Transcript:

I've been a loyal Trump supporter since 2016.

I lost a job, friendships, been smeared online, doxxed, and pressed charges on people who've stalked and harassed me for supporting him.

If Trump doesn't want my support, because I care about the Epstein Files, then I'm done.

Bye.

+1.

Even if someone wholesome (Mamdani?) somehow took over the Democrats, or any cool party, I would never be "loyal" to them.

Maybe this is my old millennial ass shaking my fist, but I don't get why folks are loyal to influencers. Loyalty should be two way and reciprocal, to friends and family one knows personally, not asymmetrically to someone who makes a living from thousands following them.

Respect and admiration? Fine. But this guy's a poster child for why loyalty is too far. After all, what does Trump think of him?

Seeing “old millennial ass” just seems so wrong.

We’re the young generation, right? We’re like, 25 at most. Right?

I’m 40. Oh my god. I need a Camaro and a broccoli haircut so I can fit in with the hip crowd. Broccoli hair is still a thing right? Haha

Man it goes so fast.

Nah bro. We fucking pogslammed right into middle age. Our TalkBoys are rapidly approaching hearing aids. Our tamagachis are now our actual children.

We old brother.

(hehe), sure brother, you're still young. ::cracks open a beer and hands it to you:: have a seat in this lawn chair next to Gen X and tell us about it.

What’s funny to me is I grew up on gen x music and I remember looking up to those guys so much. They all looked like grown folks to me.

Now when I watch the videos, I see kids. It’s crazy.

This is a relatively new thing for me too.

I know.

Curls into ball.

I do have natural broccoli hair, though...

[–] Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

As a gen y (I refuse the notion of being letterless dammit!) I have no idea what broccoli hair means...

[–] Alaik@lemmy.zip 1 points 14 hours ago

Perm up top, shaved sides.

[–] aow@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

It's a perm, but for the youths!

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I didn’t either!

At least you still have hair! I started shaving my head a few years ago at 35. Still haven't gotten used to it, but I think it looks better than when it was thinning out in the front and getting stringy.

Not only am I blessed to have a full head of hair, but my younger brother has always been so much more handsome than me. Girls clawed to get to him, they fought to get to him.

It was so funny the other night when I was on a video call with him and his wife, and I don’t even remember the comment that I made, but she pointed out that he was bald, and I had a full head of hair and I nearly lost it.

I’m sorry that probably hurts you. It’s just a win for me, it was always so fucking easy for him. Now he’s bald and mad about it, and here I am with a beautiful lion’s mane.

He could read this comment easily, he knows all of my usernames and shit online.

So hey, I have a full head of hair asshole. Where’s your hair?

It’s so crazy though, everything I ever did, he did it better. Just across the board entirely. Still to this day, shit I busted my ass on for 25 years. He’s doing it better with no effort.

So all I really have is my hair. He has it all, the lucky bastard. It’s only right that he went bald. Nobody should be able to have it all.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ehhh I made it longer than all the other males on my moms side. They all went bald in their mid 20s. Gotta hurt.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah I’d say. I’m older now and things that would have killed me in my 20s don’t mean a damn thing now. Even if something does bother me, it just is what it is.

I don’t know. We get what we get. I’m crosseyed, can’t do anything about that. It used to bother me but it doesn’t anymore. The hair I do have is turning gray.

Whatever we get, we just gotta live with it. :p

Wait til you hit fifty, it's really disconcerting.
