Instagram is more racist than Facebook? I don’t use either but I’m behind the times

Yeah it was not fun to reenter the dating world recently but staying in a broken relationship would have been worse. I’m hoping good people still find good people through whatever medium. But I’m understanding that’s harder now (but still worth it). This type of idiotic take has always existed.

We are not always our quickest. My original response should have been something like:

Leave me out of it. Whatever you got it wasn’t from me.

But I thought of that too late.

If my original comment was better it would have been easier to reply to and carry on the joke.

If it’s me? I feel a little targeted here.

I went from SF to Chicago for a few hundred dollars for a couple nights where I got my own cabin (probably 450 total — that might have been the price all the way to New York or just to Chicago, don’t remember). But I only booked about a month in advance. That was around 2019 so maybe prices have gone up radically since then?

But the long distance train experience in the US felt closer to a cruise than a sleeper train in Europe which I’m used to (all meals included, lounge carriage and so on).

There are many systems that can work. I don’t think anyone in the rest of the world cares how you implement and safeguard the democracy. Just that you do it.

I think what is needed to repair relationships outward — and something that so many nonMAGA Americans lack — is humility. Look at the arrogance the UK had over Brexit and where they are today (albeit it could still get worse for them with reform). But they are moving slowly back to Europe and they will have a much lower standing for a very long time because of their utter stupidity. Thats what it will likely be, but amplified even more, for you guys. The trust is truly shattered.

So people joke about Obama getting the Nobel prize but it felt like it was the rest of the world rewarding the US for choosing sanity after 8 years of Bush.

There was a hope for things to get back to “normal”. Before then I remember Americans often wore Canadian flags cause the hatred was so high. I think people forget how badly the US fucked up then. (And this was the general feeling—not just the left who are well aware of the decades of problematic behaviour)

We’ve welcomed the US back once. Never again.

You keep fucking up the entire world because of your egos and your hate.

No “we’ve changed” or “we will change” rhetoric will work again until those who have caused this face consequences.

Fix yourselves before appealing for forgiveness.
