Ope Just Gonna
@futurecringe.bsky.social
Merging quarter life crisis into midlife crisis. Loving literature and non-fiction equally. Much better in person than online. Fiercely cynical outwardly as a defense and cure for the uncomfortable truth that everything happens how it will.
If you post on Facebook that you put on 7 sprays cologne minimum they might charge you with murder for when someone dies of a heart attack. Post responsibly.

I have a right to say stupid shit online and then block anyone who calls me out for saying you can’t update an IPad without a computer. -real, actual Bluesky users

Everyone I meet in person loves me because my online presence is my picture of Dorian Gray -every asshole online ever including myself (but I’m also just legit bad at posting).

Seeing a lot more half-famous people restricting replies on here and it’s just a reminder that everyone feels so entitled to their dopamine now they can’t even be bothered to interact with the digital proletariat in any way. Funny how that works even when the stakes are literally nothing.

We’re going to be doing DEI for guys with 80’s slickback hair. They’ve been treated very unfairly over the last 30 years.

It helps to think of them less as people and more as brands. Once their morality has been bankrupted they are propped up by name recognition and venture capital much like Chuck E Cheese. Staffers largely do the work and all they have to do is not fumble the bag when they talk in public.
i cannot believe that after Biden and RBG we are still having discussions about whether 80-year-olds should hold public office. they shouldn't. flat out.

Has anyone ever met one of the middlemen the podcast advertisers cut out? What were they like? Why do all those products end up at Target and is that not a middleman? They sell me on the direct to me model as better for everyone and then boom, middleman.

Many people don’t know the CR includes a prohibition on sales of athletic shorts to anyone who’s ever had a near death experience and used it as an excuse for their dumb decisions for the rest of their life. @fetterman.senate.gov

If you call Fetterman tell him there’s a provision in the CR eliminating Finish Line’s annual BOGO on athletic shorts.
Call each of these Senators to NOT vote with the GOP & instead grow a spine. Each number starts with 202-224

Schumer - 6542
Hassan - 3324
Peters - 6221
Durbin - 2152
Schatz - 3934
King - 5344
Shaheen - 2841
Fetterman - 4254
Cortez Masto - 3542
Gillibrand - 4451

They’ve been trained to be this way by their hyper-online, high-information, “I am very smart” voting base. If you don’t take anything but 100% as a win everything in politics is a loss. Repubs will crow about getting 5%, claim it as total victory, and gain voters tired of losing for it.
The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

I’m not one to donate to politicians and it looks like there’s even less reason to start now.

If you’re one of the people who does, may I suggest taking that money and giving it to someone who needs it directly instead? Believe it or not, we can try to care for one another. Check on your neighbors.

Everyone making a plan like dying quickly wouldn’t be the most pleasant option. Go ahead and zombie proof the prison, I’ll be right behind you, no don’t wait up.
The zombie apocalypse doesn't scare me. Eat my brains. See if I care

I used to worry about what would happen to me but then I realized everything was me so now I worry about what’s going to happen to me.

It’d be a lot cooler if more of you identified as “worker”. Idk if this is surprising to anyone but making you think you need to be unique to be special is how they keep you from organizing, seeing others as equals, and taking collective action. You’re special enough if you have each others’ back.

I’m so emotionally intelligent I say stuff I know people want to read online even if it’s literally making people worse at interacting with each other in real life. -possibly you?
March 2, 2025 at 7:24 AM
The point seems to be that you think you can call people hypocrites and it changes their mind but it turns out that’s not a very effective communication strategy. One might even say mocking reveals a deep-seated hatred below your performative “empathy”.

He doesn’t run away from a chance at media coverage. What are they going to feel bad that the dems aren’t there? Ooh I know they’ll give equal coverage to the empty chairs instead of showing literally everyone in the house applauding. Taking your unpopular ball home isn’t strategy it’s cowardice.
Trump runs away all the time and people love him
Shit like this is why democrats lost the Midwest. Yeah, it looks really tough to run away. Pathetic.
March 2, 2025 at 3:44 AM
Big brain Blue Boyz: Dems should try making a principled stand in a way that media will be able to easily ignore. That should shame them into changing their ways. You will never win another election where real people vote thinking like this.

Trump is violating the Constitution and ignoring court orders. Why would any Democrat go listen to this dictator?
Attending the speech would be more performative than protesting it. Why should they legitimize an authoritarian’s lies about a nation he is actively destroying? We are still waiting for our lawmakers to collectively stand up to Trump and show us that they take this crisis seriously.

When people look at our era of history they’re going to be really proud of the way Silicon Valley took the idea of making everything worse and more expensive at the same time and added a subscription model to it.
February 25, 2025 at 4:57 AM
There are people who will say shit like “well I had to (insert bad situation) and I turned out just fine so why is anyone complaining about (bad situation)” and they don’t understand them saying that is actually evidence they aren’t just fine.
February 25, 2025 at 12:33 AM
Maybe calling people who believe stuff that isn’t true “stupid” instead of treating them with the same grace we would offer ourselves if we were mistaken isn’t a viable political strategy? Who knows though let’s keep doing that and using broad generalizations instead of personal stories.

Someone should look into farm subsidies if we want to save a bunch of money. Between eliminating that and crop insurance we could have a bunch less millionaires crowing about government waste while being unable to earn a living without it.
February 15, 2025 at 2:53 AM
Remember next time a midwestern farmer starts talking shit about anything: we grow corn for livestock to eat, it’s not sweet corn. We grow SOYbeans, not green beans. Potatoes - Idaho, sweet potatoes - the south.

Pigs will eat almost anything and cows can be grass fed. Use this as you see fit.

My favorite part of tonight is that Patrick Mahomes is so used to looking for flags to bail him out he’s still doing it while down 34 with under 5 minutes left. @chiefs.bsky.social
