Gen Z tip: Chewing small gravel can strengthen your teeth, like lifting weights does for muscles

I always pulled out that Mark Twain quote about giving extremely hard jobs to lazy people because they’d figure out the easiest way to do them.

Absolutely you smoke a little and suddenly you’re scrubbing the space behind the toilets and undersides of sinks.

Turns the mice that die behind it into leftover chicken meat

Iran is a quagmire but only has a tiny fraction of our military involved, so there’s plenty of capacity for more war to shift the narrative.

The dance bar in my old city used to get overrun by bachelorette parties, women disrespecting the space and its purpose, disrespecting patrons, etc. So they made a rule that you couldn’t do bachelorette parties there anymore. Ultimately it was a good rule. I have nothing against a girl and her friend going out for a drink at a gay bar. I do have issues with them getting blitzed and walking around, trying to hang on the half naked guys, trying to be the “star” of the night, that kind of thing.

My boss burst in one day to tell me these were in the wood chips outside my work. I went out and sure enough, they were there, but so much smaller than I expected - I’d have missed them.

They just forced the 10 commandments into every classroom in the school I work with.

It absolutely galvanized the student body, they hate it and are forming different opposition groups.

I hope that was the religious movement’s goal, get everyone to hate them.

Gays are about on par with atheism in rankings like this, I’m kind of surprised atheism wasn’t on this list. But yeah it hurts seeing it. There are ways to cut the data that aren’t so harsh, like support for rights can be there even if they’re thinking we’re gonna burn.

So that dude is like, just not my usual type maybe but something about him cuddling a lion makes him a 10/10 would seduce, I need to investigate this further and maybe hang around some zoos looking for trainers…

Wait we’re just allowed to do this now?

It took us longer to get here, and we’re worse off. Everyone can feel that. People remember their childhoods with occasional vacations and things we might see as luxuries today.

More to the point, class of 2000 here, but they told us Social Security would be insolvent from the time we were teenagers, “don’t expect to get anything.” We know now that was actually political psyop designed to get us ready for them to kill social security. But it’s coming to pass - 6 year from now benefits will be cut 40% if nothing changes.

A lot of folks my age, myself included, had to suffer multiple once-in-a-lifetime crises like 2001, 2008, plus medical events and other emergencies that liquidated retirement plans. So even those who were saving often lost it all, maybe repeatedly.

I am not eager to see my final vision fulfilled, which is a bunch of tatted up, screen addicted old people jammed into the worst elderly housing projects without serious medical care, just cubes for us to die in cheap, while we play N64 and get stoned together and try to live on a bag of potatoes for 2 weeks because climate change is wreaking havoc on the food supply.

But yes, touch grass.

I love the cynicism but 4 months ago every strategist was like “talk about only the economy, that’s all people care about, and you can’t lose” and now the Dems are trying that, and people are like “Pfft talk about revenge more,” which wasn’t part of the strategy. I haven’t see the polling on it. But I bet the average American gives a big shit about their bank accounts and relatively little shit about Trump’s inevitable escape of consequences and the circus he’s constantly spinning. I want the Democrats targeting the big base of potential voters, not courting the angry people on the left at the expense of broader palatability.

Populism is a funny thing, if we’re going to try it to counter the populism that got us here, we have to acknowledge not everyone will be satisfied by the plan.

But I am spitballing, I have no idea what they’re thinking, nor does anyone in here.

There’s a pendulum swinging towards the middle. Under diagnosis, and then ultra trendy diagnosis, huge self-diagnosis, general personality trend to align with. Now it’s going to swing back, likely towards biomarkers, as the DSM VI is trying to focus on. Can we see this on a scan? If so it exists. And then the DSM XII will be like “fuck that.” Mental health has always wobbled between extremes and somehow found the truth in the middle.

I really loved the lead in Send Help! Womanizing, loner, highly avoidant. This is the lesbian of my youth. This is who I want to see represented, not the tired old stereotypes.

Honestly a heated bidet is better. Now I’m not saying give up bathroom breaks - smoke a J in there, or go wander in a park for a while. But my bunghole only appears when there’s an oscillating jet of 100* water ready to blast it spotless.

He’ll forever be Leland Palmer to me, father to Laura as well as a lot of confused looks during the 90s.

Tell me this didn’t actually happen

The animal welfare committee has concluded the most humane way to coke up the fish is for the researchers to also do a few bumps so they feel like it’s a party.
