Here's how I see it: people have himmed and hawwed around while trump's America turns into a hellscape. Horrible things happening by the second, you can't refresh your news fast enough before another tragedy happens. We keep hearing about protesters in Portland, Chicago, Philadelphia. About people delivering groceries and running errands for people who are afraid to leave their house. I've never seen so many people in my town show up to protest. And I'm so fucking proud of these people.
Then something snaps and people really start showing up, standing outside in 20 below zero to let trump know they don't accept him. And I feel hope for the first time in weeks, months, years.
And someone comes in and says YOU'RE WRONG FOR FEELING GOOD EVERYTHING ISN'T PREFECT SO THEREFORE EVERYTHING IS WRONG THIS PROGRESS MEANS NOTHING STOP FEELING GOOD YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD
So, I get where you're coming from but also fuck you.
Thank you for providing some alternative ideas and thoughtful insight. From one internet person to another, I appreciate your comment during these sensationalist times.
I understand emotions are high on the topic and that's valid.
It's been this way for a long time. 20 years ago I was told I came off as angry in my texts. It took me a sec, but I figured out it's bc i put periods at the end of the last sentence.
I genuinely don't know where to start bc i put it in the back of my mind over a year ago when i joined; i don't remember all the lingo. I never got around to researching answers then and at this point, I don't use it enough to justify time spent.
Like if I have to research how to use it, it's not user friendly imo
Lemmy is like an unintuitive, user-unfriendly reddit. And everyone likes it that way.
I'm not leaving bc i want to support open-source shit, but I'm hoping it gets more user friendly someday.
Look, I'm gunna take the basic decency approach here. I fucking hate the KKK and they deserve no good will, doesn't mean I want to be subjected to violent images, period. Not wanting to see depictions of violence at work or school doesn't make anyone a bad person.
Seems like Trump feels incredibly threatened by someone with "no talent and no skills".
I've never watched this movie, but have seen images from it. I thought this was burt Reynolds this whole time

You have a point. But currently people are doing the right thing. Should we stop? What do you suggest we do about it right now in this moment?
There are SEEMINGLY UNLIMITED reasons to discredit this person and one of them is not 'addict in recovery'.

That sounds like a good plan. See you there

That's very kind of you to say, it's bc I'm exceptional lol no, basic functions like this are okay, but I think to use Lemmy as intended is tougher.

This is 100% my experience as well.
Totoro.
Well-fucking-said
Interesting, thanks!
My partner likes one piece so we have that flag. Is it relevant here? I'm unfamiliar with the one piece universe

Does anyone feel like using "bros" is divisive? Maybe I'm old but "bros" makes me think of frat boys, not a great association. Seems like sabotage.
I love Bernie, but he needs to endorse more people for the next generation. He's not getting younger!
I'm in Iowa, district is a little too personal so I'm leaving that out, but district is reps, state is sens.
At one point I've been told I can't call outside my own representatives. I'm unsure if it's enforced.
I'm hoping maybe there's others like me that will see the list for their own reps and make the call? Wishful thinking.
Dopamine just flooded my brain
