Not much of a replacement.

It is known.

It’s a little sexual. But just a little.

This was a long, but great read. Listen to this man. I have had similar experiences and outcomes, though not nearly as deep as the OP above me.

I like the subtle use of the two different color backgrounds to indicate a frame/perspective shift from within the same room. Well done.

Unlike the actual guy this meme is based on, yes.

The thing is, it shouldn’t matter how big your penis is. But the people that care are typically the Maga fascist macho dipshits, so it’s a way to attack their fragile male ego.

People who have confidence and empathy and have an equal relationship with women know penis size doesn’t really matter.

While absolutely awesome and I support and encourage this in every way; that’s less than 1% of the population of the US.

What if you recommended a smaller instance and they get hugged to death and it ruins the experience for everyone else on that instance?

Though, to be fair, world is already pretty hammered

Fuck that last line slaps. Going to steal that for the future mate.

Your mind still has those experiences. He’ll still look back at this fondly, even if drunk. At the least, it’ll add to his life experiences so he knows how to control his drinking better in the future if he wants to remember the experience.

A lot of people start off on a major instance, then after finding and vibing with another instance, can move to that.

There’s tons of tools and things that allow for transfer of subscriptions and everything else so changing instances isn’t a big deal.

The important thing is to get them on Lemmy first.

I work in the library system. This is so stupid and will do so much damage. Fuck musk and trump. Fuck them in their traitor nazi fascist narcissistic stupid face.

Edit: is there some sort of pro trump/musk bot that just goes around downvoting anything negative said about them or something?

Jesus dude, sorry to hear that. Sincerely.

I know it doesn’t feel like it now, but things will get better. It will take time, and I know you’ve heard that before, but I promise you it’s true. It will take longer than you think, but each day will get a little easier than the next. Stay the course, and know that it will get better.

It’s OK to feel helpless, and like your whole life is over, but I promise you it’s not. And it’s also OK to feel suicidal, that’s normal unfortunately. Please reach out to someone to talk to, a friend, a counselor, or hell, call 988 for the hotline to talk to someone about it. It helps.

You will get through this, your kids will still love you as long as you prioritize their well being and spend time with them whenever you can. The marriage collapsing is not your fault, it always takes 2 and your spouse is just as responsible.

It’s going to take time to figure all this out. Like real time, on the scale of years. Humans are stronger than we think to recover from things like this, it just takes time.

Rules for thee.

Unfortunately the damage has been done. Even if it’s reverses, most foreign investors aren’t coming back to the US market

I should have been clearer, apologies. I understand the article is fake, I just hate that she finds this even remotely funny or felt the need to share in any way.

True. Though they’re idiots if they think that crashing the economy will create a “dip” that they can buy back in with.

This isn’t a March 2020 market crash caused by some mysterious impersonal virus.

This is him intentionally killing trade agreements that are practically unrecoverable, and the market reacting to that. The market will not bounce back. Our market was largely based on trade. That period is over now. No trade will be happening, not anywhere near the amounts previous.

The market can’t recover from a policy shift towards chaotic fascism. Because our foreign allies have long memories and China’s been waiting for a moment just like this to take over from the US as the world superpower.

Yup, and now the world suffers because of democrats unwillingness to say or do anything that might give the impression that they’re making anything even remotely a political attack.

This isn’t a temporary crash. This is upending trade policies that took 75+ years to establish and work out. Using the post WW2 reconstruction of global currency that we practically dictated to the world. We put ourselves in a position of unparalleled power in the new world economy by convincing everyone in the world that we were a stable and trustworthy government who wouldn’t ever betray them.

You can’t bring that back by just “dropping” tariffs.

There’s a literal boycott on US goods right now across the world. Nobody’s buying our shit, and I don’t blame them.

We’re intentionally fucking up the global economy, for absolutely no fucking reason, other than this dementia addled dipshit thinks trade is bad and tariffs are good.

That’s literally the closest thing to saying the earth is flat, from an economists standpoint.

This is going to take DECADES to recover from. If the market is lucky.

We just shot ourselves in the foot with a Russian donated AK-47 on full auto and didn’t let off the trigger until both of our feet were just shredded piles of bone and meat, and the ricochets also caught all of our friends standing next to us in their feet as well. Not as badly as we shot ourselves, but more than they were expecting I suspect.
