…probably just relocating them to the department so they can change back into their cop uniforms.

2016 and the yeas since, but especially the US presidential election that just happened, have absolutely destroyed my faith in the people of my country.

Always figured the govt was fucked, but that the average Joe had a shred of good in him. After the bullshit of the 2016 election, the 4 disastrous years after, and the 4 years following of nonstop Nazi rhetoric from Trump… 74 million of my neighbors decided he’s the guy who represents them; and another 90 million or so decided not to lift a fucking finger to intervene.

No. Good people are a minority. I’m surrounded by hateful bigots who will go as far impairing their own quality of life if it means they can can harm others by doing so. This country and the majority of its inhabitants are evil. We deserve what’s coming.

Content outside of your immediate profile should be on a kill timer: after the time is up, it’s completely deleted.

I have some vague memories from around middle school, but pretty much nothing prior to that.

Highschool and later are locked in, but before that goes from hazy to brick wall real quick.

Some of them are just stupid. Most of them are evil, but some seem to genuinely think they’re doing good. The stupid ones are being manipulated by evil people, so the end result is the same, but there is a distinction in intent.

I’m impressed with the amount of people who can actually remember what they were like as a 10 year old. I’ve got some pictures n’ shit of myself from back then, but honestly that might as well be a completely different person, and I can’t tell you jack about what’s going through their head.

What happens next?

HUGE sigh of relief from the entire planet.

…really not even new. Just the same shitty normal as always.

I was going to post some snark about not putting it past humanity to find a way to set the ocean on fire too, but… wait that sounds familiar… oh yeah, we’ve fucking done it already!

Biden could always have him [official business]ed.

…that’s not an egg.

Igorrr

Nope, they’ve flown under my radar until now. Didn’t scratch the itch I was shooting for, but that did awaken a completely new one - I fucking loved the one you linked!! Will definitely be going down that rabbit hole. I haven’t heard much Arabic influence in metal… only one that comes to mind is the intro of Blind Guardian’s Wheel of Time (which is one of my all time favorites!). If you’ve got more along those lines, please share! In the mean time I’ll be doing a deep dive on Igorrr!

Bullet for My Valentine

Familiar with them. Never really cared for BfMV… always struck me as the musical equivalent of a pouty teenager after being told to clean their room, lol. They’ve got enough redeeming content in most songs that I wouldn’t say I dislike them either, but it all ads up to kinda just break even at good enough to not bother skipping it when they pop up in a list, but not good enough to ever actually seek them out.

…typing kinda slow cuz my brain is fried, so in the time it took to make this comment I’m on my 4th Igorrr song and JESUS FUCKING CHRIST those guys are all over the damn place lol. 10/10

“Definitely unrelated … here let’s pull the trigger together.”

- 74 million voters

Considering the direction global politics is taking, setting the planet on fire would be an act of mercy at this point.

Just because we always have doesn’t mean we always will.

We’re managing our planet like a chronic drunk driver who’s somehow never had a collision. “It’s fine, I do this all the time!”

All it takes is one ‘not fine’ and the story’s over.

I just hope whatever emerges from the ashes evolves to be a species that’s less of a dickhead than humans. …assuming anything emerges from the ashes; that isn’t a guarantee either.

Appropriate, considering voters just took our country out back and shot it in the head.

Engineering points for opposing teeth orientation - forward grip on the back wheel for accelerating, backwards on the front wheel for breaking. I like it.

So I fucking hate that this is where my brain went, but my kneejerk reaction to this was: “If I do this, could it be used as evidence to charge my wife with the death of a nonexistent fetus?”

I live in the cousin-fuckingly-deep south where women are incubators and a long list of stereotypes. I could definitely see it argued in court - successfully - that an app like that was only used on my phone to try to conceal my wife’s data, and the data points to one of the ways we’ve criminalized pregnancy.

…and that’s thinking about what could happen here and now. Once Trump has had his way with our country, we’d probably just get deported to one of daddy Putin’s gulags or some shit.

I really fucking hate it here.

Speaking only for myself, but I’d wager this is pretty common: registered independent, but my voting pattern is consistently solid blue. Historically I mostly just don’t want to give the poll worker any reason treat me less-than-ethically due to not aligning with their party of choice. Now-a-days, I don’t want a D next to my name when the Nazis we just elected start making their lists of undesirables.
