I've begun asking, "Did you just make that up" before I share anything. A fair amount of the time it's like: "You're right to be skeptical, this doesn't seem correct. Let's reevaluate." Or whatever.

What exactly does OP want?

Bernie to pull out an automatic weapon or something? He's an elderly politician. He's also one of the only morally good politicians we have at this point in history.

Israel has controlled the USG for decades now. We support Israel because they have been intricately and impressively spying on us since at least the 1980s and bought and paid for most of our politicians. It's just that simple, they own our politicians, and therefore: when they do heinous evil, our politicians look away.

Ukraine was invaded by our largest rival on the world stage as a power grab, and NATO decided to help.

The two situations are not comparable in the slightest.

Two dishwashers, take the clean dishes out of one and when done put them into the other.

In perfect balance, as all things should be.

Probably be seeing the exact same level of protests, but with a different media spin that resonates harder with your implicit biases and fears.

Republicans also support Israel. It's a terrible two party system. I'm not sure why we're pretending there's a difference here.

My old coworker used to say this all the time back around 2018:

"What's the difference between AI and machine learning?

Machine learning is done in Python. AI is done in PowerPoint."

That's neither here nor there and sidesteps the point. Also, depending on how you define normies and nerds, it's a bit silly. You can't imagine a random person being worked up by being called names online. I mean, okay, if you say so.

Have someone refer to you as a normie and lmk if it feels neutral or derogatory.

Using the term "normies" paints you as having a superiority complex, which isn't the best look.

I'm 60 hours deep on Palworld less than two weeks in while maintaining a full-time job. I don't buy games to make statements, I buy them because they're fun to play. And this particular one really is a ton of fun to play. Yes, they're clearly ripping off pokémon and breath of the wild and elden ring, and I'm sure a few other games. But it's a lot of fun nonetheless.
