Owning things is for boomers, so I hear

Wow, Whateley, your response is a real gem. It’s almost impressive how you manage to dismiss genuine frustration with a wave of condescension. You talk about aspiring to more, yet you seem perfectly content to belittle anyone who dares to express dissatisfaction with the status quo.

Sure, let’s all just line up for our certifications and play the game, right? Because that’s clearly the only way to navigate this late-stage capitalist nightmare. Your approach reeks of complacency, and it’s disappointing to see someone who claims to be part of a progressive movement resort to such tired arguments.

You might want to take a moment to reflect on what it means to truly engage with the issues at hand instead of throwing around insults like confetti. It’s not about being “im14andthisisdeep”; it’s about recognizing that many people are struggling and looking for ways to articulate their pain and aspirations.

So, while you’re busy polishing your stack of certifications, maybe consider that there’s more to life than just playing by the rules set by a system that’s failing so many. Let’s aim for a conversation that’s more about solidarity and less about tearing each other down. Grow up? Maybe you should try it first.

I’m still coasting on my 5 dozen that I bought in The Before Times

While a different customer commented, “My barista wrote “Have a good day!” on my cup. Now I know they did not genuinely want me to have a good day [crying emoji].”

Why do websites do this?

Who are these mystery people who follow Starbucks news and also use a device that doesn’t support Unicode 😭?

The thing I miss most about the old Internet was not having to tag sarcasm, and also the chance that any random forum post could be a goatse.

It’s a cute poster sketching the outline of a better way of viewing economics, not a legally binding document intended to be implemented without reflection.

Because the Internet was smaller and was made up of select demographics.

Now, something that’s completely unacceptable to some of the population won’t even register with the majority.

Isn’t it ironic

It isn’t a race to the bottom.

You’re not going to win moderate people to your side by labeling them Nazis.

It’s a mistake to find the most extreme opinions in a group and use them to label the entire group. Just because outrage and self-righteousness feels good, doesn’t mean it’s actually accomplishing anything.

The kinds of statements, like in the OP, are just a form of public masturbation. You’re just yelling into the void for the pleasure and mental rush.

If your goal is to defeat right-wing nationalists, you need to convince the undecided people and that isn’t happening if you’re just ranting like a crazy person because your brain is addicted to upvotes and outrage.

Online dating be like:

And after 2 years, it’s no longer damp but still tacky

Best I can do is a hollow shell piloted by the most corrupt individuals which only exists to the extent that it channels tax dollars into donors pockets.

• Anyone implementing real security is seen as suspicious and likely criminal and subjected to greater scrutiny by law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

It’s never too late to do the smart thing

Yeah, until I go outside and think my phone is dead

The current moment is like the recent wildfires. All this trash built up over the years and it sort of has to have its time to burn out. Everything just has to find a way to survive it until it runs out of fuel. When the pendulum swings back the other direction, just be ready to rebuild from the natural disaster.

This looks shopped — I can tell from some of the pixels, and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

I’m a big boyfriend, all growed up, I can make hot pocket and peanut butter sandwich.

👍 very based and skibidi reddit-pilled response.
