Dragonball Z introduced me to anime which became a life long enjoyment.
Clarissa explains it all exposed me (a guy) to more female lead content and I learned a bit more about other perspectives.
Captain Planet introduced me to the idea that we’ll never really stop pollution because super heros aren’t real lol
I’m not totally delusional! I know she’s a hallucination, I mean how else would I be with someone who loves me?
There were plenty of us that saw right through the bullshit even before the war started but unfortunately because the SCOTUS decided the election for us we were stuck with a gang of money hungry pieces of shit… I mean we still are, but we were then too…
I was young and naive so I wanted to join the military in hopes of getting some technical skills, but even as a 17 year old idiot I saw right through bushs bullshit and said fuuuuccckkkkk that. Now I work in a factory… Fuck Bush, fuck Cheney, fuck Rumsfield… War criminals the lot of them.
To get to OPs question, in America I think we have a collective shame about it so it’s pretty much never spoken about at all. The state of Iraq is only ever mentioned within the context of ISIS :(
A stable career path, a loving relationship, and permanent housing.
More concise: Stability.
It’s all I ever wanted and seemingly the only thing I can never have even since childhood. I move every 2 years on average and since adulthood that’s been from basement apartment to basement apartment and now to a garage with no end in sight… I finally got to the point where I could consider buying a house and then COVID, WFH, and the invesestment parasites all blew up at once and took that away from me… I gave up on the relationship bit years ago.
Could be, but in my experience that phrase is never followed by something good. :/
Yeah, it’s short for “miss me with that independent shit, pay up!”
So just going to chime in here with a little advice that really should be obvious, but don’t tell someone who is suicidal to just get over themselves.
A person wants to end their existence and your only reply is to completely dismiss their pain as absurd. As someone who is suicidal pretty much every day, the whole point is not wanting to exist in this pain and not seeing any way out of it. There’s nothing to “get over” as people like us think of ourselves as the lowest form of garbage imaginable. A joke I often make is “Hitler had more redeeming qualities than I do.”
The only thing accomplished wtih your statement is making you feel better about yourself, it doesn’t help the other person at all so the whole “got nothing nice to say, don’t say anything” applies here.
I feel similar but I wouldn’t say I particularly hate my parents.
I was an accident and honestly if anything I’m very frustrated that the only reason I was born was that my grandmother is super religious and refused to even entertain the idea of an abortion, hell she’s even responsible for my name (again from the fucking goddamn Bible. For me that’s ironic since I loath most organized religion.) but my parents in no way should have gotten together. I think my mom was just attractive and my dad is a pig for sex (I recognize some of that in myself so I guess I got that from him… Thanks…)
As others have mentioned it’s not so much that the entirety of all 38 years of my life sucked, but for me I have a distinct memory at 11 years old of having this feeling that something wanted me to kill myself because it just kept “poking” at me, making life miserable in various ways. I gave the sky the finger and said “fuck you I’m not doing that” simply out of spite of whatever it was. (I don’t believe anything like that now). So I have to imagine childhood wasn’t as bad although I did have to live through 2 stepfathers that both wished I didn’t exist probably as much as I do.
Anxiety runs rampant through my father’s side of the family and I’ve definitely been depressed for the entirety of my teenage and adult life. The world wouldn’t be affected by my passing, but I sure as hell would love to hit the “off button” as well. All that said, if women even found me worthy, I would never want to pass these absolute garbage genes on to anyone. That should be a crime thats how shitty they are (except my immune system, that seems pretty ok lol)
Very very well put!
I think if you made a word bubble of all the comments I’ve made the largest bubble by far would be “I fucking hate propagandists!!”
I was very disappointed that this didn’t end with “In nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hеll in a cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer’s table.”
My weekend has been ruined. :(
I firmly believe he’s going to lose the popular vote, the electoral college, and yet still “win” by having the assholes that filled important election official positions refuse to certify the results and have the election kicked to Congress where the Republicans have a majority of states in their control and so one state one vote means Trump wins…
Every single mother fucker better riot like there’s no tomorrow if they do this
It’s propaganda.
Everything you listed is a “Democrat lie” if you were to ask a Magoo. Fox news, Newsmax, and the like spend an enormous amount of effort in creating a reality where Republicans are always the victim, and they point to the population to say “you’re next!”
Anything they can’t say is specifically a lie, they’ll say “well you did it too so it’s not bad.” Anything else just isn’t a concern to them since people like Hannity tell them what to think.
I’m not actually sure I agree. Trump has so much support right now because he has formed a cult of personality. If Trump goes the GOP goes. Trump dominated every primary, no one else stood a chance, which means there isn’t another GOP memeber that the cult would move to so easily. Trump has a “strength” in being an “outsider” to his base, anyone else who was in the primaries would just be another “elitist” politician to the magas.
Unfortunately our politics have gotten so fucked by a disgusting form of propaganda that disregards the typical “immoral” stances (racism, sexism, etc) that I actually believe the only people that could continue to keep the GOP going are the absolutely disgusting people like MTG and Bobert… The loudmouth assholes with no regard or respect for anyone but their “tribe.”
Just want to back this one up: as someone rapidly approaching 40 who never loved himself, if anything absolutely loathes himself, repeating to yourself how absolutely horrible of a failure you are and how completely and utterly undeserving of anyone’s love you are daily will cement itself in your head as absolute fact.
I can no longer actually comprehend that I can do anything well. I’m either a complete failure, or if I did it literally anyone with 2 braincells can. I actually do not believe anyone who says otherwise, it has become an objective truth in my brain backed up by decades of “evidence.”
That’s a phrase I live my life by to be honest lol
Honestly my only issue with them is literally anyone who is not them is “an evil pro-genocide lib” (lib, liberal is like the biggest insult they can throw at you as it’s essentially the definition of their opposition.) Doesn’t exactly feel great to see an entire community see you as the absolute evil and everything that is wrong with the world just because you may not agree that an economy run by committee is the best way, or that an authoritarian “vanguard” is the right way to a better society.
If they’re all about workers solidarity and community then they should try to see us if anything as simply “ignorant” not stupid, not willingly aiding genocide, just lacking information that they could help share. Instead a lot of them are just vicious. There are some like Cowbee that seem like good people who want to help others understand their views.
Banksssss! Rob banks! Then use that money to buy snacks forever!
Not everyone can do that unfortunately as it is illegal. We’re “forced” to have a lunch break, which I support the idea of, I just hate that I have to stay the extra hour when “normal” full time jobs are 9-5 and the lunch is in that 8 hours…
I wouldn’t say it has much to do with pedophilia and just about everything to do with greed. They’re entirely the party of the ownership class, they always have been. They would revive slavery in a heartbeat going much further than the 13th amendment allows if they knew they could get away with it.
It might be an “interesting” endeavor to find out the correlation between those that have immense wealth and/or power and pedophilia. It might be that they are also pedophiles because of how their power and/or wealth have affected them.
