Double-Negatives sound pointlessly made up. The more I look into about them, the more I just think how pointless it is.

But did you all really try or did some of you? I think some of you, not all of you.
Same. Every four years, I fight within myself on whether I should bother to vote. I’m an Independent voter and I base my decision by analyzing the political parties across the scope while realizing the reality of the world we’re living in alongside it.
And it gets tiring of the same old thing. I go and vote not Republican, I see some of the people in my circle vote Republican which makes me consider axing them to spare myself and they the drama of getting political. I get disparagingly cynical towards the American populace for their collective decision making or lack thereof considering we’re pitted again in this mess that’ll unfold in under a month.
I look at the ballots before making my predetermined choices - D, R, D, R, G, I in a blue moon, D, R like everywhere. Maybe I could’ve written someone in, maybe, but what good does that do except win meaningless brownie points?
Looking forward to another 4 years I’ll have a hard time remembering because of my mental efforts to block out the enormous amount of bullshit yet to come. Just like the last time between 2016 - 2021.
Yet will do nothing about their problems.
America is a country that leans so hard on the system of karma to do their bidding. The same kind of people that pray to a God they think the majority, including the politicians, are to behold themselves to.
The CEO shooting is just simply a one and a millionth chance of happening when it should’ve been a thing a long time ago. Yes, there had been instances of people taking their actions out on crooked management and maybe a ranking member of the corporate hierarchy. But not enough CEOs get their comeuppance.
I don’t hold much hope for Americans to do much for themselves. They’re willing to lose everything and allow themselves to lose everything while letting those that made them lose everything, gain everything.
More like Americans should just not vote anymore.
It’s trash in, trash out. Every election cycle. A bunch of old farts scheming and playing the system to get to the ballots. All of the young ambitious politicians barely get a sniff and fall apart during the primaries.
It’s happened over and over and over.
Polls don’t mean shit. The only polls Americans should’ve given more of a fuck about, were the election ones!
Too fucking late.
Bodycam videos.
I mean, if you think your life is shit? Go watch a handful of police bodycam videos. Look at how many ways people turn their lives upside down. Turning traffic violations into felonies. Multiple felons on the run. Getting shot. And an assortment of other active crimes right before your eyes.
You sometimes just wonder how bad of a life they’ve made themselves live in, compared to yours.
Everyone knows that if I want something, it had better be useful or meaningful. Anything less, I’m discarding.
XMas just makes me feel exhausted and wishing it’d be over. I’ve steadily grown less and less festive over the years. I just can’t get that worked up, every year, over any holiday. And XMas is the worst of it because it’s everywhere all around you. You can’t go anywhere or listen to anything or talk to anyone without it ever being brought up.
I’m tired of the pressure to buy this or buy that. I’m tired of this month long pause with people because of how hyperfocused they are to celebrate a holiday that’s been so tainted by capitalism that any spirit left over has been drained.
It’s cooler how you’ve just demonstrated how dumb you truly are.
These are not the same jews from 80+ years ago. How generations have changed and the well has been poisoned. I sympathize not with today’s Jews and today’s Israel as I would for the Jews and Israel of generations past.
A hundred years?
More like it’s taken at least 50 of our current years, we’re just at the peak. We’re saying, as a society, that hey! You can be a convicted felon AND be president AND suffer almost NO consequences! Hey! You can be the richest person in the world and do whatever the fuck you want without repercussions!
It’s being normalized, unfortunately, in the now.
Spez knows he is at the mercy of some of these same kinds of CEOs. Then again, Spez only cares about Spez and cares little of the Reddit community.
Disagree. Children are over-prioritized.
Grow up and stop being a sensationalist.
To be quite honest, I’ve not made a single bit of effort in making a will, nor have I decided on life insurance nor have I made any arrangements to heirs or anything else. My family is beyond trusting, to me, so that is entirely out the window regarding them. And another thing is that my ‘retirement’ plan is a plan of permanence at my own discretion, so the thought of making a will or having life insurance is on the bottom of a priority list.
My main concerns when I decide my time is up, is where I’m going to be and how much I want to leave behind and for whom. That’s pretty much it.
How little of a fuck you give for modern times and just live in the past.
I’ve not recalled an instance where employers go through your social media. First, it’s none of their business and second, they don’t even know where to look because I haven’t shared or told them. What they should be concerned with is whether I’ve committed any crimes or if I have anything that jumps out at them that makes them consider or not consider me. Social Media should never be a determinable factor.
Any dumb and vaguely open-ended advice. Like “just be yourself”.
What if you’re improving yourself because the real you sucked? Do you just give that all up and return to what you were? Whoever first said that piece of advice, obviously didn’t think it through enough.
And nothing will be done anyways, sooooo…
