Just a reminder, the GQP mouthpiece Faux News called Mister Rogers evil: https://youtu.be/29lmR_357rA
Except fascists, they don't deserve shit except for a bullet in the face.

Let'em think about what they've done for a while
Nah best to just get it over with gotta lead by example my friend; the extra cruelty won't help anyone.
Hehe lead
Haven't had worthwhile thoughts thus far, a stretch to think they'd find new ones in the time left.
Help replace the lost funding. $5/month or $60/year to your local station gets you access to PBS Passport streaming.
If you want to, you can donate more when you sign up, those are just the minimums.
Don't dead open inside.
I agree.
Let's just also agree to exclude my ex wife from this though. She can aspirate a Lego.
Everything okay at home, bud?
No.
There's not a lot of social activities I can't currently participate in (that might improve soon), and the local population is too low for app dating to be realistic (if it is anyway?)
I'm just in a really weird mental place. Finally divorced, but still recovering from her cheating on me 5 years ago.
I learned a lot about the 15 years leading up to that. She was never really into me. She isolated me. She changed my social habits. She found ways to hurt my self esteem. She gaslit me, convinced me I was wrong about what a healthy relationship was, I was incapable of being a good father, I didn't take on enough responsibility, I restricted her access to my resources. She love bombed me, so it trained me into accepting her statements.
I was stupid and tried to make it work. 3 years after she cheated on me, I caught her sexting with a guy, who she admitted was the guy she cheated on me with. I was 216 lbs at that point. In a few months I skyrocketed to 288.
I've since made a lot of improvements. We separated. We divorced. I'm down to 193 lbs, and and its muscle (unfortunately being fat stretches your skin too much to make that muscle nice and prominent, but it's there). But I'm still 34. I don't have connections to single people. I'm still fighting the abusive attachment, and I wonder if it's because I don't see an alternative.
TL;DR: No
I genuinely thought the future would be a better place if so many kids grew up watching the same shit I did.
It makes no sense to me how you can stare at PBS programming for hours a day without a choice or be able to scroll or grab a controller, then grow up to like, cheer on people being put in concentration camps.
It makes me really feel like our species is hopeless. We would have maybe another 100,000 years of evolution in perfect circumstances to be the species that even all wants better outcomes together. We don't even want that. We're nowhere CLOSE to the Star Trek socialist utopia that poor sci-fi writers imagine we could be and will never have it in our present shape.
Even the average "progressive" who reads this site every day is isolated socially, despises some group of people, maybe for good reasons but besides the point, it's our default mode of operation because we're the same fucking monkey that bashed our neighboring tribe's skulls in and took their jerky and berries for half a million years or more before some of them started inventing waterwheels and money.
