News that isn’t news is just clickbait. Content. Rage bait. It’s the state of journalism, responding to changes in the distribution model and drop in demand for quality.

Read the headlines. Slams, hints, calls for, demands, suggests… It’s all talk and no action. It’s not news it’s gossip. What have we gained by endlessly platforming America’s stupidest and most odious liars? High blood pressure.

He didn’t say this. I’m dunking on their predictability and craven natures. Guess I wasn’t too far off the mark.

“We all do it, we all go home and tell our wives about our day at work, this is… look its basically the same thing… it’s completely normal behavior and the radical lunatic left wants to act like sharing national security secrets with family members at the dinner table is tantamount to treason is just like… like c’mon…”

Hey we’ve been taking vitamins for decades now, they’ve been proven safe!

Wait

Could be the one thing to finally bring peace to the Thanksgiving dinner table, if maga gampa is super pissed about losing his Social Security and decides his “woke” granddaughter maybe has a point after all

Extortion, bootlicking, and corruption. Just another day in America.

Burned at the stake, hanged, crushed, or drowned. Plenty of options.

Jocks all the way. Can’t stand all the material grabbing and creeping and all that. Just need to protect and support the sensitive bits.

🙋 Coffee?

I don’t think the victim here is a leftist. Trucker hat, rolled up sleeves; he’s a working class conservative who’s getting hammered by Trumps policies. He is still blaming Biden against all evidence.

Topic is about Lemmy as a whole, and I’m responding with my impression of that. Your re-interpretation of my impression doesn’t really make sense to me. I’m sure others have different experiences with their own usage of Lemmy but mine does not revolve around my instance enough for me to even form an impression of it. It certainly doesn’t dominate my user experience.

I do appreciate the responses here hinting that I’m wrong about my experience on Lemmy but I had a 13 year old Reddit account that I nuked after the API debacle and I remember the monoculture that developed. Lemmy is not Reddit even if a few instances have their own subcultures. Doesn’t invalidate my impression.

Thanks for pointing out how my opinion is wrong though.

That it doesn’t feel like a culture at all, that you have to adopt. There’s genuine discussion, not just a few top meme-comments and a sea of ignored participation.

I have noticed in my daily life and work a drastic and rapid reduction in visible support markers from the minority of radicalized Trump supporters in my area since the election. I have often wondered if this is the result of shame or actual regret.

Doesn’t really matter in the end. They’re just as likely to find a new target to blame for his failures. These people don’t do introspection very well.

“Hey guys! We won! We control basically all three branches of government! We can do anything we want!”

“Neat! What should we do first?”

“Oh, I know what! Let’s revisit a settled issue and try to rewrite history though performative acts of phony investigation!”

“…uh, ok. But what’s the point? We got everything we wanted. We can do anyth…”

“THEY HURT OUR FEELINGS GOD DAMN IT”

The guy who shoved his way through a group at a summit to make sure he was in front for a photo-op.

The guy who bragged about walking in on a women’s dressing room.

The guy who gassed protesters so he could pose awkwardly with a Bible in front of a church.

That guy? Huh.

Y’all can keep your negativity circle jerk. I’ll worry about the things in my life I can actually control instead of constantly wasting my time and energy bitching on the Internet about a guy that I will never be able to influence on any way whatsoever.

Is that why you keep responding with vitriol, repeatedly, to people on the internet whose minds you cannot change?

I hope they had enough flowers to cover up the festering, rotting corpse smell.

Who am I kidding, there’s no way to cover Trump’s odor

Thanks for this, ordered mine

“But you just did! …wait!”

If only they’d caught him selling loose cigarettes
