Hexbear

It's paradise for lost Redditors.

The more I think about it...

Biden represents the last acceptable Democrat on all fronts, and that's mostly because of Obama. Which is weird to think about. I think you're first paragraph infers a greater point: there's no one sitting on the bench that can satisfy the party apparatus while garnering any mainstream appeal.

Conversely, Trump is the only widespread acceptable Republican and frankly, that's because he's not a Republican.

Post 2024 is going to be wild.

They'd probably put up Kamala to lose on purpose since anyone to the left of "Standard Democrat" is poison to the party. So yeah, hoist up Kamala, watch her lose spectacularly, then blame it on Republicans being racist and sexist.

They should make wrapping paper out of this so you can share what is arguably MLKs most important take about "open-minded" whites with the non-online LIBs in your life.

What's your favorite musical artist or group, and why is it Spandau Ballet?

It's hard to pick just one because, duh, capitalism is inherently a scam.

But if I were to pick just one, it'd have to be the airlines. They're beyond necessary yet every year they pull some insane shit and no one bats an eye. And no matter what they're always crying poor and merging merging merging. Can't you see, they have to - they have no choice.

First the food costs extra. Then the drinks. Then the bags you check in. Then they charge you to sit in the exit aisle because you get an extra 3 inches. They literally say now it's "impossible" to book two tickets seated together unless you pay an extra fee. Impossible, you say? How the fuck were you able to do it for so long up until 2022???

The first subscription I turned off is my gym membership 10 years ago. That was the first time I realized I was paying for air. With a few hundred dollars spread over years, I've amassed a pretty stellar home gym with machines and weights. Granted, the trade off is space.

In the digital age, really nothing. The wife has Netflix but nothing on that service does shit for me. I get a screen of Max from a close friend and in return she has access to my Plex, and I let her make requests when I go sailing the seas. Max has some ok stuff.

Anyhow, I do everything not to have a subscription to anything, minus my VPN. I also still buy blurays. Conversely, I haven't bought a physical video game in at least 5 years - so I've succumbed to convenience in that regard.

lol.

AOC is basically the larvae state of a future Nancy Pelosi.

Good for you - let it out. I didn't have anything specific happen to me. Over the last decade or so, I have become less enamored with social media. To a point where I one by one shed them all (or never signed up, as is the case with Twitter). Reddit was the last to go.

But yeah, I felt better after a week away. And even better after two weeks. I felt weird losing my "history" but looking back that was just my vanity. As if I contributed something of great meaning. Now that it's all gone I couldn't be happier.

Deleted Reddit awhile ago and find I'm far less stressed and anxious.
