[QUOTE=Joshii;51340604]Trump getting presidency is awful etc etc but the amount of people I've seen come out the woodwork to blame all "white people" is really disgusting, especially when a lot of these same people want equality.[/QUOTE]
And people like that are exactly why Trump won. They inspired a huge backlash from people who feel ignored and stepped on.

[sp]do i avoid this article if I'm a smug commie even though I turned out for clinton in the name of lesser-evilism? that's my big question.[/sp]
at the very least read this obama quote
[quote]"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania," Obama said, "and, like, a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate, and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter. They cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."[/quote]
Don't stick to the last part and go "hah. these people are dumb." The first part is important, they feel betrayed by both parties, don't really have much of a chance to appeal to the two parties either, and because of that the chance to vote in an outsider was too good to pass up. It's pretty much this failure to win the rust belt that did Clinton in.
I've been saying shit like that in the article for a while. Shame people didn't actually pay attention and think that their attitudes towards conservatives and conservative views didn't help cause any of this.

So much for having a nice b-day. Fuck politics.

It's one thing to be right
But it's another thing to actually be convincing.
Another great example is atheism, and why I'm not really an aggressive internet atheist. It's because it doesn't work. You can bang on all day about science and inaccuracies, but people don't actually tend to care because that's not what brings them into the religion in the first place nor what keeps them there. It's a very complex belief, most deconversions I see (anecdote heh) happen on their own accord
Hotkey for step backward / forward in browsers is alt + arrows, so there's no way to use it one-handed.
One-handedness is really important considering hotkeys.

Do you not have a right hand alt?
[QUOTE=FlakTheMighty;51342000]Do you not have a right hand alt?[/QUOTE]
That is Alt Gr.
[QUOTE=Combine 177;51342003]That is Alt Gr.[/QUOTE]
It still works though.
I just used it.
Huh, might be "Finnish keyboard" only problem then.

It's partly the extreme lefts fault for getting Trump into power. Instead of shitting on people in the same way that the extreme right do, they should have tried to convince people in a better way.
These next few weekends at my job are going to be very awkward due to this election..
Oh did I mention that I'm the only white, religious, middle class guy there besides the manager and that everyone else is a racial, sexual and/or religious minority?
:suicide:
[sp] Just to clarify, not doing the suicide thing cause of them, just that it's gonna be awkward as crap as those guys are gonna be the front line to any changes that are made up in Washington D.C. [/sp]

It is. Though even if the right alt worked, it's a tad bit too far away even for my long spidery fingers.
I almost fucking died today.
While I was out for a driving lesson with my dad, some asshole pulled out in front of me because he was impatient about the traffic in front of him so he decided to fucking try to pass 4 CARS at the last second, damn near running me off the road...
And then flipped me off as he passed me.
I fucking hate people.
Fuck.

Glad you're ok. I'm going to be learning to drive soon and shit like this freaks me out.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;51342146]Had a mental breakdown and messaged my mom back after a while of no reply.
My brother's girlfriend messaged me saying that she doesn't want anything to do with me for a long time and to not message her.
So okay, I guess I don't get to see my nephew or my brother for an indefinite amount of time.
Trump's president, stepfather and mom are still playing head games with my siblings at home, I'm deep in credit card debt, and now I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to see them for months to come and I just can't fucking take it.
I just want to go to sleep, but I took this day off for my friend's birthday party. I really want him to have a good time, so I'll try to get through it, but he'll want to drink. I just hope I don't get too shitfaced, I've got work tomorrow...[/QUOTE]
I noticed you hadn't been on facebook in forever and I hadn't been on here in forever so I had no idea if you were even alive. At least you've got that going. Hope things get easier for you bro. keep your head up.

I've tried to get back into playing Overwatch because I genuinely like the game but I can't be compelled to do more than just play the game casually. The issue I run into is that just about every game I get into is a straight stomp with the other team made up of premade groups all level 300+ and my team is mostly people random people lumped together, all around level 100.

If it seriously only took this short amount of time, I'm seriously concerned about what the next 4 years is going to be like.
Theres two sides of this election coin, I have a Trump bumper sticker on my truck. I live next to a high school so I'm guessing some punks thought it was funny to tag my truck with the words 'Racist white trash' when I'm a Asian American. Luckily some Denatured Alcohol got most of it off but I'm so fucking mad.

The most annoying part is when I'm just playing quick play, get a game invite from people, and get NO whisper and then I have to ask "quick play?" "nah comp." and then have to tell them nah.
It's also somewhat selfish of me because their rank is about as far below mine as can be while still allowing us to play together, the system pulls some WEIRD bullshit in those situations. That weird bullshit doesn't end well for anyone on your team and I'm very vain so I ain't wanting that cool number by my name to fall

Bumper stickers just never seemed like a good idea. Not really going to blame the victim though, fuck them.
Facebook is so hard to read as well. So much shit from both sides, it's pretty painful to see people you agree with making shitty arguments.
I really hate my fucking family
My mom is a stubborn close minded ass that cannot take suggestion other than her own suggestion.
My brother is a fucking brute with short fuse with "violence is the only answer" mentality.
My grandpa is a grumpy asshole that loves to make things got worse for me.
Yesterday,i suggested my mom to increase the food portion for breakfast.
She keep insisting that the only thing i need is to sleep at fucking 10 PM million times.
My brother changed the wifi password at 10 pm so he can force me to sleep
My grandpa is adding fuel to fire,by repeatedly telling my mom to confiscate every fucking thing i have (Ipad,Laptop,Psp,etc)
Dear god,why everything always fucking escalate when i just give them some suggestion
Augh before when i was in class with the computer (as i always am) i was taking a look at facepunch and she was behind me, but i didnt notice me. She is one of this teachers that doesnt get anybody while playing games and else so behind facepunch i had a game (CS 1.6) and she asked me: Hey have you got the work done? I said: Yeah i have. I closed Chrome (with FP) and she saw the game, but i fucking had the thing done and now i have a fucking warning and if i get like 2 or 3 more they may get me off school for a while.
Trump's victory sparked a wake up call in the Netherlands for Geert Wilders who is like Trump who wishes to deport Muslims, close the borders and refuse all refugees.
Edit: What i mean is that he gained traction in popularity after someone like Trump could actually be a leader.

Hopefully it will act as a wake up for a lot of people.
This election and the shenanigans currently following are causing me to feel bitterness on a level that I didn't know was even possible for me to really feel. I feel gross and disappointed in myself. Yet at the same time I don't know why I can't stop mentally punishing myself for getting angry at people.

How long do you have until elections?
If it's a good amount of time, the cracks (or, gaping holes) in Trump's ideology might be showing by then.
Watch it be in January right after Trump is inaugurated
