If you can't even be assed enough to vote, why should anyone expect you to enact a "revolution?"

Vote, damn it. People not voting is why we're in this mess.

Things tend to be bad when you've preemptively decided in your mind that they're bad, yes.

Guys... you gotta see Hoppers. The first half is fun, sweet, but a bit cliche. The second half is genuinely bananas. In the BEST way.

GO SEE HOPPERS.

Fun fact: 3/4 of this movie takes place inside the head of a giant robot flying through space. #bionicle #millennialnostalgia

I had to take a break from social media and the news, because it is all so overwhelming and sad. Remember it is okay if you need to do so too. It is more important now than ever to protect your mental health. For me it is a necessity so I can be of service to others.

Dang, that doesn't even LOOK like AI in the slightest! Amazing stuff!

One of those things is not like the others, lol. But yeah, YouTube is a cesspool right now. I only subscribe to channels that I've thoroughly vetted aren't just ragebaiting grifters and are just fun and light but informative.

Notice how people say "Trump" rather than America while rightfully calling out his horrid actions, but people say "Israel" rather than "Netanyahu" to do the same for him?

That's the antisemitism talking. Netanyahu is a war criminal, same as Trump. HE should be criticized, not Israel's existence.

The only people screaming "The Nazis were right!" tend to be some of the more extremists of the Pro-Palestine movement, not the ones saying that Israel has a right to exist as a country even if its current government sucks. Also, wanting to dismantle a country completely isn't "criticism."

That sums it up, yes, lol

"Israeli propaganda?" Do you hear yourself?

03.03.2026 17:23 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 0

That I can agree with, and I don't condone that. But do the people screaming "Israel controls our politicians!" or "Zionists control our media!" really see it that way?

Yeah, that's geopolitics in a nutshell...

Roughly 90% of Jewish people are Zionists. Israel is linked intrinsically to their history and culture. What's truly the cornerstone of antisemitism is assuming the only way one can be antisemitic is to be as bad as the Nazis, rather than that being just one of many different ways.

Israel does exist, and in this context it absolutely is a codename for Jewish people.

Israel is intrinsic and historic to Jewish culture.

You can put cute little codenames on it all you want, we all know the real reason.

"Israel controls our country!" "Zionists control our media!" "AIPAC controls our politicians!"

It's funny, y'all use cutesy codenames, but you don't have to change a single other word in order to make it the most classic antisemitic rhetoric imaginable.

"How can I make this about Jewish people?"

Starting drafting a new book is the hardest part of writing. Outlining, no problem. Editing, super fun and relaxing. Middle and end when the characters are well established, sure, let's go. Begining? BEGINING?? HALP?

Mind you I have 3 outlines of different amounts of detail & character profilesπŸ˜…

I was going to condemn your nonsense, but it appears the comments are doing it quite nicely already. A pleasant surprise, I must say!

As for you, you clearly feel guilty, otherwise you wouldn't lash out. Fortunately, there's an easy solution for next time: vote blue.

I need to rant about something this morning.
I really am getting irritated by resistance accounts that, while otherwise approaching our problem correctly, keep telling us voting won't matter and the election won't be free and fair. Not only is that not helpful, it's actually harmful...

America had ONE JOB in both 2016 and 2024.

It was a failure from top to bottom.

Amazon data centers: How much water and electricity do they really use? Data centers create new jobs, use significantly less water than the clothing and beef industries, and don't drive up electricity rates.

Lookie here! AI data centers account for 0.15-0.2% of US freshwater consumption? Who would have thought?! Oh wait, anyone who actually researched this.

For comparison, agriculture is roughly 70-80%. And if you're like "yeah, but people need to eat," golf courses use roughly 5%. Do we need to golf?
