Nah I welcome polite/informative ranting, makes for an interesting time on here.

I think I continue to agree with you.

Personally, I subscribe (to my own personal theory) that we haven’t really biologically “evolved” since when we were living together in small/villages as tribes — effectively communes. We did not evolve to know everything about the entire world and have the problem-solving/logistical skills necessary to feed and help more than maybe 100 people (those that should live in our commune) lol

All that to say I think living on a commune with my fam and buddies would be pretty cool, so long as no tankies are there lol.

Fuuuuuuck Russia and all its sympathizers. I’m not educated enough to speak with authority on communism vs. capitalism, so I digress there.

No you’re right, I oversimplified and falsely associated the dictatorships that ruled under the guise of “Nah this is communism guys ITS FOR YOU”

Yep, my first account was made on the wrong instance and I was like “wtf is wrong with everyone here? Like I get corporations fuckin’ suck, but communism???”

They’re also HUGE babies and will claim -ism, -phobia, etc. by stretching the littlest thing.

Agree on all accounts. I got perma-banned for making fun of the conceptual average Reddit user. Now I’m here. That website is a hollow shell of what it once was.

As predicted, their stock going public INSTANTLY made the website 10x shittier. Bots, propaganda, karma-farming, tyrant power-tripping mods/admins, misinfo, and algorithmic front page is just too much.

The drivers for sure. I live in a major metropolitan area on the east coast and at the intersection of three jurisdictions.

My home state’s drivers are slow as molasses and geriatric or are obviously foreign and didn’t take U.S. driver’s ed.

Across the river is a bunch of sheltered drivers who I normally pity. Their city is usually walkable or transit-able so driving is not something you could even expect them to be good at.

And then there’s the adjacent state which is notoriously home to some of the worst drivers in the US who genuinely, routinely make me fear for my life when they’re in my proximity on the road lol. Hate those drivers.

Other than that, I think the culture of my home state is much warmer and friendly while the adjacent state is nice but the people are also a bit more standoffish and cold. Home state is a barren wasteland of awful roads and data centers, adjacent state has so much green space and well-developed communities.
