Defeatism : an attitude of accepting, expecting, or being resigned to defeat

How is that helpful. The dictionary definition has nothing regarding pushing back

I did reference that in my original comment. I was just getting at the fact that the meme was usually overly clingy girlfriend.

I’m going to adopt that mindset. I’m just used to that ‘deep dive’ behaviour being attributed to woman along the lines of ‘clingy girlfriend’.

I’m not saying men don’t engage in this behaviour, but (again in the older internet I grew up in) it was mainly attributed to women. Especially because Facebook was the first thing that came to mind for me.

Facebook was at its height when I was just barely an adult and I know a few women who would talk along those lines.

Thats just where I was coming from. It’s no excuse, and I’m really glad you provided this prospective

Love a JB Fletcher meme; don’t love the context.

There’s a meme I wish I could link but the YouTube algorithm has gone to shit. JB Fletcher types the Navy Seal CopyPasta is the gist.

Edit; noticed the poster. As a woman myself I’d hate to have everything scrutinised around any relationship. This just rings as ‘girls vs girls’ to me and I’m not a huge fan ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Defeatism is not helpful. Oppose what’s happening, don’t appease the executive. Allow there to be some way to betterment before all you can do is say ‘there’s no hope’

lol, lmao even is always pronounced phonetically when I read it

“How great is it that author J.B. Fletcher has come to town‽”

“You need to leave immediately”

Can you really just lie about a rabies shot? I guess if you get bitten at the dog park and take the owners word? My dog has his rabies vaccination number on his tag. If it goes to LLE I thought they’d put the dog down to check for rabies during the autopsy. Regardless I’d still keep my dog current on all of his vaccinations, but I could never live with myself if my dog ended up dying because of me.

As someone who watched the This Week Tonight YouTube exclusive this is perfect

Hacking a vita is so easy you do it straight from the console browser. I still can’t manage to get my DS properly hacked no matter how many guides I try.

Even the picture used in the thumbnail highlights how hard it is to ‘accidentally’ purchase a veg patty over a beef patty. There’s variations in the type of meat patties available like Angus, wagyu, smash, etc. but that’s not being regulated. No one is accidentally buying ‘sparkling protein’

Absolutely, it’s an injury law firm based off the lower text. Ambulance chasers since US healthcare is a joke

Rarely does history dwell on the individual, especially when you cover hundreds of years in a class. I will say that I was taught about the leading factors of WW2 far more than WW1. A lot of it dwelt on a people suffering from the weight of reparations stacked upon the general weight of losing a war. I don’t say this to justify either timeframes decline to fascism, but to draw a parallel.

In my opinion and personal experience the general population of the US has so much less power (purchasing and otherwise) and they’re mad. They want to be mad at something tangible and fascist direct it toward minorities.

I’m going to be the serpent in the grass and say give Babylon 5 a go before DS9. The first season will feel slow because the show is structured like a novel; exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, conclusion. There are small things like newspaper headers that hint towards future developments, and every main character undergoes a major arc. I enjoy DS9, but it’s never felt as cohesive as B5 to me. You may throw your stones now.

There have been a few. If I recall correctly one in the tube was removed by cleaners not knowing how valuable it was. IIRC they made a statement along the lines of ‘we’re cleaners, not art critics’ and that was a good chuckle

I won’t lie he was at the top of mind. I was actually doing a Guest Control shift for ‘World of Color’ after his passing. There’s a segment where his Genie character throws a neon ‘Applause’ sign that marked the halfway point of the show. I’ve never heard a crowd cheer harder.

To be fair, quite a few comedians deal with depression and other things that can lead you to counselling. I make my therapist laugh all the time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Eh, I’m one of those MMO ‘females’. I have to be really cautious when I first join a guild. I’m often seen as a ‘female’ first and gamer second. The amount of times I’ve gotten OnlyFans comments is way too high. I’ve had the best luck in multiplayer FPS games. The downfall of Bungie hits me hard because Destiny in particular was a great place to be a woman gamer. Can you do the mechanic and communicate? That’s all a good team wants.
