Every time my brain tries to drift to McDonalds, I’m like “I could go get a Digorno which would be 1/3-1/5 the price” and then just sit at my house eating canned soup or something because I am fairly lazy.

I just had my third back surgery at 44. Spinal fusion, should keep for a decade I’m told before they have to add to it. Do core exercises and don’t use nicotine in any form if you have degenerative disc disease, which you won’t know about until your discs start popping like Gushers

A lot of us keep saying this: every time the word “trans” is mentioned in political debate, you just go “what the actual hell are you talking about when none of us can afford food or medical care?”

Trans rights, while morally correct, are a losing issue politically right now but the solution isn’t to hammer on them, it’s to completely ignore the narrative and redirect it to something real, that people actually care about (it’s the economy, stupid!)

The Angel’s Kiss I think it was known as

Which is why good, decent people struggle in this world.

Air America lasted about 5 years in the 2000s, and it was exactly this. The Republicans would never let their stations die like Air America did.

They want to win a lot more than we do. War is just business to us, no one is hyped up about this. For them tho, this is an opportunity decades in the making.

I doubt Amazon had any liabiliy here - the contract they make you sign probably says “we’ll try really hard but if we lose your data, it’s your fault.” Microsoft does that with Azure.

I do miss my mom, but then I remember her doubling down on being a conservative despite her gay son having nearly been killed in 1999 for coming out in HS. You can’t argue with stupid, and you can’t indulge it either.

CounterpointL people getting their news from social media and memes is 99% of the reason we’re in this hellhole

I had a friend tell me - you don’t get to pick your place in history, but there’s always something worthwhile to observe. Most people don’t live through the end of an empire, social decay, and ultimately… well, we know this won’t end well. But there’s something deeply romantic about being part of the resistance - I mean hell look at how much art is made about that.

Now obviously you have to ignore some things like how you can’t afford groceries and your life expectancy is going down (you’re already unable to afford rich people medical care, which is now diverging from the rest of us). But it’s really nothing compared to any historical turbulence like this. We aren’t in famine. Our life expectancy is way UP since then.

I can’t change any of this (beyond the serious community organizing I’m doing anyway) so looking at different perspectives is the only way to stay sane.

Do you know how credit cards work by chance

Dropping sick beats with 6% commission

DiCaprio who has no sexual allegations against him, surprises you - but a billionaire who buys prostitutes in a spa suspected of human trafficking gets the benefit of the doubt?

Like you can afford that after you borrow money for groceries and pills

You weren’t paying attention to the alt media igniting and fanning the flames as the pandemic unfolded, it was like Covid itself started broadcasting and posting on forums. Unbelievable shit. Felt like one of those “wacky wednesday” books but with, you know, more people choking to death on their own blood.

Dems embracing Christianity rather than rejecting it is how we’re going to get back in the game. You don’t have to believe, you just need to let someone who does believe go have that spiritual argument for you. And you have to just acknowledge that separation of church and state doesn’t exist and never truly has.

Says nothing about executive orders. Also the founders didn’t mean that at all. -John Roberts soon

Guys should take note, being yourself and even moderately goblinish can be hotter than being conventionally handsome, if you’re confident, and everyone thinks you’re well hung.

One of them - I forget which, Grande? Admitted to pushing that rumor to make it harder for Pete in the future, as women would have such high expectations. And yes as someone on the bigger side, I will say, tell people it’s average and let them be happy surprised, rather than claiming it’s huge and being a letdown.
