One of the most American things you can do is to tell tyrants to pound sand That’s why this country exists in the first place

I know I should go out on days when I am not working and do things, but it just feels like a waste of money to sit around at a bar or whatever when I know I won't be having fun now that I've given up on looking for a romantic partner. It's very difficult to motivate myself to do yet another chore.

The new grape monster is good but it tastes sufficiently like juice that my body codes it as "water adjacent liquid we immediately need more of" instead of "syrupy treat we are fine with only consuming 1 can of", which is a problem for my self control.

It's really annoying that I cannot try to even begin to develop a theory of what the political situation in this country actually is, because Internet sources vary from "there is actually hope, trump has low approval!" To "there's no hope everything is over", and every person at my job loves Trump.

Why does the Insert key exist

Unacceptable

(Said about Gavin Newsome) Honestly this kinda makes me want to vote for him. Too bad he sucks on sexism.

Is there a way to automatically filter posts I cannot reply to

Do we think Minotaurs have human or bovine bits?

I understand that they don't, but I don't understand why people in countries with socialized medicine don't just go to the doctor all the time. I feel like if I got a free thing I would just constantly smash that button.

The part of me that grew up in a red state during the Bush admin doesn't understand how the party that claims to be flag waving law and order types standing up for the truth and traditional morality has completely abandoned the concept of truth or morality -

This graph is laid out in a very pleasing way, like it's terrible news but the graph with a nice dip and then two similar rises on each side is a nice shape. I'm less pleased that presumably as this graph continues the future will continue to be symmetrical with the past.

I made myself think about Evil Dead so I'm going to have to watch Evil Dead again

Does anyone else keep getting asked to sign back in by bluesky despite having the app

Every couple months I get the Capricorn urge to start paying off my student loans for the moral high ground and have to remind myself that no one - especially not the people who claim to care - actually cares. The people who claim to care only use it as a way to kick poor folks (like me).

*me about to head to work* My brain: "You should look up critiques of this philosophical stance that makes your gut feel good because you might be wrong and we need to fix that immediately."

I hate this "ultra-processed food" thing. It shouldn't matter if I slap a bunch of macro/micronutrients to get or if a plant does it, it's still nutrients.

Trying to set up openmw with TR and high quality texture packs on my laptop and downloading/unpacking textures is taking so long I'm considering cleaning my room as it will be more stimulating.

Is Quantum Leap an isekai?

It's gonna be really weird if we have a hot civil war and both sides use frogs (just with different stylistic touches) prominently in iconography, very Byzantine Roman of us.

Lmao wow ok

There's "Clanker" discourse now? I have never believed this place had the juice to become another twitter but now it looks possible. Maybe I can actually enjoy a website on the Internet again, I just need a couple million more people to sign up.

Crazy that I'm only going I'm for half my shift tonight and I am fighting for my life to do that bare minimum because my brain hates me

Tbh if there was a candidate who was pro trans folks, immigration and abortion I would vote for them regardless of other issues as far as I can tell. I would accept 4 coal fired turbines operating 24/7 in my backyard for this.

I've long been aggrieved about predation in nature, but this brings up a good point that animals are actually freeloaders as well.

i swear to god i am not migrating to yet another social media site so this one better get its shit together

Very disappointing to see this place is apparently worse than old twitter about using the ban hammer on posters being posters. Considering deleting. Though I dunno where I'd go.

Sudden intense nausea at work, salivating and sure I was going to vomit for like 2 and a half minutes, including dry heaving.... Then it suddenly subsided. Body what the hell was that about?

As a gun enjoyer I will say that NRA is extremely ineffective at supporting gun rights, because they don't care about gun rights. They supported regulation of bump stocks back in 2017 ( www.npr.org/2017/10/05/5... ) because they have no principles. They should denounce Trump with their full chest.

Very upset that Newsom fumbled on trans people that hard. I was vaguely optimistic about that guy. Why must everyone let me down?

This biscuit would be better if it was greasier

Representation is real and important because until this queen wore a bonnet in Gundam witch from Mercury I had an intense gut reaction of "what is this and why are you wearing it" when I saw them IRL but now it's just normal.

What if my fursona was a whole pack of wolves

Newsom has the energy of a minor leader in Hearts of Iron 4 (a ww2 strategy game) who coups you if you do the focuses to change your government type to fascist in the wrong order.

Inanna being a Thunderer explains a lot about hair metal.

I want some sort of abominable cold tea beverage, in the realm of matcha, but with no sugar. Something astringent and bitter, but refreshing and hydrating. Something that makes sensation go brr but doesn't have any sweeteners whatsoever so I don't have to feel guilty about having two giant cups.

It’s kinda interesting that they’re calling back to Nazi germany whereas the Nazis use of Fraktur was calling back to 19-18th century *germany*. The equivalent for the us would be something like Caslon. It’s an interesting expression about how intentionally unamerican their ideology is

For romance novels at least there has been a kind of weird breakdown of that role play/self insert because SO MANY of them are written in first person with a very weak character voice. Like the prose equivalent of the faceless h game protagonist tbh

Watching Leviathan, this show is so goofy. I'm going to watch all of it.

Despite not trusting mushrooms, I will admit they are cool.

Living in a red state, people often come up to me unprompted (only sometimes are children present) and just claim children aren't hit enough. It's really weird. I guess I look like someone who would agree with that but I don't think corporal punishment is good. Fist fights between adults, maybe.

I'm not sure win-win situations exist tbh. It feels like everything really is zero-sum. Honestly whenever I see this take (which is pretty often) I wonder if I'm just a conservative who has been team-switched like in an old team first person shooter.

I really wish it was remotely easy to figure out which streaming services have what movies if you have a subscription. Google tends to only spit out the ones where I can buy the movie.

Technically speaking this is a way to get data without having to pay people to produce it, especially if your opsec is crap.

If I was short I would probably assume that height was extremely important to attraction and be extremely sensitive about it.

Mom when my dad's in the hospital and there's basically no resources now when during Covid there was a bunch. "Last time there was so much..." Yeah, you voted for Trump, mom.

I'm going to be completely honest if the Republicans weren't insane I would be a single issue voter in favor of gun rights. Like if Roe was still on the books, gays could marry, immigration was at 1990s levels of enforcement and trans rights were at a 2014ish level I'd only vote on guns.

sega genesis evangelion, is this anything? serial xbox one? sorry, i'm super tired right now. dreamcast in dungeon. sorry again
