No, I know I’ll be allowed to vote in the primaries. I also have zero faith that any worthwhile option will be allowed to run. So, vote between worthless option number 1, or worthless option number 2.

On top of all that, I’m still not convinced it’s not rigged from the start. Joe Biden in 2020 wasn’t considered a real option. He was in 5th place and assumed to drop out shortly. Bernie Sanders had a significant lead. Then, in the timespan of 3 days, Biden was far and away the clear cut leader. I’ve not since that day held any faith in the DNC.

Slowly? Uhhhhhhh, been like that since day 1.

I’m sorry for your loss.

And by that, I mean I’m going to steal your cat.

I vote for this guy for president for two reasons.

1. This guy gets it

And 2) Look at my alternatives. We all know trump is going to be the 2028 candidate despite that not being legal. I’m at a point where I don’t even think he’s going to use corruption to change the law. I think he’s just going to run, and nobody will do anything to stop it. As far as the democrats go, I don’t know who they’ll run, but I know they’ll be worthless. Probably Tim Walz or some shit.

So yeah, I got nothing to lose and everything to gain by voting for this random guy who may not even be eligable to run for president due to not being American. But hey, laws won’t exactly be the top priority in the 2028 election anyways.

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh…yeah, how about those epstein lists though?

And you’ll need 1 whole data center to run the emulator.

Weird. I got it for free yesterday. And no, I don’t have PS+

So now I can’t see the price from my playstation anymore, but looking at the price on my pc browser, I see half off.

Wondering if somehow I got a glitch…

When I was sober, I didn’t get it. Now that I’m high, it’s SO obvious!

…I think I may be stupid.

…did you seriously just downvote yourself?

You’re totally right though. My mind went other places. Like sci fi places. But, no, you’re right. I’ve seen this on Lemmy. There’s a community called “The Police Problem”, and they show videos shot in real time as ICE does this. And I guess it would also explain why me being white, but also a child, they’d see me both as a threat, and also needing protection. It would explain the kid shoving me for opening the door, and getting scared.

I’m going with your answer as being canon to my dream. I don’t see any plotholes with that explaination, and it also explains all the weirdness…except for the stairway/MC Etcher stairs, and random new doorway. Pretty sure ICE doesn’t have that kind of technology.

2008? I was lucky during that time period. I had a job, I saw the recession. I still applied to other jobs, but I put up with my shitty job I had, because it was all I had. I’m sure many lives were ruined for those that didn’t have jobs at that time.

The thing that angers me the most is that I said to my mom “I’m never going to have a retirement…”

I’m 42, no house, no retirement savings, no 401k, and no way to save for those things. Some weeks I don’t have enough money to buy food.

My moms response was “Oh you’ll be fine! I struggled when I was in my 20s, with both of your sisters, and I turned out ok!”

Yes, it’s true that for about 5 years my mom had it as hard, maybe harder than I do. The difference is, then she met my dad, moved in with him, her money problems disappeared. She then got a better job, with retirement options, and a 401k, and benefits.

Then she bought her own house in the 90s. The seller wasn’t sure if he wanted to sell to her as a single woman. So she said “you can either sell to me, or sell to someone else. The price is the same either way. You may as well just sell now, rather than waiting for the next buyer.”

THATS the speech that got her the house.

Today, you’d get laughed at.

My biggest problem with boomers isn’t their selfish nature, or the fact that they’ve had an easy life. My biggest problem is that they refuse to admit that times have changed. I CAN’T live life the way boomers did. I’d LOVE to wear a suit, walk into a business, demand to see the manager before I even fill out an application and talk myself into a job. I’d LOVE to do that…but thats not how it works anymore! Now you fill an application out online, submit it to an AI crawler that steals your data, be in competition with 500 other applicants, and most of the time never hear back.

I asked my brother in law 10 years ago if he could get me a job at his fortune 500 company. He works there, he’s not the owner, but I was asking him to put in a good word, get my application even looked at.

He’s my age, and this was said right in front of my mom. He said “I couldn’t do that. That would be nepotism”. I said “Yeah. I’m fine with nepotism if it means I canpay my bills.”

And my mom asked if I wanted her to storm the corporate offices of Progressive Insurance, and hunt down the CEO for an interview.

So I just said yes. Not because I think it would work, but because I knew she’d fail spectacularly. Maybe even get arrested on a light charge. Then maybe she’d realize how times change.

But she just said “I can’t always fight your battles for you. This is something YOU need to do.”

God dammit.

Oh, look at mr brag over here, with his lack of a life long crippling student debt, and his “ability to work 9 whole hours in a single week”.

I’m not mad at you. I’m mad at the system.

Maaaaaaaaan…this sucks. At one point in the 90s I had played every version of tetris released.

I haven’t kept up, but my inner 8 year old is sad. My inner 8 year old wants to play all the tetris, but my outer 42 year old self is keeping my inner 8 year old away from anything trump related.

My inner 8 year old is sad, but I’ll understand when I grow up…wait, how does this work again?

The microplastics are in your balls.

Hadn’t heard of this. I’ll have to look into it, but in general it sounds like he tried to do a good thing. Then people ruined it.

I thought it was like 33 BCE, which counted down to 0, which is when Jesus died…and then waited 2000 years to come back as Y2K, but we stopped that from happening by updating all the computers before they caused the apocalypse. So instead we got hats that counted down to another year.

Then a year and 9 months later 9/11 happened. And nobody cared anymore about bearded arabic guys from the middle east. I can’t speak for other countries, but here in America people went full racist mode. Sept 10th 2001, if you asked an average white guy what they thought of arabs, he’d probably just shrug. Sept 12th? He’s calling for death.

So I guess the real question isn’t whether he was born in 33 BCE, or 7 BCE or 0 AD. The real question is "What the fuck are we even doing on this planet, if it’s nothing more then a revolving door or racism? Who’s going to be the next target? Black people? The Irish? Mexicans? Jews? Arabs? The Dutch? Oh who can keep up anymore…It’s all one big pile of “FUCK ALL OF THIS SHIT!!!”

Always another day. Always another group to hate. Never an answer to the question “Why can’t we all just get along on a planet together?”

Can someone just shoot me in the head? This planet’s save file has become corrupt, and I no longer wish to be on this planet.

And how do you think AI is interacted with? On what device?

Thats when they make a pornhub category about you…Help me Batman! I’m stuck in the washing machine!
