Storytime!

I was taking a mental health day not too long ago and went to a local diner. My thought was I should try interacting outside my bubble to make me feel better. And it kinda worked…ish. I should’ve read the flags, one of which was him saying my paper was fake news, but alas.

Started talking to this old dude, apparently had a long historical knowledge of his family, which he stated family history placed their start in the 1700s. Talked about how his family took place in all the wars.

After an insane detour on how the North actually was at fault for the first shots fired, he pivoted to how Sherman burned down the family plantation. How absolutely terrible that was for his family.

Then he pivoted to talking about the KKK, and whewwww did that illuminate the absolute dichotomy of history for me. He stated that “they originally formed to protect women that were beat by their husbands.” After I asked about the whole racism bit, he said it wasn’t as bad as people made out.

At that point I grabbed my check and peaced out. Totally helped me get over my funk by showing just how fucking insane people’s idea of history is.

If it’s over 100%, does that mean he’s pushing out people in the US? 🤔

Ya that was a fucking mess. I truly don’t understand how the Rs could be thunderously applauding anything, until I realize they just don’t care.

I mean…dems haven’t learned anything. They still are trying to say it’s because they went too far left when in reality they keep pushing right trying to chase some ethereal version of a center-right Republican voter.

They need to go back to the version of themselves where they are actually a party of the working class. Instead, we’re still witnessing them chasing dollars.

Fuck, the US really wanting to get back to it’s roots on genocides…

Got 6 chickens last year, the wife said we probably spent too much decking out their living space. I say probably, but they’re more pets for me to have, the 6 eggs a day is just a nice bonus.

Smash cut to this year: suddenly my “investment” is going to be paid off much sooner 😅

Wut?

They’re a drug dealer, and this is the initial hookup

…Seagate’s FARM (field-accessible reliability metrics) values reveal that some had operated for over 50,000 hours.

From the article 😉

“Well—I’m—we are the federal law. You better do it because otherwise, you’re not going to get any federal funding at all if you don’t.”

This sentence. First, almost “I’m the federal law,” followed by just a completely wonky sentence. What a technically human being

If they’re not sanitizing that, they deserve to have their system broken lol

This is a much better article than the “here are States impacted, enjoy!” article I saw yesterday

The “nice” thing here is that it would actually put in the record how corrupt he is. Not that that would do much other than nock another arrow for later suits.

Crap, good point!

Didn’t mean to be aggressive, just personally trying to prevent the bubble effect that’s gotten us to where we are 🙂

Didn’t check “rezero” when formatting 🙃

As someone not defederated from them, it’s not terrible. For the most part, you just see shitposts. Occasionally, you see tankie shit and move on with the day. A load of times, they post and engaging isn’t terrible. It’s like most places on the web, except here you can ban them.

My approach has been to not explicitly ban unless there are active issues. People posting aren’t problematic; there’s a new conservative sub that posts some garbage links, but I’m not going to ban them for having terrible takes from breitbart.

It’s similar to how “Covid caused us to raise prices!” Sure, initially it would have, but then they saw that watermark and kept bumping it higher, all the while blaming supply chains.

Fast forward to now: Covid is “over,” yet somehow all my groceries still cost much more.

Give them a week, they’ll figure out some bend of interpretation

“Yea look, see! Deceased 1974! How can that be possible!?”

Loads of fun watching people learn then SSIDs aren’t infinite and are reused…

“Responsible” citizenship usually indicates you are willing to help out others, as well as take serious existential issues that affect the planet as a whol…oh, just nationalism? Every man for himself? Fuck everyone but me? Neat!

So glad this is the timeline.
