@ChasingWaterfalls@spinster.xyz OMG the retardation is off the charts these days. It's so ironic considering that we have more information at our fingertips than ever before. I love it and am constantly looking up various things. I try to get a balanced view but naturally have my prejudices and blind spots - I try to overcome those too. The people who exchange one religion for another are especially annoying. But most people can't seem to cope with the idea that nothing is ordained and we are no more special than the star stuff and bacteria we descend from. But also that start stuff and bacteria are amazing in and of themselves and we don't need imaginary gods to make them wonderful. So it's frustrating in many ways trying to talk to people who refuse to use the very medium we are all hooked up to, then accuse you of being the retarded one. I also hate the way people make assumptions about total strangers and start accusing you of things you'd never dreamed of. This idea that some people are above and beyond human because of accidents of birth such as skin tone and the country they happened to be born in is such BS it makes me heave.
