Draining the swamp lol

I’ve been on Adderall since I was 9 and my relationship with food is basically waking up hungry, taking some pills, and then being hungry but having absolutely no impetus to act on it… And 12 hours after waking up everything wears off and it’s suddenly ‘food horny’ for lack of better word. Profoundly, ravenously hungry.

I’ve basically been training my whole life to saunter into a pizza place and order a 16" pizza and eat the whole thing in 15 minutes.

Professional competitive eaters are nuts tho, this pizza place near me has a challenge to eat a 16" specialty pizza, I did it for shits and giggles after work one day in like 20 minutes, but on their wall of finishers, a professional eater stopped in and ate the whole damn thing in 2 minutes and 49 seconds, that’s terrifying

It’s not like he has much choice. Sane, reasonable people aren’t exactly raising their hands at this point and the only people clamoring for roles are batshit quasi-politicians who have similar contempt for any institution that has a basis formed in reality but wildly different agendas

Edit: dunno why you downvoted me. Honestly, who else do you think would take these positions? Pence? Kelly? Barr? Mattis? Haley? Christie? Tillerson? Milley? Bolton? Scaramucci? Cohen? DeVos? Chao? Grisham? … Bueller? Dude’s a fucking joke. Take the wooden spatula and start scraping that barrel out because there’s absolutely nothing but sludge

There’s a substantial assumption that the wealthy know best how to manage wealth and the economy but it’s all predicated on the notion that those wealthy people are willing to act in the interest of everyone, when in fact they tend to act on their own personal interest (I mean, if someone has a net worth of over a billion dollars and they’re trying to accumulate even more money, that should give you a good idea how their policy will affect people who are making 40k/yr). They tend not to want to create jobs or increase wages more than they want to improve quality of earnings, because they stand to lose a lot and they somehow want more

If that alone isn’t enough to dissuade people with strong Christian values, there are 10 marriages and 25 confirmed children between those 4 guys, and the majority were born out of wedlock. Two of them haven’t even hit 50 yet. Gaetz oddly enough drags the average down with his vanilla ‘no kids, 1 marriage’ kind of lifestyle. Definite ‘keep dick in pants’ problem

Not nuked yet but if I gotta choose between being nuked for standing behind some pretty reasonable principles, or living and allowing some strong arm bully to do whatever the fuck they want under that threat, I guess I’ve found the hill I’m willing to be nuked on

It’s almost like they don’t understand that the whole reason Alex Jones is forced to sell Infowars is because he victimized a whole bunch of people who would not like to see anyone else go through what they endured.

Hopefully judge laughs in their face because this isn’t an arm’s length transaction and they’re probably intending to hand it back to him

Yay capitalism. Feels like just yesterday the big airlines noticed Spirit and Sun Country’s little niche and decided to just roll over them, hopefully they’ll keep posting losses to offer dirt cheap fares but we all know how this stuff goes

I think if this were broken down and listed by a few demographics like age it’d probably have percentages closer to what you’d guess, for a few groups. TV-loving boomers probably lower the average and Gen Z is likely well above 20% for example

Sometimes you just need a day or two where you don’t do a damned thing and there should be no shame in it. Self-care is often described as things one can do, active things, verbs. Sometimes the compulsion to always be doing something is the crux of the problem

Opine if that besoothes you, but Russia’s benchmark rate is >20%, their inflation is equally bonkers, and they’re now leaning on North Korean troops. There is definitely desperation in this war

I’m gonna preface this by saying I totally don’t support this so don’t shoot the messenger, but half of it was that Russia doesn’t have the resources to prolong this war indefinitely. For every dollar Ukraine spends Russia loses a couple, for every Ukrainian casualty there are well over half a dozen Russian casualties. Russia staying in this war is catastrophic for Russia so there are geopolitical reasons for people wanting this war to not end but to continue. Eventually Russia would be forced to give up.

But, now time is suddenly on Russia’s side because the new administration will likely withold aid in an attempt to broker a deal that will almost certainly involve ceding Russian-occupied land, so it’s basically a Hail Mary play right now. No more playing defense, push right to the end zone before the buzzer goes off. If they can actually strike where DPRK troops are staging, hopefully Europe can continue in the absence of the US, that kind of thing

My life would have been totally different if I saw this letter in junior high and realized Corporate Specialist sounds like the most fun job ever

I think the thing that would keep me sane is that I’m fascinated in trying to figure out how a single AI-generated paragraph can be accurately detected.

But yeah, the common permutation of multiple pargraphs, the first starting with reaffirm/validate/reiterate is downright obnoxious.

‘I’m sorry to hear you’re having such difficulties with editing ChatGPT-generated content. It can be challenging and even frustrating at times, but with’ lol

If I ever picked up a side hustle, it’d be basic editing. ChatGPT has displaced the ghost writer but it can’t polish its own turd.

Is this not the capitalist dystopia they wanted? It was an auction, The Onion was the highest bidder, and the discussion should stop there, right?

Fun hammer fact: it’s called dead blow not because it’s supremely powerful or anything, but because the head is usually full of loose material like BBs, and it causes the hammer to not bounce back as much, kinda like throwing a hackey sack at the floor

Now I’m thinking of a hammer tier list. Milled face framing hammer is clearly S-tier because you get to leave your mark

Also:

Endless redirects that attempt to keep you on the site when you want to nope right out and click the back button

They probably wish they could pin it on an entity and recover losses through subrogation rather than just taking the hit. By ‘taking the hit’ I mean all us taking the hit, but they’d probably like being able to shake money out of judgments and raise our rates at the same time
