I’m asking genuinely: I understand that VOA is bad, but isn’t any ruling which blocks the mass firings from DOGE and trump a good thing?

Ffs I literally just got proton. Fuuuuuck that

They’re not complaining about not being able to share memes in the way they want. They’re complaining that, in the example they shared, they didn’t choose to share the reel with their friend, instagram just automatically did it. And they couldn’t find a way to turn that feature off. Furthermore, there’s a certain anxiety that many people have bc of how immediate and constant social media is. Like how read receipts put you on a timer to respond bc if you don’t respond fast enough then people think you’re ignoring them. Or if they see you posting or like some posts and not theirs or not responding to them, then they might get upset with you. So it feels like you have to constantly manage all of your relationships all at once bc there’s constantly a spotlight on everything you do if you use social media to connect with your friends in any way. Like are there alternatives? Yeah, but unless you really limit your friend group, there’s gonna be people who prefer to contact you via social media. It’s hard to avoid completely

If your dad can’t respect your privacy and stop sharing your personal info, then it might be time to limit what you tell dad to only strictly necessary things and make sure he knows it’s bc he can’t be trusted right now

There’s virtually no difference between this and divine right to rule. The rich deserve to be rich bc they worked hard is basically the same as God rewarded them with riches for being good. Either ways it’s just saying the rich deserve to be rich bc they’re better. And some of the common people have always gone “hey I’m pretty sure the only difference between us is what families we were born into”

I will say, it’s not all republicans. And I mean this in a “there’s still the slightest sliver of hope” kind of way, bc my church is hella republican leaning, with lots of old people, and they’re all fucking pissed at Trump and Elon. Like they’re calling him King Trump (mockingly) and a lot of them have complained about Elon doing the hitler salute. And yes, they’re the idiots that voted for him and are now complaining that he’s doing exactly what he said he’d do but this is our best time to try to push them back towards “normal” republicans rather than the openly fascist ones
