fishy

You said that it's liberal narrative, but somehow my liberal media is part of some bubble that reinforces the opposite?

NAFTA required better education to offset the jobs that would dissolve, the area I grew up in did invest in public schools and as a result I'm well educated and earn good money. I'll let you figure out which areas decided education wasn't an important investment.

You also missed me with the whole liberal thing, 100% independent. I've voted conservative, libertarian and liberal but in the past few election cycles a conservative vote equates to a reduction of freedom, rights, and general fucking sanity. Any vote for a conservative is a vote for team Trump at this point, and if you're cool with that; fuck yourself traitor.

This is just so bizarre to me. Like what devilish teat are you suckling to get this narrative? Who's saying this? I consume leftist media and this isn't a message I've taken away at all, like seriously 0%.

This sounds an awful lot like "hey bro I heard what they were saying about you, totally fucked up and you should be so mad!" As in, they're stirring the pot with cherry picked examples and rather than pulling your head out of their ass for a minute to get your bearing you've just inhaled smoke straight out of their buttholes and have fine to the conclusion the world smells like shit.

If it's the economics that have you fucked up, and you're not a 50+ year old furniture maker or coal miner; you've been fucked by the conservatives who've worked with moderate Dems to leave the middle class out to dry while crafting policy that only benefits corporations and the ultra wealthy.

I work in an industry where we use computers all day and this is painfully clear. I grew up with a mouse in my hand, shortcuts are hardwired into my brain. Watching someone right click them slowly move the cursor to copy, then right click and slowly move to paste, then slowly navigate to formulas then click refresh is brutal. It literally takes them 3-4x as long as it takes me to do the same task.

On the bright side, I only work about 20 hours a week and still outperform them, so thanks I guess?

lol my life is great, unlike those movies.

Nah, the new trilogy was just garbage. Not even garbage for Star wars, just bad movies in general. The inconsistent themes and storytelling of the first two left such a shit taste in my mouth I still haven't bothered to watch the third.

I've got a 4 year old, screens are like crack to them. If we don't watch any TV or YouTube all week he tends to forget about it, but watch one ten minute video and there's meltdowns for the next several days because he wants to watch constantly. Adults can't keep their phones out of their hands, and we all know social media is poison.

I can't imagine how neglectful a parent must be to give a 5 year old unrestricted Internet access.

That said, what Ragnarok server are you running or playing on? Been a good few years since I scratched that itch lol.

I think I had a stroke reading this.

From what I'm gathered, you believe no at home DIY mechanic should be changing their own brake pads? It's not complicated, I completed my first pad change when I was 16 with a diagram and instructions a tow truck driver wrote on the back of a takeout menu. I did the sensible thing and tested them before moving and again at low speeds in a parking lot.

I've got an incredibly sensitive nose. If you've used more than one spritz of perfume or cologne I literally can't be in an enclosed space with you. My nose begins to feel like it's burning, my throat tightens, I can only think of how to escape your wretched stink.

IDK why anybody wants to smell like a mix of stale piss, dead flowers and sandalwood.

I'd say you want a human CEO so there's accountability, but I don't know that's even true anymore.

The older generations have almost certainly doomed humanity. We need sweeping environmental reform, a better education system, and to have something to combat rampant consumerism.

You don't need a new car every five years. Your phone's fine. Will festive mugs you use once a year really make your life better?

As I get older I continuously get more mad at the older generations.

That's the thing about the Internet. You can try to spin the story however you want, but it's never truly gone. Push too hard and you'll end up with the Streisand effect.
