Pretty much all safety regulations

Every safety rule is written in blood but due to no one getting hurt (because of said rules) people begin to think the rules aren’t necessary.

It’s the same concept with preventative measures like vaccines. Vaccines worked to the point we had an entire generation grow up in a world without the most common forms of debilitating diseases and as a result we now have anti-vaxxers everywhere.

It’s even prevalent in things like the hole in the ozone layer. When it was first discovered EVERYONE was panicking about it. But then we fixed it to the point some people think it was never really a problem at all.

I love that it shows that humans naturally wish to congregate and aid each other.

I hate that it allows the worst types of people to gain influence because humans in general are easily misguided and manipulated.

Brain damage causes conservatism.

We know. It’s pretty obvious.

I’m not trying to fearmonger or anything it just reminded me of it is all. We’re dealing with an actual dictator so it’s not exactly out of the realm of possibilities.

I sense a repeat of may 4th 1970.

Gestures at the current state of America

Mix of both.

I got perma banned for telling someone to crawl back into their hole because they were defending female genital mutilation while saying circumcision was perfectly fine because uncut penises “looked nasty”.

But I can still access all of reddit. I just can’t comment or upvote/downvote anything. And the nsfw instance of lemmy is a shit show of having to constantly block the same content over and over because there’s eleventy billion versions of the same community.

The irony of that is after I threw it I screamed “You have one fucking job! BE a dvd player!”

Had a dvd player that would skip all the time even if it was a brand new dvd. Got pissed off and threw it at the wall. Girlfriend plugged it back in a couple hours later and it never skipped again.

I mean they still have a point.

Claiming Israel doing it is fine while helping Ukraine was a really wild thing to do.

Though I still don’t understand why anyone thought Trump would do anything to stop Israel either.

Have you never heard of an accent before?

The fact that there is no discernable difference between an alive body or a dead body when it comes to chemical makeup.

All the pieces are there. All the atoms and molecules are still in the same places. Yet despite this the body is still dead.

Now you’re gettin it!

No.

No one should want to be me.

If someone wanted to be me I’d feel nothing but pity and shame.

What the fuck is impeachment anymore?

Growing up and learning Nixon resigned because he was impeached and made him look terrible I thought it was career ending. Like they’ll drag you out of the white house career ending.

Now it just feels like telling a toddler “NO!” but with no consequence when they keep going anyway.

It’s gonna be 4 more years of constant headlines like this showing everyone that yes, he is that fucking stupid.

I’ll never get over how people gave me shit for thinking dropping out of the race 4 months before the election to push for kamala was the dumbest fuckin thing any of them could’ve done.

Now we are where we are.

Where are all you jackasses now?

Honestly if you fall for right wing propaganda I consider you a lost cause as a human. It’s really not hard to see through even as a child. If you don’t have the cognitive reasoning to figure it out I don’t trust your day to day decision making.
