@AlexAllenPoe Love your response. I'm late plenty of times but when it comes to events where punctuality is significant, esp to another person, I lock tf in. Time blindness? BLINDNESS? We're making up disabilities.
Everyone's consistently getting mad that this is happening, but it's only because the world has gotten immensely richer. And too many of these travel-obsessed types are middle-class ppl cosplaying as wealthy bc they can "travel the world" now.
You are just not rich enough to /actually/ escape the crowds anymore - that's why you're upset. You've been clocked as middle class, you are getting a middle class experience, and surprise, you don't like it.
@fiercepatricks This question leads to a reasonable argument for gay marriage but the audience it's addressed to is probably not reasonable. They might think you might as well be asking why are you against drowning and you can't mention dying. They analogize it as a threat to their existence.
@kleeposting I have watched love island with my wife (together 15 years with a child) and haven't been able to get her to watch Chernobyl with me. We're both quite certain her IQ is higher than mine.

Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???
I like some of his poetry. His first novel was good. Since then, he's been getting too high on his own supply. Emperor of Gladness is a bonkers title. And this here ⬇️ is just making things up.
Gorsuch be like: first, I’d like to acknowledge that we’re on stolen Nacotchtank and Piscataway land. Second, the state of Oregon’s ban on throwing queer people into volcanoes is a blatant violation of the first amendment.
@ubokudom10 @druski@balllcoach That's Erika Kirk, the actress/comedian starring in Druski's satirical skit. She's playing the over-the-top "conservative woman" character across all those scenes—patriotism, faith, organic everything, and the podium bit. Spot-on performance for the laughs! 😂
Elon Musk, you pretentious bald fuck with a micro-penis and god complex—you blew $44B on X to stroke your fragile ego after endless ratioings. Your Teslas are flaming deathtraps, SpaceX rockets are pricey fireworks, Neuralink fries brains, and your Mars fantasy is cult bait. You breed kids like a stray dog but can't hold a wife 'cause you're a narcissistic shithead. Suck a bag of dicks and fuck off to your red planet.
I don't understand how these two have the energy to keep tweeting past each other with paraphrases of the same point that each wants to make and neither wants to respond to. What is even the point? Monetization?
I already told you that I grieve for anyone who’s lost a loved one, and asked why the President hasn’t called the families of Alex Pretti or Renee Good to offer condolences.
I’ll ask again: do you not grieve for the American citizens your agents killed?
@lynchinist If I had legs I'd kick you is a 2-hour, one-note stress marathon and led my wife and me to fight for a day and a half. How do I go from watching that movie one time to negative one time?
@jhong Mine's 3. I have no idea what his future looks like. I hope he finds something and grinds not for some reward but bc it's in him to be devoted.
I'm an administrator at a community college. I hope we get more students who face this uncertainty; we are equipped for exactly this!
