I’m not sure I understand where you are going with that. Performative? Exhausting? The hell are you trying to say?
- Comment on ‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnout 2 days ago:
My lord the amount of “I have a REAL job” in here is too damn high. I work 8 hours a night, 40+ hours a week, in an automotive plant. My job can be very stressful, and physically demanding. So what?
I don’t sit here and whine about people that stare at their screens all day. Are they really doing any work? After all, they are not performing physical labor.
How is it that different for people who create content? I’d argue that they do more work, as they have to set up, film, edit and market their work.
See how silly this sounds? A job is a job. Unless you own your own business, you are making money for someone else.

My lord, you need to touch some grass. “White cracker” really? That has to be the lamest insult one could hurl at someone. “Ukrainian cucks”? Come on, try harder.

So when a sovereign nation can no longer defend itself from a more powerful one, they should cede their lands and resources? That ridiculous.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
Yeah miss me with that shit. The Ukrainians deserve the right to not be invaded by any other nation. Fuck off with that imperial bullshit. They certainly had their own internal struggles. But that does not give the Russians any sort of mandate to invade, bomb and maim them. Fuck that. Russia is no better than the west. East vs west is about as stupid as it gets.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
I stand with Ukraine. Why should they give up their sovereign land to an invader? I’d say the say damn thing if it was the US as the aggressor.
Russia invaded Ukraine, unprovoked, and you call for Ukraine to give up its land? That’s absurd.
It is absolutely possible to care about more than one thing at a time.

I’ll be staying home this year. There is nothing to celebrate. At this point I’d rather watch it all burn down.

Just leave this poor guy alone. You cheated. Move on, grow as a person, and don’t disrespect someone’s trust like that again. He’ll never fully be able to trust you again. You are getting the same responses every time you post about this shit. If you are looking for absolution, you’ll likely not find it here.
Perhaps Ashley Madison has a lemmy instance where you can discuss this with fellow cheaters.

Oh I never said it would happen. It will never happen.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 2 weeks ago:
I don’t see how that is naive at all. We prop Israel up. If the president calls Bibi and threatens to stop all aid, unless they imposed a ceasefire, it would happen. They have so much power, tech and weaponry because we give it to them. If we pointed the barrel of the most powerful military on earth at them, they would cease immediately.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 2 weeks ago:
It would take one phone call from the President, and the genocide would stop. Biden could have done it, and Trump still can. I don’t see the US governments unwavering support of Israel ever ending.

Many of us are looking on in horror of what is happening. There is nothing we can do, lest we too be jailed, or worse, killed by the gestapo. Just waiting for them to come for me next. I really need to get a passport.
Just giving a bit of perspective. Fuck the United States.
- Comment on Do people confuse your nationality? 4 weeks ago:
Where do you think I’m from? I’m definitely from a country very close to what you have guessed!
Kidding aside, I’m from Michigan in the US. These Uber trips were from the town I was born in. I have no idea why I pronounce certain words the way I do. It certainly is not the way anyone else I’ve known speaks. Pretty odd, right?

- Comment on Do people confuse your nationality? 4 weeks ago:
When I was an Uber driver, like 10ish years ago, people would ask if I was from the US (I live in the US) often. Apparently the way I pronounce some things can come across as having an accent, which I don’t see. I think the only thing I pronounce differently is dollar; doh-llar. Why? I have no idea. At first I’d be like “nope, born and raised in this city”, but after a while I would lean into it, for fun. I’d ask “where do you think I’m from?”, and then respond with a country that is adjacent to their guess. It was always Eastern European, which I do have some distant lineage, but far far removed. I would then follow it up with the “just kidding, born and raised here” and we’d all have a good laugh. 🤷🏻♀️
- Comment on why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't? 5 weeks ago:
Chiropractic was literally invented by a man who didn’t feel like he needed to go to medical school. It is not based in science. This is not some new misinformation campaign. It has been well known, since the inception of it. Do some research on it if you don’t believe me. It’s quackery. It’s nice that it seems to have helped you. But again, not science.

It’s not creepy. But I could not imagine dating someone who is close in age to my adult children. It’s weird.

You really shouldn’t comment on the content of a video that you purposely have not watched. It comes across as smug and ignorant. Veritasium videos are well researched, and he does his best to not sensationalize. To suggest that he would promote pseudo-science is absolutely laughable.
Do better.
- Comment on Uber to introduce fixed-route shuttles in major US cities designed for commuters | TechCrunch 1 month ago:
Allow me to dismiss this out of hand. How would the people even get access to such transportation? Some kind of point of gathering where they could collectively enter or exit these “pods”? Dumb. While we’re at it, and just for the sake of argument, these pods could go at significant speed since they’ll be on their own “rail“ systems (as you call them). This would dramatically decrease the travel time for commuters, but is of course ridiculous on its’ face! Best not to even consider trying such high speed “rail” systems. Back to the cars! ICE over the communist “EV”!

On the real tho, when I worked retail at a printing/shipping center, a guy came in and started puffing on a weed pen. It was so fucking annoying having to talk to, and eventually kick him out of the store, because he couldn’t wait to do that shit outside.
I’ve smoked and vaped PLENTY over the years, I’d never use cannabis in a place of business. The fuck is wrong with people.
