No I’ve recognized the virus-like existence of humans for the bulk of my 43 years.
So do most of the people who vote (or don’t vote) for this shit. Maybe we should stop focusing so much on how much everyone else sucks and start trying to help each other.
People giving up is what got us into this position.
That is very clearly not a civil war battlefield.
Only the 10% or so that paid attention to “nerd stuff”.
All the rest are, at best boomer level, at worst smug about being at boomer level.
What does frog golf have to do with discs?
They finally made a monkey out of him…
What distro is this?
Depends on how they define winning. They may not be winning in your eyes, but not everyone views the world (or success) in the same way.
Or are you trolling me now?
The point of trolling isn’t to have reasoned debate, it’s to get people riled up and acting irrationally.
Seems like they’re still winning.
Why can’t a person be both a successful businessman and a colossal douchebag?
I think a more informative question would be “Why can’t a person be both a successful businessman and not a colossal douchebag?”
You can always move. I started on Kbin.
Admittedly, having the service collapse in on itself probably helps with the migration…
They’re supporters of authoritarian dictatorships. Which is distinct from, and frankly incompatible with, the ideals of Communism.
There are definitely those who decided that communism wasn’t what it was, at took the label for themselves to try and fool their constituencies into believing their dictatorships were “for the best”… but they were never ideologically communist.
Probably more of a “Soviet inspired systems aren’t socialist” kinda guy.
This has been a joke since before anything resembling the modern “AI” boom. Basically since murderous future AI was a think in popular media, at least since Terminator if not earlier. People would joke about treating their appliances kindly so that “Skynet” won’t kill them in the future.
Some people have been trying, sure. But most just choose to try and prove their superiority by being as obnoxious as possible.
And no, saying what you believe to be right in a condescending matter is not “trying to explain facts”.
Yes, because we haven’t been calling them fools for years, maybe we should try it! Maybe it’ll work and not just drive them further and further away from sanity out of spite!

Oh, he definitely does malign things that hurts both the US as a country and Earth as a whole… but not everything he says is indicative of what he does. If you simply take everything he says at face value, you will get so mired in bullshit that you won’t be able to pull yourself out when something meaningful does happen.
If you just sum it up as being stupid, you ignore the inherent nature of it.
It’s intentionally stupid to make you pay attention to instead of anything truly meaningful. The political equivalent of saying something wrong on the internet just so some angry nerd comes along to correct you. He is stoking outrage for the sake of outrage, so that his bedfellows can capitalize on it, and he can mooch off them.
Grellow.
Or, if you’re feeling nasty, yeen.
My guy, I’m almost as old as you. I just haven’t given up yet.
If you want to give, that’s fine. You can enjoy your schadenfreude while the world burns around you, I’d rather at least think about doing something about it.
