This is all just about normalizing poor decisions, right?

Ya. I got Century Club on Reddit based mostly on AdviceAnimals posts that hit front page.

Thing is, if this is “relatable”, then people are nodding along and normalizing it. It’s a classic half-joke. Only not actually funny.

Call me crazy… but maybe find a way to deal with your emotions that doesn’t involve compulsive spending and damaging your marriage?

Onion also got bought out a couple times. The new videos are low effort crap; nothing like the superb clips from 10-15 years ago, which is probably the best satire ever created.

I am. I’m Jewish, and a Berniecrat. Bernie is a caricature if an old Jewish man.

Better yet, offer to help them with their time management. That way, it’s a positive and friendly offer, not an overt criticism. And it jams in a little more condescension.

Do you meditate? If not, start. Do you do a lot of screen-based entertainment? If so, cut back.

It could be that your issue is an innate genetic thing… but these are obvious and proven ways to improve your mental health and performance, and worth trying. Though meditation is difficult and video games are fun, so these aren’t particularly appealing, I know.

Bernie Sanders is obviously a raging anti-Semite.

…and yet, here we are. I left Reddit recently because of the drop in quality, and a lot of folks I know agree that it sucks even if they aren’t yet tapped into the fediverse. The internet still has a lot of friction and inertia. These things take time. But the momentum has shifted. These social media cesspools can’t last, even the most idiotic knuckledraggers will eventually smell the stink.

The downside is that they will find their way here. Lemmy will be bigger and less cool. Eternal September, am I right?

Harry Mack does freestyle raps about his sponsors. I think his bars about Keeps hair medication service and Nord VPN are just as entertaining as the rest of his stuff.

Right. There’s also a huge difference between taking measures that affect birth rates and actively rounding people up and culling them. Eugenics has got to be the most equivocated term in the English language. Except maybe god.

Generally, people that are less educated or with shitty values. It’s not about genetics; it’s about the perpetuation of bad culture. If I were to name some groups that typify this: religious fundies and under-educated rednecks.

Ya… the only problem is WHO is having all the kids.

Because life is and will continue to be pretty good for a lot of people. I definitely think it will be for my kid. Also, Idiocracy. If all the good, thoughtful people take your attitude then every human will be an idiot or asshole, which is an utterly hopeless future. I get that hopelessness. I felt more or less as you do for a while. But there a good, noble reasons to have a family. It’s not so cut and dry.

Arkham?

Silly question: could they evolve the infrastructure to an actual transit system?

Both sides are pretty bad. They are not the same.

… But they sure are quick to attack Biden on that front. Facts be damned

Yeah, this has nothing to do with Biden. That said, it sounds like the rules are not being applied fairly. That said, it’s not like America has fair, consistent policies or anything…
