    Just to make sure I keep the promise to myself to never visit this country:

    “Fuck the US and especially you, Donnie!”

    All those years of sarcasm, shitposts, jokes, photos of your pets, and memes will be the reason you won’t gain entry into Nazi USA. 🤭

            Not unlikely, the turnout for the Club World Cup which is happening in the US right now has been terrible.

            You had PSG, the winner of the champions leage (think football super bowl) take on Athetico (one of the probably top 10 teams on earth), in LA, the second biggest city in the US, and they couldn’t even fill up the stadium 😭.

    Every time I hear the news from the USA I think: it’s not like things were peachy before Trump 2.0 or even 1.0. How much worse can it get?

      As my college RA who suffered from an extreme fear of zombies once told us during one of his multiple zombie preparedness meetings:

      Never try lighting zombies on fire, especially if you’re in the same building as them. You know what’s the only thing worse than a bunch of zombies shambling up the stairs towards you? A bunch of zombies on fire shambling up the stairs towards you.

      You underestimate our ability to analyze every problem and solution, and then light both of them on fire.

      Despite everything, this remains a state created by Enlightenment liberals, extremely decentralized, with a powerful independent judiciary and literally the strongest speech protections in the world.

      Obviously the direction of travel is wrong, but let’s keep some perspective.

      PS: disappointing to see such a display of irrational groupthink in this community, I had hoped for better. Perhaps the instance was a clue.

        My goodness, you really drank the koolaid. You sound like a car salesperson. Or is this some form of satire?

    FIVE YEARS? That’s an eternity in internet time. That’s like asking you to remember your 3rd grade nickname.

      A speaker labeled “Palantir” crackles to life. “Wrong answer. Would you like to try again?”
