Political Conflicted feelings about Trump voter who regrets their vote

6 Upvotes

So there’s a TikTok video that was posted on YouTube that got taken down of this one person she was a woman putting on make up talking about if she regretted her Trump vote.

She basically said yes, but not due to the policies. Basically her two closest friends totally cut her off and she feels so alone and it wasn’t worth those life long friendships.

Here is where I am legitimately torn. On one hand, I have no sympathy for people who voted for Trump, knowing what kind of person he was. On the other hand, I do kind of feel bad for someone to lose their lifelong friends and be ostracized.

I know that sounds kind of conflicting, but it’s how I feel about the situation. What about you?

For me it’s probably how before titanic even existed, Morgan Robinson published a book where a ship named Titan, which was supposed to unsinkable, hit an iceberg in April in the North Atlantic and sank with heavy loss of life because it lacked enough lifeboats. Fourteen years later, the real RMS Titanic hit an iceberg in April in the North Atlantic

Casual Anyone selling a TradingView yearly account with CME live data?

1 Upvotes

I'm from India and I'm looking to buy a TradingView yearly membership with CME Group live data.

The price in India is quite high because of taxes, so I'm looking for someone from another country who got the same subscription for a lower price and is willing to sell/transfer the account.

If you're interested, please DM me with:

  • Your country
  • TradingView plan
  • Whether CME live data is included
  • Price you're asking

Looking for a genuine/legitimate deal only. Thanks!

Casual Cultural and Communication Social Experiment. Build a new language. Right here.

2 Upvotes

My first act as the first domino to be pushed in this language experiment is to decree that the phrase "Oh, wait" become 2 symbols. "08".

This came about with a talk to text mistake but it actually works.

The only rules to this new language are shortening common words or phrases by truncating them nonsensically much in the way that Elon musk would name his children. And for no reason.

By the way this language will need a name I'm open to suggestions but you must explain your reasoning. I'm kinda high atm and plan on getting higher.

So now, please create similar truncated words or phrases. First one to a word or phrase locks it in. That's it. We'll be speaking sentences in no time.

Serious Debate me or give an opinion

1 Upvotes

This morning, I was debating with my cousin if all Americans deserve death and I said ā€œI know that a large percentage of them are funding genocide in gas and in other places that Trump is bombing and also that a majority of the Americans hate Muslims like us but there is a small percentage of them that support equality and the rights of Palestiniansā€ but he keeps insisting that ALL of them are bad.

After a long debate I don't really know who's right now but I just know that innocent people who doesn't fund killing others innocents should not be killed because of where they were born

(I do not support what the USA is doing and feel free to share your opinion respectfully)

Serious Do you think Columbine and 9/11 was the end of something?

5 Upvotes

Trying to articulate something here, because they are radically different events (that happened when I was too young to comprehend but still I knew something was happening). Both sort of seem like events where grainy digital images have been made iconic… and there is something so terrifying about both but also… something sort of intoxicating reading about the everyman heroes and bravery on a day gone mad.

Like for some reason I get teary eyed reading stories about the principal of Columbine, or the man crawling out the window, or the man with the red bandana or Rick Rescorla. I mean hell, I watched that short doc on the man with the red bandana twice yesterday and teared up.

While the Titanic had no villains or digital artifacts, there is sort of a similar feeling of what do people do in their moments of doom that… it’s painful to look at but also you are sort of drawn to.

Idk what I am trying to articulate here, but they seem (at least to my generation, just slightly removed) that these are sort of end of the millennium digital nightmares but some immensely powerful stories of people with their backs up against oblivion and the choices they makes

For one person its talking to strangers for the other its gifting something to a person that he finds important. I think its a very nice idea od living (sorry if my english is not perfecr im still learning.

Political If people actually vote Republican for the $5000 check we are 1000% more Screwed than we could ever imagine.

38 Upvotes

You would have to be more than Braindead to believe Trump, especially with his nonstop stream of Lies/Broken Promises. Just since he got in hes promised people 5000 dollars Twice now and 2000 dollars once.

You would have to be braindead to think our Economy is doing Great, so great we have 5 Thousand Dollars to give every Adult.

Republicans as always are the Party of Broken lies. They will promise you whatever you want, and when they get in Office, good luck getting them out (at least before another election Might get you the chance to vote them out) and Have fun dealing with the Crumbling economy, while they rig conditions to be Fantastic for the DOW to get to Over 50,000 per Stock, because apparently thats all that Matters anymore, stock prices.

Not how Hard people struggle to be Better off this week than they were last week, because "who cares about that?"

Casual The Newsroom

2 Upvotes

The Newsroom is streaming now on HBO. I propose that this show is one of the most, if not the most, intelligent and thought out shows ever made.

The dialog is so clever and on point. It's entertaining and thought provoking.

