Band together and do what? All the like minded dudes I know are in the same boat as me. We’re collectively fucked. We meme about in discord but nobody has any solutions.

They probably feel like they’re fucked either way and have nothing going for them. That makes it easier to side with the dude spouting hate. If I was that age I’d probably be in the same boat as them because being angry and hateful feels good and it took me a while to get that under control. I certainly didn’t have any actual hope things would improve after this election but I did vote for Kamala because she at least wasn’t spouting hateful shit. Not that it helped because I live in a dark red district. If there hadn’t been an abortion amendment on the ballot I’d have probably skipped this one.

If only Kamala hadn’t been taking all her political queues from MataVatnik everything would be different now.

You think Trump is going to stop genocide?

Biden could do some official acts. But he won’t.

It’s definitely a good thing. If someone wants to be on the popular platform go back to Reddit or Twitter. That’s what most people want. The Fediverse is the minority that wants something different.

1. Disband HOA

2. Let it go to seed with native plants.

Hey! The US has been genociding people way longer than that. Give them some credit.

I’d buy an electric one. I don’t need to haul a trailer or anything huge.

Cool, now bring back single cab light trucks with full length beds.

Probably my earliest memory of interacting with someone outside my family was when I was in an Easter egg hunt and being a little kid somehow managed to drop all my eggs. Another kid stopped what he was doing to help me pick them up. I don’t know why but that stuck in my head and I think it’s influenced how I’ve treated people throughout my life.

I’m older than you but otherwise the same. Seems like everything is going in the wrong direction thanks to corpos trying to wring as much money as possible out of it rather than making it as useful to people as possible.

This is why you have conversations about the weird shit you want to do before you get married.

I started playing X4 last weekend and was able to hyper-fixate on it for almost an entire day. It’s been like a year since I was able to do that on anything. It was nice to get my mind off shit for a while.

I live in a basement and it was dark enough I had to turn the lights on a 4:30 yesterday. That was depressing.

I get it. I’m the same way about instant mashed potatoes because that’s what my grandma always made and that’s just how mashed potatoes should be (to me). Not a fan of real ones really the texture is just off. I can’t speak to pancakes because I can’t think of any pancakes I’ve ever had that really stand out from any others but it could be something like that. Pancakes certainly don’t seem to be worth arguing over to me.

My experience with leftovers growing up was having to eating my mom’s terrible cooking again when it wasn’t even good fresh. As an adult I love them because I like my own cooking and it means I get to skip a few nights a week.

Im only moderately worried. My experience with it has been shit and that’s been the consensus among my peers. It can be useful bit it requires a lot of hand holding and verification to get anything of quality from it. The bigger concern for me is all the people using it without doing the hand holding and just throwing whatever garbage it churns out into production.

Kind of hard when the popular kids decide to single you out and you become a pariah. There were a couple of groups I was on the periphery of but nobody ever backed me up when I was getting fucked with. I had 4 dudes I would consider to be friends but we didn’t really have common interests and lost 2 of them to a car accident halfway through. Fuck high school.

And here I just used up my PTO.
