omg I did that when I had COVmonia last year and many times figured I’d rather just be dead.

I’ve heard many right wing folks complain, because in this country at least (Canada), the right LOVES to brain wash them into believing government should be smaller, socialism is bad, and high taxes are evil (even though when they get in they only give tax breaks to their rich friends).

I, one of seemingly few rational thinking humans left in this country, have always understood, believed, and told those people at every opportunity - “THAT IS WHAT PAYS FOR OUR SERVICES”

I remember before I deleted my FB account one tool on there complaining about an incoming ‘digital services tax’ (i.e. Netflix subs and such), and I quickly skim his wall or whatever, and he was collecting the “oh noes, I lost my job cause covid, please give me money government” benefit we had just like, a year prior - they SERIOUSLY just do not understand they very benefits and services they rely on and complain aren’t big enough or good enough, ARE FUNDED BY THOSE DAMN TAXES.

As infuriating as all that is - it’s even worse to see an entire half of our government fanning the flames of this idiocy, reinforcing it, and teaching them it is right!!

Nice try Facebook.

You seem ill.

This. Just block and move on. jfc some people have issues.

“YOU’RE NOT DOING THINGS THE EXACT WAY I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD BE DOING THINGS, WAH WAH”

Who thinks they’re the centre of the world here exactly?

Edit/P.S. Glad everything worked out - and I not only wouldn’t have answered the door, but wouldn’t have bothered to check the camera after either. It’s always door-to-door bs of one form or another around here … or car thieves.

Take my meaningless upvote!

Mail search is SO BAD - on EVERY DEVICE I make a database on.

I really wish I’d known that before I moved like 15 years of Gmail (and other accounts) over!

SO BAD. smh.

“Movie released in 2024/2025 beats movie released during pandemic at box office”

What makes headlines these days boggles the mind.

I saw 3 just yesterday, and personally I thought it was the worst one so far?! But my now 14 year old son disagreed and thought it was the best one so far. Metacritic seems to agree with him too.

I don’t know, maybe I was having an off day or something. I felt like it was aimed at a slightly younger demographic than the last couple? Like, pre-teen at best? I didn’t get that feeling from the first two.

I know this doesn’t rest in my hands alone.

It does not rest in your hands at all. NO ONE can or will stop ANYTHING until THEY want to. And they have to REALLY want to. Just going to rehab once or twice doesn’t indicate that specifically. I was in rehab with someone who was there because if he didn’t “do something” his work was going to fire him. I don’t think it was his first - I know it wasn’t his last, he was in there again while I was still in aftercare. That was 12 and a half years ago now … I just found out a couple months ago that he died, drinking.

The real kicker is he’d completely reset his life - he’d moved 6 hours away from here - HE WORKED AT A TREATMENT CENTRE - complete “success” story on the outside, but clearly there was some shit going on inside that he wasn’t talking about or dealing with.

We can’t fix other people. All we can do is be there if and when they reach out for help, and hope for the best. It’s sad, but it’s life.

I have a Flag Smashers shirt… go figure, they speak to me.

I was putting it on a couple days ago and I paused and thought about it, and suddenly realized the immensity of the propaganda - the great Captain America destroying the evil socialists who think resources should be shared by everyone, and that nationalism is a barrier to truly having ‘one human family’.

Blew my mind it took me this long. Also made me wonder if they were dug up from long ago comics when America was openly and blatantly monitoring and persecuting socialists and communists (specifically picturing the scenarios and time illustrated in Oppenheimer). Haven’t had a chance to dig in to that part yet, but I will right now!

I said this to my father in 98/99ish when we were already updating to four digits anyway and he told me I was crazy.

We’ll see who has the last laugh.

I’ve been in that same situation, except they refused to serve me at the drive through.

Same. But I was drunk enough and bothered enough by it to go flag down a cab for the sole purpose of going through said drive through.

Holy crap, I forgot this was even a thing … I was awash with memories and feelings as soon as I read the title.

It was M.A.S.H. for me … parents watching reruns, I think, as I’m not that old.

#1 - quitting drinking. I’d have been long dead by now the way I was going. #2 - starting meditation. I’m still not sure how I went 30-someodd years in this body prior with all that noise in my head.

A peanut with a top hat and a monocle selling you other peanuts, to eat.

Same! Wow, that is a bit much :-(

If you have Hue bulbs (and maybe some other now, haven’t looked in a while) Sleep as Android can do that too!

I came to say Sleep as Android as well. Been using it since we were submitting bug reports on Google+ (anyone old enough to remember Google+ ? lol) … absolutely love it.
