@11112011 they're not quite as manufactured as democrats the last few decades, come back in ten years
I see people being compelled to be humble and it is creating a longing for meaning and purpose.
We are in the midst of a spiritual awakening that can heal, not only our Nation, but humanity as well if enough people find a way to Him.
We are at the precipice of destruction. But conversely, are we not also at the precipice of something great?
Hold on. Keep fighting the good fight and turn to the things that matter and this will turn around. I know it will because it can't not happen.

@Fletchlives come for the banter, stay for the memes is a tough cycle to beat for fedi though
@Fletchlives I've been thinking recently about having a few topics/subjects dear to my heart to do actual research on and ignore the rest.
I'll always remember my mum coming into my room at half 5 in the morning to tell me about the Paris terror attacks - necessary info will always filter through, you're better off having direction over your attention than allowing others to drag you by the nose... even the well meaning ones
To put into perspective of how easy it is to think you need to constantly stay engaged, the reality is after 3 weeks of ignoring it all, I got caught up in about an hour. Same as it ever was.
Does this mean we all just say: "fuck it. I don't care anymore" and wait until it is over? Whether it is a win for the good guys or the final nail in the coffin of our Republic?

@coolboymew this is, unironically, kinda interesting - particularly if it was used to reflect/analyse the demographics of a culture
I remember reading an article about how some social scientists had analysed the relationships in the Norse Sagas and shown that the structure was what you would expect to see from a genuine community of people. they concluded that it suggested the sagas were more than a little based on real people
pretty cool
@NBS @harblinger I sympathize with the idea of "of it ain't broke don't fix it"
sure, there's always a finite risk of your exchange going down or screwing you - but if you're new, self custody might be the biggest risk
@harblinger @NBS I've heard good reports about coldcards
@jmw150 structuralism sounds kinda based
