And if you out your charizo in there, it’s going to come out looking like landjäger!

With a guy who has been caught red handed doing so many awful things, there is little to be gained by wild postulation. Currently the best delineation we have between the sane and the insane is a respect for verifiable truth.

I totally agree. The dude is aging, and not the greatest candidate for advanced years, we’ll say. He’s worth 9 figures. Please just hire someone to ghost write it and supervise their direction closely. He would more than recoup the financial hit in sales, so it could be argued it wouldn’t even cost him anything.

I don’t know anything about Trumps childhood, but it feels like he was raised by fairly cold, taciturn, sociopaths. I wonder if his whole childhood was just a masterclass in tantrums and getting a reaction out of people. Would explain a lot about his stengths and weaknesses.

Well, for one example, the British monarchy is about 1500 years old and they’ve done nothing that didn’t serve the cis white community to the detriment of anyone who isn’t a religious white straight person across the entire face of the planet.

I would argue that you should consider who writes the history books and who they serve.

As for real people, I see them everyday. As for breathing people, there are far fewer queer and brown people than there should be, because they were murdered, stolen from, subjugated, repressed, and neglected as a course of standard operating procedure of the “status quo”.

This is a very generous estimation of the depth of their logical thinking.

My personal read is that cis people, especially cis white people, hate pronouns/genders and racial celebration because it’s something they can’t have. That they can’t control. And that doesn’t hinge on them. They’re boring, and insignificant, and they’re bitter and jealous about it.

It’s like a kid who doesn’t want to play a game anymore because they aren’t winning. Not to suggest that they aren’t winning, because by all accounts they’ve been winning for thousands of years. But even still, the panic they feel from any lack of understanding or loss of control is responded to by smashing the game board and pouting with their arms crossed.

Believe it or not, your understanding is not essential. Unfortunately for you, truth is nuanced and not conveniently delineated. Just because you can’t grasp it, doesn’t make it a mystery.

Give me a break.

Cis people have received an inordinate number of breaks for the entirety of recorded history. You will never be killed for holding hands with the wrong person. No nation has a death penalty for expressing your love openly.

The first issue that comes to mind is the noncompressible nature of water. If you’ve ever played in a pool and marveled at how clearly you can hear a digital watch beep all the way from the other end, you can scale this up for any pressure wave. With very unpleasant results.

Why would you not name the company? If they won’t protect you, you are not obligated to protect them.

“…and then just add .03 pounds of coffee per .0005 tons of cayenne and you’ll be the toast of the town!”

Funny meme. Anyone know what this is actually a picture of?

The book is “Gray’s”.

Wiplash. Wiplash is to jazz what Grey’s Anatomy is to medicine.

I’ll try to cheer you up a little:

Owning a house: to an extent traps you in a physical location. Your job pool is smaller, and everyone you like who doesn’t own a home eventually moves away. As a bonus, the longer that pattern goes on, the older you get, and the more difficult to replace the departed becomes.

No kids: You seem pretty upset about global warming and the economy. Not having children has to be one of the single most impactful environmental choices you can make. I don’t have figures but your carbon footprint has to be a fraction of anyone with kids. Also, if systematic collapse is as inevitable and imminent as you suspect, it’s a good thing you don’t have any kid(s) for to be exploited by Tina Turner into fighting to the death in a big iron cage.

Ever?

This sounds like a Drake line.

This is some real lowest common denominator type meme.

Ftfy always becomes “fuck that, fuck you” in my head.

I left Reddit to call their bluff. I stay away from Reddit because I want to help grow the fediverse. It’s already better than when I joined. And I believe, perhaps naively, that it will continue to get better. I’d rather be the part of the beginning of something great than lingure around as a great thing rots.

Why am I seeing a video of chinchillas?
