Linkedin serves a professional purpose so I can see why it'd be the most consistently searched. Like even if people don't actively use it, at least part its purpose is for hiring managers to be able to search a person and have their professional persona pop up. It's the most accessible way to find a version of a person online that's not restricted or under a pseudonym.

That being said, people that actively use it for anything other than keeping their resume up to date or job search/hiring are usually nutjobs.

You can still watch cat videos, they're just sandwiched in between hell and sadness to keep you scrolling.

I will stand by Pauly Shore's Pinocchio as pure art, but I can't promise that I've ever seen it sober, or that I've sat through the entire thing (I may have?).

I also enjoyed Wonka which has decent ratings but I've always heard people talking shit on it.

The movie was filmed down the street from where I grew up, so maybe for that reason or just for whatever lack of parenting reason, I watched this movie multiple times at the age of like 8 or 9.

I turned out okay, everything is fine. I think I need to rewatch it to check exactly in which ways it fucked me up.

Even my sims couldn't keep up

WFH has been a life saver honestly. I make sure to get everything that needs to be done for work done, but now if I finish my daily work or on my lunch I can do dishes, prep dinner, start the laundry. this is time that in office would spent "around the water cooler" or just wasting time. I normally get more work done when I'm at home than in the office tbh.

Unfortunately history says the only way to return society back to the citizens is violence. There's nothing else the oppressors will listen to.

Starbucks ditched DEI last year before the fascists were even in power. But don't worry, they have a trans person in their new ad so we can forgive that and all their support of war crimes now.

I'm happy to see the representation, don't get me wrong, but Starbucks can go fuck themselves.

I have a feeling in some places, it'll return to more of what it was at its roots and it'll be closer to an actual protest again.

Honestly just talking about it honestly and in a non combative way can be a great thing. I don't find it's worth it to do this with acquaintances or strangers, but just sharing trustworthy news and sources with people you know. My friends and I share whenever we find good, independent reporters.

Approaching the subject gently with people who are very against it can also help. My partner's parents are big Trash supporters (even though we are Canadian) so he opened the conversation with his mom softly by saying things like "well, some of the things he said he'd do are good, but look at all these other things hes actually doing". I think his stepdad left the room at that point so some people just won't be receptive, but if you think it's worth it, just try.

But number one, just take care of your own wellbeing. It's not worth it to argue a lot of the time, especially not with strangers, and you'll just burn yourself out which is exactly what they want. Use your energy on things you feel will actually make a difference instead.

Fanning?

They'd just do what they've been trained to do since 2016. "Fake news! Fake news!"
