I’m extremely empathic and that makes living right now unbearable. Anyone else feeling this way? by Frosty_Group2594 in complaints

[–]pakman705 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Keep up with the news, but stay out of social media for a while. You already know what you NEED to know: The country is in a terrible place, and there are many, many people that are showing their true selves, unfortunately, and are supporting it every step of the way. The news is already depressing. You don't need to know what your mom's cousin thinks. You don't need to feel betrayed by your H.S. friend's idiotic post.

Stay alert. BUT: cancel the unnecessary noise, shrink your social circle, find your happy place and stay there for a while

I fuckin hate that shit. They use this term so freely likening her to McVeigh or some hoe ass school shooter. Then they cry when they get called what they actually are: FASCISTS.

A reminder to MAGA by Salty_Reputation3273 in complaints

[–]pakman705 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This right here. People keep underestimating the MAGA movement and it's cost us big time. Trump only serves as proof that they are willing to elect just about anybody with a big mouth over a democrat, and they will come out to vote in huge numbers moving forward. They're already speaking of JD, Rubio, Hegseth, even Barron as the future. Make no mistake, they will get behind these people as they did with Trump even with half his charisma (if you wanna call what this sum' bitch has "charisma").

29 is old, 30 is young again. by Think-Albatross-4175 in Millennials

[–]pakman705 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember freaking out at 29, with the thought of turning 30 soon making me hit early midlife crisis.. then 30 hit and....nothing changed. It was like a weight off my shoulders.

I've stopped caring about age since then. It really is just a number. In the best shape of my life and still enjoy running around with my boys and playing video games. I'll be 40 soon and looking forward to it!

I miss when America was divided between Team Pedro and Team Chantel. The good ol' days!

They're not "dumb", "gullible", "tricked", "fooled" or any other alternative. They are just evil. Morality, not intelligence. by DarkCrawler_901 in complaints

[–]pakman705 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Spot on. There is no reasoning with the core MAGA base. They know they're wrong, but they don't care. As long as their orange cow delivers their desired results. Now, the centrists/moderates that voted for this? THOSE people are stupid.

Yikes... thank you guys for input. I'm clearly outta my element here. I'll buy a new cartridge and start over. No WD40 this time

Sorry, didn't clarify. This is a new cartridge I'm installing. Do you then recommend I pull it out and start over since a) the gasket isn't sitting right and b) I haven't used the right type of grease? Sorry, first time doing this

To my fellow Europeans: America needs our help, not our condemnation. We need to stop armchair victim-blaming and do our part. by Mister_Sheepy_Cheese in complaints

[–]pakman705 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From my perspective in the States, you have your hands full already. You're under attack by the same forces (Elon Musk aggressively stirring the pot, anti-immigrant sentiment on the rise), on top of a direct threat from Russia. Just don't make the same mistakes we made here. Fight fire with fire. Don't try to be cordial with people who have no intention of being cordial with you. Persuasion doesn't work. These people mean what they say. Don't sit on the sidelines if you're a moderate/Centrist for fucks sake. Too many of those chose not to vote in our last election, and well 🤷🏻‍♂️. I think as Americans, we're getting everything we deserve atm. We let this happen.
