I chose to forgo the bodyguards as it draws too much attention. I’d rather stealth my way across the ten miles.

Less fake accounts, less political censorship, less trolls, and less bad faith argument clowns.

When a housing crash is imminent, it’s the self storage businesses that thrive.

What does karma even do?

Anker. Every time I buy one of their products, I’m impressed by the quality. It’s come to the point that I’m seeing knockoff brands inserting the Anker keyword into their product descriptions, hoping a search will put their product up in view.

I don’t have anything specific, but generally speaking those who idolize war have never seen the horrors of war. Speaking with veterans who have actually seen real combat is a good place to start.

Considering the fact that corporations make up about 70% +/- of all the solution and climate destruction, and the fact that politicians are bribed by said corporations to ignore the problem, there’s little we can actually do about it except voting.

but World of Warcraft is a bit intimidating for new players, just in terms of the scope and changing seasons.

Yup, can confirm. I left wow near the end of Burning Crusade and came back to it in the middle of Shadowlands. I was so confused. Plus, nobody talks anymore. Chat used to be lively, but now players seem inconvenienced and annoyed by strangers trying to start up a conversation.

I don’t recognize the game anymore and have no interest in continuing. I tried WoW classic when it came out and had a blast. Got through Northrend leveling and then left again.

Just Lemmy, Facebook, and YouTube if that counts. And my time on Facebook is slowly dwindling.

Wait… there’s a dark mode?

The problem with “conservatives” is that they don’t really stand for anything. So they have to go into politics and culture war nonsense.

You’re not really going to find anything that’s conservative yet isn’t political because modern conservatism is fundamentally hollow by design.

Enlisting in the military.

I was an insufferable piece of shit back in the day, constantly self sabotaging and blaming everyone else for the problems I caused. I was on the verge of homelessness due to my own stubbornness and bad attitude.

The military gave me the swift kick in the ass that I desperately needed. Now I can self reflect and recognize when the problem is me, and I can admit when I’m wrong and course correct.

Military isn’t for everyone, but for me it was exactly what I needed. I learned a ton of life skills and healthy coping mechanisms that my parents never taught me.

So I can drive in the HOV lane, I can’t be mass arrested, and attempted murder against me is considered attempted genocide?

My tax return is going to be enormous due to how many dependants I have. I’ll have enough money to get TF out of this crazy place.

I would if I could, but I have a job that keeps me busy.

Job: Welder

Customer: “Hey I need a welder to fix the railing at my business.”

Me: “OK, I can start work after you close for the day.”

Customer: “Oh no, I’m not staying late. I need you to fix it during business hours.”

Me: “OK then, it’s dangerous work so I’ll need to rope off the area and erect screens to protect the general population from weld flash and grinder sparks.”

Customer: “Oh no, this walkway needs to stay open for customers during business hours.”

Me: “Again, this is dangerous work. Somebody is going to get hurt if they’re permitted to walk through the work area.”

Customer: “I don’t know why you’re being so difficult, just zap zap and you’re done.”

Me: “No, it’s going to take a lot of work. The railing is rusted through so entire sections need to be replaced. It also needs to be level, up to code, cleaned for safety reasons, support the weight of an average adult human, and painted to prevent corrosion. We’re talking multiple days of work and it’s not cheap.”

Customer: “Repairs are not in the budget, but I can spread the word and tell all my friends about you. I have almost two hundred followers on Facebook.”

Me: (silently gets up and walks away)

Customer: “Look at that, another lazy Millennial who doesn’t want to work. Typical. No wonder this nation is going down the crapper.”

Aside from a few MAGA shit lords in political forums, I haven’t really seen the hand of the moderators in action. Most of what I seen, people are rather chill and well behaved.

Have a seat on the couch and tell us how you really feel.

Kamala is as popular as wet toilet paper. Nobody likes her. Every time she speaks in public, her ratings go down.

As an actual leftist, I hope they throw the book at him. Politicians should not be above the law.

Let me get this straight, it’s somehow the progressive rhetoric of universal healthcare and free education that caused a Republican voter to shoot the Republican presidential candidate?

Make that make sense.
