I get what Killa K is saying, and overall, I think he’s right that humans writ large enjoy being with other humans face to face. That being said as a pretty solid introvert (ignoring everything in the world that actually matters for the sake of argument) 2020 was likely the most enjoyable year of my life.

And on top of that if you actually go look at the statistics crime is down significantly over the 80s and 90s, showing continuous drops under Democratic presidencies, and slight rises under Republican presidencies, with the major outlier being 2020, a year in the heart of the pandemic in which crime increase makes…

Well, the defining characteristic for Republicans/Conservatives is hypocrisy, so it checks out and shouldn’t be all that unexpected at this point. Hypocritical Cons gonna Con.

Stop, I can only get so erect.

I own a Tesla vehicle and can’t stand Musk. At this point I’m all for his over-leveraging taking Tesla under, and having it end up bought out by a GM/Ford/VW etc.

His followers wish to inflict even more damage, and they might get their way what with actual democracy on the verge of (if not already) failing in this country.

Because there’s a significant portion of the population that can’t orgasm unless people notice them or they can annoy the fuck out of the general population.

This game is not going to drive significant uptake in new PS5 sales as it sits right now, so limiting it to exclusivity is only going to hurt their overall sales numbers.

The audience is large because there’s no nuance anymore, there’s not gray, there’s just this team versus that team as a basis for self-identity. It’s incredibly repulsive. COVID was a decent start, but we really need a significantly more effective plague.

Fair enough, but even if DeSantis got the nod and they refused to abandon Trump, they would STILL vote R once they got to the polls.

Truth. Even if it’s just a fart in the whirlwind, at least it’s a fart in their general direction!

All efforts to save democracy matter because human lives are at risk, and we should be doing everything we can to better the lives of as many people as possible. But at the same time, I’m so fucking exhausted trying, and there’s really no conclusion I can come to personally that makes me think that Democracy in…

And not one Republican will have one millisecond of thought or concern about it. This country is beyond fucked.

The problem is that for the GQP voter the final candidate doesn’t matter. They might fight in the primaries, but the entire party will fanatically get behind and go vote for whoever the final candidate is. Any bickering leading up to the primary election will be immediately forgotten and they will all 100% fall in…

Sure, but the people who will vote for that are conditioned and brainwashed to believe that drivel and are most likely too stupid to be able to think their way out of that conditioning despite decades of that same local and state Republican leadership being the direct cause of their current issues.

There’s also the other option of just... not engaging in social media at all.

Because normal, rational, compassionate people don’t get involved in politics, and on the odd chance they do they get chased out by death threats and hatred.

The thing that has stood out to me throughout this is the level of disdain he seems to hold towards Twitter employees.

I’m going to keep my fingers crossed anyway just in case they’re wrong and we are all going to die soon.

Regardless of their politics, anyone espousing beliefs in a mythical authority figure should not be paid attention to.
