I was an adult when 9/11 happened. After growing up in cold wars, Gulf wars, recessions, etc. that day was extremely horrible, but also felt like just the latest big symptom of an ongoing downfall.
My parents’ generation had the Vietnam War as their One Big Important Thing, their parents had WW2, etc. Like other commenters are saying here, what seems like the One Big Important Thing to you is really just a matter of where on the running timeline you happen to be. I find the best way to gain perspective is to examine and understand the entire thing, that’s the only way I think anything constructive can be done about any of it.


I wouldn’t assume he even knows “shall.”


Especially when Lemmy now has a field to fill in alt text when posting.


The best scene in Star Wars was when Darth Vader was curled up at the Emperor’s feet crying and whining that he was the cool rebel really.


If someone is trying to use a particular text to justify their shitty behavior, the ability to point to that very text can be useful when criticizing their actions.
If nothing else, either you or they will probably learn something from the interaction.


Non-Christian and non-Bible person here, but I think it’s probably best to be accurate about citing these things:
Revelation 13:16-17 King James Version
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

When every possible thing is this fucking freaky, we can indeed freak out about them.


Along those lines, the sticker shop from the story has since come out with one that says “I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy.”


Also, “dude” will still be “dude” in another 40 years while “bruh” will have faded from the lexicon and been replaced by a succession of a couple dozen other things.


I want you to know this is the first comment on here which sparked my “I have to give this comment gold” itch left over from the old place. Nicely done!
