How is that idolizing him? That's being strategic and fighting against Trump winning the election. There wasn't a massive cult movement of people wearing Biden hats and decorating their pickup trucks with 100s of Biden stickers. Biden doesn't have a personality cult. A lot of people who voted and would have voted for him don't actually really like him. Still, they realize the importance of not letting Trump win.
You're missing the point. Good attempt trying to play "BuT bOtH SiDeS" when it's the most clear and obvious thing that idolizing a candidate is a largely problem on just one side.

Yes, people often want things that work. If there are good reasons why there is clunkiness, then, if these reasons are commonly understood, more people will be more patient. Knowledge is power. That’s the point of this entire thread.
Sometimes I’ll run into a baffling issue with a tech product — be it headphones, Google apps like maps or its search features, Apple products, Spotify, other apps, and so on — and when I look for solutions online I sometimes discover this has been an issue for years. Sometimes for many many years. These tech companies are sometimes ENORMOUS. How is it that these issues persist? Why do some things end up being so inefficient, unintuitive, or clunky? Why do I catch myself saying “oh my dear fucking lord” under my breath so often when I use tech? Are there no employees who check forums? Does the architecture become so huge and messy that something seemingly simple is actually super hard to fix? Do these companies not have teams that test this stuff? Why is it so pervasive? And why does some of it seem to be ignored for literal years? Sometimes even a decade! Is it all due to enshittification? Do they trap us in as users and then stop giving a shit? Or is there more to it than that?

I’ve been wanting to watch it and your comment makes me want to see it even more.
I don’t live in the US anymore and Max doesn’t have English subtitles for some of their shows in my region, which is pretty annoying. Including for the Leftovers! That’s why I’ve been putting off seeing it. Haha. Ugh. It’s funny because I check it again every once in a while to see if there are English subtitles, which is how bad I wanna see the show.

This sounds wonderful.
I like seeing a group evolve and form good friendships. I also like sci fi and weirdness. For these reasons, two of my favorite shows are The Expanse and Severance. In both, by the end, I felt like I was “part of the team” in some way. What are a couple of your favorites? What kind of itch do they scratch?

This reminds me of the Garfield “FELINE!” meme from the other day. “WHALE!!!”

And some people get “bored” in life smh
And by *should have* I mean "should have" because this kind of thing can be subjective. I'll start. Senior year of high school I would often skip class to go to the park and smoke weed with my partner (at the time). This park had **a lot** of birds. The sometimes silly, sometimes strategic, sometimes social and cooperative behavior of the birds blew my 17 year old stoned mind. I remember my partner and I would theorize about what they were doing and thinking. I thought it was super cool. I still think birds are super cool. Now, many years later, I have a PhD in a behavior adjacent field. I don't study birds specifically or anything like that, but those experiences and curiosities pushed me in this direction. Maybe it was all inevitable: these are deep interests that would have been pulled out of me in one way or another. The tinder was inside of me and if it wasn't getting stoned at the park as a teenager and watching birds that sparked the flame, something else would have. Who knows.

It’s funny to think of life as a board game or a role playing game being played on the “astral plane” or whatever by our “higher selves.” Car problems etc are just really unfortunate dice rolls.

I did encounter a very sour group on a certain subreddit somewhat recently haha. But then just yesterday I was searching something online, found a relevant Reddit post through Google, and found a comment thread where two people were tearing each other apart for no reason other than a slight disagreement. It wasn’t a “hmm, I don’t think so.” It was a long chain where the further you went, the darker, meaner, and snarkier it got. Wish I remembered it right now. That’s what got me thinking and making the meme. But yeah, maybe my own experience planted the initial seed.

The law of conservation of fucks: a fuck given means a fuck taken since fucks cannot be created nor destroyed. Basic fuck physics.

Yeah, I guess that's the point: if you see a pattern of giving a fuck about something minor, it can become easier to work on not giving a fuck about it. Sometimes not giving a fuck can take fucks.

The true "no fucks given" app is the one that only existed as a thought for half a second before being shrugged back off into the void.

Incredible. I’m learning a ton and gaining a huge appreciation of it all thanks to everyone’s comments in this post.
I know the meme format is kinda wrong. It's also kinda right.
