Gets me every time. The Game reigns supreme once again.

American Idiot’s commentary is rooted deep within the band. Minority is probably my favorite Green Day song… ‘She’ is a close second. The lyrics are incredible.

Have you heard the one where your fiesta takes adderall?

It turns into a focus.

Not original material but I had to say it

The Vitality logo in the corner is the special comedic addition we never knew we needed!

It’s necessary. I agree. Admins exist for a reason and serve a purpose. But when you get into a “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” debate it becomes a topic that needs to be addressed. I don’t have enough expertise to give an answer to such an existential question so I’ll have to leave it to anyone else to hash it out from here.

Definitely a baby step in the correct direction.

I want an internet where admins don’t control the world. Where moderators don’t become megalomaniacs that get to control the way submissions and comments get banned without reason.

I want a place where someone’s passion for their unique hobby doesn’t get stripped away by corporate interests, exploitative third parties, and ad agencies.

I know it might be a pipe dream but I’ll keep trying to fight for what I believe.

This is literally one of a handful of times in my life where I will begrudgingly accept that word.

It doesn’t make me proud.

I agree in Midwestern as I put on my shorts and tshirt (I’m not fat, BTW… you just sort of get used to those balmy 50° days)

I’m so happy you replied. This has been a really great follow-up. I’ll definitely share your story whenever I can. There’s always a little bit of light out there.

That’s an incredible lineage to say the least. Keep spreading the history that so often goes unacknowledged. It gets suppressed, rewritten, and glossed over all too often.

Do you have have any family memories from your grandfather from that time?

My town was named after a Native American Chief so it had a heavy influence on some of the lessons including the whole inhumane way we ruthlessly pursued the Manifest Destiny mentality *as a country, not my town in particular.

At my US high school we spent two days in mandatory silence walking around the classroom viewing these types of Holocaust pictures and reading descriptions of the images.

We spent the rest of the lesson arc discussing and unpacking the atrocities and horror of radicalization, hatred, ignorance, and war as a group. It was a surreal experience.

We had a similar experience in US history with slavery and the Civil Rights movement.

911 doesn’t just activate police. It activates Fire and Emergency Medical Srvices aka ambulances if your life is in danger for any reason.

People like me?.. I don’t like to reveal a lot about myself online. That being said, I’ve talked many people out of committing suicide or self harm. I’ve said before in other comments that I’m in the medical field at a high level.

Positive mental health treatment is an extremely important subject to me. I stand by what I’ve said because I’ve been there when people have been in crisis.

Kneeling down and talking to a newly diagnosed schizophrenic 18 year old in an isolation room or a suicidal 16 year old girl is not easy and sometimes even dangerous.

All I’m trying to do here is give people immediately available resources if they’re feeling unwell.

Oh, wow. That’s a different take that I hadn’t considered. I’ll be anyone’s something. Even for a single comment… and that’s way better than nothing.

To anyone who’s feeling down around this time of year, call 911 or 988. Nothing is better than having you around.

Edit:

I really feel strongly about this and I misworded my message. Get help if you need it.

You matter to me. I mean that with all of my heart.

SEO and Ai have been very heavy influincers in the degradation of journalistic integrity and reporting facts *while dumbing things down for clicks.

It led directly to a more radicalized and less informed public.

The vast majority of people think that the first answer on Google is still correct. That simply isn’t true anymore because people started to game the system and Google let them do it to gain a shitloat of ad money.

It’s disgusting that they don’t have the morals to rein things in.
