New World Disorder is pretty damn accurate. It used to be fun and sometimes, intimidating, to believe there's a huge threat of this new world order that'll take us by storm. Unsurprisingly, they're mostly rich fucks in high power who are just smart enough to know a gullible moron when they see once. Hence, Trump.
Wal-Mart loves doing this. Anyone who works there know that it's all over the splash screen on Walmart One. "DOUG MCMILLON WANTS TO TALK ABOUT YET ANOTHER STRONG QUARTER!". And the shitshow of podcasts and whatever the fuck they run also want to talk about it.
Yet you're going around shopping and finding yourself debating as to what to shop for because almost everything is fucking marked up.
Advertisers and Marketers are hurrying now as to how to make advertisements on the road in this fashion and on the main road. You fucking wait.
You'll have a flattening tire and your car drives over this particular groove and it's going to be something for AAA insurance or something.
Pretty pointless.

Buddy, this is the internet. As far as the vastness of the internet goes, you're just as much of a nobody as people claiming I am. You pretend there is this elite sector of the internet somewhere where people with lots of karma or account history amount to something when it is nothing. I've been online for 29 going 30 years and I probably outrank you by that standard alone. But I don't go around telling people "HAY ERRYBODEH! I'VE BEEN ONLINE FOR 29 YEARS SO I'M MORE SPECIAL THAN YOU...AND YOU...AND YOU!"
Because no one cares. Okay? No. One. Cares. You're just initiating dick-measuring contests to inflate ego. I don't need your validation or permission like the other person seems to think so, to articulate what opinions I have. Deal with it.
What's that got to do with anything? What does account age have to do with anything or are you just unnecessarily flexing to make yourself feel special?
That's like some 30 year old going up to a 13 year old and flexing because of where they are in life. It's just...pointless.
Not even Linux users are safe. What was that promise Valve made some years ago? That they'd keep Steam running regardless of the OS version? Man have they U-turned on that shit.
Wow are the salt levels high, are you guys mining right now? Take a chill pill, christ. No wonder nobody takes linux gamers seriously.
To add to that, men were also turned to anime male figures like Kenshiro from the Fist of North Star as a key example that it is okay for men to cry. When for a long ass time, it was frowned upon for men to cry or show emotion.
I'm going to disagree with a few things here.
I don't really see why people continue to blame the lockdown for why it has impacted socializing. There has been socially inept people before a pandemic took over so I really can't see how this in anyway has had a strict and exclusive cause. Men in general, for years and years, have always had an awkward approach when it comes to females and it has only worsened.
I wouldn't just put the magnifying glass on 4chan when Reddit and Kiwi Farms are just as bad if not worse.
The one key thing also to add is that, there had been fictional and even non-fictional mediums where women were seen as superior over and than that of men. It didn't really help matters and only just fueled the opposition to behave, think and act the way men do today.
Same reason people flocked to Trump to vote for him, this false idealization that he was this bold, bright and strong leader.
Same reason people worshiped Musk, thinking he was and is the future with all of the money to do it.
It's like any or all qualities of themselves that they lack or devoid of educating themselves or learning. They replace it with blind devotion.
Software. I'm in a time right now where finding alternatives is almost a must for me since things I have long leaned on, have gone the direction of just plain shit.
My dog's death. I had to put him down over 14 years ago. And while the first 6 years was honestly tough to hard in that process, after that point, it steadily got easier to accept. I don't ever plan to replace him, though.
Losing relationships, even the bad ones. It's been 3 years since I had actually been with someone. But I think what really just kept stinging me and making me reluctant to try again was that the last three relationships I had been in, I was really pouring into what I thought was my best in resources, time and effort. Yet they ultimately weren't enough because of both circumstances out of my control and not really knowing someone's true colors until after the fact just ruined it all.
The thing with "lessening the pain" is that there isn't one key solution that is applicable to everyone's problems. Some people simply just - got over it, however they did. Others, leaned on hobbies, inspiration and influence. People with different approaches and handling.
America is going to realize how much they've relied on other countries to make their things, so that they can come here and be marketed in superfluous values.
Until I see it realistically happen, he's staying. It is all theater.
