This is just it. Narcissists are miserably self-loathing, and they distract from tackling with it by focusing on others. The longer they can keep scapegoating and projecting and crazymaking, the longer they don't have to think about themselves or accept that they have a problem.

As a kid I always thought a lot of stuff taught was like, duh, so obvious. It took being thrown in the adult world to see hmm... I guess... not obvious enough???

I finally dumped Windows for KDE Neon on my desktop and my Surface about 5 months ago now. Never looked back.

Yeah because these comments are totally getting buried /s You have to make a first post at some point, and it's gonna be something you're passionate about.

Okay but now I'm imagining The Matrix, where everyone still in the Matrix are human, and everybody who escaped are Muppets. When Neo escapes, he is still human.

In addition to the mentions that this isn't encrypted, doesn't have video chat, etc, it's also difficult to set up with little documentation and an enormous tech stack. They also had some recent controversy about open source licensing that gives me a bit of worry. I decided to go with a self-hosted synapse server.

Wait wait wait, you said it was a gay man that was stabbed? Sorry, my hands are tied. Playbook says gay guys can't get stabbed.

This generational hatred will never end.

Were millennials not brainrotted when we were younger? We watched The Annoying Orange and Charlie the Unicorn. The most subscribed YouTube channel was Fred.

The Innuendo Studios series' on YouTube Alt-Right Playbook and Why Are You So Angry especially illustrate this well and I highly recommend watching. It's very similar to what happened during gamergate. A lot of men who are frustrated are misled by these reactionary campaigns. Just like everyone else, they face the struggles of patriarchy, toxic masculinity, capitalism, etc. But Andrew Tate tells them it's not their fault, and reassures their insecurities that they're good guys, and tells them that the problem is women.

That's right, everybody knows that the left and the right are perfectly equally bad, and the act of voting to stop the bleeding and starting a revolution are mutually exclusive /s

And then after years of this nonsense, people wonder how the poor voter turnout that got the fascist elected happened.

Starts with "no, it wasn't EXACTLY the same salute because his wrist angle is 0.0001 degrees different"

Then "no, he was just being sarcastic, no one can just be ironic anymore"

Then "okay but it's not that bad, he's not literally putting people in concentration camps"

Then "okay but it wasn't my fault, I'm a good person"

My last ISP demanded I use an Eero router that had no web interface, it was only accesible via an app.
