I thought that was about ET

This is what happens when you meet a stranger in the Alps, Larry!

Ok buddy. Have a nice night and enjoy enabling fascism 👍

I’ve already told you. Your “third time” statement implies that there will be an election in the future when he’s promised no more voting.

I’m just saying - people hear what he says and they immediately discount it or think “surely it won’t be as bad as he’s saying,” but it nearly always is. I don’t think that you are completely ignoring his promises, but you’re giving him more slack than you should, and that’s one of the reasons we’re in this mess (not because of you specifically, just people in general).

I agree; however, he has promised no more elections. My point is that he keeps saying he’s going to do all this crazy shit and nobody ever believes him, and then he does it. So you should start believing him.

You’re also implying there will be an election

Why does everyone keep saying “third time”? There will likely be no more times. He’s already promised everyone that they’ll never have to vote again. Why do people keep thinking he’ll do less damage than he’s promised?

I hate ice in my soda. Takes up space that should be soda.

But I’m glad you get your water intake

Damn. That’s a lot of 2 liters. You drink water too though right?

True. It was good tho

That’s actually pretty incredible. I don’t think I’ve seen a can since 1997

I like that diet rite is the only one that’s not a parody

Thanks, I’ve been working on losing weight.

Not really.

Are you calling me a skinny liar?

I can’t see under the water, because I’m in my bed

This chick loooves pissing

You should repost versions of this in different communities with the I and E swapped just to fuck with people

Edit: wait a sec was it already like that? I could’ve sworn it was the other way around when I left this comment.

I do agree with the main point of your post; however, I feel that your reasoning is backwards.

Big blockbusters give the masses a dose of placebo. You see a movie where people who hold your values win, so you feel like it happened in real life, so you’re less likely to make it happen in real life.

So I’m not spoiling this movie, look at the MCU instead: They defeated Thanos and stopped half the world’s population from disappearing, and then we failed to properly fight COVID and Donald Trump gained power.

Now, I know correlation doesn’t equal causation, and that there were other factors at play, but I also know that when you perceive the image of something, it activates the same neurons as actually seeing that thing - when you watch The Notebook or Armageddon, you feel the emotions of the characters in the film, and you cry.

That, combined with the other psychological tactics that we are constantly being bombarded with, make it difficult for us to navigate the world with a clear head. When you feel like you’re winning, why would you fight?

And also, a TON of people are straight apathetic, and a lot more are just plain-old stupid. And there are dozens or hundreds of other factors such as personality of the audience, socioeconomics, religious beliefs, etc… that come into play here as well. It’s not quite as cut-and-dry as “monkey see, monkey feels as though it has done,” but that does play a large factor in it.

I typed all this but didn’t proofread any of it, so I hope it makes sense. I’m sleepy.
