I think he's talking about a senate race in PA where it looks like, mathematically anyway, those Green votes would put the Dem ahead of Republican but he can still fuck off. Their level of smugness is unbearable.

Also why doesn't CNN's results ticker show the other participants in that senate race? Nvm I know the answer

So MAGA movement has infiltrated local election boards? Why that's even a possible strategy is wild!

Russell Brand the baptist please baptize Jordan Peterson

It's there, just obscured by that thing

RIP to a real one

I was a guest (through my partner) to someone's surprise birthday party so didn't know anyone that was there. At some point, we were all sitting around a table, a couple began talking about going to a recent drag show but felt it became 'too political' when the drag queen kept talking about Palestine etc.. The couple accused the drag queen of speaking without having all of the information to which I asked what information they were missing and the girl responded with something along the lines of how LGBTQ individuals would be treated in Gaza/Palestine, being a Muslim country. I was immediately filled with rage and contempt for what I'm hearing and just made a point that oppressed peoples from different parts of society can and should support one another but still really feel like I should have expressed more of what was racing through my mind that actually she's the misinformed moron and boohoo that your fun evening was soured by someone advocating for Palestine.

Edit: also just making the connection now that this thread is about the Iranian coup d'etat because I thought about this event (and more current events) when her boyfriend, who said he is from Iranian heritage, didn't agree with Iranian kids being taught at a young age to trample over the Israeli flag. So weird

in that clip, Homer says Mao killed 50 million people

i feel the same, also impressed by how much music they ripped

So is it possible to get a 'Top Three Day' sort/filter option? That way I wouldn't feel so behind if, god forbid, there was a day that I didn't log on here.

why isn't anyone calling the suburbs "the projects"? it breeds some special types of people

Oh I mostly just find Aubrey Marcus's penetration into our culture interesting and thought it was rather funny when he endorsed RFK as an answer to our problems. The fleshlight thing was curious to me parallel to the 'singles' healing retreats and it makes me think about how sexuality has been treated in our current culture. Wishing you all you need to get through the divorce! Not an easy thing

He hangs around some new age spiritual types like Aubrey Marcus who are big into the plant medicines and healing rituals & practices from indigenous cultures in Central & South America (Ayahuasca etc etc). While I don't doubt that these plant medicines do offer healing to people, I do find this group of people incredibly cringe though because the lives they project are very rich from a material standpoint and the events they put together almost sound like they're big orgies (I have zero evidence that that actually takes place, just the vibes I get when they make these events 'for singles only'). Also that guy has a relative who invented the fleshlight and Aubrey himself made money selling some type of brain food cognition enhancing supplement.

I also stopped by this statue a couple of weeks ago! A couple days later I walked past this in my city. I think it means I (and you) need to read theory...

Show

curious to know what you’re referencing

Show read posts in the user settings? Had no idea this exists! So what if you want to get back into a post you've been in before?

Ah, that explains why I couldn't see your reply in this thread LOL

Ok functionality question about the news thread. I'm trying to figure out what the sorting options do, in particular 'Hot' and 'New/Chat'. I get that the latter sorts by newest comments but the chat function doesn't seem to make a difference? Also does 'Hot' sort by comments with most active engagement?

I've looked if there's a FAQ type of page that explains these functions (and for others like how to embed those little emojis etc etc) so if there is a link, please point me in the right direction!

The villains are so pathetic
