It’s worse than that. I’m affraid of these things sometimes too. They are affraid of being affraid. They can’t handle it, they can’t admit it and they do everything ti disguise it. It’s a very primal emotion

It’s not about how much of a threat he is, but it’s about the friends we made along the way.

Are you guys talking about Sigourney Weaver?

That’s all there is to it

I feel personally attacked. I identify myself with these memes.

What happens if you put it back into the drawer and forget about it? Asking for a friend

It’s all fun and games until someone gets neutered

Perfection is the enemy of progress

If I ever get expendable income, I might donate. But I don’t see that happening. I do buy some luxury stuff occasionally, because I just want to support the creator, like a calendar from Kurzgesagt or a book from Tibbees.

I can tell you aren’t using outlook

For now

Oh sweet memories

Also people are idiots, or at least easily influenced. If you ask someone “you dreamt such and such, right?” They’ll be more likely to agree with you than when you ask “What did you dream?”

The Borg

People do say “hi I’m from the US” and “hi I’m from canada”. They are both countries and people can tie their identity to it. There certainly are people who say “hi I’m from europe”, but not many. Europe also isn’t a country and doesn’t have the level of autonomy that the US and Canada (or Germany for that matter) have.

Blend in with the crowd

OP compares it to 80% of the population being workers, yet no-one is showing up for those rallys. I guess OP fails to see why workers do not feel the same urgency to attend rallys that lgbtq people do.

I see where OP is coming from. Workers are being treated increasingly worse, but there seems to be no collective response so far. Sure, workers are not being discriminated against and murdered (yet), but if that’s the standard for protests, it’s unreasonably high.

I think what OP means is that the invention if the photocamera left a lot of painters unemployed. Pralleling that to current times, where AI is threatening the jobs of many artists. Obviously still lives are still being made today, and a decade from now artists will likely still have a job as well, only the market is a lot smaller.

I agree with that, but “I’m from California” does have a different ring to it than “I’m from America”

I respect your craft as a troll, but… No, wait I don’t, go fuck yourself.

“Bright” is kind of a spectrum though. Sometimes a light is just bright enough that you can trigger a sneeze, but only if you focus on it. Other times that same light will almost trigger a sneeze with focus, but not go completely over the edge. That’s a very annoying feeling when that happens.
