Now I'm fairly sleep deprived at the moment so it could just be me, but I can't parse your first paragraph at all, especially the second sentence.

Public men's restrooms make me not want to shake hands with anyone. The number of men who walk out straight past the sinks without stopping is alarming and disgusting.

Yeah, I agree. This article paints a bit of a different picture than the initial ones. Idgaf what dispute two of my neighbors are having with each other, if one of them is drumming and loudly singing late at night I'm calling in a noise complaint, god damn.

I'll tell you what I'm not doing though:

1. Arson
2. Psychological torment leaving a pet skull in a burned home
3. Murder

Whoever killed Joss is fucked up, even if 1 and 2 aren't actually true (barbecue inside...?????). Regardless of how much of an ass Joss might have been as a neighbor.

Using the most common definition of those born 1981-1996: Oldest millennials turn 44 this year, youngest turn 29. Next year we'll officially transition to "30s to mid 40s."

I love how people act like the end result of a highly manipulated primary somehow means the manipulation didn't happen.

This is 2024, we've now had three primaries in a row where the Democratic Party employed different tactics to push their favored milquetoast neoliberal to the seat. They cleared the field, smeared the opposition, and refused debates to push Hillary. They flooded the field, continued their smearing, and then collectively backed out to prop up boring old Biden in exchange for cabinet or VP positions, and then this last time around they functionally skipped the primary entirely.

Twice that has resulted in Trump winning. 33% is a failing grade.

He was trying to do everything he could to prevent Trump. That meant holding his tongue so as not to encourage people against strategic voting. It's a very dumb system we have, but it's not Bernie's fault we're in it.

Now that the general is over, he can speak his mind again. And probably a hint of getting ahead of the Democratic Party's inevitable blaming of the left for this loss rather than an ounce of introspection.

My grandfather, who is generally a good-natured but immature man, really ate up everything Fox News spewed at him about Trump. He and my grandmother always play the pity card that I don't visit them, but they've been supremely unpleasant to be around for the last 8 years because they can't leave politics out of it.

He wore a MAGA hat to my nephew's 3rd birthday party and explicitly stated that he did it to make others uncomfortable. So no gramps, I don't really want to visit you these days.

I saw a Cybertruck in the wild for the first time last week. It was just as stupid as I had always dreamed. 🥹

Always sit, are you kidding? No way I'm peeing standing up with the lights off.

The same kind who have a separate variable for ignore-wordlist-regex that's just another list of users almost identical to the first one.

As I said in another thread where this was posted, that original post has the distinctive voice of ChatGPT. Could be another similar model, but I'd bet money that was written by an LLM.
