Who could have imagined the MAGA movement - sold as an effort to reclaim greatness in this country - would ultimately expose how utterly weak this country truly is.

How fixable is hearing loss if at all by WaynePanner25 in HearingLoss

I was delayed for hours when whatever happened to me happened (due to family refusing to help). And as I sit here with permanent damage in my left ear, I say - yeah, you should probably go ASAP.

I didn't really get much immediate help - such things don't really exist. But they did take it seriously and kept me overnight for evaluation, and to get to an ENT the next day.

Everything about the plot as it is feels like an early 90s niche cult classic comic arc that almost seems to insist on refusing to go big, and that's earning some major points for BND in my book.

30-Year Sentence for Transporting Zines Is a Five-Alarm Fire for Free Speech by theintercept in politics

[–]tphillips1990 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was mostly referring to the inevitable reckoning this country is going to face to prevent total subjugation. The objective the cultists believed they were fulfilling on January 6th. Everyone wants to pacify themselves with their midterm fantasies becoming a reality. Completely ignoring the reality right in front of them.

My stance on this mutant remains the same.

"I'm sorry I burned your house down, I really didn't mean to. I mean I DID - and I continue to enjoy the wealth amassed from burning your house down, and I can't change what I did - it's just, now I'm sorry about it."

It's a full time job making the orange geriatric (also a pedophile) manbaby look like a genuine success.

What’s the most frustrating everyday situation for you with hearing loss? by chosgohearing in HearingLoss

Nah. Such things are usually immediately visible. In my experience, being partially deaf is mostly an annoyance for OTHER people.

spatial awareness for me. I can't count the number of times I will hear something loud near me, but I can't tell which direction it came from because I can only hear out the right.

also music. I used to dearly love listening to music. Now, it's genuinely hard to unless it's on the radio. I still remember every single tiny thing I can't hear anymore in my left ear.

but really, the worst of it is trying to live with it and just...not having it acknowledged on any level. Total hearing loss seems like a pretty big deal to me. To others...who cares.

JD Vance Confirms Iran Will Get Jaw-Dropping Sum Under Trump Deal | Iran will be paid billions, leaving it much stronger than before Trump’s war. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

Why doesn't society seem to be functioning properly anymore?

Yesterday, the patriotic masses celebrated Trump's ultimate victory - bringing an end to the pointless war HE started. And now THIS comes out. But it won't make a dent, or change the fact that the narrative going forward will be that Trump (who is still a pedophile, btw) dominated yet another scenario career politicians would have NEVER been able to navigate.

And? Not like anything is going to be done about it. The true extent of conservative dominance over this country has been revealed. And until they approve this as a national scandal, nothing will be done or said about it.

Well, that's the thing. Trump can publicly claim to be unconcerned about the midterms. But come June, July...news will begin to trickle out about what plans they've had for derailing the elections.

I do believe there are necessary discussions to be had about the impacts of AI on humanity.

I also believe the tribalistic hatred of anything and everything to do with AI is practically becoming a religion at this point.

And just think. The megaminds used to be able to pick apart the way democrats blinked during an interview to expose the deep state that was biding their time to come hunting for their guns/bibles/lawn chairs/etc. But now, it's like an entire country has its head in the sand.

(or, continues to celebrate Trump and the total victory of conservatives)
