I prefer to think of myself as an Epsilon Male.

As in, “Y the fuck are you like this, bro?”

No cummie

No talkie

I’m voting for him as an avowed leftist.

Besides impeding fascism, his reforms on student loans mean I’ll be debt-free with $0 payments in 10 years. That is a material improvement of my life that I am infinitely grateful for.

But I still think he’s a piece of shit for aiding and abetting a genocide and would vote for another candidate if I meaningfully could.

Politics is nuanced. 🤷

Unless the kid brained someone with a tee ball trophy, I categorize this penalty in the “extreme” category.

In Asia, it’s a nightmare.

The PokeStops and events are plentiful and raids are easy to win and great.

But gyms, man. They don’t change because of the smurf accounts. I stopped being able to get free coins because people would walk around my city with corkboards with 6-8 phones, and any time I knocked out a Pokémon at a gym, a new one was immediately in its place.

No more free coins, so I quit entirely.

This is an essential relationship skill/concept. Learn it and watch all your relationships improve.

My ancestors are smiling on me, Imperial. Can you say the same?

You also do it alone.

People generally used to live with their extended families.

The tasks you’re describing were generally spread out between 4-8 grown-ass adults.

It’s an allegory for STDs.

Yep. The Romans fucked themselves sideways doing this a few times. You can have all the soldiers or you can have some farmers and skilled laborers. You can’t have both.

Imagine Vietnam-era US, but it was willing to sacrifice every warm body within its borders to win.

Like the US, I think Russia is on a collision course with failure. But they’re going to take it a lot farther before waving a white flag. So much so that it will take the country decades to recover.

And Ukraine won’t be looking too hot at that point anymore, either.

YOU BEEN DOWN TOO LONG IN THE MIDNIGHT SEA

That’s one rustled Jimmy.

"Listen up, you gonk-brained corpo apologist. They’re trying to take something from us that we can never get back. And I plan to stop it. You need to decide whether you’re on board, or in my way.

So, I’ll say it one more time.

The card says moops, choom."

The disease is unlimited money in politics.

There are billionaires who were already radicalized to this level. They’re just pouring their fortunes into bringing everyone else into their fold, too.

Remember 15 years ago when Republicans finally stopped going after LGBTQ folks, and how that slowly started to erode after Citizens United? It is not coincidental. There are evangelist billionaires whose only concern in the world is a regressive future, and that’s bad for everybody.

It’s a terrasque in a Girl Scout uniform.

Roll a WIS save to resist its thin mints.

No no.

See, we ran the Numbies.

China Numbies Go Down.

Numbies supposed to Go Up.

China is doom.

/s

This strain of brainworm never ceases to amaze me. I’m not a tankie, either and I hate the mainland with a passion. But counting China completely out when it’s clowning the rest of the world on infrastructure right now is just plain mouth-breather stupid.

Oh, good.

Finally-- a keto-friendly beer!

Probably whatever it did to him when he survived being shot.

You ever watch Requiem For A Dream?
