Is that the legit reason? I mean, in the times I grew up in, I would assume you’re being dramatic to prove a point.

Have you considered that you always misunderstood people’s goals and they were actually trying to warn you of this exact coming situation?

This isn’t some stupid timeline, it’s the result of 50 years of very specific effort by the right that the people you thought were being dramatic were just plainly warning you about with the appropriate level of urgency.

I really don’t understand how in the face of all this people still choose to bury their heads in the sand.

I love the desert heat. Chapped lips aside it’s my dream.

Chapped lips in the summer? I’ve only ever gotten chapped lips in winter.

You could’ve left that loaf like ten minutes more, you go through all that work and forego all the flavor.

In cabinetmaking my teachers used to say “doctors and lawyers” and it stuck to my life outside cabinetmaking. In music there’s so many people who can hardly play or only play in their basements who have gear my gigging punk ass would never even think of owning. I went to a pedal Expo recently and I had no idea what half the stuff was and I play in a couple of pretty successful bands.

Yo fuck that propagandist piece of shit Joe Rogan. Keep him off of my feed.

I saw a short horror film about this exact scenario a few months ago.

I was told my calves were absolutely shredded by an attractive woman. I’ll carry that to my grave.

I drive a delivery truck around the city for a living and watch taxis “drive” all day, I wouldn’t piss on them if they were in fire I don’t value them.

Taxi drivers in my city also have something else Uber drivers don’t- a licence that was bought decades ago and is limited to a certain number, they never expire and can be bought and sold between private parties and you end up with one asshole who owns a bunch and rents out the licenced car to drivers who pay him a rent. It’s a pretty hardcore mafia and predates on immigrants.

They are also fucking maniacs who almost kill people every day with their reckless driving, but Ubers do that too.

Wait my Zoomer buddy definitely has a wallet thicker that George Costanza’s. I’m starting to think the internet is just full of lies for making us hate each other.

I think Trump retiring and the Republicans replacing him with a charismatic, young, intelligent christofascist would be devastating for the Democrats (and humanity) right now and I don’t know why they don’t do it.

For that matter I don’t see why Democrats don’t replace Biden with a charismatic, young, intelligent social democrat which would be equally devastating for republicans. So who knows with these people.

Aww, he’s acting out because mommy didn’t hug him enough while she was too busy being a fucking genius and giving him everything.

A democrat won by 20 points in Michigan?? I’m pretty staunchly leftist and I think that deserves a quick recount.

Edit: this was very much a joke, you guys are understandably passionate but civility is still appreciated.

I try real hard to not only change my mind but vocally (typographically) acknowledge when I was wrong because it’s so goddamnit rare and infuriating.

Definitely better than that guy who dropped out of high school and did coke until his rich daddy got him a job and now he posts about how hard work and manifestation are the keys to success.

All I’m missing is the more niche communities to grow. It’s good to see lots of memes and engagement but a man needs more.

I know a dude who spent high school doing blow, dropped out of college, assaulted his mom while coked up, fucked around until his dad gave him a successful company in his late twenties. I watched this dude cry at the kitchen table because his dad told him to treat the employees as equals and not dirt.

He now posts almost daily on LinkedIn about the keys to success.
