Good old right wing politics. Divide and conquer.

Divide and conquer.

Someone told me I'm not allowed to like IDLES any more, but that song slaps.

The measurements seem to be between 2020 and 2025.

Not one mention of COVID

[-] appetizer@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

Exactly. The brain damage caused by covid has many impacts. Social skills and empathy are absolutely affected.

Don't you have a common enemy to unite in hatred against? New Zealanders, emu, etc?

Visit a grocery store in the US at 4pm on a weekday. You'll be hugging your neighbors after.

Are 16 o'clock US groceries infamous for something?

I, I have no idea what this means...

I've been to US grocery stores, they seem fairly chill. Where I went at least.

In cities they're incredibly crowded, mostly with people lacking self awareness.

Hmm, i could imagine that. The ones I went to were all along the west coast, maybe that made a difference.

It really shows on the roads tbh, the pandemic caused so much more aggressive driving.
