JT leaving office and filling his time by jumping around in his girlfriends TikTok videos like a dork instead of working for some ghoulish think tank is the most ethically neutral behaviour we’ve ever witnessed from a politician and folks can’t handle it.
Troy Jackson comes from far northern Maine which has one of the most idiosyncratic linguistic situations in America with a large share of the population being Francophone Acadians and Anglophones speak with this unusual accent.
If you want to find someone organically at events or hobbies, they probably need to be completely politically neutral like rec sports or even more conservative-coded like car meetups.
A lot of replies are missing the hidden fact that conventions are attended primarily by more liberal, left-leaning and neurodivergent individuals who see courtship as taboo. Ditto for stuff like D&D, uni groups, coffee shops, etc.
The idea that your life is over at 38 along with our cultures new belief that you're not an adult until you're 25 at the earliest are why everyone is miserable now. It leaves only around a decade for living. Everything else is preparation and decay. Life isn't over until you quit
Covid was like a natural experiment of "what happens if you derail someone's life at age X." We had toddlers delayed on language skills, middle schoolers not learning how to have normal friendships, 20-somethings never getting those early office jobs where you learn stuff.
everyone i know in their late 20s is having an existential crisis because we skipped our mid 20s in the pandemic. relationships fast-tracked, careers faltered, we lost those core identity-building years and now we feel like 23-year-old brains in bodies approaching 30
Incredible to witness just how deeply Win Butler tanked Arcade Fire's legacy because all shouty anthemslop is directly downstream from Funeral and they havent been brought up once
The internet used to be full of websites; there were millions of them and you could browse for hours and come away smarter rather than dumber. Now there are four sites and they've made half the population illiterate. We've destroyed a wonderful thing, and it has destroyed us.
The reason why old people are so pro ai is because they do actually think it's a robot doing all that. Like talk to any 60+ ai user they all think it's the robot butler from iron man
I remember seeing a similar thing happen on my other more local Twitter account where a woman used the company database and texted another woman who had shopped earlier. The response was a lot more positive and maybe it was platonic rather than looking for dates.
As much as I love Nirvana this is true. And it’s not even a Beatles/Seinfeld thing of them being ahead of their time, there’s so many grunge bands from before Nirvana that sounded so much more interesting
Nirvana’s music does not stand the test of time. But the Smashing Pumpkins does.
So ultimately Billy Corgan won out against Kurt Cobain.
Nirvana was hugely popular but I never listen to it anymore. I find Smashing Pumpkins more musical and listenable. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is a truly great album. Nirvana’s best was probably Unplugged.
What say you @batcountry1980 ?
