Seeing the responses here … and it’s no wonder why Trump’s in power.

Not for leopards apparently though.

Snowflake losers is what they are. Doing their little protest like children.

Crude but definitely not grotesque.

News organizations will spin shit as well and then propaganda networks will flip things.

The head of my men’s group therapy heavily recommended Peterson.

They saw Jan 6 and still voted for this. They’ll go back for sure.

I recommend watching this video from Jennifer Lee: https://youtu.be/U6MhV5Rn63M

It talks about the history of Chinese food in America it’s great. Echoes some of the flavours you’ve experienced with some fun context.

I kinda do and I don’t. Half of those people would call me an ethnic slur behind my back.

I’m British/Canadian and when I was in the UK during Brexit I was chatting with my friends and my Austrian friend said this to me: “we will be fine, we’re smart hardworking men in the economy … we may not eat as well, but we will find ways to eat.”

We vote to make sure we’re all safe and they vote to only make themselves safe while instead putting us all in danger. I’m all out of fucks to give to any of these people.

All the “freedom” fuckers are like “I want to the freedom to be vaccine free!”

Well the freedom to swing your fist stops at my face. What about the freedom for me to not be infected? Fucks sake, the only way people should be able to be free from our main vaccinations are if they can be sued for damages that they caused (which we can’t do).

I think they look more futuristic or rather most people think so. I’ve seen some say it’s because they’re aerodynamic and it’s better for that but I don’t know how much drag that could cause at typical speeds.

What’s weird about Tesla is not just the door handles getting in but also coming out too. They have like different ways of getting out if the electric door fails.

I’m sure your specific instance is justified and in doing so, you don’t need a random internet stranger like myself to tell you it’s okay.

Holy shit that’s actually Tom Selleck selling reverse mortgages! What the hell happened man!

He also hung along with some Palestinian youth in the same trip it seems: https://x.com/ConanOBrien/status/902551821583081472

A lot of these people are likely tech folks. A lot of tech folks get high paying jobs. They used that pay to buy rental property.

A lot of these guys are landlords and are trying to convince people that the rent they charge is fair, market rate, and a favour because they’re taking on “risk” while you pay for their mortgage.

I’m extroverted AF and post-COVID I’m stuck at home a lot. Most of my friends don’t go out and I live a bit in the burbs. I don’t like drinking and driving and public transport isn’t great. I prefer not to spend $100 to get a cab home.

One old friend called me out of blue and we hung out a few times before he gave me a sob story about his finances and I “lent” him $10K which I’m sure I’m never getting back.

I still make an effort to see people but I’m kinda tired. My hands hurt now because I’m on the computer all day for work and afterwards too. I miss doing things outside of work and winter in Ontario doesn’t help right now.

I listened to the Lolita podcast and it’s a great one hosted by someone who was a fan of the work and it made an impact on her.

It seems so many interpret the story of Lolita to be a tragic love story like Kubrick and it seems Rowling. It seems as though the more sensible interpretation would be a story about abuse and power where you’re made to empathize with the unreliable narrator, Humbert. I always get an ick when I hear people say it’s a love story.

I mean I loved Orson Scott Card’s book Ender’s Game and the get turned out to be a right-wing loon. It doesn’t change how I feel about the book.

Reminds me of this

“The Faces of Depression”

I’ve been clinically depressed in the past. It’s a tough fight. Also, a mix of imposter syndrome of telling people I didn’t really have depression and then hating myself while being depressed …

Brazilian influencer who defended US immigration crackdown arrested by ICE Trump supporter Júnior Pena falsely claimed migrants being rounded up, including Brazilians, were ‘all crooks’

I’m willing to grant him an exception, not “all” but at least 1 from my count