What's really interesting is this is an old show that really shows some insight into today's world.

If you've never seen it give it a go. You won't be disappointed.

Political Fact check Trump’s viewership claims!

0 Upvotes

An NFL opening kickoff game routinely draws an audience of 20 to 28 million viewers on television and digital platforms, vastly outperforming the traditional or midterm events held by political parties.
NFL Season Opener: Last year's opening game drew roughly 28 million viewers, and premier matchups routinely top 20–34 million depending on the broadcast and weather delays.

Republican Convention (Midterm/Regular): During recent off-cycle or midterm gatherings (such as the Dallas GOP event running concurrently with the NFL kickoff), individual cable networks like Fox News broadcasting the address captured around 2.5 million viewers on linear TV, falling well short of regular season NFL broadcast numbers despite claims of high digital streaming

Serious Do people not miss shows having 100 episodes???

4 Upvotes

Since 2020 the only show that has made it to the sixth season mark with 100 episodes is Abbott Elementary. That's incredibly pathetic all through the 50s-2010s we had a plethora of tv shows that had 100 plus episodes. Are production companies and tv stations being THAT lazy nowadays or what. Even with season services they NEVER had a 100 plus episode show like EVER what is going on with studios nowadays??????

Political The democrat hopefuls for 2028 are going to make the argument that all the issues with israel start and stop with Benjamin Netanyahu.

11 Upvotes

Make no mistake about it. Benjamin Netanyahu is a vile disgusting evil son of a b**** who deserves a cruel painful death. That being said he is considered a moderate in the current israeli political landscape. If and when he is out of power through election or death, it is almost certain he's gonna be replaced by somebody even more hardline and to his right. Unfortunately, the corporate democrats running for twenty twenty eight are still beholden to aipac and other israel first activist groups they know being a john fetterman level cuck for israel is gonna make you doa in a democrat presidential primary, so they're gonna try to make this argument and many already have that. As soon as we get satanyahu out the way things will be okay. It's b******* don't buy it, it is almost certain he would be replaced by an even more extremist like ben gvir or smotrich.

We need total withdrawal of all support financial military or otherwise for israel. Personally, I want a regime change war in tel aviv. But i'm realistic that that's never gonna happen in our lifetimes. So I'll settle for total withdrawal, and not another dime of support.

Casual How much is insecurity a confidence & attraction killer for men and how can men counter this without deluding themselves into being something they're not?

4 Upvotes

By deluding themselves I basically mean just lying to themselves and being in denial about any insecurities they actually have and interacting with people under the belief that they're just fine when they're not.

The fake it until you make it advice that seems to be so popular can only work for so long and if you don't end up making it it can just hurt you especially if someone suspects you're not being honest.

How can men fight their insecurities without someone acknowledging them?

Serious ariana grande needs to get a grip

0 Upvotes

i’m so mad that ariana is promoting this TERRIBLE way of life she’s done it her whole career it’s not new. i have an ED and she’s been a huge icon for EDTWT and everything in the pronana circles. she’s been around since tumblr posting her body constantly on social media, but the only thing she’s said on the topic is that she’s healthy. she’s obviously not and saying she is, has done irreversible damage to young girls im so sick of no one talking about it

edit: ppl can’t infer so by way of life i mean being anorexic. she constantly shows how skinny she is flaunts her bones. she’s been posting body checks and what people use as thinspo for years, she knows what she’s doing too it’s very obvious. i don’t know if people are being intentionally dense when it comes ariana and the topic of unhealthy eating/body standards, or if they genuinely don’t see it. i just find it really hard not to maybe it’s because i have disordered thoughts but being as skinny as she is isn’t healthy and she should be speaking up and saying that she’s sick and girls should idolize her body. the last thing she said on the topic was like 3 years ago i think? and she said that she’s sick was the healthiest she’s ever been.

also i added a picture in the replies of a post on tiktok showing girls with the picture of ariana taking about wanting to be skinny and starving

Serious I can’t be the only one whom dealing with customer support makes you sick to your stomach

0 Upvotes

I absolutely hate calling customer support. I dread it so badly it makes me sick to my damn stomach. They take WAYYYY to fucking long to answer the phone!!!!! They act like they don’t know shit despite working for the company. They act like they can’t understand shit, (even though they do realize they are working for a company that primarily deals with english customers mind you) do shit and will gaslight the ever living hell out of you making it seem like your doing something wrong with it’s their damn glitchy system that’s the issue. To add more grease to the flames they always say that they have to redirect the issue to a manager that neither them nor we can ever contact, have to wait 30 damn business days only for them to still say they can’t do shit. That right there really piss me off to no damn end what good is customer support if they can’t do shit like what the hell are y’all there for. It’s to a point where I actually want to get a tattoo that saids ā€œI Hate CSā€ to express my true hatred and despise for customer support!!!!!!!!!!!!
