It is absolutely fuckin bonkers that Trump is so bad that a person can say they yearn for the good old days with Dubya without a hint of sarcasm

It would have cost you nothing to never share this thought, and yet here we are.

OMFG that’s WAY better

Is “Starter” referring to who was the initial projected winner at…the beginning of whatever period US elections start? Which to an outsider just looks like “always”?

So, I would like to know how to use mastodon better. I’ve just been having trouble finding content that I care about. Is it just that the discover feature isn’t great? Or is there a better app for Android I can use that would make things feel more intuitive?

Awww man, is James Woods a brain-dead MAGA cultist now?

Detailed release notes for a URL change? You’re a saint and a scholar both.

Stephen Graham Jones’ The Only Good Indians was wonderful, and Augusta Bazterrica’s Tender is the Flesh was dystopian nightmare fuel. Both absolutely excellent books.

Wait, you can’t give people food or water if they’re standing in the line? Why the hell not?

And hours in line?? What? Why!

Gooooddddammit, I actually didn’t mind the PRIME electrolyte powder for when I’m sweating like mad (brought it to Burning Man this year), but Logan goddamn Paul owns it? Fuck I hate that guy

You can be anti-genocide and still have enough of a working brain left to recognize singling out one political party at a time on the genocide in Gaza is a disingenuous argument, cause they both suck, and that specifically targetting the Dems ignores the part that Trump would happily let his good friend Bibi turn Gaza into glass.

It’s a dumb pro-GOP propaganda meme, and people that think shit memes like this have value are dangerous because they encourage voter apathy.

God what a transparently lame pro-Trump propaganda meme. Boooorrring, next!

Are any “undecided” voters actually swayed by this useless garbage?

All I need are good alternatives to:

• find or coordinate local events
• post used things for sale

and Facebook is totally irrelevant to me. The way people switched from Kijiji to Marketplace absolutely screwed me over for leaving Meta.

Oh, HPPD is definitely a thing, but extraordinarily rare.

I may have misspoke about the brown acid - this was a legit warning resulting from “home-brew chemists” attempting to make their own LSD and failing to create it properly. Most of the supplies back then were direct from Sandoz (Novartis) and basically were being given away to the scientific community for novel testing. Fun stuff.

I’m talking about the hyperbole of “acid flashbacks” which was a narrative introduced to discourage and demonize LSD usage by the political and intellectual opponents of the Nixon administration. “Rots your brain permanently” and all that other garbage.

Turns out regular LSD usage by the “hippie” community and by many people involved in high-level education (particularly college and university professors) was making people feel more connected and empathetic towards one another, and that just didn’t do for the Republicans who needed everyone to fear “the other”.

What they also did with marijuana and heroin, and subsequently with crack cocaine, was truly abhorrent.

The information in the hallucinogenic section about acid flashbacks is incorrect. This was a false rumour spread in the 70s to demonize the political opponents of Nixon.

Hating people never leads to logical outcomes. I’d rather accept that they’ve been somewhat brainwashed and battle against it, than hate my neighbour.
