You know something is seriously wrong when educational institutions starts to get referred as "battlefields"

I just saw a youtube ad for a kroger delivery simulator in roblox with children excitedly describing it as training for a future job. They sounded about 10 years old, max.

What the fuck dystopian hellscape are we in right now?

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

Utterly devastated by the election results.

Things felt so hopeful yesterday. I was truly expecting a Harris victory it felt like the Harris campaign had some good momentum and enough people excited that they could win this

I don’t know how I’m going to get through the work day. I just keep crying. I am so not in the mood to deal with petty adult temper tantrums today

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

FUCK PEOPLE WHO VOTED TRUMP. I hate you with all my heart and I hope you burn in hell.

but most importantly, FUCK PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T VOTE KAMALA HARRIS.

You thought you fucking did something by not voting, well guess what, this is partially your fault. You allowed this to happen. By not voting for Trump’s opponent, you let him win. I hope you’re fucking happy with yourself. Good fucking job.

Now everyone will suffer the consequences of your actions. Not only you americans, but people outside of the US as well.

You thought you stopped a genocide supporter, but you allowed another one, who by the way is much much worse, to come into power (AGAIN). You keep talking about how the system needs to be changed or whatever, and you joke about overthrowing the government, and that votes change nothing. Yet you don’t do anything. You want a revolution? Then fucking start one. Come on, change the system. Overthrow the government, go ahead. “Both candidates are evil and I don’t want either to be president!” THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Oh, you don’t actually want to do that? It sounds scary and impossible to achieve? Then you better at least fucking vote next time. Make a difference.

You achieved nothing, and only made things worse.

Love the contrast between the Americans’ “Apollo” and the Soviets’ “Sputnik.” You got the Americans naming their rocket after a Greek god trying to communicate the grandness and importance of this rocket. And you got the Soviets naming their rocket “fellow traveler.” Like a friend you go on an  adventure with together. This rocket is our little friend lol

Getting a little tired of people who move to Germany from abroad and then complain about the "rude customer service"... when it's literally just neutral customer service.

Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of rude customer service here too - but I'm talking about someone in a café who doesn't smile at you, or answers only the question you asked without volunteering more information. That's just... normal, my dudes. That's neutrality.

And the fact that people working in customer service in this country can be neutral - can be real human beings who don't necessarily feel like beaming and fawning all day every day - without having to fear losing their job for it... I think that's pretty great. And that's a big part of the reason I moved here, and the reason I feel more comfortable in this society than in the US.

I studied Germany for years before making the big decision to move here (I literally majored in German Studies in the US), and I visited this country multiple times, for increasing amounts of time, before making the big move. I knew (to a degree) what I was getting myself into, and therefore I've never regretted it.

But I meet multiple people every year - newcomers to Berlin whom I already know won't last - who decided to move here spontaneously, based on very little knowledge of the country or culture (let alone the language). And then they get so shocked and disappointed by Germany being... German... that they soon leave again. WHYYYYYYY

the finnish food tasting segment finally dropped and there is quite literally nothing funnier than maffhew who desires the approval and opinion of his great beloved captain in what he considers him an expert in aka finland so honestly does his opinion really matter in the grand scheme of things if sasha doesnt like said food?

match made in terrible eating manner heaven, amen

i cannot believe i'm still seeing the same "tdp encourages colonialist mindsets" bullshit after a season where Ezran (one of the core good guys) is explicitly like "Ripping apart families by exiling humans and reaffirming borders is wrong," that the initial exiling of humanity was ALWAYS wrong (it literally Broke the continent in two and has to be slowly repaired over the course of every season, the symbolism could not be more overt) and no one in text has EVER indicated otherwise except Karim (a villain!! who's wrong about everything!!), that made it clear that humans not having magic was a Conscious Choice that Unjust Beings made that has been in the process of being rightfully dismantled since season 2.

AND the fact that TDP does talk about colonialism, just through a centring of non-North American/white based history. like i WONDER what could be going on in the world RIGHT NOW about critiquing a viewpoint (that the villains hold at their worst!!) of "well this was our ancestral homeland and we got Banished from it so taking it 'back' by Any Means Necessary (cue magic system where you treat the people still living there as literal parts) is Okay actually bc we're Oppressed (and can't organ harvest without consent whenever we want)" like.
