Leave your darkness behind. Come into the light. Let yourself be warmed by the blazing sun, and believe that a better world awaits you if you create it.
@SolBrah@soldepartment Not to glaze SB or anything but I bet people are only calling him fat because they have a reference frame of him being super shredded. I’d kill to look like he does here. Compare him to someone like Latsbrah and SolBrah is even leaner. Dude looks massive.
@Tom_Rowsell It’s so on the nose that I almost can’t believe it. It’s obscenely patronizing and cringeworthy, I’d be embarrassed if some comic book author spoke about me that way.
@walterwhitepill@uberboyo@LevPo This is an interesting thought. Did the inflation rate slowly increase or were there specific emperors who devalued the currency with lower % silver coins?
@gwyrain I just know this guy drinks black rifle and has the shirt that says “I disagree with you but will fight to the death for your free speech” or whatever.
Imposing moral standards upon a damn rooster is peak oversocialization.
@AJA_Cortes I remember some poster on here a few years ago blew my mind when they claimed that the reason Western Europe was able to develop such freedom in the 1600-1800s was because for hundreds of years they executed a high number of criminals.
@Athens_Stranger When I first heard this I was blown away, and no one talks like this now (I think because they’re unhealthy and thus not feeling this way); life itself is a pleasure. To be alive should feel enjoyable!
@celestialbe1ng I like this when done with innocent and positive intentions but everyone should be aware this also an nlp sales tactic used by people who don’t have your best interest at heart. When someone uses your name it should be cause for reflection of their intentions.
Never let him or anybody else forget what he really thinks of the American people: that their replacement is justified because they watch too much Saved by the Bell.
Notice that in both of these ads the primary focus is not on actually playing the game, competing in the sport, or performing athletic feats. Like just about everything marketed towards women, it's about social reaction, it's about how others view you.
This ad used the slogan "You Can't Win. So Win"; fifty seconds of statements supposedly said by people denigrating women's athletic abilities, with the idea that you gotta just say "fuck 'em" to those who doubt you.
I think it says something about the nature of our society and the nature of women and girls that the best way to advertise a flag football league is to show guys as losers, rather than show how fun or exciting the activity in itself could be.
@Athens_Stranger Couldn’t catch it live but thanks for posting the recording. Interesting take on the Sicilian (failed) conquest as a result of “erotic” desire, never realized that implication. Gonna have to reread Thucydides now with that in mind…
@augureust First time I read Camus at 20 or so it felt like it spoke to me directly, I related heavily. I read the stranger at 30 and couldn’t relate at all, I couldn’t understand the motivation of the character and just hated him.
@QuintusCurtius I probably would have benefited from even just reading Howard at a young age. The spirit of adventure and greatness is given to the next generation through the stories they’re given.
@politicalmath I believe if a waiter tells you you can’t order something based on his belief that it’s in bad taste you are obligated to dine and dash — the social aggression must be stopped!
