What if the repeat starts right after the point where you die?

Then you wouldn’t have any memory but you would be stuck in the loop.

Fair enough, I get the boundaries.

I wasn’t necessarily suggesting to move there, more suggesting to considerate and propose Canada starts annexing parts of the west coast.

I don’t want to move, I’d rather have my state leave the union and form one with Canada.

I realize this is way less realistic than emigration, but this is mostly just a fantasy. I love Canada and it’s culture, and I think the Pacific Northwest would fit right in.

What if we want to come up and join you in this sentiment?

He’s going to be a martyr even if the blood clot gets him. It will get spun somehow.

Late 40s, reason was I don’t like when social media agrees to work with fascists, so I looked for an alternative and was happy to find this place where it feels a lot more like earlier days internet.

I mean, duh?

I’ve seen a lot of violence posts coming from non us users. It seems there’s some kind of effort to incite the us into violence going on and I don’t like it one bit.

I feel this. I stopped using almost all social media except pie fed (if you can call pie fed social media). This makes me part of the disappearing voices elsewhere, I used to be pretty active elsewhere.

They can fucking try.

FWIW I’m a genx who did well and I didn’t grow out of it.

I know the system is rigged, I don’t want to hoard anything, and I want to live in a world where everyone does well.

People that change their values because they make a lot of money don’t actually have any values.

That sounds about right, I’ve definitely found a number of them in sales. They tend to have a talent for sales because of the lack of morality and the insane charm.

All I can say to this is, it’s magic. So, you get to stay on if the carpet wants you to stay on.

That’s is, that’s your protection.

If they try to ingratiate themselves too aggressively, if they make way too good eye contact and smile so big and are effusively positive, and they make the hairs on the back of my neck crawl, I know it’s highly likely I’m interacting with a sociopath or psychopath.

Everyone that’s normal has a chance to be good or evil and it changes over time.

If the person hits the trigger points above though I know they aren’t going to be a stable actor to deal with because they will lack empathy, be utterly self serving, and never feel guilt for their actions.

I’ve encountered quite a few of these people in my years and they often are in positions of authority because they are really good at fooling and manipulating people.

I don’t know if this is good or bad but I definitely try to avoid or at least ring fence people like this when I encounter them.
