    Facebook to me is terrible as a social media site but is also like a wonderful diary full of gossip and trash and crazy that I read like a novel.

    This is what has led me to hate most of humanity. Not just those people, but the people who enjoy watching it happen. How is that so entertaining? It’s like the people who watch honey boo boo, or nikki minaj or whatever…why do you find that trash entertaining instead of just hopelessly worrying?

      I spend a lot of time on Facebook dog whistling white supremacists to convince them that a vote for Joe Biden will kick off race war (and it works they vote for him!), as well as getting their accounts blown up for posting Nazi shit, as well as telling law enforcement on them. THAT’S depressing as fuck, so reading about sovereign citizens is my amusement.

        Holy shit. I love beating a shitty system using its own shitty methods.

        My blue state has closed primaries and I have less fear of a Haley presidency than The Trumpire Strikes Back. Do I change my party registration to Republican in order to finally make my vote count for once even though Haley’d shellack Biden?

        I mean…yeah that’s great and all, but aren’t you realizing that…you know…you’re sitting there reading Nazi shit and following a bunch of skinheads?

        Why keep that kind of company just for laughs?
