Fiber is good for you.

You don't have to. It's socially accepted and preferred if you do, but I have, and have had done to me, simply ignoring the question and moving the conversation forward to the point.

I live in Canada, we follow a lot of the same here, I try to be more genuine than the average and give a nonspecific but truthful response. Anything from "I'm having a day", to "it could be worse", or "not the worst" kind of deal. Basically setting a low bar for how I'm doing and saying I'm somewhere above that.

You don't have to reply with "fine", but it's one of the fastest ways to end the greeting part of the conversation and move on to more important topics.

More or Less.

Personally I blame the absentee voters. People who could have voted, but didn't, and by not voting, indirectly supported Trump in winning the election.

Unless there's a serious shake up of how things work in the USA, there's shit all that can be done about it now, since getting him out of office requires that the people near the top (senators/Congress/whatever) need to take action in indict him and start the process of ejecting him from office, but then they'll be left with the current VP, and I'm not sure that's better.

Either way, nobody at the top is taking action against Trump, so the whole thing is moot. They have grounds, but they are not willing to do it.

GG. RIP the USA.

Either people voted against him, for him, or abstained from voting (implicitly agreeing with whatever decision the majority made).

The last two groups there, vastly outweighed the first one in this election.

You're right, not everyone wanted this.... But that's how democracy is. You vote and, at least in theory, the person that the most people vote for (believe in/agree with), is then made president.

By definition, democracy will always have people who didn't vote for the current government.

All I'm saying is that either by action (voting for Trump) or inaction (not voting), a majority decided that he should become president.

I think you mean "over". (Thanks, I make many typos, just returning the favor)

And.... Didn't Trump get the popular vote this time around? So more there were more voters for Trump than anyone else?

Idk. I don't live there but I know your voting system well enough.... Since everyone wants to talk about it, apparently.

The fact that he won, even by a small amount, which... In this case, he won by more than a small amount, is the point. You and your fellow Americans knew what you were signing up for, and you knew what he was saying he will do this time around. None of this was a surprise. He's been talking deportation and tariffs for over a year. Now that they're here, suddenly a lot of people are regretting their decisions.... Again, this was not a surprise. They voted for this and yet take issue when this exact thing happens.

There may be many people who didn't vote that could have, who would have voted against Trump, but the fact is, by not voting, you are implicitly agreeing with whatever decision is made by your fellow citizens. Putting the decision in their hands. As someone once said "if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."

Either you voted for it, you were okay with letting others decide and you're complicit, or, you were part of the minority of people who voted against Trump. One of these three things is true for each and every American.

I'm sorry, but this is what the majority of the people in your country wanted.

Real fan?

Bitch please. We've put up with your crap for so long and we still play it....

Get out of here with that horse shit. Get fucked. Fuck you, and the horse you rode in on. At best, I'll wait for a sale, at worst, I'm never playing your goddamned franchise again because you've run it into the ground with enshittification.

Rip.

Good luck buying a new one with all of * gestures at everything * this going on.

Nobody is except one person. It's Mr Rogers in a blood stained sweater.

You see, "how are you?" Isn't a genuine quotation, it's just a way of saying "hello" and feigning interest in someone's well-being. In all actual fact, nobody gives a shit.

Just say "fine" and move on.

No. You and your fellow citizens voted for this.

Do snails grow noses at night?

I'm not sure who they were trying to fool? Bluntly, if you're keeping your passwords in a local repo using strong encryption via something like keepass, you're generally not the kind of person to see "KeePassXE Pro ultra mega best edition" and blindly download it without vetting the source....
