Imagine being so fucking stupid that you rape women, record the rape on a shitty smartphone, and you actually think that video works as blackmail…against the women. Alright, bet. Maybe it does, but the premise is just absurd.

“You stop talking about us being pieces of shit, or we’ll widely share documented evidence of us being pieces of shit.”

Take every man in the video, and the guy recording. Line them up. Shoot them in the head. Oh and be sure to record it on a shitty smartphone, or don’t, nobody cries when an asshole dies.

That makes me wonder why I should put it in my body. 😬

Rivian is an expensive failure. 😂 They’re going to steal VW 's money, whatever is invested, and they’re going to spend it all before VW can get it back. So…they’re going to lose at least $1B.

That is technically a mechanism. I’m wondering if Biden, Trump, or both experience some incredibly bizzare…accident…before November.

Idk if it even needs to be complicated. With Biden it could be every bit as simple as “Oh wow, look, he died in his sleep. NEXT!”. He looks rough. Wouldn’t take much.

Is there any feasible way to repackage it, perhaps in a jacket of more reliable explosives, and use it on the Russians? If it’s so big & terrible…let’s give it back to the bastards. And blow it up. Return to sender.

thank mr skeltal

Those people do not share your perspective. I do view it as largely subconsciously selfish, but your take is fucked up.

If you’re also bitter about it, don’t buy wireless earbuds from the phone brands. Samsung, Apple, etc.

Admittedly it’s not a big thing, but I don’t think we should directly financially reward the same people who took the aux port from us.

Sennheiser is good but sometimes at bit more spendy. I like Jabra Elite 8 Actives, for dust/dirt/sweat resistance. Maybe the sound isn’t quite as nice, but I’m fine with it. And Jabra isn’t a company that took the aux port out of our phones.

Keep busy with something. The day a man retires is the day he begins to die. Always keep busy, just try to be happy about it & maybe take a slower pace.

A couple years back, I saw a really old woman slinging fries at McD’s. She seemed happy enough, not destitute, this job was just something not too difficult to do to pass the time.

I’m more of a coffeeshop guy, myself. I could see myself doing that.

Hey guys FTR, I am fine, I just wanted to check it out of pure curiosity & I was denied. The irony is making me lmao.

You’ve been holding out on us! Please upload some pictures of beautiful Italy.

This is actually really funny because I think Michael Knowles talked about this exact same thing either 2 or 3 days ago. The conclusion was: we have these instincts. Some people just really like exercising them, and others, they’re exercising fear/horror/disgust in a safe, controlled environment because that helps to prepare them for the fears, horrors, disgust they’ll face in real life.

Not that they’re thinking that consciously. But subconsciously.

The message of Christianity is excellent for subjugating populations, giving them purpose & hope, keeping people busy & out of trouble. I think that all sounds very appealing to rulers.

To leave the US isn’t as easy in itself…to leave, and sever all financial ties, even moreso. I think you must renounce your US citizenship to stop paying income taxes. $2400 + any exit fees, for those with a little more built-up wealth.

Where to go, where to land, is another big question. Nerds with their remote working jobs can go anywhere, work from anywhere, and get their money. I am a blue collar laborer. Pros & cons to that, but it does physically limit where one can go & make a halfway successful, nice living.

I do believe the US is in decline. This could be a Rome type situation, where it is in decline for centuries. When you’re at the top, there’s a long way to fall. It might be best to position yourself accordingly, and not make any rash decisions.

“It is a bummer that you feel financially stressed, particularly these last 4 years. But things could be worse! Somehow. Vote Biden in again & you’ll see.”

Sometimes when I’m randomly banned from speaking for no good reason at all, I test to see if I’m still banned by typing ‘A’ & deleting it. This account has been muted for a week & it looks like it’s finally lifted. For now.

My stuff still shows up as ‘deleted by creator’. I’ve noticed the blanks, too. I use Sync for Lemmy.

Came to say, touch grass. Get a job, get busy. Clean your home (I sure need to!), tidy up your corner of the world & exert positive control over things you can control. If you can’t control it, please, don’t worry about it.
