Expecting a revolution to solve your problems is a bad joke.

Personally I think it does matter because the same things that led those independents to be incapable of determining that Trump really is a bad man/president (despite the fucking mountains of evidence to support it) will lead them down a similar path with the next wannabe despot the GOP puts forth.
I mean yes, congratulations for catching up to the rest of us. Why the fuck did it take them so long?
My family has a few people who just got out of the military.
I explicitly pointed out that Trump called them, and their grandfather (whom they claim to love very much) suckers.
Their response was, more or less, “Yeah but Trump is better because he has balls!”.
The majority of people in the military are, in fact, suckers.
The guy suggested that practicing basic hygiene is ‘faking it’ and trying to ‘fit in’.
I don’t want to use the words ‘lost cause’ but I’m getting close.
The great orange god already told them to inject it, they ignored him. Seems like a common affliction Magats suffer is being selectively deaf.
I don’t think comfortable clothes will remedy that broken hip
If you’re reading this, just know that I will probably butt heads with you at some point. I can be abrasive, and I typically don’t censor what I think.
That being said, I wouldn’t choose any other social media. Lemmy makes me think of what the United States should be, disparate communities coming together to form a larger and stronger whole. I can be an asshole, spit my shit and have people discuss things with me in a rational manner - for the most part coming to a common understanding.
I’ve learned a lot about who I want to be from talking to and reading what Lemmians have to say. I will always appreciate this place.
It’s easy to feel that way even if you are a techy. It seems like being minimally neurodivergent is the abnormal here.
That being said, I’ve been introduced to many different ways of thinking that I wouldn’t have gained otherwise. Think of it like you’re different, but that’s ok because everyone here is different - and that makes them (and you) all the more beautiful for it (especially in the context of idea exchange). In fact, being the different one here will give you the perspective that many of the people who use Lemmy experience simply by existing which, in and of itself, is a valuable thing.
I’d certainly be interested to know for the sake of donations. I would gladly donate to keep the fediverse alive.
bullying
This is OP’s response. You’re not the first person on Lemmy that seems to think it’s impossible to read other people’s comments.
I put the /s there because I was in no way serious.
Please understand, I am on your side here.
corralling student attention in the hands of the parents
What does this mean?
Also, I don’t necessarily disagree with what you’re saying ; the people in control of schools across the U.S. should be ashamed of themselves. However it is the responsibility of the parents to not just shove their kids in front of a screen because they’re too busy for them.
Teachers have it hard enough as it is, I have nothing to say on that front. I would never have the patience to go through what teachers go through, period.
Fair point.
Counterpoint: have you ever considered just not having trauma?
/s
I didn’t realize that I should be over bad things that have happened to me simply because I’ve reached x age.
Phenomenal, it’s just that easy! Just don’t have trauma, why didn’t I think of that?
Why does being 40 somehow mean they need to change?
Well, except that your votes still carry some weight in the U.S.
Not a hell of a lot, but certainly more than Russia.
Doesn’t* congrats, it’s you.
What the fuck are you even talking about? Do you know how to read?
But he stands for freedom! Just look at that bridge, it’s red white and blue now because of this patriot!
I am not being serious.
