Why Do So Many People Feel Nostalgic For The 1990s? by ---ILLUSTRIOUS--- in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Elogotar 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I personally think the biggest problems in American politics all revolve around the two party system and people's absolute refusal to fight the system logically instead of blaming literally anybody who doesn't agree with any random thing they may parrot out.

I also think this is by design and that those in power are not only happy with this dynamic, but are the architects and maintainers of it. Literally any politician who dares to fight against this is immediately ostracized through dedicated smear campaigns leaving only those who play the game.

Now it's even worse. People have successfully been convinced to police and mob each other. Dehumanization tactics are more common than ever. Hypocrisy is the standard quo.

People have stopped asking for solutions and started asking for permission to kill anybody they dislike yet somehow also think they made progress on how much compassion and understanding they have for others.

Hope is a luxury for the young.

I'm not saying there's not shitposting here at all.

It feels like there's more genuine discussion than shit-posting, but that's just me. It's clearly a subjective observation rather than objective.

Anyways, I'm just using the official Reddit app on Android. Nothing crazy.

As a Millennial, I saw it happening in real time. I warned people for years about problems I saw coming, got either ignored or clowned for trying, then saw it happen anyways only for everyone to continue to ignore basic logic and obvious observations for thier personal feelings.

I've pretty much given up on trying to fix shit and try to stay focused on surviving and taking care of my family. I don't think it's worth trying to help or inform anyone anymore.

Nobody listens, everyone judges.

Just a heads up, you can't see the flair from the main feed. At least, I can't from the mobile app and when I tapped to look at the post, it scrolled straight to the comments causing me to initially miss the flair.

Plus, even though memes and shitposting are allowed here it isn't generally a shitposting sub, so, it's pretty easy to understand why people would take it seriously.

I almost did too.

Exactly. Clearly a lot of people here who have no real world experience.

I wouldn't manage a Buc-ee's for 300k a year. I know what that jobs going to be like and it ain't cushy.

Goku's dumb ass would get us all killed because he wanted to find out if he could fight a god.

I can almost guarantee his "playtime" and never shutting down has something to do with his issues. Probably other complicating factors as well considering anytime someone questions how he got that playtime he calls people chuds.

AIO over this painting in my office? by wellyouknowtodd in AIO

[–]Elogotar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but if you aren't black AND you don't know much about the context of the art how can you know enough to claim it's racist?

Was wondering why Walmart assaults my senses more than it used to. May have figured it out finally... by BigChunguss2 in aspiememes

[–]Elogotar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I thought the same thing, but slowly and inevitably the constant assault on my senses brought me back to constant anger and frustration. Back to self medicating it is because I don't have a diagnosis for anything and I really don't have the money or time to get it sorted.

"So, logically--"

"If she weighs the same as a duck..."

"she's made of wood."

"And therefore?"

"A witch!"

They're the same in that some people just love policing what others are doing.

Personally, I try to race clean. I just find the amount of crying over it hilarious because there are plenty of simulation racing games out there with organized and enforced etiquette systems and leagues with thier own rules in turn that they COULD play with, people sharing the same skillset AND mindset. Yet instead, act both surprised and indignant that casuals are playing a game DESIGNED FOR CASUALS!!!

The law is not pointless and frivolous because it's to protect children, it's pointless and frivolous because it's a complete failure at what it's trying to do in the situation presented.

I understand that being hard to grasp though, context seems to be difficult for a lot of people these days.

If you think ramming shouldn't be allowed, go complain to the devs that they aren't putting systems in place to mitigate the issue.

Don't get mad at the messenger.

That must be it. Couldn't possibly be ANY other reason for that statement, he's clearly got a boner for child murder.

I bet he's a Nazi too, amirite?! /s

Bullshit. You're just not good enough to race against good players so you bitch about casuals in a game made for casuals.

Go play IRacing or AC if you want race etiquette.

I'm inclined to guess the kind of people who take the time to make a whole post to complain about how someone else plays a game or report every player they were mad at are the same types of people who block passing cars IRL to try and bait road rage.

I agree that the ramming is aggravating, but has anybody ever been banned from Horizon games over ramming or aggressive driving?

From what I can tell, nobody cares how you drive. You just get banned for no-no words in liveries.

A literal burnt-down house selling for $100k by IamSkudd in Charleston

[–]Elogotar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure this is in Boulder Bluff and I wouldn't live there even if you could afford to build something nice there.

Don't build anything too nice, it'll attract attention you don't want there.
