I was pretty good at chess, but when you get to the point where the only people at your skill level are 60 year old men who take 5-10 minutes per move I got incredibly bored. This was before the age of online chess, so the pool of opponents in my bumfuck nowhere area was tiny. Maybe I should try again with the emergence of online speed chess.
But yeah, patience is something I’m bad at I guess.
No, it is weighing the value of dunking vs people getting exposed to the hateful stuff that gets dunked on. At least when it comes to this post.
Not sure self-crit is the correct place to post this if 95% of the post is criticism of others.
It wasn't just a conituation, he presented an escalation. He moved the embassy to Jerusalem and recognized the Golan Heights as Israeli territory.
People who expected anything different were simply deluding themselves.
There were constant struggle sessions, this is kind of a return to form. Difference is that people have now formed more social/parasocial connections at this point which makes it more personal it seems.
They probably wouldn't have made him so chiseled if it was anti-communist.
They’re used to Feyenoord hooligans, shit like this goes down whenever they come to town.
This time it was a more deserving victim though. And the opposition usually aren’t such crybabies that are used to getting all possible protection from police while doing their shit.
Got a fever just in time to ruin the weekend.
As much as we clown on 
Trump was worse when it comes to drone strikes.
There is an almost reflexive urge to downplay Trump around here, he is the one that set the course of heightened tensions with Iran, provided steadfast support for the Saudis war in Yemen and that moved the embassy to Jerusalem. He isn’t going to be good for the Middle East, hopefully the Ukrainian meat grinder will stop though.
Not surprised to see the Zionist shitheads immediately crumble the moment they don’t have police protection or outnumber the people they target 10:1.
Saw someone blame the concept of "latinx".
The ‘economy’ is a big thing. That doesn’t mean GDP in this case, but that there is inflation and no rise in wages that follows. When the message from the incumbent side is that things are great actually and you’re wrong if you don’t think so the viability of the policies from the other side stops mattering as much. The big problem is that history didn’t end and neoliberal policy is failing right left and centre all over the world.
Also that Kamala is a historically shit candidate, there is a reason she immediately ate shit in the 2020 primaries.
Good thing they spent all that time trying to pander to the people who voted for the greater evil. It’ll work next time I’m sure.
The true victim of all this is AOC who now has to pretend to care about things again.
Dems were on a roll when Walz came in and they decided to call out republicans for being weirdos. But then they remembered that a strong Republican Party is more important than winning, so they spent most of the election season parading around the Cheneys and begging Bush for an endorsement. The lesson that the dems are going to take from this is to run Mitt Romney next time around.
Elon Musk of squirrels 
I can only wish that he follows the example of his rodent brother.
"Ironic" nazi imagery used to be popular in certain parts of the 70s punk scene in London, which is where the brand originates from.
In this case I think the problem is less you being able to read social cues and more the other persons issue. I usually am able to defuse it with a couple of "that's crazy" or "never thought of it like that" so they shut up about it if they get too into it. It is also how I get through most conversations with coworkers who are deep down a conspiracy hole.
Examples of topics this has become a "deal" for while not mattering at all: Sex club hygiene, web browsers, cars, ski brands, rub on tattoos, cellphones, weed, shrooms, acid, synth music, metal music and sewing.
Wonder if this is why they are pivoting so hard to P Diddy.
Reading and writing poetry. Nothing makes me question my humanity more than seeing people be genuinely moved by poetry.
Happy for people that appreciate it, but it makes me feel like I’m an unfeeling brute more than anything else. This is a picture of me trying to understand poetry.
