    This is so crazy because everytime they need a distraction, they pivot to “LOOK GUYS ALIENS MIGHT POSSIBLY ACTUALLY EXIST!!”

    It is just so blatantly obvious that it’s a distraction tactic. Even if aliens did exist, I highly doubt that fact would change the course of the country significantly because we can’t even have the right wing agree on objective reality except for rising gas prices.













  • There are usually two answers to this. The first is what everyone else is already saying. Social media is a highlight real of your life. Authenticity died in the 2000s, or rather what remained of it on the internet.

    The second is that good things happen to bad people. This has something to do with bad people having higher self efficacy and/or delusion of themselves, their skills, and how the world views them.

    I believe it’s more the former, but even if the latter were true, it has no bearing on your life. I feel your anguish, and I can definitely personally relate. Retake and reclaim your life, your space, and your energy. Your shitter of a friend definitely won’t stop living hers, for better or for worse. Why should you let what she does have any bearing on your own life?

    I don’t mean to be calloused. I am speaking only from the point on how I cope with these situations.
