and vote harder too. lol

i REALLY dug all the badly done 80’s retro layer that they (intentionally?) applied sloppily all over that movie and a miami vice version of it would be perfect for the vapor wave aesthetics alone. lol

i was wondering what it was.

sigh i guess i’ll just to have to focus completely on working today. lol

also, your penis isn’t a muscle. lol

Share it here in the open so that everyone can learn of your character

i’m convinced that we’ve barely scraped the surface dimensions that make life a possibility; the 26 dimensions that we know about already explain why we’re not already seeing other life and the rest will show if it’s possible to find them.

this is why i stopped driving out of necessity; i learned i’m prone to road rage.

now i only drive to go visit a fuck buddies who live in the suburbs and it puts me in a fantastic mood back and forth. lol

i’m curious too.

a little part of me is thankful for it because it caused me to think about how to make plans in the (i suspect) inevitable situation that my ruling class feels like lemmy.ml is getting too popular.

as someone who grew up a shitty neighborhood: these are godsends for halloween. very few people can afford to give away candy in shitty neigborhoods so we always did halloween by traveling through affluent neighborhoods growing up.

real world alchemy. lol

i wonder if the eu would ever come back to the table knowing w certainty that another trump is waiting in the american political wings from now on.

knowing that their people been propagandized similarly to americans makes me think that they will due to the profit motive.

you would think that respected journalist would make you wonder if you were doing the right thing; but i suspect that blinken would see it like it’s much ado about nothing.
