Is it? Or is it 4 inches?

175.26 cm? I feel ill. I feel sick.

5'9? Damn that's 3 whole less numbers. I feel better already.

My worst dumb guy take is that Imperial measuring system is better simply because: less numbers. 15.24 cm? What the hell is that, terrible. 6 inches? Now that I can get behind.

There's some leftover part of his brain from the 80s thats like "You see this? Me and the *mayor of NYC*. Look at that, we're shaking hands, I'm kind of a big deal"

God you might be onto something

Like I genuinely think his pathological need to be associated with status means he will try to be friends with ideological enemies and abandon ideological allies based solely on how popular vs unpopular they are

I think Trump glazing Mamdani basically just comes down to: Trump likes status, Trump likes clout. If you have them, then Trump likes you because it allows him proximity to both of these things.

It doesn't really go any deeper, it's just dumb guy narcissistic opportunism.

It's also just an unreasonable demand that reeks of entitlement. I'm sorry, sometimes you're going to see takes from people who don't like your thing.

"I don't like how criticism of my favorite thing makes me feel dumb, so I should never have to see it" is not an option, suck it up.

"Well when you make fun of me for liking something, I feel pressured and shamed into not liking it--"

Skill issue. Lack of mental fortitude Not my problem.

Also, what is this framing; how does me going "Oh my god this shit sucks, why does anyone like this" mean I'm not *letting* someone enjoy something

Like I don't get a say in that, literally no one is stopping you from liking shitty things, you dork

It's always a little baffling to get hit with "Umm let people enjoy themselves, it's harmless, what does it matter"

Since when are you not allowed to bitch about something being annoying and shitty unless it's actively harmful. Furthermore, what if *you're* yucking *my* yum right now

Or they'll ask to search their phone and the person thinks it'll look bad if they decline or they think they HAVE to hand it over, when in actuality you can just say "Get a warrant" and then microwave tf out of it

That and simply not talking to the cops.

I've seen so many interrogation videos where a detective says "You're actually free to walk out whenever, we just have some questions" and 99% of people react with "Oh then I'm not in trouble and it would actually look worse if I left". NO DUDE. LEAVE.

Stop. Involving. Your phone. In crimes.

Just suffering full blown Tim Robinson "I love my phone, whenever I feel weird at all I look at my phone" brain rot in the middle of a home invasion

It rules how many criminal cases are solved by, like, one tech forensics expert opening a suspects phone w/o even needing to enter a PIN and finding "crime supplies near me cheap" at the top of their search history

"'Behold, I have given the Levites all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work they do—the work of the Tent of Meeting' (Numbers 18:21). This provision allowed the Levites to focus on their spiritual duties without the need to engage in agricultural labor"

Well I think this settles it, I should be living off of tithes while doing Gods work (arguing online)

No actually that would apply to both Kohanim and Levites. I think you're referring to a part in Deuteronomy that talks about the Levitical duty of transcribing, teaching, etc the written law? Like that job was specifically for Levites.

This is true. Also should maybe point to a guy like Che Guevara--one of the most clear cut cases of AuDHD I've ever seen in a historical figure--and be like "You know, Cuba would probably still be a capitalist country if people hadn't tried to make Che work a boring job"

I'm not sure? Basically the priests had to be Kohanim and then every other Temple job was for Levites, so I assume that means scribes too

"[Sweating profusely] So yeah I'd have been a very important religious leader if the Romans hadn't fucked our shit up & that's why you should subsidize my life while I write essays about The Twice Dead King book series being a trans allegory"

I'm gonna write to the government and explain that, as a Levite, this actually applies to me as I would've had religious duties in the Temple Mount 2000 years ago and just hope they don't know this only applied to men and the duties were, like, mopping the floor

Like yeah you'll get a good deal of people who are like "I wrote 10,000 Aragorn/Smeagol fanfics, where's my government subsidy" but I think that might be worth it

Exactly. Same deal with Mozart.

god dammit, Immanuel*

I think Immanuelle Kant is the final boss of Insanely Obvious Historical Autism

Like our boy obsessively created a branch of philosophy built around rigid, unemotional, rule based morality

BROKE: [reading about Kant never leaving his hometown, never getting married & never changing his schedule or diet his entire life] this guy was a loser

WOKE: I think this guy would talk about his coin collection at me for an hour, and was also a loser

Exactly, I've never experienced such a weird combination of instantaneous and "...surely this car has to stop spinning eventually" as that shit

Thanks. And extremely lucky because at no point did the airbags go off. Shout out to Honda.

For sure, like in no way should I have been allowed to decide whether or not I needed medical help at that point

It's as if your brain is insisting "Gotta keep moving, so many things to do--" while also making you totally incapable of doing anything meaningful or helpful

So you're just stumbling around ~with a sense of purpose~
