I suppose that’s probably a way of calling them a baby?

This checks out with some of the casts I’ve seen of Korean Starcraft players.

Easy, just get in an uninsured car accident. Now you’re in debt for the value of someone else’s property.

Ooh, I bet I could 10x my negative wealth pretty easily.

Profound incompetence seems like a possibility tbh. They absolutely should have known about it but it sure seems like they’re basically just fucking around, not taking things seriously. So I’d definitely believe that they saw an Iranian warship pull up and were like “WTF is that doing there? Kill it!”.

I don’t think that should excuse their actions, but it does seem like a believable chain of events.

Hey, I’ve seen this one before.

Last time it was crypto instead of AI, but other than that it’s just the same shit again.

So he’s gonna have solidarity with that white woman who was shot by ICE yesterday, right?

Make it Tylenol to level up your special interest.

I’d settle for “Not the worst year”.

That ascribes far too much agency to AI. It’s people like him who are putting society through the woodchipper.

I’d say that capitalism manufactures the chains

I like the Tron reboot movies more because of Daft Punk rather than the other way around.

It maybe depends on the particular culture/context around you. When I was growing up I was usually in explicitly Christian contexts, so it was probably more repressive than what some people experience. I think that toxic masculinity is pretty widespread, though.

I think the issue there is that male friendships in general and especially with females are culturally discouraged.

My personal experience might be taken with a grain of salt because I’m a trans female (and my wife clocked that before she started dating me, even though I didn’t realize it myself until later), but from my personal experience being raised as a male I had very few friendships with girls and women and I never dated until I developed a close friendship with the woman who is now my wife. She expressed interest in dating me, and eventually we committed to it.

So, I think that breaking that cultural norm and encouraging men to have more friendships would help a lot.

Why do you dislike Daft Punk?

So… he’s blaming this murder on Trump supporters. That’s what that means.

When you put it like, that, that sounds like exactly what they’d want off the coast of Venezuela right now.

For sure. They shouldn’t have blown up the other boats either, but spilling the oil into the sea would certainly have been bad.

Huh, I wonder why they seized it instead of shooting it like the others? It couldn’t possibly be for the oil, right?

No shit

Edit: Mamdani should run for president, he’s by far the most popular Democrat right now, and for good reason.

Edit 2: Darn, he legally can’t. Still, it would be great to have any actual leftist run. And charisma helps too.
