We really need to return to a differentiation between ‘dooming’ and ‘concern trolling’.

There are valid concerns that can be brought up without acting as a demoralizer like concern trolls do. “I am concerned about Trump’s action on this, someone explain more info” vs “I love Trump, but this is really concerning, maybe he’s compromised/unable to act”, which casts doubt on Trump and makes him seem potentially useless or corrupt, in violation of rule #1.

Dooming, as it started and I still view it, is just blackpilling. There are days when every Pede gets into a funk, but no matter what happens, it’s never as bad as we imagine it will be. 4 years of Trump have shown that he is not to be underestimated. If we are in a funk, it’s not a good time to be spreading negativity all over others that might be pushed into a dooming frenzy of their own. I think a lot of this is actual infiltration, but we should be aware of ourselves. Lift each other up, not demoralize.

I know a lot of newer Pedes come from other news sites, and those comment sections are full of angst. TDW can be a positive place without complacency or being unrealistic.

Nah, we’ve been called /pol/‘s retarded younger brother since 2015. It’s just that if you were on reddit towards the end, the speech policing got pretty heavy. This is just the natural progression of lack of censorship.

Heck, just buy old Nintendo consoles to give them an appreciation of older technology. Every generation has had good games, especially multiplayer for families. Pokémon Stadium 1 and 2 were the bomb for me and my siblings.

That’s why the protest/rally on 1/6 is so important. We need to show the power of the MAGA movement for the world to signal our allies and warn our enemies.

Same, this just looks like an old school Christmas ad, and I’m hungry.

Yeah, however you feel about it, many of the posts are just leading questions. I’ll take people waking up to something that actually tries to get them to think beyond the MSM programming than just staying on Fox or CNN.

If it’s true, then great. If not, well, it’s just another thing in a long line of psyops we and Trump have dealt with. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Holy crap, and people complain about Lord of the Rings? I’d rather sit through a straight 12 hours of extended LoTR releases than 3 hours of Titanic.

Don Jr. looks a lot more like his grandfather imo. Baron definitely looks more like his dad than the others do.

I think some of that is due to mobile users. My phone keeps trying to autocorrect ‘pedes’ to ‘pede’s’, and it’s irritating.

At this point I wouldn’t rule out an outage. Cellular might be slightly more dependable in such situations, but I’d expect Google to be down for sure. They’ve been very open in their relationship with China.

Ah! What about mesh messaging apps? They were used in HK during the protests, and don’t rely on cell towers or Wi-Fi. (https://gizmodo.com/how-mesh-messaging-apps-work-and-why-you-might-need-on-1837859615)

There are tooooons of free contact management programs.

I’d go a step farther and print out your contacts so you have a physical copy in case. Heck, make sure all your important passwords and stuff are written down, cause if an email provider gets taken out, people are going to be hurting for password recovery.

I think we should go back to the concern troll rhetoric. It is better to clearly differentiate between actual trolls and pedes that are dooming and need to be reassured.

The concern trolls have been using doomer as a cover imo.

Does GE do any federal contracting? If so, please make sure to report them to OMB. Trump banned CRT training for federal contractors.

If there’s a chance of impalement from crap wood breaking, I’d say go for it.
