You could have posted it like a year ago and it would have been appropriate.

My funniest prediction I've had since like 2 years ago was that Trump wins the election, Biden dies like a day later getting Harris sworn in as a lame duck....and then Trump dies 2 weeks before taking office and JD vance becomes president.

...I feel like we don't live in that timeline though. As of right now I think Harris just clinches it with the popular vote and the EC...then we spend the next few months litigating it both publicly and in various courts. Would be wild if the supreme court pulled a 2000 thing again...but I feel like that probably won't happen.

I've already seen conservative memes about how they removed the lead in gasoline and house paint because the lead is what protected us from their radiation (I'm assuming that's how they spread wokeism).

Guaranteed if there aren't already: there will be people who start selling lead additives so you can start mixing them into the paint and gas yourself within the next 4 years.

Still lives rent free in my head

Cowards disable your trigger button. Auteurs let you create time paradoxes!

Damnit...should have just wrote in PSL. I'LL try to be better next time. Will y'all forgive me?

I got some really bad news for you about building socialism...

I have a 9 year old I have 50/50 custody with. We don't do much youtube, if any, in our house but his mom is extremely Laissez-faire with electronic devices so I think he's basically freebasing youtube over there.

Both logistically and ethically you can't really keep your kid in a perfect bubble and its unavoidable they're going to get exposed to stuff like this so unironically: do talk to your kids about it. Especially with the future of AI: I believe Media literacy is going to be INSANELY important to start grasping as soon as possible. My partner and I have used Mr. Beast as a starting point to have conversations about how people can be playing themselves as a character or presenting things as reality even though they're scripted. We've also used it to engage in conversations about how liking/enjoying certain content isn't a value judgement on the people creating it and how we all enjoy things written and created by people who weren't super great humans. I encourage checking out "making of" docs also. He's 9 so I can't say how well this all plays out long term...but I have observed him noticing recurring tropes in some of his media so I feel like there's something to it.

1. You can probably count on one hand how many female characters in fighting games there are who AREN'T highly sexualized.
2. A lot of people enjoy a character's playstyle irrespective of their aesthetic design and/or only like playing them because they're top tier. Not me mind you: I main Jamie in SF6 both because Drunken Fist is cool as shit and also cause he's a complete Sex pot...but not everybody is a character loyalist.

"Reddit Atheism" is Atheism with debate bro characteristics. Its what happens when you try to substitute not believing in god for an actual personality. Also its largely undergirded with un self-aware (sometimes self-aware) western and white supremacy. They are more interested in being abrasive and irreverent than actually learning/understanding any sort of greater truths or why people believe them.

I think he's saying the picture is real, but that the context/story might be fake. Ie: they put teddy bears on the thing but the teddy bears don't necessarily come from Palestinian kids.

Still pretty deranged...but not comic book villain levels of evil.

Right now it’s Harris vs Trump neither of those options offer any help to those suffering. I’m wondering what I’m not being convinced of.

If this is the limits of what the system can offer or even tolerate: then the system should be destroyed.
