I have wishlists for all sorts of things, mostly stuff I intend to buy myself. But my most recent interest is solo board games / card games, and I have enough options that I can definitely request some for the holidays.

I did after this stupid take put me to sleep.

well of course

Reddit mostly. Though, been avoiding news a lot.

I got one for books, one for general stuff, and one for stuff to buy for others.

As someone who has been listening to Knowledge Fight for years, this is huge. He was really banking on one of his right wing buddies buying it for him. But the families made a deal (and lost money) so The Onion could buy it. And I think Dan and Jordan WILL be getting the desk.

I'm not sure I can keep telling myself "Its the propaganda, Its the brainwashing, Its media programming, Its mass hysteria, Its weird parasocial relationships with celebrities and politicians, Its just grief / loss at having their values rejected, Its immaturity." anymore.

I KNOW its all of that. For both sides frankly. But I don't know if I can keep telling myself its JUST that. I'm seeing people be GLEEFULLY and PERSONALLY inhuman to other people, and then going on the internet to tell people what GOOD people they are for what they ADMIT is pure hatred and dehumanisation and a JOY at the prospect of seeing formerly loved ones and family DIE.

This hasn't been DONE TO them. I think I'm reaching the stage of misanthropy where I just accept that the same hardware that had us wipe out the neanderthal is, has, and always will be what drives people. That as a species all we want is a person to love and a people to hate. That the hardware isn't changing, and the only change we want in the software is more righteous language to make us /feel/ like we're doing virtuous and moral things by deeming a chunk of people deserving of our ape-brained bloody vengeance.

"Yeah, well you started the hate by disagreeing with me and believing all the things the TV people tell me you believe, and I know it's true, because I see the secret messages you interweave in your comments that SHOW me and only me that you're ACTUALLY an inhuman who believes everything I suspect you of believing, so I'm going to make the world a good and noble place by feeding your heart to swine!" Sure. whatever. GFY. I don't fucking care.

You say this like this place isn't worse than both.

HA! That’s justice!

I don't mean this in an insulting way, sounds like too much internet.

Everyone posting anything political is exaggerated and performing and posturing to some degree, no matter how literally, LITERALLY, SWEAR TO GOD TRUE the person posting it claims it is.

This goes for everyone.

Reddit mostly. Though it's more random stuff and less news.

I feel guilty killing the saurs... But I still feel like story-game segregation worked well here, especially since it seems that for human enemies they don't necessarily die when they poof? In story quests/archon quests it seems they flee/are beaten. Anyway, the darker plotline of 5.1 still hit very much. There hasn't been any actual canon death tolls like that beforehand.

For the most part I 100% agree with you, but there is this one thing...a thing I saw in real life. I witnessed this in real fucking life between 2 people I know, who I KNOW are smarter than this, and more than that I know are COMPLETELY UNAFFECTED by the thing they were pretending to be so passionate about. It was an excuse. It was "I just really want someone I can hurt and feel like I've done a good thing".

But I guess you're right. It's definitely spilling out FROM the internet... Only before we had the internet, it was happening over the TV, before that books. It's 100% too much internet, but maybe it's too much people as well.

some people on fs admit they drop their family and friends over the voting. It's very funny.
I also knew you hated the bad treatment from anons here. What a time to return, huh. You missed the TERF anons as a positive though. People are no good and they gather on some sites more than the others.

My local newspaper’s website.

I set a timer or I can lose an entire day reading the news. I give myself 40 minutes per day.

Ooh yes! I wish there were many more fics that delved into how characters approach ethical dilemmas. Getting in their head and seeing their reasoning, how they work through complex situations (if they even work through them at all), seeing how they respond to the consequences... While more challenging to write, it would result in such a payoff.

Especially if the source material is something that doesn't dig too deeply into those kinds of questions; Sonic lets Dr. Eggman go and live another day, despite enslaving and experimenting on hundreds of thousands of animals. What happens when he doesn't, or when he's forced to justify those actions? If you firmly believe in the chance of redemption for everyone, what happens if you never see it become actualized? Great secret OP, thank you.

That sounds like a them problem, honestly. If they're then turning around and reporting that they were good little Whatevers to the internet for backpats, that sounds like even more of a them problem.

To be clear here, I'm not saying humanity is great. But people get stupid when they get to be loud for points. And loud people are the ones you end up noticing because they drown out everyone else.

Lol, yeah. My half brother turned uber right wing and I cut him out of my life.

Years later he and his wife made sure to call my 14yo and 11yo niece lying whores because my OTHER brother molested them (he went to prison for that). When that brother got out of prison, they made sure to move him into their house (where they have a young daughter).

He also recently (I heard from other family members) got a weird penis infection after a trip to Asia.

So, nothing of value was lost from cutting a toxic person who wants people like me to die (and votes accordingly) out of my life.

Politico.com
A few specialty sites and subreddits for specific topics (tech, science, books).

Well, it's not full of child sexual abuse images. So yeah, it isn't worst.

Anyone is allowed to drop anyone from their lives over whatever they want, tbh. (Obviously besides people you have a legal obligation to like minor children if you're a parent)

I don't know why the voting thing is somehow an exception and so many people are offended that random people they don't know would rather not talk to their family any more. It's fine to dislike your family.

While I have two wishlists (books & other stuff), I really just want some quiet time to be by myself. This has been a very tough year, and I, an introverted introvert, have not had enough alone time.

Mine is mostly socks that cost $25 a pair. I also use handkerchiefs a lot in the winter for cold drip so those are on there, too. I never, ever get socks or handkerchiefs because my family really doesn’t know shit about me. So I always make sure to throw some kitchen stuff on there, too. A gravy strainer, mini food processor, cheap immersion blender, just any low cost small stuff I can easily fit in my kitchen.

Art books. I am eyeing an incredible edition of Gustave Dorè's works, but it's almost 50 euros and I dont have the courage to buy it for myself.
I hope my family will put 5 euro each and get it to me... I need it.
I'd also like art supplies, but I'm difficult to please so generally people just gift me ink bottles and call it a day lol i use a lot of ink for sketching and writing so quality can vary and it'll still get used in the end.
Painting supplies are trickier. I get artist grade colours usually so I don't trust other people to buy me them for me.

Not strictly political so putting it here.

Who are some people you have dropped from your life or social circle and why?

Bonus points for the pettiest reasons!
