My state used to caucus and I was always really good at making my point and flipping votes, last one I did was for Sanders v Clinton and I’m sad I won’t get to convince my neighbors not to vote for this dumpster fire of a woman, like girl read the room ffs

This is genuinely a fantastic response that is also absolutely correct in its premise

They banned all of us… I know I’m among many other early Reddit users who were considered “power users” by Reddit’s own metrics, many of us were purged early. I hit the front page several times when it was still a “big deal” and was very active in comments. If they wanted more content and input they shouldn’t have banned people like me who were actually making the place human

When you say it like that, in this context… it seems, weird, right? Like something is off…

Athletes foot is super easily treated by OTC meds if you can’t clear it it’s probably because your shoes are colonized by the fungus

I made popcorn, on the stove, I was that desperate

I still think it’s stupid to say both parties are the same because they have a few things in common. They have vastly more things not in common and asserting otherwise just undermines your point. Just say what you mean not some broad incorrect statement, both parties are bad when it comes to privacy, individual liberties or upholding constitutional protections

If you consider LLMs to be robots I guess? I don’t think robots are writing emails, like a robot is not sitting down at a keyboard and typing out emails in your average office, or any office at any scale really

Ever heard of the term “captured opposition”?

They need it so they can have reasons they like their own kids

Leave Max out of your poop problems! Go get some Gatorade

I recently had a dream about Linus Sebastian trying to make Linus Sex Tips with me and his wife was there and crying and I kept telling him I couldn’t do it but she wouldn’t leave because she was the producer… I’m taking a LTT break

ITT people talking about Nazi dog whistles

I was voting and one of the people I looked up for judge had “EMPATHY” as a big point for her, considering a lot on the right have said empathy is bad/a weakness/the problem and judges are supposed to be nonpartisan I considered it to be a dog whistle. She also had a lot of good stuff in her background but having EMPATHY in big bold letters seemed purposeful

Im just born like this tbh

I was in the ICU for six months once, even on what every probability said was going to be my deathbed I was hopeful a new set of lungs would come and I would get my transplant, and they did. I had one moment in those six months where I really did think “this could be it” but even that, it was a maybe, I always had hope. I think I would have died hopeful.

For me it’s just an inborne trait or at least a trait I developed so early I don’t remember not being like this

My sons gf is in nursing school right now and she and I were talking about the people in her cohort who are anti vax and the overlap with the overt religious right and virtue signaling and “care culture” there’s absolutely a whole group of people within medicine exactly as you described who have values completely at odds with the hippocratic oath

Quesadillas

I was afraid of Dr. Seuss’s “The foot book” because the cover scared me so I understand

Dr. Seuss’s style in general still freaks me out and makes me physically uncomfortable so do some animation styles that remind me of it like SuperJail

Is this the same thing as the “Reddit hug of death”?
