Sorry guys but this is one of the reasons I fucking hate your country.

Your country is a shit show no matter who’s in charge.

American evangelicals are the craziest bunch of kooks on the planet. As a Canadian I gotta wonder if normal Americans are embarrassed by their evangelicals. I mean it’s all about money and maybe a little Jesus as long as you hate the gays.

It’s nuts.

When you don’t vote you are voting for the guy who wins.

You hate trump but you hate the other guy too. You don’t vote. That’s one more vote not going against the guy who wins.

Say you have 100 people voting. 60 people decide not to vote. Out of the 40 people who vote 25 vote for guy A and 15 vote for guy B. Guy A wins majority even though only 25 people out of 100 voted for him. This means that guy A caters to the 25 people who voted for him and the 60 people who didn’t bother to vote get zero representation even though they’re the majority.

If the 60 people who didn’t vote decided “he’s not great but he’s better than guy A I will vote for guy B” guy B would win with 75 votes, an actual majority.

Sometimes it’s better to vote for the lesser of two evils and push the not great guy to do better than to just resign your fate to the worst guy and let the entire thing just burn.

Every time I tell you what I think of you it gets deleted. So I’ll just say see you next Tuesday.

Barbarians.

If you want to know why I’m an atheist.

What kind of entity has 3 different sects of people who all believe this is what it wants?

Religion is a cancer.

This whole shit storm has been about one thing. Putins legacy as the czar that reformed the USSR. That’s it. He wants to lift the iron curtain high once more. It’s all dick stroking by a madman.

Why hasn’t the cancer killed the mother fucker already?

This child was not Hamas. The ambulance was not Hamas.

If anyone should understand the horrors of genocide it’s the Jewish people. This is the same level of nightmare the world watched in horror in the 1940s.

This is madness.

In 20 years you’re going to be trying to find something to watch and flicking through the channels/streamers you’re going to see it and realize you haven’t watched it in ages. Then the nostalgia will kick in and it won’t seem half as bad as you thought it was in 2017 (dear god 2037 isn’t as far away as it feels 🫨) and you’ll actually enjoy it. You might even have a few youngins you want to share the experience with and you’ll spend Christmas vacation watching the entire franchise with the littles.

It happens to all of us eventually. Well, a lot of us.

No, they really aren’t. You can’t go onto any page run by or made for a minority group without constant nazi level hate and yet Facebook does nothing. If however you defend yourself you get banned for bullying. They enjoy causing harm to vulnerable communities because they like to make money and don’t care who gets hurt as long as ad revenue keeps rolling in.

They specifically have hate speech as a reportable offence and do absolutely zero about all forms of hate speech. I’ve reported people calling others f××××× and they’ve done nothing. I don’t even think they believe n××××× is offensive.

Yep

People HATED the prequels when they came out, trust me. Your kids will love the new trilogy and you’ll remember it with fondness. That’s just the way it goes.

It’s a nightmare for anyone who isn’t a straight white american male really.

I fucking hate all meta platforms now. I’ve been on Facebook since the day it went public (allowing anyone to join instead of just college students) and it’s just a nazi recruitment platform now. There is not accountability for bad behaviour, in fact they reward trolls and punish people for dairing to defend themselves.

If I’m harrassed it doesn’t go against community standards but if I defend myself I get banned for 30 days for bullying.

It’s fucked up and it’s deliberate. I’ve actually gotten a ban for two emojis 🐓🍭 got me a ban but bigotry and hate speech are a ok. Ironically even Jewish people aren’t safe on meta platforms. Antisemitic behaviour is rampant, even way before the Gaza war so its not people who give a shit about Palestine.

I remember when googles catch phrase was “don’t be evil.”

I miss non evil google.

I had been on reddit since 2008, I was looking for an alternative to the message boards I belonged to after the popularity of Facebook killed them off. I really enjoyed it, not the same level of community that you find in a message board but still good for conversation.

Then trump happened and it turned to shit. It’s so fucking toxic and I ended up getting banned for defending myself. Apparently fascism is good and standing up for yourself goes against community standards.

I’m a disabled 49 year old just looking for conversation. Facebook is also a toxic wasteland now. To say I miss myspace is an understatement but there’s hardly anyone there anymore.

I’m happy whenever I find a place that’s put the social back into social media because antisocial media is just trash.
