Pick a scab and they fall off.

I dunno, seems like all the shitty actors and writers are striking.

Good thing, imo. The faster we can replace them with AI, the better.

Bill Maher wasn’t complaining about the “crystal generation” not long ago? He folded?

Crystal Generation?

He said that millennials complain too much and are always on the brink of a nervous breakdown and how boomers needed to be in charge. So I guess one crystal by itself even though sharp isn’t much of a threat. But when they are together is pretty dangerous like the cave of swords in Mexico.

I wonder if you missed the part where we Millennials are on the brink of a nervous breakdown, because the boomers are in charge

Literally the only thing that makes Maher not a conservative in the US is that he’s anti-religon. In any other developed country, he’s comfortably a right wing conservative.

Plus, regardless of political leanings, he’s an asshole.

I could never put my finger on why Bill Maher pissed me off so much and has such a small audience compared to other so-called “liberal” commentators - it’s because he’s an asshole that pisses off the left and right equally, but for entirely different reasons. Thanks.

this is why it kinda annoys me when people are like ‘posting doesn’t actually do anything’ – true, sure, but sometimes it kinda can, sometimes, and making your voice and argument heard is better than being silent

That’s like saying ‘communicating doesn’t do anything.’

It’s just a tactic from bad actors to convince people they shouldn’t be fighting back.

Posting definitely does things. It just needs to reach a lot of people and the right people.
