I had a moment in 2016 where I was like......we are never gonna stop hearing his name again are we? Even when we had a new president, he still made the news every day and his ugly bloated fucking head in news blurbs or in random image searches. Its insane how we cannot escape him and even when he dies I think it will be the same and that haunts me.
Stay off the internet for a day? I hardly ever hear his name unless its some sound byte in the internet. Politics is a no no where I work tho soo your mileage may vary
I legitimately only hear his name here and on YouTube. Quit watching the news, get off social media, go on a hike/go to the beach/go outside and touch grass. We were never meant to be connected 100% of our lives. That's not to say you don't need to be involved in politics at all, but give yourself a break now and again. I took a few days off work this summer and went hiking and got out of cell service and it helped me a ton.
Hardly ever. Stressing about the news when it's literally designed to use human psychology and our penchant for _wanting_ bad news to feed you bad news over and over and over again so you keep reading made me mostly give it up. I'll read big stories and some local news once a week, but that's it.
Been off social media for a few years, tuned YT algorithm so that's the safe space. Have friends here and we chat every day, the issue is I like the memes and commenting. Wish *all* political posts were tagged but that's unrealistic
Like + sub to all content types you want, I turn off notifications so my phone isn't blowing up. "Don't recommend channel" to any suggested one you can't stand. Hit "not interested" on anything in your feed you don't want. Thumbs down + "not interested" to things you've clicked, then go to history and remove them. Takes some time but it works for me. Ex: I get fed tons of new comedians and podcasts but no right wing ones
The funny thing is he's posted about here mire than anyyyyyywhere else.
Really just looooove how Imgur became a sesspot of political posts 24/7 even encroaching on other tags and not tagging themselves. I don't come to imgur for this and yet that's 90% of the posts here now.
That's what I've been doing. I finally blocked the politics tag because I've been tired of it; I don't come on here to inhale more political posts. The amount of untagged political shit is insane.
As an Aussie, when Seinfeld dropped his "in cars getting coffee" with Obama, my first thought was "oh yeah, I guess Obama is still the President... makes sense." We just hadn't heard much about him here in Oz, after the win. And then Obama did the thing where his cookie wouldn't fit in the WH cafeteria milk glass and he said "thanks Obama" and I chuckled sensibly and went about my day... good times...
...I think one of us has memory problems. I mean, that's what I *hoped* would happen, but instead, I seem to vividly recall thinking "oh fer fecks sake" when Biden took office, and yet Imgur continued bursting at the seams of posts going "Trump this, Trump that". Will it ever end? Some will undoubtedly say "when he's dead", but I learned my lesson the last time - no, I think Imgur will be 90% "Trump this, Trump that" even decades after he's dead.
We were still making Hitler movies for entertainment 40-50 years later (eg Indiana Jones). Unfortunately with bullshit of this magnitude the stink never really goes away.
The worse thing to the rest of the world is how often we have to hear about your elected rapist. You're the only country who dominates the global news cycle with your absolute stupidity. Who's the prime minister of france ? No idea. The leader of greece ? No clue. But damned if we can go a day without some new crime against sanity being committed by an orange moron or his racist supporters.
Its not an issue if people tag their stuff properly, like i did with filtering out politics. Still get some political stuff that i just downvote on principle for not being properly tagged.
Some? I also have the filter on and every other post is still politics. They'll stop at nothing to ensure the full destruction of this community. That's what they want, a perfect little echo chamber where everyone just posts the same shit over and over to people who already agree with them.
Of everywhere I consume media, Imgur is the only place where trump represents such a high proportion. It’s funny to me that a group that hates him talks about him constantly.
It exemplifies an echo chamber. Nobody benefits from everyone always saying how much they hate him and posting pictures of him to say they don’t like him.
The only result is that Imgur is taken over by his stupid face and we all have to look at him and think bout him every few minutes.
did you know that the LYING LAMEstream media are LYING that Charlie Kirk was shot dead?! Everyone KNOWS that ELON sent him to Mars! ...CNN actually said Charlie Kirk was shot in the throat & died in a fountain of his own blood... & I bet they believe that Trump is a pedophile too, just because he's a pedophile! The gall of them!!
