BASED ALERT

Capitalism existed long before 1850.

Balkan Odyssey made one that is about an hour long.

Hakim made another which is much shorter - around 25 minutes or so.

Those are the only ones I know but both are very good.

this is the future gooners want and it’s even more cringe than i expected tbh

I am the opposite of Hakim on that commercial.

It’s sad and depressing - even infuriating - within context but honestly I can’t help but laugh whenever I see it. It’s just too surreal to take seriously.

Depends.

If they’re strangers I ignore them.

If I know them but not well I try to avoid them or at least avoid the topic.

If I know them well I try to talk to them in a respectful and patient manner unless I already know they won’t listen in which case I treat them like a stranger and ignore them.

Again: you are refusing to think critically and shutting out arguments rather than listening to them.

I’m not saying the dictionary is wrong; I’m saying the dictionary doesn’t offer a complete understanding - something you don’t seem to understand as you’re treating it like gospel. The dictionary is the beginning, not the end.

You are being willfully obtuse and acting in bad faith.

The dictionary is a resource whose purpose is to help foster understanding.

It is not a “See? You’re wrong!” card to pull out when you don’t have an actual counter argument.

You are refusing to think critically about this and it’s stunting your ability to actually engage in good faith since you’ve already made up your mind that you’re right and we’re wrong.

I don’t know how anyone can say this unironically when the entire history of racism has demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is simply not true.

Did you just sleep through history class after getting to the 16th century?

😭

ironic calling them martyrs seeing as the only ones that died were killed by friendly fire

Racism is prejudice + power.

It’s not some vibe you get when someone is mean to you.

Grade Schoolers can understand this. Why can’t you?

Never understood the appeal. Her music is boring, unoriginal, sanitized, basic, and bland. Exactly what you expect from corporate pop music.

That’s fair.

I don’t really identify with the “American” label on a social or cultural level anymore. To me that’s just what my citizenship is. These days I tend just call myself a Yankee more generally or a Hoosier if I need to be more specific. These are labels that in my perspective are tied more to regions and the people in them rather than the polities that occupy them.

dead pedo

Pretty much, yeah. Imgur is the same (same community, even) but arguably worse since subreddits don’t exist.

Please don’t let redditors form your opinion on any group of people.

Most Americans are admittedly terrible but most Americans aren’t redditors thankfully.

Insane that people still romanticize that guy.

Adulterer, wife beater, egotist, fake hippie, etc.

Dude was just a fraud. Worst Beatle by far and as a musician he was just ‘meh’ at best.

Honestly? Sometimes being ground and mentally healthy requires a bit of fatalism.

Some things are very much out of your control and once you learn to accept that it becomes much easier to get through bad circumstances. It’s basically a survival mechanism for a lot of people.

I could lose my job tomorrow but I’m not gonna lose sleep over that because it’s simply out of my hands. If it happens, it happens. All I can do is figure out how to move forward if it does. So I don’t worry about it.

Sometimes all you can do is react to things as they impact you and that’s fine. Not everything can be fixed, avoided, or prevented. Sometimes you step in dog shit and just need to worry about washing it out.

Sometimes there really is nothing I can do and learning to live with that has helped my mental state immensely.

Let’s say someone (not me) wants to switch over from Windows 10 to Linux (definitely not me) but is too tech stupid (assuredly not me) to know how to do this.

Can anyone possibly help this person (who is obviously not me) with doing this? I’m sure she (who is again not me) would be grateful.
