      I sometimes wish all forms of commercial entertainment would disappear for a year or two so people take their heads out of the sand, see our contribution to the state of the world and start being the change we need.

        Yeah, those months during Covid when people weren’t driving everywhere and gas prices plummeted and the air was clean.

        We need that sort of hiatus for commercial entertainment. Communities would get rebuilt in no time. Libraries + parks would be packed, etc.

      Not like a personal judgement or a diss or anything, but

      It’s wild how usernames like EvilFonzy are usually upright and usernames like yeahiknow3 are usually evil. Get a silly username like TropicalDingDong and we’ll probably catch them supporting genocide, opposing democracy, or trying to dissolve NATO at some point.

          You made no jokes. If you had then you would have added a /joke or a /s tag denoting it as such, if we allow what you said to be considered a joke then we would have to allow anybody to say any horrible thing and forgive them when they change their minds, but it doesn’t work like that.

              No, I’m fully grown, feel free to start ad hominem at your leasure, I’m starting to enjoy watching you get ratio’d. Not sure what you didn’t understand from my explanation, honestly tried to help you communicate better.
