  • According to my sister in law, who’s not welcome at family gatherings, there’s going to be a great reset. Trump needs to be given total unchecked power so he can save us all from… well that part isn’t clear.

    One minute she blames the “globalists” (she means the Jews but won’t overtly admit it), the next minute she blames LGBTQ+ people for… existing… I guess? Then she blames immigrants, black people, China, Democrats, Obama, and on and on.

    She views Trump as a savior figure. Not necessarily Jesus, but another savior sent by her god. Her worldview and reasoning for supporting Trump is scattershot and in pieces. She can’t form a single coherent thought without spinning off into other unrelated nonsense. The brain rot is real.

    To answer your question, I don’t think even she really knows why she supports Trump and the Republicans. She certainly can’t articulate it to anyone.


  • Just to clarify, the US Democrat party isn’t a left wing party, it’s a right wing party. It hasn’t been left wing since Jimmy Carter. We have two right wing parties in the US which often comes as a shock to people who aren’t paying attention.

    Also, all of the economic problems you’re experiencing are because of capitalism, not communism.

    There’s only five countries in the world that are externally labeled as “communist,” and four of them are in Asia. All five don’t classify themselves as communist.

    The term is just a fear-triggering word to trick gullible people into blaming the problems of capitalism on an imaginary boogeyman.







  • It’s probably better detection.

    As for internet brain rot, I suspect that’s due to the idolization of swiftly delivered entertainment over everything else.

    People don’t read anymore because it takes time and effort to get into the book. It takes commitment and thought. People would rather have entertainment fed to us in thousands of smaller doses. Get those micro dopamine hits with each swipe of your phone.

    I suspect it’s also a form of escapism. The world is turning to shit and TikTok brain rot works much in the same way as abusing drugs.



  • He’s in jail, last I checked. He had anger management issues and serious problems at home. For whatever reason, he took his problems out on me and others. He actually went into the women’s restroom and physically attacked me.

    In my last year of high school in 1999, the police asked him to step out of the classroom and into the hallway to “talk.” There was loud voices, then the sound of a scuffle, shouting, and we could see then police had tackled him to the ground.

    I don’t exactly know what shit he was dealing with at home, but I heard it was bad. Still, that’s no excuse for his behavior towards others.






  • I can genuinely tell you I’d have no idea how to handle this

    Yeah that’s pretty much the story of my life. Everyone from insurance, to employers, to the military, to legal paperwork, to traveling, and everything else. I was even excommunicated from my church when I was 12 for the “crime” of being intersex.

    Not only do I have this issue, my little brother and my uncle on my mom’s side does too.


  • I’m intersex and have both male and female anatomy. US healthcare “insurance” isn’t coded for people like me. It assumes a sex binary when the facts of reality show otherwise.

    Back at my old job, I had full premium health insurance. However, they kept denying each and every claim, denying literally everything. They unofficially recognized my intersex condition and used it against me.

    Whenever I filed a claim as female, they’d deny it and claim I was male and thus the claim was incorrectly filled out. When I filed as male, they’d pull the exact same stunt now claiming I’m female and thus the claim was incorrectly filled out. Whatever the claim, large or small, it was always the wrong sex on the paperwork.

    It was a "heads I win, tails you lose" situation. I have a better job with the government and with a different insurance company, but they too are starting to pull the same stunt. I hate this country for allowing such corruption to thrive.
