+1 for WTFJHT. Bless that man for sifting through unfiltered news to protect the rest of us from MSM brain rot.

But techbro 10 years ago was an undercut and a leather jacket. I’m hoping there’s a label for this iteration.

Looks like he and Zuck have the same stylist. Anyone know what this look is called, with the oversized tee and chain around his neck?

Medicare doesn’t cover long-term care. When the elderly drain their savings on a nursing home that’s when Medicaid kicks in.

I know someone who just got hired at an unfinished Meta data center, ostensibly to do some low-level hardware monitoring and maintenance. His boss admitted that he accidentally hired people a couple months too early, so the first couple weeks have consisted of sitting around, eating free food and playing mobile games. Next week they’re being flown to an active data center out of state, but they won’t have much of their own work to do for another 4-6 weeks.

So these guys are being paid $25/hr, 40hrs a week, with a free lunch, and making no money for the company. I would expect any other company to find this unacceptable, but it’s just a drop in the bucket for Meta.

Damn dude, these are legendary “this guy knows his shit” comments.

This is the closest to my philosophy. I keep a few $1 bills in my car and hand them out to anyone who asks. I’m not interested in judging whether they look like they need it, or what I think they’ll spend it on. I just want them to know they’re not invisible.

He’s pleading with people to fund the DNC, when DNC-backed candidates are often the most useless losers on the ticket.

Jesus, you’re committed! Thanks for the tips.

What’s your language-learning method?

To your first point, there was a story about the alarming number of searches for “did Biden drop out” but it didn’t mention that this would have included searches like “when did Biden drop out” and “why did Biden drop out.” So it was a half true and half clickbait.

Doesn’t seem that suspicious to me. One person could be supplying dozens of users who hang around that area. If they’re all doing the same batch, and the batch is too strong, it follows that something like this would happen.

My god, that must have been a horrible scene. There are a few intersections in my city that have become hubs for fent users and it’s very sad to see. I don’t cast any moral judgments, but it is visually disturbing to see people frozen or slumped over.

Won’t someone think of the theatrics?

Most of the movie was about the man himself, but it did end with a very clear defense of the bombings. It was a compelling defense, and I don’t know if it was based on Oppenheimer’s own reasoning, but it did digress from the biopic format.

That wasn’t a strawman, it was a direct challenge to your claim that non-voters decided the election.

I’m a therapist who works almost exclusively with men. Here one pattern I’ve seen often:

• Man is conditioned from a young age not to identify, process or express his feelings
• Man doesn’t share his feelings with anyone - friends, family, partners - for years
• Man sees woman as safe, caring and validating
• Man confides in woman only and continues not sharing feelings with others
• Woman becomes overwhelmed, resentful, dismissive
• Man gets the message that he never should have opened up in the first place

It can be true both that men need to open up more and should not treat their partners as therapists. We all need support systems because no one person can always be available to give us everything we need. It’s not wrong to confide in a partner, but if that partner is the only confidant it’s precarious for both. And I want to emphasize this is not the fault of a man, or men as a community. This is the result of generations of conditioning from both men and women, and both men and women play a part in the solution. I also want to recognize that many of us don’t have a network of people we could open up to even if we wanted to, and many more can’t afford therapy.

If anyone reading this can afford therapy, I highly recommend it. It’s a place to undo some of that conditioning, to sit with someone who’s committed to listening, caring, and not judging.