I keep accidentally, out of muscle habit, sweeping over to Popular on Reddit. It is terrible for my mentals, I wish there was a way to block that feature. I just want my silly hobby subreddit.
You gotta learn to put this shit down. I was a news and current events guy for a long time, but this is so crazy it started to mess me up. No more doom scrolling
It's why I push for tagging posts so hard - there are times when you just want to get away from it all and not have shit constantly flung in your face.
but you know what?? I tagged my posts, and Imgur removed my tags, put different tags, then people complained to imgur that my tags were wrong & misleading, & Imgur gave me a message with a warning. that happened twice this year.
I support this, but also because hes such a cult of personality, even when I'm enjoying the outside, his fucking name or face are somewhere, be it a hat, a flag, a bumper sticker or a random vandalized pole.
Yea, this is just called "isolating" and is absolutely not healthy. Like, it's not unhealthy in-of-itself to indulge in your fun but doing so specifically to escape the outside world is no bueno.
Like I get it, makes us feel like shit cause we know if we see his name, something bad is gonna come from it.
But we need to talk with others around us and process this shit, and find out that we are not alone in feeling like this within our community. Then, we can work together and change it.
There is no more traditional "community" in the states. You can live somewhere. Anywhere. And still be a million miles away unless you can buy in. By cash or by marketable identity.
Do what I do. Block users every time you see post involving him. If people don’t want to be blocked they can learn to tag their fucking post so people can properly use the filters.
New crop of rage bots every day. They follow the same pattern: new account reposts old cat videos and things to get some points, then after a couple of weeks turns on the fire hose of political rage bait. I'm tired of blocking a dozen or more new accounts every time I come here. Nowadays I check the DK dump and peace out without even looking at the feed
Same here, blocking a few of them every day, but they keep coming. What puzzles me is that these posts are upvoted and get to the front page. Who upvotes this stuff?
I'm going to read that and I'm going to take the longest deep breath I've had in a long time and finally experience peace. I don't know what it's going to feel like but I'm already dreaming about it. I am a man of peace and that guy is a piece of shit. We're not compatible and I can't wait to not
It will be a nice moment for that breath and we'll all rejoice with you- but I suspect it won't last very long. The cabinet of utter shitheels he employs will race to fill the vacuum as couchfucker takes over. I only hope it doesn't get worse.
I feel you like what the fuck JD Vance's Peter thills fucking cum sock Muppet. And I'm sorry I had to put those words together cuz that is a gross image
...what? Are you having a stroke? Do you need the bondulance? Clearly I don't like any of those pieces of shit. Couchfucker is simply next in lime when that orange prolapsed anus kicks the bucket and he's continuing ti prove that he's just as big of a steaming sack of horse shit so far.
Also, I've been drinking. I can vaguely point out what I was trying to express. I didn't see a problem with it in the text, but hey you know what I've been drinking, so if you ever a better explanation you know throw it at me and I will do my best to explain
I hope you learn from your mistakes, but I don't think you can. I know in there somewhere as a kid that actually remembers what it's like to have a fair game. But you've lost that. And I hope one day you experience peace again and lament your life. You've lived because that guy sucks
Fair in what respect? That my wages are driven down by illegal workers. That leftist cities have been playing catch and release with murderers and drug dealers? That my taxes are going to people who have never contributed to the country while our own citizens struggle with the cost of housing?
Wanting a horrendous dictator to die a natural death IS pretty peaceful for what he truly deserves. Thanks for pointing that out and giving credit to the guys on the right side of history. Kudos to you 'Gina gan.
Also. No. You dont get to play coy, lie through your teeth. You people have been saying 86 47 for months, Charlie Kirk was just killed in broad daylight.
You people are violent, you are dangerous and because you can't win politics without yelling, name calling and killing my vote will continue to cancel out yours.
because losing an election dosnt mean the winning party gets to be authoritarians who can do anything they so please including break the law or violate the constitution. and with the way 2026 and 2028 are shaping up, i promise you, you DONT want to set that precedent.
