-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The thought that I could one day have a stroke and lose my mental faculties like this is scary ngl. Fetterman still being in a position of power is a failure of the system at this point. I'd feel bad for the guy if he wasn't a rabid genocide supporter.
He was racist and aggressive long before this.
The same man who held a random Black man at gunpoint also being a zionist and having outbursts like this isn't a huge jump, white people just didn't care before because uhhh he wears shorts all the time isn't that funny
His behavior has gotten worse since his stroke but he's been like this
Yeah the "put up a thin veneer" part of his brain was the part that atrophied. His values haven't changed much.
Strokes CAN cause personality changes but they can also just make you lose your filter. It becomes too taxing to keep up the mask.
I would argue your filter is a huge part of your personality. Many people have harmful impulses, internalized bigotry and think mean thoughts sometimes. Becoming a better person is not about cleansing your thoughts of the impure, it's much more about keeping your bad impulses in check. Sharing things you would like to keep for yourself, watching a movie with your partner you couldn't care less about, being kind to someone who makes you feel intense jealousy, these kinds of things. I don't think it's fair to say that losing your filter because of a stroke "reveals who you really are".
I know Fetterman had terrible views before the stroke already. It's more so that I think it's scary how you can have a stroke and suddenly become so much worse to the people around you because you lose control over yourself.
What's crazy is they will just vote him in again
I just don't understand this country
Just want to point out that he was running against dr oz in the general
"Rubbing against Dr Oz" well as long as everyone contented I guess...
Didn't know Fetterman and Oz were on OF lol
I'm not fixing mine and you're a coward for fixing yours.
AUTO CORRECT HAS SPOKEN, WHO ARE WE MERE MORTALS TO CHALLENGE ITS WILL?
Lol I agree but I fixed it before I saw your reply
Could you explain to me how to read this? Is it "contented" as in the adjective meaning satisfied, or is it something else pronounced like "YouTube content" or something?
I feel like the emo girl in this meme right now:
There's multiple layers of making fun of typos. But it is being used as a verb, meaning to make content.
Yep!
I really feel like the end result is the same
Perhaps, just wanted to point it out.
