The bay area is full of people like this. Its my hometown and when I left I was confused for 6 months by the comparatively little amount of whining and complaining when talking to people. Crying about pointless bs is in the bay areoids DNA

I just hate that place so much. Rant over.

!birdposters a lil something to get you through the hump day :)

Am I the only one that has no trouble believing that in our contemporary culture a miserable and alienated child could, of their own volition, decide to commit a senseless act of violence? Trying to say that they were convinced by the FBI or "digital networks of adult reactionaries who groom them to commit mass shootings" (actual take I just saw) is just as much of a cop-out as blaming violent video games and violent music. It's more comfortable to believe that there's a lone catalyst or sinister outside actor persuading all these kids to commit atrocities, but it turns these shootings are just a symptom of our rotting culture, with causes so disparate and pervasive that there isn't a satisfying villain to point your finger at.

Russians now using the elephants to jets monetary system.

Ok not really. But why are so many redscarepod people repeating this exact talking point? Why is it always DoorDash and not Grubhub?

Back in 2022 - and it looks like this is still the case in 2025 - anyone with a Bank of America credit card could get Grubhub+ free for 1 year. It's nothing special but it knocks off a lot of the junk fees from food deliveries.

A meal that would cost $20 at a restaurant might be $28 to $32 to have delivered. I went through my order history and it looks like I utilized it about a dozen times in 2 years. Is this "bleak" on my part?

why are twitter artists so confrontational and antagonistic

Trump says that the elite are the problem and so he installs a bunch of billionaires in his cabinet.

These fricking morons really thought Trump would drain the swamp. And that's funny.

But they think: it's just the smart way to get ahead. At least Trump "doesn't pretend" the way Biden does. I mean that's incoherent, right? Trump is pretending to drain the swamp. And then he doesn't, he makes the White House his personal corruption hole, and all of MAGA says "at least the Democrats didn't win."
