I think people on hexbear would not want to "defend the constitution" or be an "asset" to the most evil empire in history. It sucks to lose a job and a likely relatively stable one, but I think it comes off as sarcastic because this is a leftist site- I would guess lussy has no alegience to the constitution or the country.

I hate this world

I don't think it has anything to do with the quality of your recommendations. People have limited time. With Avatar - you are asking that someone commit to 3 seasons of a children's show that they probably already understand the gist of through its place in culture.

From their perspective - I think in the moment it sounds exciting to get a recommendation and feel like you'll definitely make time for it but then you get home and it's the next day and you'd rather spend your limited time on your own stuff.

I'm sorry that they aren't reciprocating but unfortunately there really isn't a solution here. This will be the case with the vast majority of recommendations your whole life. I wouldn't read too much into it.

Partner and I recently had our first kid, and it's the best thing we've ever done. Also the most stressful.

We did wait though until our mid thirties, and that seems to be more normal now. I can't imagine having a kid when my parents did, I don't know how people can afford that now.

I may be missing a joke, but Bob Ross does this by using a lot of shortcuts and brush stroke techniques. I think he's respected but I don't think most artists feel at all outclassed. I paint too and while I love the idea of him showing that anyone can paint, I wouldn't really want my landscapes to look like his do.

No hate towards him at all but it's just a different way of painting that kindof maximizes time to output efficiency. But I enjoy painting, and I'm good with a painting taking 20 hours.

Seriously, it turns out all it took to get regular people to support hitler was to just get a 2nd hitler.

It short circuits them

Zionists conflate Jewishness and the existence of the political state of Israel. To the point that any Jew that does not support Israel as a state or the actions of Israel is considered not a real Jew or a kind of race traitor.

This controlling of the thoughts and actions of Jews by zionists who may even be christian themselves is very much antisemetic

A state is not owed the allegience of a people based on their ancestry or belief

They're not real. I've worked at multiple places with DEI initiatives. They amount to a yearly training where white people get to vent their bigotry and a position within HR devoted to focusing on more inclusive recruitment tactics.

For the most part we still hired almost exclusively white people.

In reality DEI was just a way for companies to pretend they're cool places to work and DEI was dropped the moment it started getting backlash.

The power dynamic IS the fact that you and you alone have a choice in how this relationship works (landlord/tenant vs flatmate/flatmate). Wild that after "managing" to own property you would start using your power to twist relationships to your own end. Who would have guessed a landlord would be power tripping and shady

You know there is like history and real life and stuff that happened prior to the invasion right? Like you don't have to guess or speculate or make up fan theories? Like you can just like read and find out why.

This feigned "who could possibly know" attitude is baffling. Just like look it up

I'm always afraid to recommend it because I've never heard anyone talk about it- but I would recommend Station Eleven. Its post-apocalyptic after a covid-like disease. But unlike every other apocalyptic media it has so much love for people. It has some very sad moments but it's so wholesome. And I loved their little traveling commune.

I remember when people were saying that texting and abbreviations like LOL were the end of books and language as we know it.

A lot of this is just old people looking to blame the woes of society on a group they are definitively not part of. Can't be because of capitalism that people are living with their parents, if that were the case then maybe old people would have to accept some blame.
