They convinced themselves that every other major government in the world, as well as every single scientist and most other people were lying to them about Covid.

I remember extended family members going on about how it’s a hoax as they were dying in the hospital from it

Some people will flip the universe inside out, upside down, and throw it in a blender to make their world view okay.

Lmao ban weather because rainbows make you gay

Oh yeahhhhhh

Apologies for those who have now lost the rest of their day…

And gadsden flag, and trump flag, and thin blue line flag.

The problem is that there pushing their culture onto everyone else.

This is so fucking priceless, it should be in a museum.

Please inform me which part of their culture they are “pushing” on everyone else, that way I can ask you why it’s okay for the straights to do it, but nobody else gets to.

LGBTQ people exist. That’s something you can never, ever change. So maybe get over it and stop saying that them existing in public is somehow negatively impacting anyone who isn’t just a scared little bigot.

Is it original? Not even a little.

But that’s why we have come to expect it at least once in any game with waterfalls.

Honestly, I’m cool with it being an explicitly empty chest. Like put a journal next to it of some guy who looted it and left a note taunting anyone who thinks such an obvious place to hide treasure would remain un-looted. (and then let me track them down and stab them a bit for the taunt)

So many options, and all it takes is putting a lil something something behind some water curtains.

If your game has 10,000 I expect to find something interesting behind at least one. And as long as there’s one, I’m content.

And I will still check the other 9,9999 even after being told there’s nothing else.

Former Christian here: it is a cult. Full stop. You are throwing your decisions around based on a belief that there’s some magical perfect happy place we all get to go.

Starting from that alone means we have VASTLY different goals. So many Cultists believe no matter what they do they’re still going to paradise so fuck whatever happens here.

The staunch angry denial without a hint of reflection on how religion has undeniably damaged the world is very telling about what OP is willing to accept. I recognized religion has failed the world even when I was still religious.

No, I don’t know there’s nothing after we die, but I DO know there are things HERE AND NOW that need more ACTUAL FUCKING WORK and your prayers are worth the toilet paper I’ll print them on.

And I am so fucking tired of “well they aren’t TRUE Christians because we don’t get taught that” any of the many, many, many, many, TOO FUCKING MANY TIMES when Christians, ÉN MASSE , do shitty things. No TRUE scottsman… My brother in education, you cannot keep saying your religion is peaceful when it rather spectacularly and historically is extremely violent.

This is exactly the dumb shit take from y2k.

I Still hear people go on about how “it was supposed to be this big thing and then nothing happened! Smart people are so dumb!”

Yeah nothing happened because a lot of smart people worked very hard to fix the goddamn problem, you fucking shitwaffle.

Here? “You dum dums got so worked up thinking it would pass and then it didn’t, so the freak out was for nothing!” yeah it didn’t pass because a lot of Europeans got very upset about their governments trying to spy on them harder than ever.

I’m not European, so I can’t say how people talked about it openly on the metro with random strangers, but online? People were vocal and pissed. A PROPER government (lol can we have some of that functioning democracy please) listens to its people. This was them listening to the people.

The people’s reaction was appropriate, and necessary. And shouldn’t be lessened just because “lol you guys got so propaganda’d and it was obviously never gonna happen and I knew cause I’m so smart” is quite the take on things.

So which is it, a safety issue, or a “political ideology” issue?

And since when has a group of people existing been a “political ideology”?

30s, I am much slower to bounce back from muscular injuries, and if I smash my knee, it’s gonna be a week before I don’t need a brace. Being overweight is a big part of that though. I’m sure if I had kept my weight off after my last surgery 10 years ago I’d be quicker to recover joint injuries.

Illnesses are about the same? Maybe? Idk whenever I got a cold I would be miserable for a week, and that hasn’t changed. Every so often I’ll get something that knocks me on my ass for 2-4 days, and when I was younger it was probably only 1-2 days. I was sick much more as a kid though so that’s likely one reason, my immune system isn’t exposed to as many things anymore so illnesses that DO hurt are worse than they used to be. I’m not a biologist though, and pathology sounds like what a startup company that makes designer walkways would call themselves.

I also think I’m much funnier than I used to, but that’s likely unrelated to illnesses…

Seems like a well-regulated militia would go a long way here.

It’s because some people are still playing by a rulebook that’s burning in the corner trash can. Some people are still concerned with “what’s proper”.

In other words, “because she’s living in a fantasy world where normally that would have been a bad look”

So Texas is trying to kick off a civil war by invading another state.

reads manual

You’re only confused because I’m dumb! For some reason I was thinking toner and laser were separate types.

I bought a toner printer in 2020 and I’m still on the first replacement cart. I have over 2000 pages printed.

Considering I spent $80, plus $40 on the new two pack of toner, I consider it money well spent.

I do wish I had bought a laser printer though… There are things I would like to begin printing that will be several thousand pages after it’s all finished. Mostly reference materials.

Feel free to turn a blind eye to reality, not all of us are priveleged enough to do so.

Well since the US government doesn’t own a massive body of water, nor can it truly claim to own a mountain that’s been around for 200 million years (I’m not sure of the actual age of the range, I’m just basing off geologic maps of bedrock age) , i hold the “new names” in the same regard as I would if someone intruduced themselves as Bill but some guy keeps yelling at me “HER NAME IS AMY DON’T CALL HER BILL”

I give the crackhead down the street who calls the three block area his “domain” more respect than the US regime.

I still have the VHS I recorded it on back in the day. No vcr, but it’s sitting in a box in my closet, waiting for the day when I want to see commercials for SG1 Mondays and other Sci fi shows.

Also the DVD, since I actually want to watch it every so often…

I keep introducing it to new people, but it seems to be a bit of a niche interest.

It must be nice, living in a fantasy world where good people win because they’re good and the bad guys get to sit in jail for being bad.

I would love it if we lived in an ideal world where everyone plays by the rules.

I am not naive enough to think we live in that world.

Well, shit.

I think Putler figured out how to make Trump slam his foot down about Ukranian support.

Dementia Don has already praised this war criminal many times, he believes Putin is a poster child for being a strong man and great leader.
