Also they didn’t clap for Jeb Bush 🤣

Yes

I’m in the GTA. Asians here. They fucking love Tesla’s.

It’s interesting because I was talking to my psychologist about this last week.

Mental illness runs in my extended family specifically my best friend is a functional alcoholic. He grew up the son of a functional alcoholic.

We all agree that alcoholism is an addiction, just like gambling, social media, etc.

The problem is that as a society we are addressing the specific addiction. AA for alcoholics. For gambling the government has programs you can admit yourself to.

What I was postulating to my psychologist is the real problem is some people have un underlying susceptibility to addiction. My experience with addicted people is regardless of good or bad if you remove an addiction they will replace with an unhealthy obsession on something else. Alcohol will be replaced with something else because the problem is the person has an imbalance they can’t do something in moderation. I’ve seen this time and time again.

Plus factor in comorbidities like ADHD and you have a stew going.

My point being, yes you’re correct tech is a problem, but it’s 100% the people too in some cases it’s just without the social media their addiction may have been benign so not visible. “Oh look at Mary with her beanie baby collection.” Or “oh look at Jack he really is a go getter running his 10k rain or shine every day.”

Typical Lance ruining it for everyone!

We used to hang out in front of the church on main Street until one Halloween we all saw a crocinole board fly through the air and into the windshield of a passing car. Many of us got to ride in a paddy wagon that night. Fun times.

They don’t have good engineers because Oracle is a law firm pretending to be a tech company.

We call this the IBM business plan.

Easier said than done sometimes and speaking as a parent we aren’t all perfect and individuals (parents and children) vary.

But think of the memes!

I mean drive through my neighbourhood (Newmarket, Ontario) it’s pretty much little Iran as it is.

Much love to my Iranians my kids are friends with their kids. I love my Iranian peeps.

As do many who come from nothing or have nothing.

I’m thankful as a Canadian I came from meagre beginnings and my dad was a post-war baby in bombed our London. I have first hand experience in knowing what nothing is.

Let it burn.

But will it make things better? Worse?

Hey Ive seen people dressed like that!

It’s not cringe it’s pretentious

I’ve seen enough rumours I am genuinely curious if they were eating kids. Reading between the lines they were doing something extremely fucky.

Hard disagree it’s very much you white fuckers (said with love because I’m white) need to embrace the social experience of a movie.

Horror is peak in theaters.

Drag me to hell was the best experience I ever had. Everyone was talking and yelling in the theater. It was rowdy. I was drunk with my friends. It was an 11/10 experience.

Second was Smile post pandemic the theater was packed it was loud and boisterous.

Serious white people get the stick out your ass and enjoy life

Pacific Rim is the perfect popcorn movie

We back to the 80’s baby!

Like you I’m am now vigilant the devil is coercimg me on my Lemmy.

El-P collabed with Trent on Flyentology.

Fuck I’m old now aren’t I?

Proceeds to crank Thot Squad to feel young.

It’s like so many other things. I’m not saying everyone on the right is <insert racist/pedophile/sexist/etc> but I guarantee you if you find me a <racist/pedophile/sexist/etc> they vote for the party on the right.
