How are there enough Americans supporting these facists that they feel comfortable saying shit like this?

I don’t think I want to live here anymore.

I have a short story that perfectly exemplifies the problems with Google and the Internet in general.

I dropped a melatonin gummy on the floor near my dog, and then I couldn’t find it (he didn’t eat it, it rolled under the couch). So I did what anyone would do, and googled “my dog ate melatonin”.

The first result was an article that said “melatonin is perfectly safe for dogs to eat, no worries!”. Whew! Coast is clear! I wiped the nervous sweat from my brow and felt my panic melt away…

But just as I was about to close Google, I see that the second result states clearly “melatonin is toxic for dogs, your dog is gonna die and it’s your fault. Call the vet now!”. (I exaggerate, but it definitely said toxic and to call emergency vet services). Panic resumes, sweat returns.

Dude… What the fuck am I supposed to do in that situation? Both of the articles seemed like they were legit and yet had wildly different messages.

Thankfully I found the gummy a few minutes later and didn’t end up at the emergency vet, but it was a confusing and concerning situation.

This doesn’t even bring up the garbage AI generated content that is now 9 out of 10 top results from Google. If you don’t want that shit, and want something written by a human being, you basically have to put “Reddit” in your query… And I think I know how most of us here feel about Reddit…

I think this already exists with Amtrak. I think it’s called the southern crescent.

Don’t ask that question, it’s anti-Semitic.

We keep holding these debates, but it seems all of our uneducated brainwashed constituents keep wanting to vote for some asshole who thinks he’s too important to show up to them. So we quit. Thoughts and prayers.

Makes me love her even more

I don’t disagree that gun violence is a huge problem in the US, and we can all agree that we need to have serious discussion about realistic solutions.

But there are SO many more people in the US than in Denmark. It’s not even close. It has roughly the population as Colarado for the entire country.

That’s not to say there aren’t many, many more mass shooting instances in Colarado (I’m using the term mass shooting to mean a person shooting strangers on purpose in a planned attack in a place unlikely to have armed victims like a school, movie theater or gay night club) than Denmark, so I feel it’s a bit disingenuous to compare the whole US to Denmark.

Denmark also has a lot less poverty and better access to healthcare and mental health services as compared to the US.

So I know it feels good to try and make your point this way, but it’s not really the same at all. There’s more to this than guns and “Americans dumb”.

But what if I don’t want to wear a hoodie and sunglasses when I’m inside on my computer?

JFC I used to be a libertarian and I still agree with some of their values, but over the last 20 years they’ve really just become a joke. Not as much as the GOP, who intentionally associate with Cruz and MTG, but this is getting there.

It’s like someone said “it can’t be worse than Ted Cruz and Margie…” And the libertarian is all “hold my beer.”

Dude needs to promise to legalize weed at the federal level to make up for his past bullshit. That would probably get folks out to vote. Imma vote for the old geezer anyway because I don’t want to live though Trump being president again. If Trump gets office again, he’ll likely never leave.

This is simply wrong. Many of the worst mass shootings in the last decade were committed with low power rifles and handguns. I’m actually pretty sure the two worst mass shootings (by count of those who were killed) in the US were done using .22 ammunition. Those weapons were not covered by whatever ban you’re talking about

It’s not about “assault weapons” and it’s not even about guns. It’s about the inability of our government to pass meaningful legislation around gun ownership and mental health and especially where those two topics intersect

The problem is that human suffering is normalized because the wealthy political class and those who fund them are not going to let things change for the better if it means less money for them.

A bunch of ai garbage and also some ads please! Maybe collect info about me and sell it to marketing corporations while you’re there.

But what about no parties? I’m for no parties and maybe a little bit of nuance (gasp!) in American political discussion.

Looks like I replied to the wrong comment here. Apologies.

I’m honestly not trying to be antagonistic, I think I agree with you for the most part here.

But how can you have an interpretation of math? Isn’t math objective? Isn’t math the key to all rationalization?I don’t understand how there could be “neofeudalist” or capitalist or communist interpretations of math.

Is there a tracker that gets most switch games? I used to use nsw2u, but lately most games area direct DL and not torrent. IPThads some of the games, but many of the ones I’m looking for are missing.

You absolutely could try. It would be fine until the already established hierarchies feel you’re becoming a threat to their monopoly of power. Then they will come up with some reason to go out and shoot you or lock you up.

But I do think most of the people who say shit like they want to live in a wilderness commune would last two weeks before giving up and going back to running water, paved roads and grocery stores.

Hold my beer.

I love my x1 from lenovo. No bloat at all and excellent customer service. I broke a USB port and they sent a guy to my house to fix it.
