You are likely scanning my profile and history because I said something in a tone that made you feel funny or angry. This is called being reactionary. You can overcome it.

  • Consciousness could last hours after ‘death’

    Jump

  • It's more likely a combination of both, it's permanent lights-out, but the universe doesn't meaningfully exist without a conscious observer, so you'll be dead for infinity and you won't sense any of that time passing because you'll be dead, but even the most unlikely events become 100% certain given enough time and there are calculations for how long it takes for another universe to pop into existence. (It's a huge number, but again, effectively zero if you're dead.)

    This may mean it's impossible to really die forever. You won't have memories or anything, but if space and physics is constant then at some point things will repeat and a sense of "self" will exist again. And again. And again.

  • Consciousness could last hours after ‘death’

    Jump

  • I'm not looking forward to dying.

    I'm fine with afterwards, it's the process that I really, really don't want to deal with. I've been dead before, we all have, it was fine. We'll be fine, you won't worry or feel bad at all, for like... forever. But man, I really don't want to be locked in my body in a hospital bed for 3 weeks with inadequate painkillers and no way to do anything about it.

  • Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections

  • That would be a strong argument if I had suggested anything remotely close to not vocalizing our dissent.

  • Look how much Canadians hate the United States now

    Jump

  • Yah me too but I'm talking about the social discourse between people, towards people, not governments. There is a hateful sentiment spreading and if you haven't seen it yet, you will. It's just ramping up and it's all by design.

  • Look how much Canadians hate the United States now

    Jump

  • There's a lot of hate I see even here on Lemmy, with the sentiment of "You stupid Americans are getting what you voted for" kind of blanket aspersions. I'm fully aware that most of them are shills or astroturfers trying to incite back-and-forth anger, but it seems to work very easily and ends up in a lot of "no YOU!" arguments across social media.

  • Some Democrats plan to skip Trump's State of the Union address

    Jump

  • Traditionally the State of the Union has been a yearly "all sides come together to get on the same page" kind of affair, it's supposed to highlight the importance of country over politics, and it's where the whole country gets the president's agenda going forward so we can decide what to support or oppose. It was originally a stately and important moment in our country. Whether you liked or hated the president, when I was a child here families would gather around their televisions and tune in just to know what's going on.

    This tradition has had some drama and wild swings in the past but I can't remember in my decades here if there's been a sizeable number of legislators and representatives actually protesting the entire thing, people usually go there even if it's just to "boo" and make a scene and get their clips in on social media.

    Honestly it's completely nothing and pointless right now. The State of the Union means nothing in this administration, the protesting by not attending means nothing. Trump could get up there and scream at the country that we're going to start mining for chocolate on the moon and people are broadly going to shrug because next week he'll be screaming that we need to start bombing wind-farms.

  • Project 2025 creator wants to ban gender-affirming care for trans adults

    Jump

  • By his logic

    Nobody here is using that shit.

    Logic that is.

    This is meant to do what it always did, rile up stupid hicks against a manufactured enemy and provide leverage for politicians who want to succeed on the backs of a fearful mob of hicks.

  • Rep. Lieu said Full Epstein Files Show Allegations of Trump Raping and Threatening to Kill Children.

    Jump

  • Lot of options!

    We could kidnap the Prime Minister of Canada, we could nuke Greenland, we could drive tanks into some peaceful midwestern town and start a war with like, Hermann Missouri. We could drive ALL of our aircraft carriers to park off the coast of... lets throw a random dart at the board, like Kiribati? Sure we can take 'em.

  • If real life loaded like a video game did, what would the loading screen tips be?

  • 'It's happening': Journalist warns Trump's UFO order a smoke screen for something bigger

    Jump

  • Actual secrets are kept secret from people who have any chance of exposing secrets. There is no real such thing as overriding authority in matters of national security and technology that could turn wars. They keep that shit wrapped up until a situation gets so dire that there's nothing left to lose.

    Add to that, the commercialization of military tech, so that there are likely 100 different tech companies with huge secret programs and technology being tested who have no idea what each of the others are doing, and sure as shit won't share anything "under oath" with congress or anyone else.

    The "aliens" narrative has been a very convenient narrative for them too, just like how Q-anon was built as a misdirection from the actual child-sex cabal because nobody is going to take the claims seriously when they sound like the deranged ravings of conspiracy nuts.

    The idea that we can have a "document reveal" or testimony that leads to actual conclusive anything is as absurd as the idea that we can have a document leak about Epstein that leads to anyone in power facing criminal charges.

  • Now now, it will also be "experts" clawing to speak in front of Congress like Avi Loeb and miscellaneous book-sellers and youtube personalities.

  • I'm Not Into Politics

    Jump

  • "I hate politics" = "I don't want to get into an argument with some right-wing foulmouth chud who doesn't listen to reason."

    "I don't follow politics." = "I am a right-wing, foulmouth chud who doesn't listen to reason and don't want to get fired or put on social media so I will abstain from revealing my feelings at this time."

    "I don't understand politics." = "For the love of fucking God, I work 6 days a week and am raising two kids and three dogs, I have to pack my entire personal life into several hours on a weekend when everything is closed, and people are trying to talk to me about the latest Epstein thing and I don't get what I'm supposed to do about it, I just got told my insulin brand isn't covered anymore and need to find a cheaper substitute and the insurance hotline won't return my calls."

  • Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections

    Jump

  • Nobody is coming, there is no opposition.

    Get your people together and talk to your neighbors. Get armed. Rice and beans, and generally about 2 weeks of food and water.

    Get active with the voting in your state and volunteer if you can, even if all you can do is document efforts at voter suppression, you still need to be there and be involved with voting in your town, your county and your state. People like Susan Collins only remain in power because people in states don't care nearly enough about who represents them in either local or federal house and senate.

    Either delete your social media or radically edit it to reduce personal, identifying information.

  • A few of them made an effort to keep up appearances during early rulings, but then they realized that democracy was falling so they went whole-hog with empowering fascism, and now we're approaching what looks like a brutal mid-term sweep so the judges are backing off again from overt capitulation... we sure wouldn't want the new house and senate to introduce bills to reform Supreme Court, right?

  • House committee advances bill to ban chemtrails

    Jump

  • The last couple decades have really accelerated though, because the tendrils of capital leaching into everything and sucking people's attention spans out of their fucking skulls so now children and adults alike can't sit still and listen to anything for more than 10 minutes at a time.

    I work with and manage teams of people and have for many years. It was never this bad. This isn't localized to young people and the schooling situation, this is widespread across all layers of modern society. I have professionals I deal with who have the work skills and attention spans of teenagers with their first job, and this is just common now.

    Of course people are tuned out and not paying attention to politics and policy, we can't get people broadly to tune into the things that actually impact their immediate surroundings and life unless it's a 3-minute vertical clip with subway surfers playing on the bottom half and a streamer reacting in the corner.
