I feel like the middle east is sort of just like, haunted, doomed to eternal conflict by malevolent specters.

(Yes, I know those specters are the military industrial complex, colonialism, ancient civilizations, authoritarian rule, oil and natural gas, sectarian divisions, Israel, religious extremeists oh god maybe it is haunted)

“Turn down for what”

I already have BSKY and am not currently interested in picking up yet another account for something but thank you

Counterpoint, it was already stupid.

I don’t know, I use BSKY.

“Your organization has blocked this action”

I mean this is my work phone, and I’m trying to copy a customer’s phone number from a spreadsheet to the dialer, but thanks man.

The only reason I actually wound up signing up on Lemmy is that there is one “main” instance by appearance, and it lets you participate in others(?). (Lemmy.world)

You don’t need to know any of the more esoteric stuff to get going.

I generously donate my castle composed entirely out of horse shit to you kind sir.

plus if we had as many horses as we did cars we would be living in a horse shit apocalypse.

I’m not confident that this will happen though which is scary.

I don’t know if it’s just where I am in life but I… I just can’t be fucked to do stuff man, I’m too ADHD, depressed, autistic, busy, stressed, whatever I don’t know.

I buy canned tomato sauce from Sam’s Club and meatballs. It’s actually reasonably good sauce, they usually have some decent pasta on offer of some variety. That’s about as much as you can really ask of me at this point in my life.

I’m thinking Nov 4th or something. Like, before a great deal of the votes have been cast, or today even.

I know beyond a certain point his VP would probably just be it

As much as I’d love it for him to stop being a threat to all that is good on this planet in the most final of ways; We’re still in some deep shit even if he were to drop stone dead right this minute between his mob of dickhead supporters, and his running mate.

…Actually I have to go look up what happens if the president elect dies right before he’s elected.

It looks impressive on the surface but if you approach it with any genuine scrutiny it falls apart and you can see that it doesn’t know how to draw for shit.

I find it helpful to chat about a topic sometimes as long as it’s not based on pure facts, You can talk about your feelings with it.
