Need to add Jill Stein and Chase Oliver to the mix to fully embrace how weak all our candidates are.

It’s generic gas-station garbage but a Backwoods sometimes hits the spot. Best paired with cheap beer and junk food.

It’s been memed to death at this point, but this is one reason I like the political compass. It’s got width and height, and does a little bit of a better job at representing things.

I usually watch the dub when I’m watching with my wife because she likes to crochet and craft while doing stuff, but I prefer the sub when watching just me.

The quality of dubbed anime has gotten way better over the last decade since there’s an established market for it now. So if it’s a newer dub (2000s+) I’d go for the dub. Anything older than that, go for a sub.

Alright. I been afraid to ask for fear of getting banned from other communities hosted on their instance, but what is the deal with hexbear? The chat community seems like satire, but it gives off the same kind of vibes as the_donald, just far-left instead of far right. Like, I consider myself a lefty, but their community just seems self-destructive and toxic. Maybe that’s the point, though? Honestly unsure, and afraid to ask on their instance cuz I don’t wanna get accused of “just asking questions” and banned.

Hexbear almost made me quit Lemmy entirely until I figured out I could just block whole communities. So there’s that. Lol.

Absolutely. I thought I was mildly liberal. And then I found out that liberalism was just feudalism wearing a capitalism hat.

Gonna have to go with losing my job and enlisting. Absolutely spiralled after basic training and AIT. The perspective from being a part of the American machine did not do a lot to make me more patriotic lol. A lot of dudes I was in with drank the Kool aid and went the other direction, though. I don’t think anyone leaves the military as a centrist.

Fellow introvert. Don’t really know what to say other than this post tracks. The value of just “being” is really important.

Hope your week is well. And everyone who reads this, too.

I’ll end up voting for Biden. Not psyched about it, but pragmatically the alternative is so much worse. Might get shit from the ultratankies and hexbros, but I’d rather do damage control than whine about Biden and do nothing while an actual fascist snakes his way back in.

It doesn’t feel good. And it isn’t good. But this is the reality we live in at the moment.
