Line em up and cut a third off both apples in one go? Everyone gets 2/3? Seems simple right? Consider the core. I don’t think it’s possible if you consider the core. You have to kill one of your friends.

I know that there are words like this that I struggle with but I don’t remember which ones. I can’t fathom knowing a word like this, knowing I can’t spell it, and just like… being okay with that? Like bro, do what little kids do. Write it down on a piece of paper ten times. Spell it out loud. It takes 3 minutes to permanently commit it to memory. You’re gonna let first graders be better at this than you, an adult, with a fully developed brain?
I feel like you’re intentionally misunderstanding me at this point, or you only skimmed what I wrote. Nobody said do nothing. I said post memes when it’s time to post memes and post politics when it’s time to post politics. Either way I’m not interested in continuing this conversation if it’s going to involve Reddit-level obstinance.
I would like you to read my reply to the other reply, please.
It’s just kind of… Completely irrelevant to the post? And absolutely nothing I’m not already painfully aware of, not even a single sentence I haven’t already read 100 times in slightly different wording?
I understand that nearly everyone is in a panicked state and that this stuff is at the top of their mind at all times here, but that mental state is representative of someone who is, more or less, already fully defeated. It is needless and actually harmful to bring politics into every context unprompted and the reason is actually plainly obvious if you take a step back.
Someone who spends all their time broiling in anxiety has no energy to put up an actual fight. Spreading ideas and calls to action is a valid form of resistance but this is the social media equivalent of hugging your knees and rocking back and forth while sobbing in a corner. People who care need to use their limited energy wisely in ways that will have appreciable impact. What this kind of posting does is reduce other people’s capacity to engage.
My parents, for example, have chosen to completely disengage from politics because they see that their peers who are tapped in have become frantic and ineffectual.
Effective communication requires you to acknowledge that it isn’t universally relevant in all contexts. It requires you to recognize that both you and your peers need to recharge sometimes.
It’s fine by me, I just can’t stand the british elitism
Holy shit dude touch grass
I love a rant as much as the next guy but this is a meme
Also, did you know aluminum is the original word for the metal? The aluminium spelling was invented by British people after the fact simply because they thought it sounded better. Now they act like we’re illiterate for leaving out the second “i”
My mom wouldn’t let me touch these
