternoon (if you you know), then run it again with the worp whistle trick because we could. There were games we never beat. Simon’s Quest haunted us (I looked it up as an adult and beat it on nesticle - screw you garlic merchant). But that was part of it too, we didn’t have the safety net of a search engine to bail us out when we got stuck. Frustrating? Yes. But it forced us to slow down and think about the challenges in front of us. It wasn’t better or worse, just different then now. (Also please try to keep in mind part of the reason your controls might feel clunky is the game was designed for a different controller then you are using).

That being said I will never miss that hinky as fuck Nintendo cartridge nonsense that required a ritual involving alcohol, prayer, and the breath of life to get it read a game cartridge. Fuck the NES - again if you know, you know.

I think you’ve perfectly described both AITAH and reddit with that sentence.

I agree. It was weird.

I was always partial to:

My favorite will always be being banned from AITAH for being too mean?/honest?/using a curse word? I’m not sure they just said my language was inappropriate. I may have used the word asshole.

Our own neighborhoods don’t belong to us.

What no one ever considers is what is happening right now in real time. They are actively pushing out the troops that would object morally to bad orders. The administration doesn’t care if they are left with inferior troops, as long as the ones they have left will follow orders blindly and without question.

Vampire propaganda.

Same. What the fuck, brain?
