Exactly. I see a bikini every time I see people swimming. Underwear though, that implies some form of intimacy

Which is incredibly bad

I suspect it’s hopelessness. The people I saw start smoking young didn’t expect to hit 80 in any way that was desirable. Cancer, lung disease, heart attacks… those are future problems, and those who don’t believe themselves to have a future don’t care at best and are happy to go at worst.

The thing a lot of them didn’t get was that the years it takes are the ones coming soon, not the ones far off into the future.

He’s committed to the “big lie” strategy. And unfortunately it works well for what it does if you dgaf about consequences imposed by reality playing none of your games

Good on the Hungarians

Yeah I remember when he was a big name doing that shit. Then he recently popped up talking linux. And in between it became a somewhat regular occurrence in my country for people to march with swastika flags. For all I knew it was edgy jokes from an era where fascism was still outside the Overton window, or he just became a low key supporter of modern fascism but without any stunts big enough to get noticed

Wow, I must be doing it wrong then. I learned basic combinations and a variety of recipes. No different from when I learned to cook with meat.

I’m not saying that it’s for everyone. I personally still eat fish from time to time. But it definitely isnt a full time hobby

The two people I trust least on matters of science are some person who reckons it’s common sense and someone with a doctorate in something vaguely similar.

The third and fourth are every engineer and every physician that isn’t actually an expert on the thing, but that’s because we think we know everything.

Is chewing redundant? The little swish of a nice beverage? Flirting is the game, it’s half the fun. Sure the other parts are nourishing and wonderful too. But to flirt is to delight in such a primally human interaction.

If your facility requires 72 hours notice for an investigative drop by, crimes are happening there. And i know they know this because cops feel that way about your home.

Ok but all Americans benefit from affordable fresh fruits and vegetables. If they need subsidies they need subsidies, but if they get subsidies their workers shouldn’t be impoverished and worked to the bone. We can take the money out of oil subsidies.

Wow sometimes I see something and am just struck by how America is a Mammonite theocracy

No your missiles and natural barriers.

Im not currently impressed but may change my tune within the year

Oh no. Anyways I still hope he gets the Gaddafi treatment and still don’t want America to go to war with Iran.

It was long and slow and by the time it was clear what was happening it was well underway.

I’m someone who grew up in ohio as it happened and it was subtle. But we eventually passed constitutional amendments banning gerrymandering, but congress ignored us. And as it happened bit by bit we left. I stayed until it was clearly about to get unsafe for folks like me (I left a few months ago), and democrats are still fighting there. But political polarization is strong and a lot of coastal Republicans have moved in because its nearly impossible for them to lose there at this point in anything except single issue votes on constitutional amendments

Any American balkanization would likely go very similarly to the partition of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. The liberals would be given a period of permission to move to the coasts, and the conservatives to the red states, and in this process communities would shatter and a lot of people would die, but it’s better than a civil war and/or white terror.

In American balkanization I imagine yall would be a battleground of the literal variety. Colorado and new Mexico would want to join Pacifica and Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, and Montana likely won’t. But also you’re valuable enough to justify putting up a stink for

Its part of why I moved out west. That and fear of persecution in the Midwest.

I wish he had black lung instead of just his employees.
