Perhaps. I’m related to a family of magats, and they love shopping in bulk. Many of their friends do too.

Many of them have this mindset that at some point everything in the world is going to break down and that they’re going to have to bunker down in their houses.

This is where my thoughts come from. I’ve never actually heard it correlated to the rapture itself though, but I figure that’s probably up there on the list.

It’d be pure irony if this isn’t a troll account. Conservatives love to buy in bulk as if they’re preparing for the apocalypse rapture. Costco and Sam’s are infested with them.

I haven’t had contact with my family for a while and I’m so much better for it.This Thanksgiving we slept in half the day, played music, napped some more and read.

Someone still protests occasionally regarding how I cut my family off, but she’s still too soft on conservatives. You have to understand that nothing you say will change their minds in most cases. If you could have changed them or made them see reason then you would have done so a long time ago. Yes they are misguided, yes the system is at fault for the creation of this cult, but there isn’t anything you can do either. Put your own mental health first.

It’s been threatened before. I just wish it would happen already. Surely there have been enough complaints about this woman at this point.

She fits every piece of criteria for disbarment too, not that we care about half of it of the most time, but it’s rare that you have someone who is this awful in every regard.

Not particularly.

There was so much to deal with back then. So many different rule sets to follow, so many differences in each community, so many sign-up and on-boarding processes for posting or contributing each.

I miss the internet itself from that time period, and I realize that there is a certain community feel that is missing due to how congregated the current internet is, but I still don’t really miss forums specifically all that much.

My wife begged to go to family gatherings the first year we were together even though I told her exactly what they were like and insisted I would rather do anything else.

It only took one holiday season for her to understand, and we no longer have to tolerate this.

It might be, but it was posted a couple of days ago as well apparently.

It’s not entirely surprising. This administration has some of the worst representation that I have ever seen.

The vast majority of their victories in the courts have been due to corruption.

This is just what I’ve heard, but apparently 67 comes from a rap song called Doot Doot by Skrilla. The 67 is a reference to the 10-67 police code for a report of death.

Allegedly. I doubt the kids are saying it for any reason though.

Thought I was in the boring dystopia community instead. I suppose I’ll just continue to hope that this is too impractical to happen or that those responsible aren’t competent enough to make it happen.

Yet another reason to despise AI. Animals deserve to be safe too. We’ve already taken so much from them as it is.

I thought about making a bluesky account, but it doesn’t entirely feel all that safe when conservatives are freely posting their misinformation over there too without any pushback.

Where else are people going besides here?

Haven’t heard that name in a while. He used to help people with their homework on reddit, it’d be cool if he came over here.

Times have changed since then though. Modern public infrastructure is a lot better suited for troop movements compared to the 1700s and 1800s when there was plenty of revolutions occurring across Europe. People seem to have this idea that they’re going to take out their guns and start guerrilla warfaring massive groups of armed troops.

I do believe we need to be more aggressive, more proactive, but there is a good chance that it might be expected. It’s entirely possible that they’re just waiting for an excuse to start gunning people down in the streets.

World Wars are for the war machine fanatics. That’s really where it starts for a lot of people.

The American Civil War is mostly where you’ll find revisionists and southerners, but there are also true enthusiasts. There’s a lot of discussion in regards to the Mexican-American War priming the country for the Civil War, or discussion regarding the politics of the time and it’s impact on the course of the war.

Falklands? I want to assume that if you’re British then you’d like to forget this ever happened. Although the war did result in the disposal of a dictator and brought a country into the folds of democracy even if it had to occur over what is essentially a colonial territory dispute.

French and Indian War? I’d just say you enjoy colonial era history? Or you’re currently living in the area that it occurred.

They control the voting machines now. As if we’re ever getting another chance.

His mother shall not be pleased with this.

Void cats are precious and should be treasured. I love mine.

Same, I’m rooting for the seagull, assuming that’s what they’re going for.
