On trial for violently running a cruise ship aground while intoxicated, opting to serve as my own defence attorney, then claiming that the disaster is not my fault because I have “powerful dumb guy energy”
Damn, posted a new comment in the previous megathread as it was replaced by this one; so I’ll repost, sue me:
It has begun: as of a day ago or so hospitals are once again having to pick who lives and dies here in France, and postponing tons of surgeries due to COVID, with many of those postponements also resulting in deaths. The government finally put a national lockdown in place and closed schools - about 2 months too late.
The official scientific council created for the pandemic already warned in December that a full similar lockdown should be put in place in January but the government ignored them; and in fact there was an article in Le Monde that describes how Macron took to reading scientific publications on the pandemic and has been arguing with actual epidemiologists when taking decisions at about the same level as a reddit user having read two peer reviewed papers and thinking he’s an expert. That same article has ministers explaining how he (Macron) gets a lot of his info on the pandemic from a well-known twitter account :agony:
I suspect the exact same thing is coming for the US, by the way; stay safe.
Also, thanks to @lydiaaaaaaa for this new megathread. I would also have added that Kaczynski was a victim of the infamous CIA program MKUltra.
I’ve been saying since November that just because Biden was elected, people are going to start showing even less care and cases were going to start to explode. I was saying late Jan or Feb, so I guess I was off by a couple months…but Massachusetts just turned around and cases are going back up, so here we go!
:jokerfied:
Holy shit. I opened my old high school email account from half a decade ago, and on a whim began reading some of the things I had talked about and said to friends during some bad drama in my senior year. I had completely forgotten about all this, and extremely bad memories suddenly came flooding back and I started hyperventilating, legit almost had a fucking panic attack just now from cringing
Electronic record keeping was a goddamned mistake
My dad is very angry. He is claiming youtube has been showing him pictures of shirtless gay men for years when he tries to look up music. Curious. Very curious.
All hail the mighty algorithm. It gives you what you need instead of what you want, at least that’s my interpretation.
YouTube keeps recommending me videos of Jordan Peterson and other right wing hacks no matter how many times I click “not interested”. Idk what I’m doing wrong, all I want is for the algorithm to recommend me shirtless gay men like it did for Rem’s dad.
:sadness:
I’ll pray for shirtless gay men to appear before you, stay strong comrade.
I would like all of you to have access to my totally chill and supportive parents. We aren’t on the same page but they respect it and they’re just okay sixty year old socdems.
It’s good. Being partway between a lib and socdem is pretty much standard with varying degrees of racism depending on the person here. They got some issues but they’re generally alright and at least respect that I got to where I am politically by doing a lot of work that they haven’t done so I probably know more than they do, it’s weird, my dad softened on Stalin no problem but went full battle mode about the McDonald’s coffee spill lawsuit siding with McDonald’s, not much consistency.
Also I feel like generation theory being a fuck aside, they kinda missed one between boomers and gen x. There’s that 70s show acting as the Happy Days equivalent, the first wave of punk and subsequent new wave and hair metal takeover. Most of that stuff also openly resented boomers to some extent. This probably comes from most of my favorite music coming from that era and my parents being the age that if they were cool could have checked that shit out. I dunno, they were born in 61 and 64 and Courtney Love was born in 63 so it seems like there’s a gap there if we’re gonna classify stuff on those lines.
Spending Easter weekend as closeted bi dude with my homophobic evangelical Christian parents. It’s not going great folks.
folks, i’ve played disco elysium for 4 hours, got the “biggest communism builder” achievement, and was just called a lib by my sub-conscious. i am truly a leftist now
