I went to a concert last night and it was surreal. We're just going to sit here and let the train hit us and the world. Mass delusion.

Television affects people’s thinking.

[–] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh come on, TV is so 60's-90's complaints. These days it's TikTok and YouTube rotting minds.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Certainly. Nobody listened in the 60s-90s either.

You get used to it when it’s been sinking since before you were born.

That captain is sleeping. No, don't wake him up! That's when he messes up the least.

It’s not accurate, there’s not enough dead brown people and guns and the water’s not covered in oil and there’s not a giant yacht zooming in the other direction, away from this disaster.

that's fair

The women also need to be reaching 300lbs

Edit: Hey the average weight of American women is 170.8 lbs. Sure 300lb is exaggerating but that means there are a lot much heavier.

Downvote away, that's what people think of us for good reason

Body shaming is pretty unpopular on Lemmy.

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I thought we were American shaming

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's better ways to do it.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Like using Facebook and Reddit and Fox News and podcaster propaganda to get a bumbling idiot elected.

Me just thinking that my grandparents came here for a better life. Now people from my country get killed by ICE.

But if I leave and go back with cousins in Mexico I have no doubt that the USA government and billionaires bs is going to spread its impact worldwide.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 6 points 1 week ago

It will wherever you end up, don't put that on yourself.

Wait I think I know this boat. I am pretty sure it is a sunk boat in miami that was there for a really long time. A lot of people used to go canoe over to it and take pictures.

[–] fleem@piefed.zeromedia.vip 3 points 1 week ago

there was a similar situation near Beaufort SC where a decently large catamaran from the 80s was anchored out in the bay for years.

old empty boat. big enough for a large galley and other rooms

i hopped up on it in the daytime a few times. it was crazy

[–] oxideseven@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Yup. I've been there. There was an older nastier one in Palm Beach too. But not nearly the tourist trap as this one

Bread and circus. No bread, but a whole lot of circus to keep people occupied while they go under.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

can’t even afford clothes

Epstein holding the camera

They look like adults.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

…that’s fair

[–] Steve@startrek.website 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That boat is probably sitting on the bottom. America still has farther to fall, believe it or not.

In for a penny, in for a pound

The one on the left looks like she would get offended if you pointed out the reality that the ship is sinking instead of going along with the delusion.

Like a magician accidentally revealing their own secret mid trick and getting mad if you don't pretend to be baffled at how they just sawed that lady in half and put her right back together.
