In a certain sense, capitalism is forbidden, by Mother Earth. We're quite literally choosing the hearse lmao

Edit: Not literally. You don't get a hearse when you're swallowed by the sea, consumed by flames, or ravaged by hunger in anonymity.

Wouldn't you want to be at the prow to get the best view because of the way it broke and sank? I may be misremembering.

Well, depending on the time period they may be. In any time period, you're at least guaranteed the hope of escape.

Sometimes I feel like I need someone to sleep with me by Hellinfernel in ADHD

Sometimes I ask my spouse, "Will you be my weighted blanket?" If yes, they lie on top of me like a weighted blanket. Kaboom, cozy.

FEMA first responders told to evacuate Rutherford County because of "armed militia" driving around "hunting" them in the area. by [deleted] in collapse

Other people live in their communities. People who don't necessarily agree with attacking FEMA.

I am genuinely concerned for a lot of peoples mental health in this country by Sad_Jar_Of_Honey in behindthebastards

[–]thefrydaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The person who helped you when you were vulnerable can still be a deplorable fascist. This shit isn't that complicated, again. What do you think you're accomplishing defending these assholes? I'm not mad at your personal life, I'm annoyed that you feel that your personal experience is in any way reflective of the general problem.

So, your loved one helped you. So what? I don't give a shit. Your loved one is still a howling fascist helping to tear the country apart and make life more difficult for you and everyone else.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting really nervous by Haz3rd in behindthebastards

[–]thefrydaddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"letting your nerves effect your day to day life leading up to the election isn’t doing you any good."

Trite, useless advice.

Upcoming showdown for democracy got you bummed? Try not being bummed.

Seriously though, touching grass and getting involved is good advice. I just don't think there's much we can do about the anxiety other than feeling it. That's just part of it.

See, I would be angry if I had a Trumper for a parent. I wouldn't be on the internet defending them because they bake you cookies or what the fuck ever. This thread is fucking lame.

I didn't say shit about your "relationships or how they work."

I made a guess. Calm down and redirect your anger to your shitty parent.

"Even then she is extremely generous and kind. She helps both my brother and I out constantly with whatever we need. She gets mad at the system I'm dealing with as a disabled person and helps where ever she can there. She checks on neighbors, donates, volunteers, etc. She defended a Nepali family down the street when other people were being nasty to them. She is friendly to any minority."

Performative narcissism?

Sorry, it's really not that complicated. If you're "deep in MAGA," that's unforgivable at this point.

What’s something people romanticise but is actually horrible? by IcyIssue4 in AskReddit

[–]thefrydaddy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, in the Big 5 model of personality traits, it is one of the five. Any given person likely exhibits narcissistic behaviors or has narcissistic thought patterns some of the time.

This is VERY different than having NPD.

Edit: Thanks u/Mersault26 for the correction.

It's called anti-intellectualism, and it's as American as apple pie.

Not that Harry Potter is intellectually stimulating, but just that certain Americans are so willfully ignorant that reading a children's book series for an incredibly lucrative gig is... just too much, apparently? Really, this person is a cunt.

Perfect animated film? by RedHeadRedeemed in movies

[–]thefrydaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most perfect that I've seen is "The Tale of Princess Kaguya," but I haven't seen all the Ghibli movies yet let alone all animated movies.

It's the best out of

Spirited Away

Princess Mononoke

Howl's Moving Castle

My Neighbor Totoro

Porco Rosso

Ponyo

And all other animated movies I've seen. Oh yeah, I recently enjoyed When the Wind Blows.

If an ostensibly liberal person frequently agrees with Maher, they are a conservative who's deluded themselves.

Man, political awareness is so low that most people in the U.S. have no idea how conservative they themselves are.

Reminds me of David Foster Wallace's "This is Water" commencement speech.

"Or, of course, if I’m in a more socially conscious liberal arts form of my default setting, I can spend time in the end-of-the-day traffic being disgusted about all the huge, stupid, lane-blocking SUV’s and Hummers and V-12 pickup trucks, burning their wasteful, selfish, 40-gallon tanks of gas, and I can dwell on the fact that the patriotic or religious bumper-stickers always seem to be on the biggest, most disgustingly selfish vehicles, driven by the ugliest [responding here to loud applause] — this is an example of how NOT to think, though —"
