It's sad to see so much hate. I wasn't reading anything about the patch when it came out and I was digging it, then I checked out reddit and it was all negative. I think at least some of it is just from the nerf patch numbers and not how it actually plays. GGG has a lot of credit with me based on how they've run poe1 so that might just be my own bias. They'll turn it around though, and I'm happy to play through the early access ups and downs.

I don't believe most people that go down this road are going to listen to any logic. Trying to combat it by telling them they are wrong and why just makes them dig their heels in even more.

You can ask empathetic questions and try to learn what brought her here. A lot of people start a normal amount of right wing, and then the internet feeds them more and more far right stuff and this happens. There's a sense of community and belonging to these spaces.

If you care about her and want to continue the relationship, ask that neither of you bring up politics and just talk about your lives, see if she has anything good going on, and encourage local activities if possible.

Channel 5 did a movie called Dear Kelly about a guy who went full conspiracy after losing his house and I believe custody of his kids. In the movie they talk about past trauma leading to this obsession.

Try to be compassionate if you can. It can be very difficult depending on the person and the existing relationship but I think it's the only real way forward. Alternatively I also think if they are abusive or too over the top just cutting ties with them works too.

It can be very frustrating, but I hope it works out. Good luck!

This kind:

"“It’s not as bad as they show in the news,” said a woman in a nearby park, who did not wish to be identified. Children who are vaccinated are “not as healthy,” she added"

If tariffs are bad for the country implementing them, why do we need to retaliate? Couldn't we just let them be and focus on building other trading partners?

I'm by no means suggesting anyone go and do it. But doesn't the constitution give the right to bear arms so the people can stand up to a tyrannical government? Seems like it would be legal

I think a lot of people need to just use WinAero. Get rid of the ads, the onedrive, Cortana, whatever else. Linux is great, but there's lots of people still tied to windows for whatever reason, and they should all tweak it. https://winaero.com/

I wish the statements that Canadians were making were more directed at Trump instead of the US as a whole. This should be all of us working together. We know this is not what most of the people want, including those that voted Trump. It seems like an easy time to rally together
