do good deeds, be polite, and overall be decent members of society that help where is needed

They call that “woke”.

Edit - oh whoops, didn’t mean to just steal that right out of @stovetop@lemmy.world 's mouth.

This is a weird one, but grocery stores for cultures other than my own.

For one, there’s SO MUCH cool shit and delicious foods I never even knew existed. I think the biggest factor though is it’s the closest I’ve ever gotten to actually traveling. Can’t afford the real thing.

While I also love their restaurants and cultural events, there’s something about being served or attempting to showcase major cultural highlights in some event that kills the authenticity of the experience.

In their grocery stores, I’m surrounded by that same culture, but none of it’s about me: the other shoppers don’t give a fuck about me, the staff only interact at the checkout… and other than that it’s just me and a can of… some kind of sauce? I can’t read it… but some elderly Asian woman just grabbed two of them and the rest of her cart is filled with what will undeniably become an amazing meal… fuck it, I’ll give it shot!

The drinks and junk food too are also usually a safe option to find something both very different from what I’m used to and very tasty.

Definitely spent more than a few bucks on things that weren’t… eh… compatible with my palette, but finding out is part of the experience.

Idk. Weird thing to get excited about, but it’s a good time.

Trump is a symptom. Don’t get me wrong, the sooner he succumbs to his decades long suicide-by-cheeseburger the better, but shit isn’t going to get better once he finally fucks off.

After seeing him in action for 4 years and hearing all the Nazi shit he’s said since, the average voter decided they like him even more than they did the first time - they fucking love that evil shit, and that’s the problem. When Trump is gone, some other evil fucker will step into the spotlight and the 73 million Nazis that voted to burn our country down will just focus their support over to the new guy.

And it’s not going away with boomers or any other generation either. I had high hopes for Z, but it turns out a lot of them are little Nazis too.

Humans are trash, and we’ll continue to live in a dumpster until we’re extinct.

We should give Ukraine full air support. Best case, the war ends before we hand the keys of the Whitehouse to a Nazi. Worst case, we all erupt into nuclear fire before we hand the keys of the Whitehouse to a Nazi.

Win win.

Why? It’s official presidential business. Just hang out in the Whitehouse until Trump finally finds some way to die.

What’s the worst that could happen? …cuz it’s a hell of a lot better than what we just elected.

I think previous poster is being critical of the moral high grounders that just sold the planet out, not actually supporting that shit.

SpongeBob “We did it, Patrick!” meme energy.

Looking at their comment history, they don’t appear to be a dipshit.

Fuck it. Sign me up.

That’s not how Republicans do. They’ll love every second of their own oppression so long as women/queer/colored/etc people are being oppressed too.

…wait how many plagues were supposed to be? I thought we were done with this after the locusts n’ shit.

For real though, what does the rescue float in the meme represent irl?

Cuz I sure as fuck won’t be praying, but I’m not really seeing any options other than watching in horror as our country burns down around us.

We can’t even point to the electoral college fucking us over this time - an actual majority of voters decided they want to experience 1930s Germany live and in color.

We’re not going to fix a political system when the majority of actual voters are evil to the core.

Whittling away at pawns isn’t what we need right now.

Quote appears to be from this article, citing a poll.

I can’t find the actual poll though.

If we’re talking that shitty highschool cafeteria pizza, I swear doing this made it taste better.

To hell with calories or fitness or any of that crap - it’s the noms that matter.

Trump’s dog whistle…

Well fuck, sorry to hear that. I live in the cousin-fuckingly deep south and have always kinda hoped that shit was better in the more sane states.

Addendum:

Bring a CIS vanilla ally, and if shady shit happens, get the fuck out of there while they make the call.

Portal if you want to pass the controller, Portal 2 if you want multiplayer. Both great options for what you’re describing.

Well, hence the ‘if the cops in your area aren’t absolute dogshit’ disclaimer, with a list of a state-specific plan-b’s contingent on the cops in your area infact being absolute dogshit.

I, perhaps naively, like to cling to the belief that there are at least few departments that adhere to the community-servant ideal concept of applying their power… But again, if that unicorn doesn’t describe your local dept, there’s the list.

Hello from All – What’s up trans friends!

So yeah, #1 priority is be safe; but also know that voter intimidation is… apparently only a misdemeanor?! I thought this shit was like 10 years… …in any case, it’s an enforceable offense, so if you see that bullshit happening, don’t be afraid to call it in. If the cops in your area aren’t absolute dogshit, then 9-1-1 ought to do, (edit - uh… maybe scratch that… See the responses to this comment) but there appear to be some state-specific resources too:

Blatantly stealing the info @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world posted over on YSK:

Just imagine the schadenfreude high you’ll get from watching some bigot get shoved into a squad car!!

In any case, go kick some ass at at the ballot box! (by like, voting for people who aren’t nazis - don’t go and kick literal ass, or YOU’LL be the one getting called in). Good luck!!

I have no idea what the actual origin story for Fallout’s Brotherhood of Steel is, but I’d at least place OP’s post as a strong candidate.

In all seriousness, if it ever gets out of uncanny valley, then yeah that’s a major transparency issue. The problem at that point becomes, even with laws in place to prevent it, who’s to say those will actually be followed? It’ll cause the same issues that deepfakes are causing now, but off-screen in real time. That would have crazy-bad implications for politics, security, social engineering, market manipulation…
