Yeah, this gets applied to things like addiction or poverty, too. “All you gotta do is change stop doing the thing…”. Sure, politically or about other things it’s probably a choice of willful ignorance. But sometimes not so much.

Me scrolling Lemmy again, after my doctor explicitly forbid scrolling.
My hands are attached to my arms, how am I supposed to take them off?!
“The society these days…”
How I see people who don’t follow my exact prescribed advice that I came up with without knowing the situation
Legit. If someone in my life did this I’d believe them when they say they don’t know why they don’t move it away. Maybe they can’t. Mental health issues can often look like a person standing in fire, not moving out of the fire, just letting it consume them as normal folk watch on talking about how they should have just walked into the water.

Spelling is right - it’s 倒霉 / 倒霉 if you wanna look it up
Rake-stepping is the new lingo I’d say
It’s basically this meme in another format:

A real life picture of Republican voters.
Why does Augie burn his hand on the quickie griddle?
This is like most people lol
In most cases I think it has to do with a large mismatch between human urges, carefully calibrated for a primitive, foraging lifestyle, and modern society.
that’s waaay to much justification
they are fucking stupid, put zero effort into forethought
and it is all everyone else’s fault
Thats some premium triple-distilled trolling right there, congrats
Edit : I want going to ask, because I didn’t want to ruin the magic but I can’t help myself.
How do you pack it all in like that?
so concise, its almost a haiku.

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THEY DON’T COME OFF! DO YOURS DO THAT?!”
I’m in this comic and I don’t like it
Same, and same. I must be an emotional masochist or something.
