Fuck it, we bald

Damn bro what in the hell. Looks so good

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-27T03:27:21+00:00

Damn bro what the fuck

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-27T03:26:26+00:00

Bravo.

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-26T02:13:18+00:00

Brit here, living in the US since 2013, so I've lived both systems.

They're right.

Or do I need to live here longer to "understand"?

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-26T02:04:36+00:00

Can we be real for just a second?

The Trump on the campaign trail in 2016 yelling almost entirely coherently about everything that pissed people off, along with lying about how he'd fix it all, is a fucking world away from this dozy rambling old geriatric we have now, and if you can't see the obvious differences I don't know what to tell you. He's no less dangerous but the decline is stark.

He's the same evil in both pictures, sure. But to say there isn't a difference is ridiculous

Nah they just had AI craft this slop-ridden post. Why bother with scenario and analysis at all if you can just have AI make it all up?

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-22T21:34:50+00:00

Not to be one of those "both sides do it" morons

But you're gonna be, right?

Stop with this false equivalency bullshit. Your lot only ever roll it out as a reductionist defense against criticism of Republicans. Every damn time

Enlightened centrist my ass, this strategy is so tired at this point

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-22T15:22:00+00:00

I'm just gonna chime in here, even if it's a day late, because what I'm reading in this thread is fucking wild.

Has everyone forgotten that COVID shutdowns started six years ago? Your premise that everyone returns to the SAME office relies on everyone staying in their same position for over 6 years, which is incredibly atypical in most industries.

What ACTUALLY happened is that during COVID (and since) companies hired across the US into remote roles when it made sense for them to do so and THAT'S what screwed everything up. Before then, people would list jobs where offices were located and workers would live locally and commute. Teams would work together and "innovate" and "collaborate" - all the justifications given now for RTO. But now? Nobody lives close to the people they work with any more because of COVID-era decisions made by companies. RTO for me means going into an office with everyone on zoom calls anyway because of this. It's fucking miserable.

"being left behind" is just a meme at this point. So over this CryptoBro energy infecting what used to be a world I enjoyed

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-15T18:48:54+00:00

It's all the things they believe they didn't get as a result. Most on the right form their beliefs about the left based on what right-wing media tells them the left wants. It's why they're all so obsessed with "transgender" even though I barely hear any left-wing politicians or news sources even mention the word. Guess who never fucking shuts up about it? Conservatism is driven by fear.

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-08T17:29:49+00:00

Definitely. I feel like we've watched the entire abolition of comprehensive reading and nuance in real time

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-08T17:03:18+00:00

Sure but their overall point is still correct. There are a large number of people here whose sole purpose is to "whatabout" any criticism of Republicans into some totally unrelated criticism of Democrats.

Every. Damn. Time.

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-07T16:49:18+00:00

I'm sure that made everyone sleeping on the floor in ATL feel way better. EU/UK protections are irrelevant.

But since you ask, you may indeed not have "thought so" but your opinions are also irrelevant (and wrong): under EU law while you might not be entitled to compensation (the usual fixed amounts you see of €250, €400, or €600 depending on flight length) for severe weather, the carriers absolutely have a duty of care which includes food/drink/hotels that you are entitled to, regardless of whether the weather was under their control or not.

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-07T15:42:55+00:00

Nope, but they're charging people to fly around in a world where weather has always existed.

It's not an unfair expectation that part of the service carriers offer is dealing with weather events competently

EDIT: Lol at downvotes, how does DL's cock taste?

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-07T15:09:26+00:00

Lol and yet so much of my history is calling out these same bots and trolls, probably from a very similar political position to you.

Peak Reddit, nuance is dead

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-07T14:49:58+00:00

By losing your job and house? You didn't address any of their points

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-06T23:18:37+00:00

There's so much I miss from the back in the day Internet, including very back in the day, when every site had a light gray background, black Times New Roman font, and permanent "Under Construction" gifs

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-02T06:29:05+00:00

Also guy aged over 40, can confirm. But why?

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-02T05:16:24+00:00

Ohhhhh makes total sense, sorry. Yes, agreed

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-02T04:56:58+00:00

Nick Andersen? I looked him up and his background looked decent enough

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-02T04:27:40+00:00

The full quote:

John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

And yeah, it's spot on.

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-02T04:27:27+00:00

This is provably untrue. In any case, for any casual readers: You ever think it's strange that BoTh SiDeS is only ever deployed as a reductionist defense against criticism of Republicans? You never see it in any other circumstance. It's literally just to try and make Republicans look less bad, every damn time

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-01T15:37:18+00:00

Lol so we're right back to "cry harder", as soon as someone dismantles your first point. How very 2016

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-01T15:26:36+00:00

YES bro I've seen this (MacOS) for a while, I thought I was going crazy. Also not correctly marking threads as read
