A system reboot would be wonderful now.
Let’s hope we do better next time.

I don’t think it’s weird. It’s just an item from your childhood that you’re attached to for emotional reasons. A lot of people have one of these - be it a blanket, a plushie, a toy, a videogame, a necklace or some other piece of jewellery, etc…
They might remind you of your childhood, or maybe of the person who gifted it to you or someone else whom you knew at the time. I don’t see anything wrong with having attachment to your memories.
When I was 5, my parents gifted me an owl-shaped cushion. That same cushion is still on my bed over 20 years later. Looking at it brings back memories of my childhood, and it has this soft, short “fur” which reminds me of the dog I had back then, whom I miss very dearly. Touching makes me feel like my dog is still with me somehow :)
Because “youth” is not a block, just as “Boomers” is not a block either.
A lot of young people are against LGBT rights, oppose the liberalisation of drugs, and care little about women and reproductive rights (including women themselves!).
GamerGate involved mainly young people, for example.
You can’t fight fascism on the marketplace of ideas. The moment you sit at the table to talk, they spring up and punch you in the face.
Limiting circulation of fake news, holding those who spread it accountable, and forcing social networks to moderate their platform if they want to operate in the EU, should be the priority.
First France, now Germany. Seems Europe (at least some of us) has decided it won’t sit idly and let far-right extremists burn us to the ground.
Although these are all provisional fixes. The true solution would be to get the people to ditch these idiots, and to do that, we need to fight disinformation and far-right propaganda on social media. Democracy can’t survive if the voting base is too ignorant to choose its leaders.
Unharmed, but not unarmed.
Went there, found nothing, and had a hard time coming back up.
2/10 would not recommend.
Cats are cool, but have you seen bats?
You only exist in my nightmares, Clippy.
It wasn’t just a few thousand votes in key states that won Trump the presidency. Harris lost millions of votes across the entirety of the US - Such big numbers would be statistically impossible to fake and tamper with.
At some point you have to shift the blame onto Biden and Harris. Democrats could and should’ve won if they actually cared to present a candidate people actually cared about.
Paradise is wherever I can pet a cat.
However, Tintin remains under copyright in the EU until 2054.
What the fuck, EU? Since when you’re shittier than the US?
Copyright shouldn’t last more than one hundred years, ffs.
The story behind the image is actually quite funny:

There are many uncertainties in today’s world, but I can always trust in Thomas the Tank Engine to do the right thing.
Terminator was almost correct. The real terminator will be Arnie walking around in a fursuit.
I’ll be back. UwU
If the last few years have taught me anything, it’s that what you do is not important as much as the narrative that you are able to spin.
As long as TV news networks, podcasters, news outlets, and Musk’s Twitter exist, people who are too ignorant to understand they are being lied to, or too lazy to parse credible information, will stay in the dark and vote red in the next election as well.
Democracy doesn’t work when the electorate is too illiterate to cast their vote justly. They’ll just vote for the next clown who promises them the moon.
I don’t have a solution.
You know the times are dire when you find yourself rooting for Moscow Mitch.
Electing Trump the first time was the equivalent of Brexit.
Electing him twice is the equivalent of setting your own home on fire, walking back inside while the house is still burning and taking a nap, hoping that the flames will only destroy your neighbour’s house.
When enough problems have leaked through, it will cause a buffer overflow, and all problems will be solved!
