I’m not a citizen of your shithole country

I know, I can see which instance you’re on. My original comment applies to you just as much as it does to any American.

Regardless, I am still definitely making way more of an effort to stop fascism than the average American.

You don’t know that, and we have no reason to believe you, but keep patting yourself on the back while vomiting your unregulated anxiety & despair at strangers on the internet, ig

Eh, it’s not worse on Lemmy than I’ve seen it on any other platform, but yeah, you’re not wrong. If we think there’s nothing we can do, we will do just that.

The only hope left is that there are some true Americans left in the military that are able to work together.

This is not the only hope left, this is just one of the more ideal solutions.

Hopes not high for that either, as it would have happened by now. It’s never going to happen from the general public. Sorry to burst your bubble.

I really need people who say doomer shit like this to:

1. Reflect on whether their words encourage solution-oriented thinking, or unproductive doom spirals

2. Learn some emotional regulation

Yeah, in my experience, that’s just discord (my specific brand of neurodivergence finds most discord communities too overwhelming tho, unfortunately)

If the entire library is loud, there isn’t a “loud zone”, lol

You have my sympathies tho, you should move to my neighborhood, our library is quiet af. I found a bullet in the parking lot once tho, and that made me really sad.

In my personal experience, especially in recent years, cashiers are often not even faster than self-checkout (though I’ve often experienced bagging pressure, lol). They’re either chatty extroverts who slow everything down because they’re socializing too much, or they’re new employees who don’t seem to know how to do their job yet (I assume this is prevalent due to high turnover, which is increasingly common).

The DSA has been a pretty big topic in U.S. political news for at least the past year, lol

EDIT: adding the caveat that both the right wing and establishment democrats/centrists are actively trying to suppress DSA popularity, as they have always done with socialist movements, so that could be a big reason why you might not have heard of them.
