Someone who’s around 40

As a “child of the internet,” my history brought to light by opposition research would unite the country.

It would unite them in their hatred of me lol

Literally NOTHING.

The us has the largest military by far even when combining the contenders militaries. Add to that most world “leaders” are feckless cowards just looking for their next payout. There will be no stopping the US. :(

True, but have you considered oil?

I’m so fucking disgusted I’m in a rage right now. This piece of shit can’t die soon enough…

Thanks for the explanation!

If only we could have a nice unexpected downturn that wouldn’t affect “us” right about now lol

But how do they pay off the loan? They eventually need some sort of cash of their own right? Do they literally borrow to pay off a loan and do that infinitely?

“Capitalism breeds innovation!!”

The innovation:

4. Capitalism creates prisons, nonprofit industrial complex, big pharm etc to profit from the desperation (and captures governments to ensure focus is placed on increasing the profitability of these ventures)

This is one of the reasons I dislike the blanket statement, sent to no one in particular, “the world is better with you in it.”

…no… The world is in no way shape or form better for Trump or Putin being in it. It is drastically worse.

Santa, all I want for Christmas is to be able to read 2 very specific obituaries.

It definitely reads like “we did the same things, but I’m here in prison and that guy is president. Boo hoo pity me.”

Exactly. This life rewards evil tremendously… I’m so sick of it

I’m going to leave it for the sake of humor, but in my rant about autocorrect it didn’t change tyring to trying…

It knows what I was saying about it. Lol

This is how I feel about autocorrect changing words completely…

I’m sorry are you seriously tyring to tell me what I meant to say!? I said what I meant to say you arrogant fuck!

I’m not in retail anymore. I escaped the Christmas music years ago. Then a coworker moved into my department… He CHOOSES to listen to Christmas music with his bluetooth speakers non-stop…

I hope Santa brings him e-coli.

It was Bill Gates. It’s why he’s not the richest person anymore. He bought all the games to train windows AI to play games for you so now there’s a global games shortage.

Now you might be thinking, but Asafum Bill Gates only needs one copy of each game. He doesn’t need all of them! And to that I say: listen I’m not Bill Gates, I don’t make the rules. It’s just something he does. He’s the sole reason the video game market is so huge. Stupid Bill Gates…

This sounds absurd. Wtf is $750 going to get you that you no longer need to work much?

Well ackshuallllyyyy they’re not burning it if they’re just wanking 🤓

…/s

That seems pretty accurate. I’m an American who would claim that they care more than the typical person and even I’m so fucking sick of it all. I’m completely resigned to the fact that AI is going to make all of our issues 100000x worse along with the media consolidation into the hands of right wing billionaires… Our so called justice system failed every check imagineable and is now in the hands of Trump cultists and our judiciary has been stacked with a rubber stamp majority for the next 30+ years. I have absolutely no faith for the future…

It doesn’t really bother me at all to be honest. I appreciate being able to read discussions wherever they’re from it’s pretty much why I’m on feddit.nl, they don’t seem to defederate from a lot of stuff. I appreciate letting the user decide what to block.

This is why I don’t really understand the argument some people here make about Russia just trying to eliminate Nazis in Ukraine. What country would not only go to war and lose one million of their own people, but keep fighting that war, when they weren’t under direct threat and weren’t attacked?

I don’t think one single large nation has ever gone to war for purely humanitarian reasons. Even the Nazis in WWII provoked an attack. Everyone was all cool with appeasing Hitler until they went and attacked people.

Trump administration: “YESSSS!!! We can force them to defend themselves and when they do we can cry about being attacked and say we have no choice but to go to war now!!”
