As a middle aged white dude in IT, I no longer tell people I listen to podcasts because I’m sick of “ oh yeah, I listen to Rogan too” (I’ve never once listened to one of his shows).
He’s listened to by millions of “normal” dudes.
For maga, plastic surgery is virtue signaling. Since they have the money to spend on “looking their best” they do so in the most visible way since money is morality to these fucks.
You are a sane, rational and empathetic person. Well said.
Hasn’t worked so far but I’ll keep it up.
Also agreed. I just happen to believe that real growth takes hard work and self examination, something most people aren’t willing to do. Most have no desire to overcome and instead just become complacent. I find this to be a moral failure as well.
I don’t know if there is an optimal way to reach these people, or any way at all. This same stain of lazy, willfully ignorant, selfishness has been a mainstay of American culture for at least my entire life.
I still have normal folks argue that if Floyd had just complied, it would have never been an issue. This despite the guilty conviction for murder, clearly indicating that the cop was the one in the wrong.
People will always blame the victim, it’s easier for them to accept, because if they defend the victim, that means they could be one. People will always prefer the explanation that allows them to feel superior.
My mom is in the early stages and is DEPERATE to prove that she’s still functional. She’s also going through chemo for cancer which has fried her brain even worse. I can’t be mad at her, but I keep trying to take her technology and simplify what she insists on keeping but she can’t even handle an appletv anymore.
It’s really hard. I feel you bud, keep up the good fight. Best of luck with your dad.
Fucking hell, just wait until they start developing dementia. I have to do all 9 things sometimes in the same sentence.
I tend to view them as victims used as pawns.
It’s true, but at some point they should have woken up and seen what they’ve been fighting for. Far too many just keep reaching for the sleeping pills.
I’ve crossed the rubicon, if you still support all this, you are an evil person, or at least a person who wishes evil on others. You cannot get complacent with evil, everyone needs to learn the paradox of tolerance asap.
Fuck these purity tests. Nobel is indeed a hollow and pointless prize, but let them throw any stone they like, especially when the target is such a fucking baby. We all know what a bullshit prize it is already so might as well just kick back and let them fight.
I’ve got 30tb or so made up of 4 and 10tb used drives. All I’ll buy anymore. In fact, I need to change out of of my parity drives. Hopefully used market is still somewhat affordable.
