I think I’ll go get some tacos for lunch and mull this one over…

Almost got me with this one. I’ve heard the same argument deployed unironically from some of my own family…

I really do appreciate the words and the sentiment. I would normally agree but right now my faith is still shattered. I think there are good and amazing people, who have done magical and wonderful things. I just think that small and petty tyrants are more common and more indicative of humanity as a whole. That the righteous have to look up from underneath the bootheel of those who deserve to be crushed under one themselves. Instead, those type get to run the show, and obviously always have.

This weekend has been bad mentally. I hope I can find some optimism again. I’m just so tired of expecting the worst and being proven right.

Without a doubt this is the worst part. It was an immediate and irreversible swing from being an optimist who believes in the good of people to the complete opposite. I now believe humanity is fundamentally flawed and will destroy itself.

Watched too much Star Trek as a kid I guess.

There isn’t a best, maybe a less bad but even then it’s an impossible choice. ✋wins here.

Oh, that makes it so much better…

There are so many flags right now it’s just a sea of red undulations. Done by design, so that we don’t notice the death of democracy.

Married couples often start looking alike over time.

I really think this is all the result of putting news behind a paywall, while lies and propaganda are widely and freely disseminated.

We’re fucked.

People saying they work in HR should generally be looked at as if they just admitted to being in a cult

I've never heard it described like this but you nailed it.
