escalator TO HELL

i will check myself here and acknowledge there’s still some good individual reporters and writers, and that my youthful idealism may have been naive

but contra my general “present better than past” attitude, journalism has genuinely, IMO, gotten much worse over that timeframe

if you told me 25 years ago that I’d be as anti-media as I am now, I wouldn’t believe you

just 15 years running of the industry as a whole and many specific outlets getting hollowed out with an ice-cream scoop to be shells of what they were and are supposed to be

i will accept condemnation of my palate being that of a 12-year-old but i’m still right about this

i understand why we all marvel at brassica as an exemplar of selection but it shouldn’t be that surprising because they all share a key conserved trait: they taste like garbage

I’m going to say something a lot of you on here are not willing to say. I wish you and your family the absolute best. I hope you are safe and find happiness in this life.

it’s a Concrete Caucus if you’re in Iowa

they stole my apes, odo

Frank Abagnale was the Joe Rogan of theft, catch my post if you can

i believe the term is “autofellatio”

It really is an incredibly stark instance of becoming what you hated most

*sigh*

tired: toxic men just want a fuckmaid
wired: toxic men just want a war fuckcomplice

there is no world where the "don't sign up for a protest or take a picture at it!" shit is non-stupid advice for peaceful mass protest. if it is not that bad yet it's unnecessary, if it is That Time it is not nearly enough to protect you in a way that matters.

wait, ja’marr chase had *23* targets what the everloving fucj

i could just not sleeve them but i am not a heathen

nothing like sleeving half a deck of board game cards only to realize they won’t fit the box unless you buy and resleeve them using sleeves half the thickness and 2mm shorter

It should be stated that I too am weird, this is a statement of description not a value judgement

I have no idea whether Waldorf is effective or not, I’ve never looked into that or Montessori

But I will say that the only person I’ve met who was a former Waldorf kid is 100% Noticeably Weird, in the way that lots of homeschooled kids are

has anyone verified that was net winning, not gross

i’m not certain but like i’m fairly sure you have to report winnings and losses separately on taxes and i can 100% see this being a “won a million, lost two” situation especially over a full year if your khan-level rich

anyway if anyone knows of a straightforward “guide to switching to linux from windows for dummies who mostly just game, browse, and do basic Word/Excel shit” hit me up

i’d have gritted my teeth and stuck with windows if they’d committed to making all this stuff fully opt-in and removable

but it’s clear that it’s going to quickly become completely unavoidable, or at least more effort to rip out than it is to bite the bullet and start using linux

i also don’t especially have time to fuck around with that right now but yeah, gotta carve out time by end of year to do it

i do not want to switch to linux, but it is increasingly clear that switch i must

someone really needs to bluntly ask these guys, on camera, why they’re chopping off their own balls

my policy of blocking ("i saw you say something somewhat stupid or irritating") might be so trigger-happy that one day i end up unable to see any posts on this website and, y'know, so be it

"stop slut shaming nuzzi" yeah that's a block

"the inflation is transitory"? yeah good luck with that one

this is what they took from us

with the right set-up this is merely a skill-issue

i’ll also say that while our pro-protein trend has gotten a bit absurd, much of the anti-protein people are… also really poorly informed

that said the huge low hanging fruit is fiber. everyone should eat more fiber. yes, even Fibers Georg, who eats 50g a day would probly benefit from more fiber
