Hey dont worry, a few times a year you get to look at clouds coming in, the wind pick up alarmingly and get to experience "Am I going to have a house in 3 hours?" Anxiety.
Im 40 and married now... remember how nervous tou were just trying to talk to someone you had a crush on? That level of "Powerline up the ass" intensity of feelings?
Yeah these days, firstly if I'm ever single again shit has gone seriously sideways... But I could without a sense of trepidation walk up to Charlize Theron in a coffee shop, tell her how amazing she was in Aeon flux, ask her how she got involved in executive producing Hyperdrive for netflix and then ask her if she would like to grab dinner sometime. Because these days you have to really go some lengths to get a rise out of me.
Even facebooks gotten way worse of late, no matter how much I block, hide and say "Show me less of this content" every day or so its like "are you SURE you dont want to see jokes about how woke culture is to blame for everything?"
And Ive been saying this for about a decade but I kept getting told that they are idiots and man-children and couldnt possibly be caipable of something that complex.
Women who are 50% of the US population had the opportunity to vote for the first black woman president, protect their reproductive rights and instead 53% of the women who did turn up voted for the pussy grabbing rapist.
Maybe you should deal with the traitors in your own house.
That "Fucking moron" just dismantled democracy and installed himself in one of the 5 most powerful seats on earth... but you keep underestimating him on Lemmy and see how that works out for you.
RESPECT YOUR OPPONENT. Even if you cant stand the cheeto colored rat bastard.
Ive been saying for a while that the constant barage of Trump and Elon memes makes us think they are significantly less caipable than they are. What are the odds that the commander in cheif of the worlds most powerful military and leader of one of the worlds superpowers AND the worlds richest man, owner of one of the worlds most popular social media platforms BOTH got there by bumblefucking their way to the top? Either "they are smarter and more caipable than we give them credit for by a wide margin" or "We couldnt stop two fucking morons when they told us their plan"... Imagine losing control of American democracy to Pinky and the Brain if it was two Pinkys.
Id say 20% of the time at work when someone calls its usually someone trying to do a sketchy end-run around the rules or get access to something they shouldnt have and they dont want it documented that they asked.
