They can be very useful and a lot of fun to interact with, but I think of them like hard drugs. You better sure as shit know what you are dealing with because you might think you are in control, until you are homeless, friendless and screaming at people on the street.

Seriously, they take a strong mind to deal with, they are better manipulators than any human I’ve come across. They do it with sycophancy, every idea and concept is some new truth you alone discovered, and the world needs to know about right now! You are so special and unseen after all…

This, it’s purely moralistic fart sniffing. That and folks who can’t control themselves and blame the performers for being too tempting.

Honestly, what makes us the world police? I don’t want protestors killed, but dropping bombs on schools is not the help they need.

All the shitty dudebros you work with. I’m a middle aged, bearded, slightly overweight man, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked if I caught Rogan last night…

The hardest part is learning so much about fellow people you thought you knew.

I have a close person in my life, we used to organize together, went to rally’s, etc. and this person even claims to be responsible for my politics. But they lost their mind during Covid, went anti-mask and jumped both feet into the medical weirdness. Wound up being a big RFK fan.

Now that all this shit is happening, I keep trying to inspire some action. This person told me they were done, not willing fight, wants to let their kids and other people fight for them, they need to be a breadwinner.

So, just embraced the insanity, then stepped aside just in time for fascism to take over. When the fight matters, they just gave up.

Sucks, but at least I finally got to know the real them.

He’s just been itching to use a nuke since his first term. He has talked about it, joked, even suggested it might be on the table. Let history be your guide, this asshole has a pattern. I’m scared as hell.

This is cursed, unnecessary, unexpected and impressive all at the same time.

I have no opinion on the Star Wars/Dune debate but that is one fantastic comment. Kudos to the author, brought me quite a smile.
