I’m right and that asshole is wrong. Everything would be great if we just beat the crap out of that guy. I just solved all of our problems. Feels great being right doesn’t it? Damn I’m awesome. Better than railing a fat line of blow.

I read once that it’s a social evolution thing. Humans are more likely to survive if we work together, and part of working together means following the rules and a little bit of self sacrifice. We get a little shot of dopamine when we call someone out for breaking the rules because it makes the tribe stronger. The problem is that we figured out that psychological hack and it’s being exploited now to insane levels. We are wired to stop the guy next to us from eating twice his share of the crop or whatever, not for seeing every little assholeish thing some random politician said on the other side of the country, or every person a cop beats up, or every time a Karen is rude to a cashier, and so on. I don’t know how accurate that is but it sure sounds right.
I’m pretty sure the stories themselves are fake but a lot of the situations are plausible that I can kind of see happening some time. The comments sometimes have a lot of useful guidance for navigating complicated social situations. But yeah I do agree with you overall.
Probably for the best isn’t it? Think of all the famous people throughout history. Who among them lived a long happy life and died peacefully? Very few.
Think Hank Hill, not Tucker. I don’t disagree with you and have a very hard time reconciling the fact that these otherwise kind decent folks continue to vote R. I think a ton of them are just disengaged voting by muscle memory, misled by faux news, and figure it is politics as usual.
You should review the thread title and re read the OP’s question. If you get off the internet and go outside and talk to people you see it’s actually quite nice out there for the most part. So should you uproot your life to get while the getting is good, stick around and tough it out, or what? It’s nowhere near as simple as you make it seem.
Therein lies the question. Stay and fight the good fight, get out while the getting is good, or ignore the sensational headlines because overall most of these people are actually pretty nice besides their hard coded habit to vote R.
The whole DMV area is amazing, congrats on the move! I’d live there in a heartbeat if it were in the cards.
I just spent some time in savannah which was great. Reasonably priced and Georgia is a blueish purple state. Charleston SC is quite nice as well but more expensive. Something to consider.
I’m right there with you in almost an identical situation only in Florida. Honestly though it doesn’t suck here nearly as much as Reddit and the media want you to believe. At least not for people like us anyway…
At the end of the day I try to ignore all the macroscopic issues that I have no control over. There’s a few things missing from my life here that are not missing elsewhere, so I’m 99% going to move soon.
I don’t mean this in a selfish way but I think the best thing to do is whatever is best for you regardless of all the white noise around you.
My office’s IT helpdesk guy had a similar comic in his office. 3 panels of a guy at his work computer miserable, and the last panel he’s at home on his own computer happy as a clam. So true
My extended family watches Fox News so much the logo is literally burned into the TV even when it is turned off. It’s deeply disturbing.
Religion. One reason of many why I loathe and despise it.
Done, thanks. I’ll use my meat suit to do just that.
Yeah the “meat suit” comment makes me think some kind of dysmorphia or something , that’s friggin weird man. Our meat suits are how we experience the universe and they profoundly impact our state of mind and being. To deny it demonstrates a very odd disconnect from reality.
Maintain your meat suit?! Get the fuck outta here. You think everyone doesn’t need to remember oh yeah gotta brush my teeth, or forget now and then? And yeah taxes suck for everyone. Life is hard, who knew. Get over yourself.
I’m not sure if it is possible for me to care less what type of phone somebody uses.
If I found out somebody was judging me based on my phone I would seriously consider breaking up with them.
I’m surprised and dismayed we are even having this conversation, and some of the other replies are deeply troubling.
I mean…I just assume everyone is an idiot in general until proven otherwise, no need to discriminate.
Is the scraggly beard guy supposed to be a protagonist or a douche? I can never tell with these comics because he looks exactly like I’d imagine a typical basement dweller generously fancy themselves.
I don’t disagree with the sentiment, but antiwork and related pages are full of mis/disinformation that is very misleading and dangerous if large groups are swayed by it. The people there are particularly aggressive and savage about it when their ignorance is pointed out in good faith. Again I get it and their hearts are usually in the right place, but I’d recommend steering clear.
