What do you want, OP? Like honestly, who's your example of a good politician if Bernie isn't good enough for you? I'm legitimately curious.

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.

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.

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."

I can imagine a social butterfly looking down on nerds. Although I gotta level with you: that sounds like something that would primarily occur in high school to me. Maybe you're grown and still dealing with that, but either way: using the term normies is not going to help at all, I assure you.

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.

And by commenting this, you're now on top with the superiority complex, lol. Getting to feel superior to both of us, bravo.

Yeah, OP was for sure putting people down with this meme. You're arguing in bad faith here, putting aside the very obvious for the sake of having an argument.

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

I'd never heard of S mode until my aging mother needed to get on a Zoom call with her doctor, and I couldn't install the app on her laptop because of it.

I set her up to use the web browser mode instead. Leaving it on was for the best at that point. I kinda figured S mode meant senior mode like for old people or something, idk. It certainly prevented her from installing anything bad by accident: and it was just a youtube and email thing for her anyway.
