People have been voting in US elections for several decades at least, but things just seem to keep getting worse. I think it's clear by now that whatever solves the problem of the United States being a shitty country, it ain't gonna be voting. Like, at this point anyone trying to tell me that voting for president in this election is a thing that matters is just telling me they don't understand politics.

absolutely wild amount of grifting

I don't know why but this really speaks to me as realistic.

There'll be whole ass cults of people who think they are vaporization proof because they're just built different, denying all mortality right until the end

That makes it even worse. Imagine putting in all this effort and taking all this supposed risk to create a new social media platform free of the pitfalls that come with a for profit site like reddit only to slowly adopt the exact same corporate friendly code of conduct while purposefully curating a community of annoying shitheads who are nearly indistinguishable from the horde of cretins on reddit.

If making a new reddit is legitimately the best they can do, then they should absolutely just scuttle the entire project.

Different conditions. Opium was forced on China at gunpoint as a tool of imperialism.

In the US, the criminalization of drugs is to this day used as a tool for police to terrorize marginalized communities and feed the prison slavery industrial complex. The solution to this problem is not going to be comparable to China's.

Also, no matter how much the US tries to restrict opioids, fentanyl will always be the easiest to smuggle and sell because it is synthetic and insanely potent. With more and harsher drug enforcement, all we observe is higher and higher concentrations of deadly fentanyl analogues in the drug supply.

Pyongyang must be prepared to seize South Korean territory in the event of an “emergency,” North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has said.

This doesn't read to me like the DPRK has any plans to take any military action in the near term, Kim is simply reiterating that the DPRK must remain prepared to do so should a big opportunity arise or the US crosses a red line.

Has anyone put together a good timeline of events for October 7th?

I'm still not sure how exactly Hamas managed to get such a huge surprise attack going, nor how they managed to physically transport so many hostages back into Gaza. Did they just tie them up real good and somehow secure them to their paramotors?

Personally, I'm on the "don't be an asshole" side of things when it comes to people with very awful, but ultimately harmless taste in entertainment.

But also enjoying slop is not an identity. If it really hurts your feelings when someone dunks on you for legitimately enjoying Spiderman XXVI: A Megaverse at Home or whatever it was called, then you should probably take a closer look at the unhealthy way you're internalizing your connection to media consumption.

I wouldn't partake in dunking on someone for that, mostly because I kinda get it. I also like to shut my brain off every once in a while and enjoy mindless fast-foodified entertainment slop, but if someone wanted to roast me for it I'd probably laugh at myself with them. (Note: I always pirate that shit, I wouldn't be caught fucking dead paying for it and I will always relentlessly mock pay pigs for being some of the most boot addicted people on this Earth)

I kinda wonder if Zelensky would even listen if the US told him to negotiate a peace deal at this point. I suppose that would heavily depend on whether he's more afraid of being lynched by Banderites or if he's more afraid of whatever consequences the US would realistically dish out for disobeying.

Greetings fellow Hexabear comrades, I've recently come into possession of a large quantity of C4 diverted from the Ukraine war. I'm willing to sell it to you on an incredible discount since I very much sympathize with your woke and very righteous far left liberal agenda. Just promise me you'll use it to finally hit the oil company executives where they live and it's all yours, my friends.

All you need to do is let me know the address of your headquarters where you keep your servers, I'll meet your head administrators there to make the exchange tomorrow afternoon. Actually, I'd like to request the entire Hexabear moderation team attend this meeting as well. I'd love to meet all of my new comrades in arms for our righteous offensive on the American way, I have no doubt that together we will catalyze the revolution!

This was me a couple weeks ago at a family gathering, except with wild transphobic shit instead of wild malthusian shit. One minute they were all sitting in agreement talking about how rich people don't give a shit about any of us, which was so based of them that it surprised me. But the conversation somehow devolved into them saying the most evil shit imaginable when the topic of transgender kids in sports came up. I wanted to speak up so badly, but I'm not financially independent at the moment and I'm already the black sheep of the family, I'm sure it would have only made it worse.

I swear, American boomers are some of the most fucking demented people on this planet. I really want to say its the lead poisoning that made them so vulnerable to this strand of brain worms, but I get the feeling in the back of my mind that explanation is a cope. Please fucking shoot me in the head if I get like this about some other topic when I get old.

Remember that one user whose excuse was something like "I downvote all pinned threads out of principle, that just happens to include the ones about transgender stuff!"

I think they were actually unbanned after complaining only to get themself banned again a week later, permanently that time lmao
