Epstein didn’t kill himself.
There is a conspiracy. The fact that he was taken off suicide watch, nobody was watching him, and he was given the tools to kill himself was 100% deliberate. That’s the conspiracy.
I think most conspiracies are stupid, people stepping over $20 to pick up a dime. There are background actions driving events that they ignore but instead people look for UFOs, assassinations, or “second shooters” like they’ve got it all figured out.
AOC is a spineless milquetoast establishment liberal who voted to continue arming Israel (or more accurately, voted against a measure to discontinue funding).
In 40 years, GenZ will be the new Boomers. They won’t understand the new Generation D (for “dummy”) that’s too lazy to make their own bowl of cereal without a robot doing it for them. GenD will call GenZ out of touch because they choose to bathe themselves alone rather than shower with a bathing robot. GenZ will reminisce about the brief time they drove their own car, how this new generation just doesn’t understand, and the few remaining GenX’ers will one-up them from the retirement home with talk about stick shifts. Oh, how that new lazy generation knows nothing about the hellscape of manually vacuuming the house. Or having a job. GenD will put down GenZ about not knowing how to live in a fully-automated world, while GenZ quips back about how they were the ones that built that fully-automated world. The big generational debate will be on whether or not to elect robots to Congress or just have AI run the country. And that GenD should liquidate and redistribute the wealth GenZ is hoarding. I hope I’m still around, and I hope there’s popcorn!!! :-)
We need to bring back testing to vote. No, not the intentionally obtuse Jim Crow kind. Basic civics knowledge like what year it is, what are the branches of government, etc…
Lets say music literally kills the art of playing music instruments. It won’t, but lets pretend it does
So?
Really think about that. Music isn’t gone, people just don’t play instruments to make it anymore
OK, and?
People who use doordash and food delivery apps extensively, without a disability, are some lazy ass people, who deserve the shitty experience and high price it costs. Just go fucking get it yourself if you want it hot and fresh and not thrown on the ground.
If you’re looking for intelligent conversation with people in a niche community, you’re better off looking on Reddit than Lemmy.
The reverence for artists in our society is way overdone. I’m not just talking about the Andy Worhols and Taylor Swifts that make WAY too much money for what they give to society. I’m talking about the every day artists. People are way too excited for people who make art as a career, and many of them who complain that they are underpaid are wrong. Art is a fun thing that everyone enjoys doing. Be grateful you are able to monetize it at all.
I posted an unpopular opinion there and people just downvoted it and got mad, lol.
Basically I said that complaining about a paywalled article in comments is annoying and contributes nothing, especially if it’s from an independent long form writer. If someone links to paid media and you don’t want to pay, the post isn’t for you. Just go away.
Some people said “nooo if you make a post and I can’t see the content without paying you’re being a meanie because I can’t participate”
Not every post is for everyone.
The United States has the government the United States deserves.
Disco is the most catchy sounding music genre of all time.
America was a terrible hegemony but better than the alternatives, as we’ll soon learn.
People take the “extrovert” and “introvert” way to far. Instead of being an observation of behavior, they take it to extremes, try turning it into a “quirky” personality and then role-play it everywhere. All due to social media. They talk about it like people who believe in astrology talk about astrology. And then they pretend they’re super happy, when they’re actually miserable and depressed but refuse to think their “introvert” persona is the issue.
cilantro should be erradicated
Black licorice tastes amazing
