Well said. We don’t have control over a lot of things but we do have some control over how we respond to our emotions. Finding peace amidst the chaos is not easy. Creating peace from chaos is even harder.

Helping others find peace might not be pacifism. I don’t know what you’d call it. I dont really care what you call it. But I do know that often the catalysts of change are not the most downtrodden, but rather those who have been empowered to effect change. Thus, change begins by overcoming yourself.

Anger is a poor long-term motivator. What we are looking for is, indeed, resolve.

bro i dont even use linux and you’re annoying me. little brother vibes

STOP

I’m glad this happens in a world where newspapers endorse candidates, but I also don’t get why newspapers are allowed to endorse candidates in the first place. I guess that is the least of our concerns when you look at media bias, but still…

They’re ignorant to literally every piece of media, news outlets, cable TV, print, tiktok, fucking Joe fucking Rogan shit, and they genuinely don’t understand why voting for trump is bad.

I think you underestimate both 1) how many news orgs/media spaces/social communities only report on Trump’s successes and democrat scandals and 2) how much of an echo chamber these people live in. Add on a few natural cognitive biases, such as team thinking and discarding evidence contrary to one’s worldview, and you have pretty much the majority of Trump voters at this time.

They are completely immersed in a world where democrats generally are evil and Trump is one of the good guys. Nothing has ever challenged them out of it, because at this point the challenges are just part of the narrative of good vs evil. Whether this changes your conclusions or not, I dunno (dunno whether I think it even should change your conclusion!), but I figure it’s worthwhile giving an accurate depiction of people. Not all malicious and/or super-ignorant, but rather simply cloistered.

I love how they claim to be the champions of the non-anglos, and yet they have no fucking clue what my family in “occupied Korea” wants or needs. I wonder if if they would have the gall to dismiss them for being “too American” or whatever even though they dont even speak English

nice opinion bro did you make it yourself

I think this answer is on the right track but not the complete story. why don’t men in the culture also use their own fashion to demonstrate their opulence? we have to look at not only why women but also why not men

might be worth it to consider that addiction is only a colloquial word for substance use disorders, which have strict diagnostic criteria

it’s insane they ever took hold. in the 20 fucking 20s. people look at my refillable mod like I’m holding a walkman

is this really about learning the English language, or is this about learning insular colloquialisms and slang? you never stop learning slang, even natives…

because their friends are there

or in reddit’s case, because they think their friends are there

Oh shit Zero just linked a dictionary, I am ruined! But sorry, no. One is not “ignorant” in a vacuum. One must always be ignorant TO something. There’s always so much we don’t know. Apparently you haven’t figured that out yet. Or maybe you have, Zero the All-Knowing. Why else would you be throwing so much shade to people who don’t know random bullshit about your own proximity? Anyway, bye forever, Star of the Universe.

Thanks for the clarification! Never heard of the place or the festival. Or the trump rally, for that matter. Also fuck OP for being an obnoxious prick to you in response to this useful clarification

It’s odd that you act like not knowing some California music festival is “ignorance”. What is the word for assuming everyone on earth gives a shit about what Americans are doing? I mean they only had their first asian headliner last year… I’m guessing the majority of humans have never heard of this shit.

Memes are nothing like logographs (“kanji”) linguistically speaking

I think they said /siˈan/

I want to go there. with crackers.
