John Oliver did a segment on this, you can search his name and AI Slop on yt to see it. I didn't realize how much fb was pushing it bc I haven't used it in years, but wow, am I now extra glad I don't use it anymore. And poor Pinterest, r.i.p.

In hindsight, the Dominionism Cult was started in the 70s to take over America. The fascists have been the same this whole time. Checkout "Totalitarianism in America" by Chris Hedges. My mom was in this cult in the 90s, and I have disgusting memories of going to secret meetings where they taught ppl how to brainwash ppl and become their "friend" so they could use them. Now it's rich ppl and republicans, same MOs though.

Nah, he's just Australian 😂

Maybe when it's 130° in the shade they'll start to be like "it may be a tad warm out here."

I did not know about whortleberries.

I'll be your friend; you can actually discuss things well 💜

There was a site I found in '98 or '99 that showed a crap graphics bubble wrap sheet and you could click them all and hear popping sounds!

That Trump cutting funding for USAID will kill 14 MILLION PEOPLE, and we're not calling him Hitler or Ghengis Khan. Wtf.

This is ridiculous, any way we can privately fund the tools staying online for scientists to use?

Aren't narcissism, psychpathy, or machiavellianism major mental illnesses? That would disqualify a lot of politicians

I would use one of these almost every day if it were in walking distance

Lmfao! 😂💜

So adorable!!!

Feeling that everyone's just searching for unity, even tho some ppl are going about it ass backwards and thinking they have to go thru an exclusion phase first

42 here. In my teens and 20s I had depression, so I told myself horrible things like "I'm only worth anything to ppl bc of my art" and "everyone's worse off for having known me," but I don't think like that anymore. I've been trying to think for a few mins if I tell myself positive stuff now instead, but I don't think I do, I just stopped telling myself garbage.

Hire product designers and artists to go to every high school art classroom and ask kids "If you could invent anything in the world, what would it be?" and then draw it for them. So they can get a taste of that feeling that they too have something to contribute to the world. Put the ideas up on a site like kickstarter, with the profits going towards their college education. Nvm, fuck that. I'd pay for college for everybody.

I'd also travel while I could before the planet gets much hotter.

I feel like these are small goals left over from when I was younger bc I can't properly conceive of what a world without scarcity for me and everyone else looks like. I'd start with the housing problem though, bc that's what I'm facing rn.

My (f42) partner (25) of almost 2 yrs is a feminine man, and I love him because of it, not in spite of it.

I grew up in a "they deserve to DIE" toxic conservative household too tho, so I understand how it makes you think the whole world is like that. I can only recommend exposure therapy to help drive home that the average person is by and large loving and accepting and would rather you be your authentic self than have you jump thru imaginary hoops leftover from your childhood.

I still refuse to wear dresses and skirts bc of the gender role trauma I experienced tho, so hopefully you can do a better job than me by the time you're my age of shrugging all that off and being exactly the kind of human you want to be, regardless of how you were raised to do or be or not do or be certain things.

I'm glad to have met you on here, see you around!

If the vote was tomorrow I'd write in AOC

You remember beanie babies? 😂

We're having nationwide protests today called Rage Against the Regime, if that helps any. Some tiny amount anyways. They're not talked about like the No Kings protests were tho. I'm assuming we'll start protests every weekend at some point
