When I first read 1984 I thought it overly exaggerated how quickly people forgot or were willing to forget the cost and availability of chocolate rations and who they were at war with. I also thought that most people in first-world countries had reached the psychological level of self-actualization.

Now I see that I was wrong on both counts.

Also because of government bodies intentionally not counting correctly the first time.

I remember a leftist holding a "conversation" over lunch at work once. In the middle of the lecture, they outed themselves as not even abiding by one of their own talking points, followed by shrugging it off like it was funny.

Almost all of lunch conversation at work is uninteresting fluff anyway...though it's nice to have someone at the table with a sense of humor who knows it's fluff and takes it into silly places that people on soapboxes don't know how to deal with.

then they move onto another nicer area where they repeat the process again

Pretty much what's going on in the states too. After the lockdowns pushed the tech sector to widely adopt telecommuting, lefties realized they could move to small cities while still making big city money.

I started seeing stories come up about techies complaining about how the places they moved to didn't have the amenities they expected, how they were too churchy and politically far-right, and even one story that I didn't think was possible: Drag queens hosting an event in a small Texas town. I saw a picture of it and I recall seeing armed guards.

Hey now, Goodfellow is a very popular Indian name! Just like Greg, Steve, Richard and all the other offshore Microsoft tech support employees trying to help you buy Target gift cards.

You can't even build a little voxel house in it! And Robux can't buy you anything! There's not even a Royale mode or MCU skins...what's up with that!?!?

Damn. Looks like the Trump campaign will have to pack up and go home because someone called JD Vance in a high school photo "weird."

They hate God.

I watched it, and I still rewatch it every once in a big while. Even got my college roommates excited to watch it when I summarized it as a story about a band of time traveling midgets and a British kid.

I guess big media ran out of popular IP's to destroy and are now going after the less popular IP's.

"We were unaware, but we're okay with it because vote blue no matter who."

It's gotten real bad with the Mr. Beast story. Content creators are shitting out 10-15 minute videos commentating other content creators' videos. What's even more irritating is they pad at least two minutes with "Now I'm not a lawyer, and I don't want to go into what actually happened, and I'm not accusing anyone of anything, and I'm not going to use the proper description of the crime because I may get deplatformed..." and my favorite "You should go watch the original video...also if you haven't watched my last video on this, you absolutely should..."

He was late getting to his university where he was about to do a lecture on a new super drug he invented that could not only cure most known diseases but also be an alternative fuel source for cars and airplanes.

I've never seen a thin person drink Diet Coke.

Barney Frank looked disgusting–nipples protruding–in his blue shirt before Congress. Very very disrespectful.

North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the "Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times." Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!

I hope he gets addicted again.

Get gold or get six feet under.

They still need to get sued for breaking and entering at the very least. So what if they're immune to it; make it go through the courts and keep the light on those cockroaches.

And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God.

Mark 10:18

You could take a redditor on a nature hike and they would find racism under at least half the rocks on the ground...assuming they don't cry because they're not in a city first.

Tomorrow probably:

Franz Weldenreich...was a German anatomist and physical anthropologist...

I think a lot of candidates hate free speech in general but are savvy enough to not just come out and say it. They'll even vote against laws inspired by it should it mean political suicide.

For them, Walz is a bellwether to see if the proverbial frog knows its slowly boiling in water. And if Walz doesn't get serious pushback then, well, I hope we can afford lawyers for the inevitable day we're brought up on charges of hate speech.

I'll never forget during Kyle Rittenhouse seeing a clip of some of them shouting anti-police slurs, then after the gunshots, shouting "Help! Police!!!"

Yet another reason I avoid reddit except for watching the regards on WSB try to one-up each other's stupidity when big market news hits, and seeing if they took down /detrans yet:

"Welcome to /cats_with_black_fur_and_a_white_spot_on_their_heads! This board is for discussion of cats with black fur that have a white spot of fur on their head.

Top post: Walz and Kamala are totally going to crush the Trump ticket. This election is over!"

For clarity I refer to that say "Soyence"

I haven't played Sims anything since I stopped with Sims Online. A friend of mine who played along with was a natural born troll; he would do things like pee on other peoples' floors and tell them to clean it up because it's their house. Then he'd go and set fireworks off in the backyard and start fires until they kicked him out.

Good times.

Oi! You got a loicense to be a nana!? No!!? Up against the wall you prat!!! And is that your peach pie cooling off on the windowsill without written permission? You're going in the hole for that!

I would so love to see Google putting up a new animated olympics graphic on their front page of a big muscular bird punching a smaller bird off the screen. I would die of keking.
