"Don't look up"

If president Trump said so, that's good enough for me!

Considering Australia was historically Britain's prison, this checks out

It's just empty rhetoric to try to garner some kind of support from radicalists. It's a power grab among right wingers who have nothing left to latch onto except hatred for an unknown, undefinable enemy.

"Extinguish the left" is not really an attainable goal, just like no one can define "woke", it's whatever you want it to be. Just like fighting "terror" all over the world was stupid, fighting a "war" on drugs, it isn't possible to "win" because it has no definable goal posts.

Yet it's dangerous talk because it means people will freak out and start attacking everyone they don't like. Crazy people will go on a shooting spree, thoughts and prayers all around but nothing will change and we're right back to where we started.

Those that eat this up are disenfranchised, angry at something completely different that's happened to them in life and they're taking that frustration out on people that don't even affect them because the manifestation of their frustration onto a person is easier for them to understand

Because no lifers have taken it over already. Trolls, influencers and everything in between was always going to be the first to adopt it because they have the time to do it. Just cut all that crap out of your life, you don't need it

Stop. Feeding. The. Troll!

Stop using that trash, it's just a black hole of noise anyway

What's to say they still won't do this, considering now Wagner are all branded traitors? Prigozhin should have known better, it was always going to be a one way street he wins or he dies

Don't see it mentioned yet, it's an older game but Remember Me is pretty good

So the pandemic time was weird for me too but in a different way. I was fine, the entire time I was fine I never got sick, got paid plenty from the government stimulus while I was furloughed and once back to work I got a big raise, more responsibility etc. However I think it made me depressed and I didn't know it.

I'm a high functioning person, see me on the street any time and I'll tell you I'm fine, because I am fine compared to those less fortunate but mentally I might not be and I couldn't tell you why. Looking back now I can see it, I gained a ton on weight, drank a LOT more than normal and wasn't interested in what I normally was. Sometimes I'd just sit and listen to music and cry. Every day I'd watch the news, people died, bodies piled up, people yelled and screamed COVID wasn't real, more bodies. I couldn't do anything outside and I'm generally fine with that (introvert) but... nothing outside ever, no events, not seeing friends or family, worrying every time I'd go to grocery store I might get sick, that did have an impact.

How can we make sense of pandemic times? Reflect I think. What did you like, what worked, what didn't, more importantly, why? Then you can reverse engineer it and go after what you find works best for you. It's a big crowded world we live in and we all have to find our place in it.

I think... I've learned I need to care for myself more and worry about other people less. I need to listen to my body and my mental state and I need to put more effort in where it matters most. Maybe that means completely changing my life, moving, switching careers, who knows? I do know my happiness can't just be reactive, it takes work, a proactive approach

That's really nothing. I think reddit will gladly trade 10% for more power over the platform. Those people will probably all go back in a few weeks anyway

Unpopular opinion: I think it's a good idea. Fediverse needs two things right now, content and a solid and easy to use UI. Without those it'll never pull people over from the already established communities. So temporarily I think yes more content is good even if it's copied over
