Yup. I’ve seen in my own family. Started in November with the anti Nazi talk. Then around Christmas the Biden whataboutisms started: Yeah but Biden is actually doing stuff Trump started so they are both bad. Now I am hearing the same points @alteon made. Anything to keep from doing the right thing and fight fascism bc I have an early meeting, the kids have soccer practice, well I don’t see any of it so its not as bad as the internet makes it sound, blah blah blah.
I’ve been there. Genuinely sucks.
Sit down with them on their new gaming machine and sign them up for Steam or GOG. While they are doing that, slyly buy Steam or GOG credits on your phone and gift them to your buddy. Have your buddy go through the automated recommendations and gently inform your buddy whether a game is worth their time or not. And then watch as they add games to their wishlist thinking that they are going to pay a bunch for it.
I mean, they will eventually. No one in the MPCR escapes spending a fortune on their wishlist.
Yes. But not before cheating. Asked my boss as he was passing by. “How many R’s in ‘strawberry’”, I says to him. He almost answered but caught himself. Then he sort of peered upward, thinking. Then he grinned and said, “nice one, rhsjj.” And then went about his day.
I still don’t know the damned answer.
Dude. It’s been over two hours. How many R’s ARE THERE? Dont leave us hanging.
He would absolutely tell you that he has and he currently is. Despite the realistic scenario which is…duh.
I am stealing this.
ahem Ehkshullee. These little anachronistic memes are fun but devoid of the spirit the originals evoked. Steam Punk was a wonderful mime team who toured with the USO during the Big War. Sadly, Steam Punk Right suffocated to death in a tragic accident when his invisible trunk wouldn’t open.
I lava story about justice being served but I sort of wonder if this is just smoke and mirrors to distract us from more important issues.
Look at all these folks with time to waste. I don’t even read the headlines. I go straight for the first comment, sorta look at it, and then comment. Like this.
First, beat me by 4 hours. B, I knew a guy. Dang it, what was his name…Tom. Military guy. Major or something. Major Tom Something.
This is so lame. Orcas can’t fly in space, this picture doesn’t work. Unless. Yes…unless, these are…space orcas!
Too late. I already have an appointment with my psychiatrist tomorrow. I am going to ask for an increased dosage to my medication. By the way, I can never pronounce complex pharmaceutical ingredients. What are “multivitamin flintstone chewables”? Why cant they ever just give it cool names like Nexium or Syphillis?
Well, someday science is going to make new discoveries and prove this is all wrong. It’s like the coffee thing. Is it good for you or is it bad for you or…it’s just dirty water and we can all go about our lives. Personally, my magic cloud god tells me they put it there to give us light and warmth. And turns it off to save electricity. Which is a good habit if you ask me. Follow my imaginary Hebraic friend and save on your bills.
Better to have seen the sun for what it truly is, even for a moment, and be blind forever. Never seeing the birth of your child. Or your bride/groom on your wedding day. Or your peers’ celebration of your accomplishments. Because you are blind. After staring at the sun for a few seconds. All worth it. *gets up **immediately walks into door frame. Corrects himself. Walks out door like a hero.
Darn. Beat me by a day. Y’all are too fast for me.
Everyone, calm down. I am better than all of you anyway so shoo along. Go somewhere else while I sit here. Majestically. Admiring how brilliant I am in conflict resolution. Veritable peace maker, I is. Why, the UN should call me…hello? Uh. Where’d yall go?
@surph_ninja@lemm.ee Just pointed this out. We already see the horror every day. Aint nothing going to happen.
