Not nothing in return.

A life of being hounded and attacked for their good service.

In fact, nothing would probably be preferable.

Vocalizing things like "I hope not" means you care to some extent, and it's something I read all too often any time literally any name is dropped for VP.

I'd be that guy who says "good, it's bad for you" but every day I recognize more and more why people consume things that are bad for them.

That's why Jordan could have caught him up on that if he had been prepared.

I also hate the gaslighting.

The next thing he'd say is "well they didn't mean that."

It could happen on occasion, but every time? That's a massive statistical outlier and the notion that we are basically perpetually divided so evenly is definitely a veiled tactic to drain morale.

Shame.

Loved the Scholastic book fairs as a kid. There were a lot of wonderful books that were promoted, and none of them were pushing the agenda that hard. At least, none I ever picked up.

Books for that age really don't even need to have any form of romance at all, they should be about adventure or some such to stoke and encourage the growth of a child's imagination, make them think and challenge them with more suitable concepts.

How does one prove that the date listed was the actual date though?

The only way to stop this is to remove mail in altogether.

You would think they'd have a longer clip though.

This is the obvious explanation, however and I don't know what anyone would expect them to be hiding in that scene.

"This isn't happening."

"Yes it is."

"Okay. But it's a good thing it's happening."

I think he has flip flopped on a few things and I don't really like the rationalization people use for him.

I pretty much doubt it will be Flynn, but I guess unlike you I don't really care who the pick is since it doesn't change my vote and I have to believe that Trump will pick someone that does the job this time.

It literally is. A republic is a form of democratic government where we select representatives to vote in our stead.

I actually had no idea that happened.

The reprogramming and such that is; I thought he just got blacklisted and shunned.

I don't ever even see the media talking about him, contrary to your point. Though I guess to be fair, it's not exactly something I look for.

Yeah, I really hope people start to notice the trends that led people down this way.

If I may dip into pop culture, people warned what would happen when horse armor was added as DLC for Elder Scrolls: Oblivion if people didn't collectively stop it (now everything is hyper monetized, that was one of the first micro transactions).

Another example is instant gratification; people noticed starting with Call of Duty 4, and worsening with each, there were more and more flashy things on screen, point pop ups for kills, kill streaks, objectives, assists, etc.

I remember older gamers at the time warning me (not directly) that we would see this raise a generation of people addicted to instant gratification and it turned out to be dead on.

It is why people should value what their elders warn. Even if you don't agree, even if you don't see it at the time you should still value it enough to carry with you for years until you can look back and understand their perspective.

I think marketing saturation of an empty gimmick puts some types of people under a spell. Like they're subconsciously obligated to accept the idea or else they're a bad citizen. I think that's how most liberals get programmed.

This is essentially true but you can put anything there rather than just SpongeBob or cartoons in general.

Accept, or be cast out. Conform, or you are a terrible person.

It's weird.

I liked SpongeBob when I was young, well enough.

Yet the enthusiasm and memes that comes out of it is really weird, and I admit I end up feeling disconnected because I guess I didn't like it that much.

In regards to anime/cartoons, older cartoons have nostalgia and anime has a lot of older teen and adult oriented stories that can act as a gateway to adults as well, and retain viewers.

Plus, a lot of anime ends up being good for escapism because modern "social issues" are jammed down our throats in every other hobby, professional environment and entertainment escapism.

In fact, I think the constant craving for escapism single handedly drives the Isekai genre's popularity and oversaturation.

Eh, even then. It'd be a tough read because it will include accounts leading up to it, which we are presently living.

It's insane how much the brainwashed tyrantlets have latched on to that, but I suppose if I become retrospective I can see it happening in almost real time; the "technically correct, the best kind of correct" memes, memetics in general, a burgeoning superiority complex about being "better" and "smarter" if you used Reddit, etc.

For people -- and naturally this does go for people on both sides -- it is no longer about being knowledge seekers, being thirsty for information to improve your personal understanding and perhaps add into the world.

Instead, now it's an ingrained complex. It's about being right, at any cost. As long as other people "affirm" your intelligence, it means you're simply better than anyone deemed lower.

Where there is a superiority complex, there is an "in" for manipulation, which is why both historically and in regards to fiction, there are often characters stoking the ego of the "man in charge" while maneuvering for personal gain.

It's disappointing that I get to live in a time where seeking information in all aspects and angles has been labeled as a cause of "misinformation".

Sorry, I ranted. I'm a little salty about it.

One of the greatest cons in modern memory is that "misinformation" needs to be "corrected" when it comes to opinion based voting.

All they have to do is run coordinated articles that something is dangerous misinformation, astroturf a bit on Reddit and put out news coverage and they can add a legal backing such as this.

Why do they capitalize "His" like they worship him as God?

It's fun to laugh, but everyone needs to understand the goal is to put as many people out of work as possible, so we all enter poverty under the government teat, which makes us easier to control and to put down.

Miners yesterday, programmers today, welders tomorrow, surgeons next week.

It's integral to understand that we all need to work together and recognize the issue that is coming to the country, especially with so much manufacturing continuing to be pushed offshore.
