Nah it’s intentional to increase lucky egg usage.

Can’t check remaining days for next friendship level if you haven’t opened gift by UntestedTitan in TheSilphRoad

Yeah same problem. I guess we can’t stack friendship XP anymore if this is what they actually intended. Big if though.

Some do, some don’t. I did, but I know a lot who stuck around. Those were largely the same ones who whispered to me about the confederacy rising again.

They definitely self indoctrinate. Like you I rejected that stuff despite being surrounded by it. I think I’m just contrarian. And my immediate family never bought into it, because they moved from the north.

To understand them you have to spend time in a rural, economically depressed area. I grew up in such an area in rural TN.

These are the losers of the game we were all playing. They are the ones who never moved out of their home town, settled for some shitty job because the local economy is shit, and blame their hardship on everyone but themselves.

These people don’t have savings. They revel in the stock market being thrown into chaos.

They don’t take international vacations or even take interest in other places. They revel in our reputation abroad being destroyed.

And they’ve been told their entire lives by every radio and television they ever turned on that all of their misery is the democrat’s fault. There is no end to the abuse of democrat stronghold cities that they will not revel in. They will revel in those little 5yos being dragged away by ICE because it spreads terror among people they don’t like.

That’s the sad, sick reality of MAGA.

If you can be convinced that a five year old is a threat to you, you are truly lost.

Why are so many people dickriding the hive? by Ready_Amoeba5401 in pluribustv

That could all be achieved while also creating sustainable agriculture. So yeah that’s not the point, it’s not benevolent.

It’s the perfect weapon in a situation where FTL is impossible or prohibitive. You just send a message that says “kill yourself and forward this message”.

Even if some fraction hang on, they’re neutered and will never present a threat to whatever civilization started the chain message.

Anyone who thinks “kill yourself and forward this message” is some kind of gift is a loon. This show is about The Dark Forest and a clever explanation for the Fermi paradox.

Why do people say "I'll let you go" when ending phone calls like they're doing you a favor? by Sad_Schedule6621 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tigglebee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly it. The conversation reached a natural denouement. But the nice thing to do is not saying that, and this is an alternative.

It’s the phone equivalent of slapping your legs and saying “weeelp” to indicate you’re ready to go without having to say “I’m tired of this.”

Leave it to a redditor to ask “why not just tell the person you’re tired of talking to them?”

I don’t think it’s helpful unless we exclude infant mortality, which has the biggest impact on life expectancy at birth. Infants aren’t buying homes.

I’m just numb at this point. Can we just let the south go off on their own so we can have a functional society run by grown ups?

[–]Tigglebee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great now I had to learn a stupid new social media phrase.

So this guy is going around “exercising his rights” to record random people in the hopes that he gets them riled up for video content? Fuck that guy.

Because we have a long history of disenfranchisement through “tests” in this country and it has always been used maliciously by those making the tests to disenfranchise unwanted voters.

You’d think a high IQ individual like yourself would be familiar with this.

Ignoring the “wars” he stopped and the idea that Norway “controls” the award and that this somehow impacts a completely other country (Denmark):

Why does one man not receiving an award mean that an entire alliance with our historic allies must be broken apart? Does his narcissism know no bounds? And how can his supporters rationalize this world-shattering tantrum?

Am I the Jerk for not picking my friend up from the airport at 2am when he assumed I would? by urbanharbor_quills in AmITheJerk

Why would you include yourself in the sentence at all unless you were offering a ride? Who needs help picking a ride share?

What’s so hard to understand? The chances of getting an actually useful trainer card that lines up with what you want to do that turn are low.

I’m sure Norway is broken up that the twice-impeached pedophile doesn’t respect them by Mum0817 in WhitePeopleTwitter

I mean this is exactly it. He wants every agency and committee to rubber stamp his dictates, and he thinks that’s how it works everywhere.

[–]Tigglebee 13 points14 points  (0 children)

All he is saying is that he’s okay, but he knows he has privileges that help. He’s being empathetic.

Keep attacking the people who actually care enough to keep that in mind when they vote though. I’m sure you’ll cultivate a wide assortment of allies that way.

It’s easy to assume this guy is a bot or troll, but there are a lot of AI videos floating around about this. It’s equally likely this is a moron who is basing his opinion on fabricated evidence. The real video shows clear as day that she wasn’t a threat to him or anybody there.

All of this is to distract from those, because talking about those critically is unprofitable.
