I don’t even know what her voice sounds like haha

I really wish they could redo at the least the prequels

Disney:

Lmaoooo

Don’t forget maternity leave!

What the actual fuck lol

Everytime I think the country has finally sank to its absolute bottom, there’s still something left to morally shock me. What the hell is wrong with that place? It’s like something out of a poorly written scifi novel…

Definitely, and “data” is just a single bullet point on the list lol

It’d be like going to a quack doctor and saying “No way am I letting you operate on my brain! …open heart surgery? Yeah, that’s fine” lol

Yeah I wouldn’t lol

I laughed at this harder than I should have lol

Learned about that from John Oliver. How the hell the unions have just quietly sat on that for 40 years as if they didn’t get their legs knocked from under there is beyond me.

If he was PM here in UK he would be facing calls to resign.

Real, I remember the day before Truss left, I overheard some man on the bus saying on the phone how she and the entire party should be “strung up in the streets”.

UK isn’t as quick to tolerate that sort of shit lol. They may drag their feet at times, but when they decide you’re gone, you’re gone.

It’s crazy how much the American populace is willing to put up with.

I’m not sure what happens when it all collapses

What happened to all the Nazis in 1945?

So basically same as the first time

Hey son! Are ya winning?

And his entire campaign was based on convincing willful idiots that his presidency would do the exact opposite.

Now the US is dead last in education, science, GDP and trade. Lmao

Good luck blaming all that on Biden and Obama as if it’s possible to pretend that any facet of society wasn’t objectively better. There is no war in Ba Sing Se!

This but unironically. It’s how authoritarians retain power.

Oh shit lol

they don’t even seem to read what you write so much as just make up stuff in their heads that what you said is some dog-whistle about ‘who you really are’.

Lol I was just saying this the other day about the last time I bothered checking replies. A simple question I asked started a civil war in the comments, and I couldn’t believe how strongly people were personally attacking each other based on the random comment of some stranger that they decided to imbue with all these extra meanings.

It’s just a bunch of angry people looking for outlets for their emotions, the actual meanings behind the words don’t matter.

I run on another reddit alternative that was apparently an offshoot refuge after Squabbler shit hit the fan (so extremely niche yet somewhat active community) with a completely different demographic of users to Lemmy (mostly middle-aged centrists/liberals that couldn’t tell apart a Linux distro from a macbook), and I can tell you.

It’s universal.

I posted something the other day about how nice it was to wake up and have your feet hit a warm rug that’s been baked in a sunbeam first thing in the morning, and shityounot the replies I immediately got ranged from “Why even bother getting out of bed” and a list of things that are “far superior” to a warm rug. Just blatant whataboutism all the way down, and almost made me consider that if I had posted the opposite, about how much I dislike that sort of thing, if people would have then flipflopped and disagreed lol

Then I came to Lemmy for a break, and the first post I saw was a photo of someone’s pet bunny next to some food they’d ordered, and every single comment was about how OP was a bad person and should be ashamed of themselves for using a delivery app. It was fucking wild.

I think it’s genuinely just the state of the world right now. Everyone’s enraged as hell and seemingly have zero real world outlets for it. So it all just gets funneled into stranger interactions online.

I just try not to read replies and generally move on with my day rather than absorb all that insanity. If people really need an outlet or whatever that badly they can go scream at ChatGPT for an hour lmao

If you haven’t been banned there you have not truly lived

Damn, you guys really make me feel like I’m missing out lol
