Next up, they declare themselves fascists and arrest all their opponents.

This a joke but these fucking clowns…who knows.

Same as always, better patenting.

My three boys don’t have filters on the internet, instead of blocking them from the world, I raised them in it.

5 words and I’m the troll.

Best of luck bud.

We're not the ones commiting the horrors of the world, nor are we the ones able to stop them. It's not our job, duty or obligation to be confronted by them at all times, in all aspects of our lives.

This was the attitude of millions of Americans.

I don’t disagree with you at all, you didn’t do this, you aren’t responsible for it but it’s here nonetheless. My kiddo is recovering from surgery right now, it wasn’t his fault, he didn’t ask for it, but if we didn’t do something about it, he would have had terrible repercussions from it. Did we have to do it, no, we could have just noted it and hoped it would take care of itself. Was it unfair, absolutely. But he’s got meds to take, and even though he didn’t ask for any of this, he’s doing what he needs to to get better.

I’m truly sorry, as someone from one of the places fucking up the world. I too did not ask for this, and I’ve been trying as hard as I can to prevent and now stop this. The horrors will continue, it’s happening in places all across the world, I hope it doesn’t arrive for you.

As a working dad with kids, I like my doorbell cam. My self hosted, non-cloud, local only doorbell cam that is.

My f’ing camera feeds are mine.

I get the feeling, I feel the same way. Somehow though we need to find a way to keep fighting. Honestly, just conversation and awareness helps.

I don’t know how, but ultimately this is on us all to fix, there is no one coming to help. So we just need to keep being diligent, take one more step, show up at one more protest, alter your buying habits, do little things to gum up the system, keep posting, keep arguing, keep holding the fucking line instead of just standing there pointing at it.

America is more than embarrassment, it’s a fucking worldwide disaster and danger. Fuck the news, every last bit of the mainstream media has capitulated or actively participates. Shit like this, Lemmy, mastodon and other human centric spaces, independent and local news sources are where to get your info.

I’m sorry to harp on you, not directed at you, just a little triggered lately. Self fulfilling inaction will get us nowhere.

Honestly, your quick and clear reply is very cathartic. That’s why I prefer Lemmy to my family :).

This is the hardest part. I am trying to let go of my anger as they slowly start to notice and pretend like either no one could have seen this coming, or they were against it all along.

If one single person in my sphere ever just came to me and said “I guess you were right” that would do so much for my mental health. But I need to get past that, and just be happy they finally are coming around.

I am exceptionally bitter seeing some of my formerly maga associates, getting heaps of praise for waking up while the same assholes praising them, were the ones telling me I’m the crazy one. Clearly still have anger to let go of…

You and me both buddy. It sucks seeing all this shit so plainly unfold, only to have what I thought was normal people not just ignore it, but get angry with me for trying to point it out.

People should think about a NASS or Home servers like they do about owning a vehicle.

I wholeheartedly agree. Hell, home server/nas should be more common than cars, I don’t drive every day, but my data is used every minute of every day.

Why it was funny in the first place. I knew I was messing with the best.

I swear on my life this happened to me but I don’t care if you believe me or not.
