Concern trolling is one of the main ways 4chan has been destroyed by shills and bots. Endless infighting about how nothing will ever get better. 4chan's culture of being contrarian makes concern trolling easier. The site owner faciliting the concern trolling dooms 4chan to being a demoralization tarpit.
I've become increasingly familiar with this. I have a friend who exclusively gets his news from /pol/, and as recently as today he sent me this retarded twitter screencap and told me that "Biden had way more free speech then Trump".

When I told him that the Antisemitism Envoy has been a position for decades and only has power in forign affairs, he discarded it and just sperged about Trump deporting people critical of Israel. There is no way of reaching these people.
 
I will give Microsoft this much - their strength has often been in creating an OS / UI that is as aesthetically pleasing or comfortable in contrast to the sterility of Apple. And I'm someone who's old enough that my first exposure to OSes was both a Commodore PET and a Vax Terminal. I've seen a lot of OSes in my time and Microsoft really peaked with XP in terms of making an OS something nice to look at.
XP also had personality and was fun:

I guess they'd be cool with strangers in their houses then, living off their stuff? Walls are borders, too, and if no human is illegal, everyone's a resident! After all, that's how it worked in Aurora.

>Why stop there? Quote boxes are a form of separation between humans ment to keep our ideas separated. Don't let Null oppress us like this!

It's high time that autism gets split off into different disorders beyond levels 1-3. PDD-NOS was vague enough, but if a diagnosis is a "spectrum," then it's fundamentally useless. Like different disorders under "the autism umbrella" since that's essentially what it is now. It wouldn't solve the problem of munchies and other fakers, but at least they'd be more accurate as diagnoses.
As someone touched by the tism my self, I prefer the term Asperges Syndrome than High Functioning ASD anyway. The change in terminology reminds be of the George Carlin bit about soft language and the change from shellshock to PTSD and how we have been moving away from direct and blunt terms to more clinical language that doesn't have much meaning.

No, if you want to keep them intact, call them “boundaries” and tell everyone your therapist said you needed to work on them

America needs to work on its BOUNDARIES, we’ve been in an abusive relationship
 
That sounds like cope from the writers... I can deffinetly believe the ostracized part but the mad about it? I am still 100% convinced biden was on cloud 9 when trump shit on the people who stabbed him in the back.

Great write up btw, interesting stuff.
If you were mad at a colleague for multiple decades in governance (Pelosi) pulling a Brutus live on Morning Joe and giving everyone tacit approval to knife you the requisite 23 times, because some donors were getting spooked, and it was all at the word of that mulatto shithead you spent years taking heat for who STILL didn't back you in 2016 OR 2020, and then, on top of it, they force the nice young lady you picked to put a relatable face on your campaign and carry on your legacy to distance herself from you, wouldn't you be gleeful when they get shit on?
Joe is also obsessed with attention, even moreso than a standard politician. Like the only time he and Harris ever came to any kind of conflict in the text is over him endorsing her in his withdrawal speech, because he wanted to hold off until the following week to endorse her so he could be the top headline over the weekend. She had to remind him "Joe if I'm not in your speech Obama is going to get his way and have his open primary instead of me being able to smoothly step up", and THEN he agreed to endorse her faster, in a separate speech, the afternoon after the morning he signed the letter.

(side note: I forgot to mention it, but I do totally believe Harris genuinely likes Biden, or at least feels extremely indebted to him, it's not the writers trying to whitewash her reputation. There were many times where her staffers were begging her to drop him, it was the politically advantageous thing to do, and the authors are actually criticizing her for not doing it, it's practically the only thing they do criticize, but she doesn't)

Yeah being in the same room with Biden probably got Doug to pause the beatings

a interesting question is who could the dems have run to have a chance to beat trump? shapiro? gavin?
 
Her almost calling Trump a motherfucker during their one and only debate is framed as this heroic moment of restraint and badassery and not maybe the one time on the planet she could've gone off-script to the campaign's benefit.
This is a good book review because it only highlights the important bits.

But this? That would have been hilarious, and I’m surprised I missed that

That's what I'm getting at. The left only likes boundaries when they benefit. Otherwise, whether they're borders or the "cotton ceiling," they think they have to be destroyed at all costs.

I think you are way over selling her love of Joe, but she was definitely indebted. She didn't criticize him because she was tied to the hip with him. She was picked to be his VP after getting dead last in the primaries and when he stepped down he passed the baton to her, so she can't really attack her own source of legitimacy. I think her not attacking Joe was the right move, and she tried her best to distance herself away from him and his policy. Kamala's main problems wasn't Biden, but she was a lazy VP who has no charisma, no policy, same canned speeches, and let Trump run circles around her in both amounts of rallies and also dominated podcast circuit which completely changed the game of elections.
 
So it's not glamorous work, it's physically demanding and often dirty or too hot or too cold. Little kids don't dream "When I grow up, I want to work in a factory." But at the same time, a lot of people will do the work that's required willingly and without too much complaint if the pay is decent, there are safety measures, and they get a few benefits, particularly if there's a deficit of good jobs in the area. They're not going to say that in an internet poll though, they're going to talk about their dreams, not reality.
All those 'Urban' yoots dead over crack corners, because there's no place for an 80 IQ kid being 'raised' by grandma.
 
I think you said you work in a factory, right? And I've worked in a couple of different factories in my lifetime and even ran a small one for a little while. Neither of the factories I worked in were bad places to work, we got breaks, we could go to the bathroom or get a drink of water when we needed to, and we even got limited benefits like sick days and vacation.

In my experience, nobody really wanted to work there. They wanted the paycheck, and the work was within their skill set. Everybody there still wished they had a better job. Nobody wanted to make a lateral move, from the factory to fast food or retail sales, but they still all dreamed of getting out of there and getting a high-paid desk job or starting their own businesses. They were content enough with their work and conditions, but they all wanted more. The smarter ones worried what would happen when they were too old or physically unfit to do the job any more.

So it's not glamorous work, it's physically demanding and often dirty or too hot or too cold. Little kids don't dream "When I grow up, I want to work in a factory." But at the same time, a lot of people will do the work that's required willingly and without too much complaint if the pay is decent, there are safety measures, and they get a few benefits, particularly if there's a deficit of good jobs in the area.

Bro why you posting the same message twice, an hour and ten minutes apart IMG_7849.webp

Carlin is cancer incarnate. He is the proto redditor. Completely detached but full of zeal to shit all over everything. I would pay good money to see him and Bill Hicks ressurected and have Bill Hicks smash his faggy face in with a hammer. If Carlin was still alive he'd be sayin "just call them Xir, what's the big deal you call it a 'venti' instead of a small you jackass!" To a roar of retards clapping.
