A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
Rules :
- Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
- Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
- Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

I can't stand how dumb I am.
I can't stand how dumb you are either.
Nah, youre already smart because you know you dont know it all. The issue is people like my friend who thinks he's going to go work in data centers because ai is totally the future (he's an idiot that believes he's a genius, and that ancap philosophy is foolproof, oh and he hates lgbtq people. He's constantly on X, loves elon, and watches all the manosphere videos on YouTube).
Youre miles smarter than those people.
why is this person considered your friend?
I ask myself this sometimes. He is just following the wrong path and really likes to be a contrarian on everything, so he gravitates to bad content. He is at least receptive to other viewpoints so its not a total lost cause. He has a deep seated mistrust of government but for some reason blind worship of corporations (see:atlas shrugged). Which I know is a paradox since they are one and the same.
