His jokes about Germany and being German gets repetitive, but i can’t deny that he still makes me laugh everytime!

AI written works are also so stupid. It feels soulless. Indeed, I think authors could command premium for royalty and copyright because human written literature will be priceless.

This is why I love videogames instead.

The Battlefield series are the only games I played from EA. I stopped after 4.

I think at this stage it’s children who are easily impressionable and using their parent’s credit cards to buy EA games, is the company’s customer base. EA hasn’t produced a good game for a long awhile. Battlefield games had been the only games I played much before 2020, but since then I stopped caring about EA.

Good thing I boycott Starbucks.

For me, being apolitical implies someone is full aware of the political developments, but chooses not to take sides or form well thought views. The people I mentioned are more apathetic, as in they don’t bother at all being updated even with the slightest news.

It’s not even being apolitical. Some people are naturally sensitive and easily feel depressed with negativity, so they avoid the news. Or that they are too preoccupied with their personal lives that they don’t have time to tune in to the news. I’m sure many of you know someone who are out of the loop with even just the most basic current events. I know someone who only heard about the invasion of Ukraine only two days later after it happened.

If you believe passive electoralism is going to work, there’s going to be a rude awakening. Brazil and South Korea had only been more active nipping fascism in the bud because they experienced it first hand and know fascism when they see one. The opposition actively ran on opposing authoritarians. Americans, on the other hand, is yet to experience it directly. I mean, Americans are still splitting hairs about Donald Trump. I believe he will try to undermine the upcoming midterms. If not, he will fight to prevent the presidential elections from happening in 2028.

Fascism doesn’t respond to “please” and “thank you”.

I never heard of Buccees before but YouTuber Joe Scott hyped it up. But he’s Texan so of course he’s proud.

Johnson: What should we call this, Vlad?

Putin: Limited operation

Doing those is not unreasonable, but not even having a bank account is way too far. I know of someone, who was later diagnosed with autism and doesn’t have a job due to condition, initially didn’t want a bank account for fear of online snooping.

Minimising digital footprint is perfectly fine, but trying to be off the grid and yet wants to participate in society and still engage in consumption is unreasonable. And this thinking isn’t just on one person, I saw many users in Reddit privacy stressing themselves out in trying to completely wipe off their digital footprints. Unless you participate in political activities, or really just wants to live completely isolated in a forest, being off the grid is totally unreasonable.

What do you mean holding hostage? Republicans, along with breakaway Dems who are convenient scapegoats, had just gutted healthcare and other public services-- which literally disaffects everyone! And this will have generational consequences. How are Democrats holding America hostage when they are complicit?

Because the long term consequences are far more dire? Chuck Schumer is among the most unpopular politicians for a reason.

Americans has not known what sacrifice means since the US civil war and Second World War.

The then South Korean opposition wasn’t in power at the time, and yet they spearheaded the impeachment and eventual arrest and prosecution of their previous wannabe dictator, who insurrected a coup to prevent him being impeached. Brazil got lucky that their Brazilian Supreme Court was found to be corrupt and aligned with the previous authoritarian Bolsonaro, which led to the replacement of the judges. The new judges along with the other branches of government and opposition prosecuted Bolsonaro.

Brazil and SK opposition prosecuted their dictators to the fullest authority of their laws. The US? They’re spineless. Even after Trump’s insurrection and after Biden took power, all the US branches failed to prosecute Trump and the Democrats did not hold him accountable. He regained power as a result.

The truth isn’t about who holds the seats, it’s whether or not politicians and bureaucrats have the political will. The American population have been conditioned to stick to “decorum”, even though the opponent is playing dirty and not playing by the rules. The difference is that Brazil and South Korea experienced dictatorship so they know to call a spade-- a spade. The US, hasn’t experienced dictatorship, and to be blunt, after exporting to other nations; and couldn’t tell that it’s dictatorship after throwing it and returned to the hand that threw.

And distract people from the Epstein files.
