I’ve had the great fortune to visit and live among other peoples in their countries (primarily the Baltics, Russia proper and Belorus) many years ago (first when Eesti still used the ruble, and then later again when she used those beautiful Eesti Kroon), when the people of those countries had much to tell me about their lives and cultures. I then had to return to the states, where knowing these things was frowned upon heavily, because they weren’t US-centric stories.

I’ve lived outside US borders just perhaps long enough to be able to disdain US exceptionalism, and understand that its head hasn’t been cowed enough yet for its population to understand humility relative to the much older and wiser world.

It’s very sad that I have to live to see it, especially with Canada and Mexico as our neighbors, but it seemed inevitable decades ago, so I’ll watch grimly as the country I was born in is made to fucking reckon… if it ever even learns to understand that fact.

Yup!

Fuck ICE :)

Completely unsurprising while at the same time completely unfuckingreal

Fuck yeah, good to see the Props getting a mention, and with a classy track, too.

Anonymous is bored again? Oh, okay.

Fucking duh

Several thousand is a lot, sure.

The time it took me to reach this conclusion, after seeing the headline, is measured in quectoseconds.

Flowchart? All I see is “NO - Do not use X”

Bots, by their very nature, usually have some kind of agenda, and that agenda may be to pretend that they have no agenda at all.

If bots are what worries you, you are voluntarily on a platform that you know has bots that you cannot trust, so you’re going to need to decide whether to remain on a platform you’ve determined that you cannot inherently trust, or leave, and by doing so, not need to be paranoid about the bots on this platform.

Which, of course, is to say that there are similar such bots on other platforms you may choose to visit…

Exhausting, no?

I reassert my original advice to you to broaden your horizons to endeavor to interact with others more and more meaningfully, so as to familiarize yourself with, and become much better accustomed to, the plethora of human personalities. You’ll thank me, I assure you.

You really will.

Why are you so confused by this? It’s not at all as difficult as you’re trying to make it seem.

You’re literally in a public forum trying to project your assertions about another person merely because you don’t agree with them. It’s perplexing, really.

You fail to understand one of the simplest characteristics of the human species, and that is they’re not actually required to behave as you believe they should, and many understandably won’t.

You can simplify all of this just by saying you’re a big fan of the guy.

Literally everything in your reply is some extremely weird projection trying to invalidate another person’s opinion, and it’s incredibly strange.

Honestly, you come across as a person who hasn’t had much interaction with different opinions, perspectives, and personalities.

Oh shit, we good then. Why yes, that is purified radium I’m gobbling by the handfuls, and no it has nothing at all to do with this post.

Look man, if I wanted radiation poisoning, I’d just go hop in a nuclear reactor.
