not to sound corny, but becoming self aware of who I am a couple of years ago and identifying the best path forward. since then, my life has been so much better.

its really hard to admit to yourself what your faults are, but once you do, the next steps should work on how to fix the problem and not beat yourself up over it. I’m not exagerating when I say I’ve never been happier.

man, I get it. but it just brings me down when I try to talk to these people. I’ll reconnect after awhile, but now? idk…

how disgusting for people to celebrate others misery. makes it really easy to understand who is on your side and who is not though, I’ve decided enough is enough and began the process of cutting these people out of my lives.

short term, it sucks right now. but I know down the line, I will thank myself for doing this now

I think this is the sanest thing that has been said in the last couple of hours. I’m still recovering from the trump speech from yesterday, so not totally sure.

I agree with everything you’re saying. Maybe since its so in-our-faces now, things will maybe change? time will tell.

yeah, but that’s the societal trap. who cares what other people think if you know you’re doing the right thing by taking care of people who take care of you?

lol I see what you are saying, but I think you’re being critical of the artistic liberties taken when drawing this

the blue donkey is the DNC, a caricature of how the democrats are represented. its similar to how the republican party is depicted as an elephants.

I don’t see anything racist about this, wouldn’t think too deeply about how its drawn

hey, this is great!! what’s your credit card number

idk, I think words eventually take new meaning. no need to bring propaganda into this imo

hmm, looking up the word on Wikipedia shows how the word Luddite now means what the comic is depicting:

Nowadays, the term “Luddite” often is used to describe someone who is opposed or resistant to new technologies.

In 1956, during a British Parliamentary debate, a Labour spokesman said that “organised workers were by no means wedded to a ‘Luddite Philosophy’.” By 2006, the term neo-Luddism had emerged to describe opposition to many forms of technology. According to a manifesto drawn up by the Second Luddite Congress (April 1996; Barnesville, Ohio), neo-Luddism is “a leaderless movement of passive resistance to consumerism and the increasingly bizarre and frightening technologies of the Computer Age”.

yes, it is irrational to generalize a group of people. I didn’t do anything

hey, let me join in too!

hahahahahaha

hey! do you think they’ll show anything regarding a siege 2 on Sunday? its the only game I’ve played religiously since the alpha and I’m hoping they at least do a facelift of the graphics, lol

I feel like I do this but definitely need to take a step back and see if I can reel my passion in a bit… 😮‍💨

thanks for the advice, have a great weekend!

how do we combat ignorance in our personal lives? I am looking for suggestions

if this were to actually happen, I’m positive some people still wouldn’t get it

I believe money is, and always will be, the source of the majority of our societal problems.

until we figure out how to manage it in a way that benefits everyone, history will continue to repeat.

true

getting the fediverse into the mainstream should be our focus, a single entity will not be able to silence anyone
