We’re pretty conditioned to obey. Like, you can be a rebel and insult people or be racist or sexist or “anti-social,” but you go to work and pay your bills. We’re also, mostly, in debt up to our eyeballs the stress of which gives a powerful myopia. Average Americans are way poorer than tv would have you think.

Thirty percent of the population doesn’t even bother to vote as they’ve basically given up, maybe for one of the reasons above or maybe because the government has little to do with day to day life, or maybe something else.

Didn’t that happen to Brittany Murphy (90s actress), then her boyfriend/husband shortly thereafter?

So strange.

Delightful

Fucking Georgia

Are the aliens going to rape and enslave?

Yeah, so was second world because of Russia or because of communism? We need to redraw some stuff. Maybe use something other than number ranking for our definitions. I think we’re ultimately too attached to calling countries with brown people third, but this is a fight I can get behind.

I wonder if years of fleeing the front page to niche subs conditioned us all to try and make niche subs here when we should just be shooting the breeze right here on front street.

It feels so alien to actually put a run on sentence idea out and not parrot a meme.

That said I made some shit posts on one of the nichest of niche communities.
