Reddit seems to primarily be an app where dudes go to get advice about feeling sad while another guy is actively banging their wife.

As always, let me know if you need testnet coins. I have a million, but of course only give them out for legitimate testing needs.

Can the increasing politicization of life in America be stopped, or even slowed? To be sure, average Americans do not want this. Most people prefer not to lead overly political lives, beyond perhaps voting once in a while and grumbling about taxes or potholes. Most people prefer to focus on work, family, hobbies, sports, or a million other pursuits instead of politics. We watch the game instead of attending the Tuesday night city council meeting. But increasingly we all feel the pressure, drawing us inexorably into a highly-politicized world which demands we take binary "sides" on Trump, impeachment, abortion, guns, climate change, and far more. This politicization seeps into our jobs, family lives, neighborhoods, places of worship, social interactions, and even our sports and entertainment.

The most salient feature of national politics in 2023 America is its lack of pretenses. The two political Americas, represented by Red and Blue teams, no longer pretend to share a country or any desire to live peaceably together. Much has been made of this cold civil war on both the Left and Right, and much of what has been made is probably over-hyped. Americans, after all, are materially comfortable, soft, addled, diabetic, and rapidly aging; the over-65 population is set to double in the coming decades. Hot civil wars require lots of young men with nothing to lose who are not busy playing Fortnite. But the overall mood of the country is decidedly hostile and suggestive of irreconcilable differences.

Democracy worship is so cringe.

Convo with a normie who IS Salvadoran.

They think that there MUST be some form of authority or people just axt crazy and do stupid things.

My response

So your anwser to the crazy and stupid people is putting those same stupid and crazy people in charge of you and telling you how to live your life?

It was like watching a computer defrag....

Straight silence the only they could respond with was

We think differently, obviously...

I said well theres only one correct way to think

Either youre free or youre a slave there is no inbetween...

Normies dont WANT freedom, they want someone elee to decide their lives for them.

the idea that everything is a psyop is the psyop

Good artists steal. Great artists ask the artist they're stealing from for advice.

it’s very difficult to acknowledge alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine as poisons

the amount of half finished paintings/studies is too damn high and it eats at me and then i cope with that by just starting another piece

There is no such thing as stasis.

It’s a fake concept.

Anytime you find yourself believing something is static you are living in a delusion.
