@gromitspicks@Clavicular0 watching varying “sides” of military industrial complex sponsored news is NOT how you become more interesting. that’s just tik tok level slop for boomers with slightly higher attention spans
@Clav0Updates Actually kinda fascinating. His parents chose to be together because of various attractive traits and facial proportions. His ancestors before that as well. He just did an unforced error that undid all of his predecessors’ aesthetic choices.
@FatLennyLJS@arcanaraccoon@TugboyFresh I remember that too, but just on the topic of aging well, didn’t age badly, but just doesn’t hit the same for some reason. Norm on the other hand…
@FatLennyLJS@arcanaraccoon@TugboyFresh He’s funny but I did go back to a few specials and they aged…weirdly. Not even because of his weirdo actions, but while well thought out they were more entertaining than funny.
@growing_daniel ive said this time and time again: the default for most of the world minus Europe is to greet ppl enthusiastically. the “we’re too cool to have emotions” is cope and is actually working counter to the baseline human tendency of being pleasant social creatures.
@paulyballgame@bauer51003@andrewj081981@JesseKellyDC Thus, Iran isn’t immediately stronger in terms of military, but is in terms of the “cards” they can play. While they enjoy that new status, they’ll be happily rebuilding their military. This combo is why they come out stronger.
@paulyballgame@bauer51003@andrewj081981@JesseKellyDC They’re stronger because the deal legitimizes them as more than a “terrorist state”, and ensures that if we go back to bombing, they threaten the world economy by closing down the strait. That real world scenario helped boost their confidence that they have major leverage.
@BravesStash What i think is glorious is that a new gas station opened up and has been 30 to 50 cents cheaper than the other FOUR in the same strip. Economics at work. The other spots’ prices are the same and they seem incapable of taking a loss. Hilarious to watch hardheadedness sink sales.
