    Anything Prince Harry and Megan Markle related. Just like the Konstant Kardashian onslaught, I turn away.

    US Midterm elections. Seriously, I am not from US and frankly who ever win will have 0% change in my life.

      Since any US elections always have huge impacts world wide, I’d say that this one, unfortunately, is something everyone should have an opinion about. Not for wanting, just for… Just because the US is a shithole hell bent on ensuring that everyone lives in a shithole

      Believe me I got better things to do but unfortunately the US just won’t stop ruining my day, every day, somehow

    Apparently some big name YouTube guy cheated on his wife or something? I never heard of him before, but every site I go on keeps talking about it. Most I can say is “cheating is bad”. Is that having an opinion on it? Like I don’t really care what happens to them once everyone moves on in a few days.

      I can never be bothered with the YouTube drama. Stay out of the influence the channels and it’s actually quite good.

      Casein point I have loads of subscriptions to various channels on YouTube, literally hundreds of different content creators all producing different kinds of content. And I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

      If someone gets a lot of YouTube drama and says they don’t want it, that’s on them and their subscription choices.

        Yeah the only time I’d care about YouTube drama is if it involves someone I like watching. Like I used to love watching Completionist, but then all the stuff about him not sending donation money meant for charity came out so I stopped watching. That’s about as far as I cared to follow the drama though. Maybe something more came out after he was called out with evidence, but I don’t care enough to go look cause I got way more than enough other people to watch.

    As a non-American, the US midterms. If the Republicans win then nothing changes, if the Democrats win they’ll probably do jack shit like they always do and Trump will just ignore them anyway so it doesn’t really matter.

      Us elections are bizarre because the democrats could win but trump would still be president. What’s the point in potentially changing the government structure halfway through an election cycle, why do it like that?

      Just have an election and then that’s your government for the next four years. Then have another election and elect a different government or the same government.

        It’s not really intentional to change the structure of government, just the result of 2 year terms vs 4 year terms vs 6 year terms. But yeah, like everything else it really builds on the current government dysfunction

        Well it’s never been like this before. The election is staggered, I assume, to keep the government in check. It gives voters the chance to make corrections. But the founding fathers didn’t know that so many different portions of the government would cooperate. In short, voting in new people, should change the face of the government if that is the will of the people. As it turns out, it doesn’t. So no REAL change.

    When I walk into a public bathroom, I don’t care what genitals anybody else in the room has. In fact, I don’t care what genitals anybody has. I suppose I would care a little if I intended to have sex with them.

    I dont know if its still going on but the Lindsey Clancy trial. I think she killed her kids and some people are using it to hate women and some are using it to hate men. I dont know why people are so invested. All I need to know was that its undisputed that she killed them and therefore she can be locked away. However the court chooses to do it jail or mental hospital doesnt matter to me.

      Remember that US midterms are right around the corner. The media networks, which are owned by a handful of billionaires, do everything they can to be disruptive and divisive. Black vs white, man vs woman, gay vs straight, trans vs cis, Christian vs Muslim. Anything they can do to distract people fron rich vs poor.

      So the Clancy trial gets blown up with a ton of attention. No one talks about Palestine or Iran. It even quiets some of the talk about inflation and jobs.

      Remember the Casey Anthony trial? That was October 2008. Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard? That spanned several years, but arguably most of the headlines were made around August-October of 2020.

      The truth is that these kinds of court cases are happening all the time. People go crazy and murder their families. It is waaaaay more common than being murdered by a random stranger. But you only hear about the ones that the Big networks WANT you to, and in a contextual narrative that that create.

    I do have an opinion about people that go out of their way to make lives harder for other people though. Fuck them.

      Sounds like mayor elections in the UK. I never even heard of any of the candidates. I don’t even know who won.

      They have made absolutely zero impact on my life and apparently they’ve had zero impact on everyone else’s life as well because there’s been no subsequent TV interviews, so they obviously don’t seem to be actually doing anything, positive or negative.

      I found out from John Oliver last night that last week there was a controversy surrounding some celebrity (whose name I already forgot), who wasn’t able to buy some kind of toy or something and that nobody could stop talking about it. But that was the first time I’d heard about it. So I guess I’d say that

      im not british, so these have no effect at all. i see these thumbnails all over yt for some reason, i was thinking" are UK people really into this garbage?and not the increasing problem of mass surveillance, and brexit which never was solved" might be something different if the queen does something, only because she has so much clout.
