To be clear, I don't mind people needing validation, it is reasonable to have, but the phrasing should be: "back me up here..." Or similar.

Investing Step One: marry rich and famous grifter's child.
Step Two: learn art of grifting
Step Three: riches

As for the wedding ring, plenty of reasons for it not being there that are benign, including an auto filter editing it out as a blemish.

I get why people have a need to curate replies, what I don't get is when they ask an open question that only people they follow can reply to. The "I am curious what people think..." Style of question, but I am only curious to hear from select people... That's validation you seek not curiosity.

When your brain wakes you at 4a.m. it is the sign to get up, not struggle for 90 mins trying to snooze while intrusive thoughts have a field day in your imagination.

Let's do a thread of hopeful and/or life affirming movies. Whatcha got?

I'm going to be a basic bitch and start with 2025's Superman, which I thought was outstanding. I didn't think I could get behind a new Superman these days, but Corenswet was perfect.

People will call you a skeptic for not immediately spending $40,000 you don't have on a car you can't fix or afford to install a new electric service (that I would also have to install myself) to charge one.

I don't know where the fuck they live at, but we don't have money like that around here.

I loved this set design, as a teenager I wanted my room to have the same panelling.

I quite enjoyed the early Jackson Pollocks and the Kandinsky that I saw there, but I much preferred the Hironemous Boch in the Doge's Palace if I am honest.

Two pictures of Kermit with Vincent Price. The first shows Kermit flashing Dracula like fangs. The second has Kermit biting into Vincent's neck.

Ich thynke but litel of a Mondaye bleake
Tuesday grey and Wednesdaye eke
Thursdaye Ich care not for thee
Yet Fridaye Ich am yn love

[dreamye lute arpeggio]

Mondaye thou kanst fall awaye
Tuesdaye, Wednesdaye, myne herte slaye
No mirthe ys founde upon Thursdaye
Yet Fridaye Ich am yn love

We don't have an autism epidemic. We have better tools and understanding of neurodiversity. Recognizing something for what it is doesn't mean it's suddenly happening, but rather recognition is better.

Vaccines cause survival.

Yeah, well it's the fastest way to a woke, gay. secretarian. Islamist future is to vote in the white female tradesperson, it's been the plan that refugees have secretly pushed for a generation...

This kind of stuff isn’t going to work when the new Green MP is a white working class plumber.
