What a megalomaniac.

Yeah he’s inspired by a system which country banned it and yet he still wants it?

He got away with more murders on the American people than the 9/11 hijackers, at least 120 fold. All because he mishandled, deliberately, an active pandemic. 350,000 lives lost.

And he disregarded advice and the playbook by people like Obama but he didn’t want that because he believed that Obama was inferior to him.

“Keep lying…TO OWN THE LIBS!”

Do these journalists or authors forget what the entire MAGA mantra is?

Anything and everything to “own the libs”.

I think people need to start forgiving themselves in some situations than forgiving others.

I’m in the process of trying to forgive myself for a lot of things, when from experience, forgiving the other person for doing shitty things was seen as just given a pass for them.

Ubuntu has been the sacrificial lamb for this very example. People have praised Ubuntu for years, heralded it as the Linux OS of choice to go to, to tip their toes in from having Windows. But Canonical has been making dumb decision after dumb decision to where Ubuntu has now created a split in community where people prefer Mint.

I just learned today that the concept of timezones was not invented until 1876.

That feels relatively young for something like that, I would’ve thought maybe that would’ve been a little further back.

Or sometimes just find alternatives that suits your needs.

I’m with Tello and I pay $15 a month for 5GB/Unlimited Text-Talk, but it suits my needs. They’re having a cool deal right now for Black Friday where it’s $15 for unlimited data with text/talk for an entire year. The only fees is a few cents for tax.

Retail has toxified any and every holiday experience because every holiday is just “BUY BUY BUY!”

Halloween? “BUY CANDY! JUST BUY IT OH AND BUY CHEAP DECORATIONS AND TAT TOO!” Thanksgiving? “BUY FOOD! BUY LOTS OF FOOD!” X-Mas? “BUY EVERYTHING OR UNLESS YOU’RE A SOULLESS PERSON WHO DOESN’T BUY ANYTHING FOR THOSE YOU LOVE!” Valentine’s Day? “BUY CHOCOLATES! BUY CHEAP TAT!”

And it just cycles through every year. And you get to witness so many idiots that continue falling for the same traps, just by coming into your store every day.

Oh please…you act like everything art-related is strictly funneled through a college system when there’s thousands of artists out there who practice art.

And philosophy is about as good as just trying to prove someone wrong in a fruitless argument on the internet.

Who’re you trying to fool?

I have to disagree with them.

As I’ve been saying, college is not for the undecided or the indecisive. If you do not have a clear and cut career goal in mind and you still go through college, you will find yourself in a world of debt and financial hurt. All for nothing. All for a degree that means nothing because it sounded cool to you.

Do you really need an arts degree? Do you really need a liberal arts degree? Do you really need a philosophy degree?

No to all, that’s just examples.

Not really. It’s kinda like asking what will we ever do if something happens in outer space that’ll mean the end of our earth and all of the combined wealth of rich people can do anything to help it (they’ll hoard it all anyways and think they’ll see their money afterwards).

Things that have a beginning, have an end, that’s life in general. You live it. You do what you can in it, try not to be the most worst individual and whatnot. The sad part of it all is not being able to carry over everything you’ve learned and those you’ve known. Then again, it won’t matter at all in the next life you’ll be in because everyone you’ve known is long gone into their next journey wherever and whomever.

But as for the positive legacy? Well, the only way we’ll ever do that is if we’re in positions of power, have all the wealth or born well-known with unmatched charisma. It’s just a damn shame we live in a timeline where all of that is horribly misused and abused.

I have two aunts, one in the UK and the other about a state away from me. I’ve known them for about 4 years and they’ve been the best aunts I’ve come to know. I used to have a chosen mother but things with her are up in the air after coming to light some very questionable content being shared on her FB that takes jabs at transgenders.

No but there are some people who tend to act holier than thou because they have hundreds to thousands of meaningless points. I find out that they tend to be uptight assholes.

“I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance,” says Morris, who oversees the experience of over 2.1 million employees. “I call it work-life integration. There are times that your life requires a lot more, and there are times that your work requires a lot more. … I don’t think that’s a bad thing.”

Except the reality is, is that there are managers who will and have asked you to “please work another hour” or “can you just stay a little while?” of which I have been actually asked and I always have turned down. I want to go home, I’ve done your stupid 8-hour shift to please a bunch of dumbasses who don’t give a shit about anything we do unless it’s to complain, I’m leaving.

Way to be tone-deaf.

When Morris is visiting family, for example, her main focus is on them. But if there’s something at work that needs her attention, she won’t wait until she’s back in the office to do so. Work-life integration helps her stay on top of her work duties while still showing up for herself and the people she loves, she says.

I hope your family dies while you’re working so you won’t get to say your ‘goodbye’ to them - just like many have had to when they’re too strapped by work to even see much less, talk to family members. Just like people who can’t spend the holidays with loved ones, because they’re having to be at the store working for last-minute ungrateful shoppers. Or how much time a worker misses their children’s firsts because they gotta put food on the table.

“You might be [at your kid’s] soccer game, but you happen to look at a few emails,” Morris says. Maybe you’re chatting with your boss via text while waiting for an appointment, or tying up a few loose ends at work before you put the kids to bed. That doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a workaholic who lacks boundaries — rather, you find ways to combine your personal and professional duties that work for you, instead of being strict and inflexible with your time.

Nobody does this but you. Nobody. Does. This.

It’s simply not worth it anymore. Why the hell do ungrateful and unappreciative people need to be spent highly on anyways? Why do children need to have hundreds spent on them anyways?

Seriously, holiday spending has long been a luxury for the wealthy.

The Hivemind Complexity.

I say that because it is a collective process that exist in a large amount of online communities, Lemmy and the Fediverse being no different. People online are way too used to having thoughts of theirs being parroted. Then comes the constructs of all of these karma systems for people to vote said thoughts of and that creates a level of its own discourse that, people will say or do things for some validity based on that.

And anyone else who comes along that thinks or says different than the seeming majority, are scrutinized, bullied and branded to be moderated.

Everyone is just too used to being around others who agree with them.

That happens to me when I decide to change jobs.

“Don’t need this shitty knowledge anymore”

For me it is just manipulating your natural beauty. Hollywood conditions nearly all women that they must look attractive or risk losing roles that exist only based on attractiveness. So you see actresses like Kate Beckingsale or Lindsay Lohan doing this for some roles.

It’s different than needing to get rid of loose skin from losing a lot of weight.

It’s pretty sad that some of the best, least acclaimed anyways, storytelling was buried into those shows. While everyone else at the time were trying to find them in big-budgeted movie versions and some of the books that got released that ended up being wiped into the ‘Legends’ category by Disney.

It’s a vicious cycle between rabid fans, the creators of the IPs, the outsiders (i.e corporate entities) that have long infected all of them.

I’m tired of reboots, I’m tired of made-up characters that seemingly are shat out from some kid’s imagination but it’s from an actual adult (like difference in the creative department) who only exist just to one-up the already established character. I’m tired of power-level debates that just melts your brain to numbness when trying to even engage in because they all vary wildly. I’m tired of meaningless arguments as to what origin, what canon or whatever is the real timeline of some character because they always change depending on who the hell is writing them.

It’s all gotten entirely tiresome and convoluted.
