I've been trying this new pokemon tcg pocket. Going second is actually a huge advantage.

You forgot the panel where they get people to blame it on raising minimum wage, through confirmation bias.

I agree. Slotted screws are the worst.

Nothing has replaced what Reddit was. I use Lemmy for the nostalgic feeling but it does not compare.

I followed news, politics and science, mostly. The community on Reddit used every tool available to create credibility. Then profiteering tore it asunder.

The only other social media app I ever use is Facebook. But it's purely for connections to friends, family and local hobby groups.

Are you a Vulcan?

That's the kind of scientist I want to be. I wish it paid.

I can't handle stupid right now.

I enjoy this.

Apparently putting a huge number of people in jail for minor possession of a drug that is only illegal because of racist 70s politics is spotless, and doing so to support capitalizing the prison system, is spotless. I call it dehumanizing and unconstitutional, but I just care about empirical data that apparently is completely unimportant in tribalist capitalist worshiping countries like the USA.

There's a fat old man with a red hat and a gun sitting on my first switch. I'm gonna go ahead and see if I can fix the other switch while everyone else is getting run over.

In Florida, I have heard it from way too many people to feel comfortable. Republicans will say how they are ready if Trump loses. They say it's because there is no way he can lose unless it's all rigged. They believe this will happen. The worst I heard was a guy saying he will shoot anybody he suspects is not on his team. Others were not quite as ready, but definitely as angry and ignorant with the means. Some of the more intellectual I talk to are quick to point out the flaws of Democrats and how that said is more violent because of all the riots.

Living here is scary. It would be a war of ignorance, frustration, and hate against a false enemy. It will be a passionate group of clueless rebels without an enemy based in reality. Anyone could become a casualty in the chaos. These people are anti-intellectual, basing everything on what they call "common sense." What that actually mean is whatever reinforces their anger in the moment is the truth no matter how ignorant or hypocritical.

It feels too real that citizens will be taking up arms. The worst part is not knowing who they will attack since the enemy is all in their heads.

I realized this around 15 years ago. I would listen to a lot different sources on the radio. I was amazed at how predictable and malicious this was.

When I heard an intelligent conversation from the left or center, I could identify the new word of the day that was used in context with important meaning. I knew that by the next day I could turn on Glenn Beck and hear that word bastardized into his regressive spin. I wish I could think of some examples but it was so long ago.
