Had a friend who became homeless due to his heroin addiction. I actually wonder if he had stayed a functional addict that he might've fallen down the Q hole. He's thankfully clean now, and he seemed to imply that politics weren't a huge thing within the homeless groups he ran with.

My dad was into meth and crack for decades, he now takes part in the convoy protests and posts relentless amounts of Q and Infowars garbage on facebook :toot:

I have no clue how he's managed to stay alive this long. It baffles me more than anything. I cut him off when I was 17, but I check his profile to find out if he's dead yet because he keeps trying to track me down and I want to know when I can finally relax. Every time I see new posts I'm disappointed.

Meth and crack are good fun drugs. Your dad just sucks. Drugs don't make you right wing they just amplify it if you already are.

👏 Hmm... it doesn't quite show up the same here, but what had to be explained to me was the hands with little droplets around it was not supposed to be "wet hands" or "washing your hands" or "sweaty hands". It was supposed to be clapping. I just don't get it. There's another emoji that shows up on Facebook that looks like goatse but apparently it's supposed to be praise or prayer or something.

Pretty much this, it's the idea that as nations get richer, they have fewer kids and an aging population which sucks up a lot of resources. It's really only a concern if you're a racist society, like Japan, and get squicked out at the thought of foreigners filling necessary niches in your economy.

But also stare blankly at the idea that your kids who are working themselves to death to barely afford rent anywhere there's actual jobs and have no stability or security aren't eager to get married and start pumping out babies.

Well that's a whole pile of comments I probably shouldn't have read because jesus wept there's some morons on twitter.

Is it really so difficult to conceive of people not wanting to gently caress? I don't want to gently caress 99% of people I encounter, 100% is not a big leap. Do these people just only experience interpersonal relationships via the medium of wanting to gently caress?

It's not the concept of not having sexual attraction these people struggle with. Its that ace people are happy as the way they are and are not seeking to 'fix' themselves.

The main downside of owning a Rhodesian Ridgebutt is that they will make all south african ex-pats in a 50 mile radius slither out the woodwork and from under stones to tell you they used to have dozens of them on the plantation they owned and how great they were at keeping the local gibbon population down.

No specific examples here, but it's real easy to find on THAT side of Twitter: Ellen Degeneres's DJ (also well known as a contestant on So You Think You Can Dance) committed suicide today. He was only 40 years old, and was just posting Tiktok videos of himself and his family, dancing around seeming totally happy.

Depression? Nope. :tinfoil: HE KNEW TOO MUCH ABOUT ELLEN AND PIZZAGATE!

(You'd think we'd have learned from Robin Williams, etc. that someone can SEEM happy, make others laugh, and maybe even genuinely BE happy at times...and yet still suffer from depression and even suicidal thoughts.)

I THINK they mean Anne Heche, a former partner of Ellen's who recently died in a car accident (possibly either a DUI or a mental break while driving, I think it's up in the air). Portia is still alive and married to Ellen.

(To be fair, I get them a bit confused too...not visually, but remembering which is which. I can only remember it as "her current partner was the lady from Arrested Development".)

I know you are joking, but I'm guessing overlaid from the context is basically died of neglect, where overlaid basically means laid in one position for too long and developed bedsores before starving to death because their nurse failed them?
