I don’t think trying to convince people is going to do anything anymore. Everyone who was ever going to leave Twitter already has. Anyone who still uses Twitter after everything that’s happened will immediately dismiss this Toot or anyone saying anything resembling it as baseless fearmongering. What’s the point?

This is bait. It’s gotta be.

“Profess to have learned nothing about leftism since the…” WTF are you talking about? really just confused as to what you mean here

I asked that question in good faith, so I’m going to assume you are as well.

Usually when people talk about “college leftists” they’re talking about people who are too young to know anything about the world but have opinions on it anyway. I assumed that, since you were talking about yourself in that manner, that you saw yourself that way. My apologies.

college

spent just shy of 20 years schlepping boxes for UPS

so, uh, how old were you when UPS hired you, again?

unless by “college leftist” you mean you went to college 20+ years ago and profess to have learned nothing about leftism since then… really just confused as to what you mean here

ohhhh so that’s where the set designers of all the star trek interiors got their ideas

so like the autopilot in Elite Dangerous. will it get you there? sure. will it get you there fast? …not exactly.

Yeah I really got that impression from your comment framing Trump’s stances on various wars as reasonable compared to Harris’s

We’re on the internet, bro. You have a search engine right fucking there. I didn’t know what vatnik meant either until I googled it 20 seconds ago. What is your excuse?

and I’m not actually sure if he even means what he says.

don’t you think it says something that this is the only excuse people who defend trump can come up with anymore

In what fucking world do people who unquestioningly believe Russian propaganda qualify as “uncompromising pacifists”?

harris at least claims she’s working towards a ceasefire. whether she actually is is up for debate. what’s not up for debate is that trump wants israel to finish the job.

why does harris mean world war 3?

is it because of funneling weapons to israel? because trump has promised to do that too. and has also promised NOT to work for a ceasefire.

…either an empty string, a single character, or the same sequence of characters repeated more than once?

What a weird place this instance is.

implying that there are instances that aren’t like this

did apple pay you to write this

Who said anything about Vance? Ron DeSantis is right there waiting to take the reins.

bold of you to assume they wouldn’t just instantly pivot to the next fascist in line like Ron DeSantis if he went completely out of commission.

even bolder of you to assume they would care if he lost the election. after all, they didn’t the first time

In the sense that I don’t believe the people described exist in any significant quantity, yes.

Every now and then I read one of those panicked articles raising the alarm about how some member of the young generation doesn’t understand folder structures or whatever, and I panic for a second because what if an entire generation grows up not knowing how to use a computer? But then I remember that I’ve read stories upon stories from Reddit and assorted boomer sites from the 90s and aughts about the exact sort of tech support problems described in that article, and that I’ve never met someone my age or younger who can’t touchtype at least 60 words a minute, and that my sister for whom a command line is the scariest thing in the universe figured out how to install ReShade for a DirectX game she liked all on her own, and that our parents talked the exact same way about cars, and I calm down.
