Strongly disagree here. It might not be possible to change them, but that's never for sure. OP should not let them say hateful shit just to keep the peace, and should instead keep countering it with facts even if it doesn't help. Don't make them feel like hatred should just be accepted. If they stop, maybe stop bringing it up as well.

I'm not from the US, and I've had to counter the dumb Facebook brainrot that got to my parents quite a few times. It's insane to see how gullible they've become, so it is important to keep challenging them. Recently I was hit with some nonsense about the moon landing being faked. Even some simple statements like "we still have those computers and programs, anyone could've checked whether those could viably land something on the moon" and "so many people would've had to remain silent for such a thing to be successful" was enough to counter the nonsense. But I just keep wondering how they keep falling for it. It's important to keep fighting (with words). Any seed of doubt may break their indoctrination, even if it's not immediately

That's a cool device. Honestly I'm kinda the other way around. I have plenty of film cameras now and also some digital ones, but no instant film. From what I've seen it's often quite sensitive to over- or underexposure. Also, instant film cameras are often quite bulky looking. It's the kinda thing I'd like to take to a party or festival, but compared to a digital or film point-and-shoot it's often much larger and heavier.

Wowie. I only once saw a very faint one. Hope to experience this at some point. But here in the Netherlands it's not very common unfortunately

Not sure if it's regional, but I despise wasps with a passion. I don't harass them, bit they sure as fuck harass me. The try to fly into my face, my food, my clothes, etc. and then when they inevitably get stuck or upset, they start stinging. I've been stung multiple times by wasps and it hurts like hell and is always their fault. Bees are chill, European Hornets are okay (because they tend to just ignore you), but those yellow and black wasps can rot in a special super hell.

Oh come on, it's just a little fun feature.

Nothing, too busy playing Hades II. Death to Chronos!

As a big Star Wars fan this hurts though. The Jedi: Fallen Order and Survivor games where my favorite Star Wars content after Andor since Disney took over. I was looking forward to the last game in the trilogy. But I don't want these people to get any money and I'm also afraid that the project will be affected anyways :/

Most companies have too many managers, but my brain could honestly use a few. At work I'm always impressed with how the management people hear all the ramblings of my brain going vroooooooooom and then somehow manage to instantly plan it in an organized manner and clear the chaos. If one of them could, like, be in my brain and do that for the rest of my life it'd be great.

This is like the moment when I got tested for autism. They asked "have you ever had a relationship?" and I was like "no I'm not attracted to anyone" and they just started writing furiously. Being LGBT+ definitely seems to score some points on the neurospicy test

They often are :3

Rich man can't be sad because poor people have it worse. What a dumb take. Roscoe went everywhere with Lewis and is very popular among his fans, why would he not share such a moment. If you don't care because "other people have it worse" then read something else.

As another commenter already said, we're also animals. Why would humans be the only beings who deserve empathy and love? A dog is no human, but they're also capable of building a bond with humans and likewise the other way around. They recognize us, share in our emotions, and take part in out lives. Such a loss hurts all the same.
