twist it

one of the reasons he’s been demonizing people who have authority to speak on certain topics ( experts ) since 2015 is that experts have been calling his mental fitness to serve into question, since at least 2015, maybe longer

caterpillar knife. nyuk

pretty much. and then they wonder why they can’t get a date

lol i never noticed that kif (kip?) stays terrified while the two knuckleheads are like sweeeet

school admin (and everyone else tbh) are completely fucking clueless about how to deal with the AI problem, or worse, are actively trying to incorporate it as part of the process of research. all they’re doing is prepping a generation of kids to go out into the workforce without knowing the first damn thing about how to find and use relevant and credible information, much less care–why bother, i’ll just ask AI. the fact that it’s so often dead wrong doesn’t matter–it just needs to look correct. done. next.

imagine being such a tough guy that you have to lash out at women who make you feel even less manly than you already are

violet posts are instantly recognizable without looking at the username

i am also occasionally guilty of operating on the assumption that anything about maga voters makes any sense whatsoever

it wasn’t the pedophilia, the raping, the fraud, the tens of thousands of lies, the pornstar hush money, “grab’em by the pussy,” “suckers and losers,” the support for genocide and pointless bullshit iran war–no, it was the ai jesus pic that pushed them over the edge…

i doubt the people they’re trolling will comprehend that they’re being trolled

i don’t know how your takeaway from the quote equated to “someone should care what lee wanted.” i was using it to illustrate the hypocrisy of people who want to make the statement “i’m not racist, but i idolize racists”

his paralyzing stupidity would be funny if people weren’t dying because of it

Lee himself never wanted such monuments built.

but the saber rattling over putting up traitor statues tracks with these morons, because it’s the same people who can’t demonstrate enough how jesusey they are by going to the 40,000 seat megachurch to praise the one who said

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

i never actually read james patterson. is it as dreck as i’m assuming it is?

sanderson has some good stuff. i was impressed with tress of the emerald sea. way of kings was good, just…too much

true, especially the doom scrolling–fucking horrible for mental health; i have to remind myself to knock it off when i catch myself looking at the news too long

commuting more than an hour each way

i think the negative effects of spending 10 hours a week and 40 hours a month sitting in the car are a lot more damaging than people want to believe

old isn’t bad. unless you’re a boomer. then it might be bad

yep. i spent way more time than i’m willing to admit trying to find the actual name of that meme and finally gave up. thank you.
