I think this is a really insightful comment that adds more depth to the conversation than the original article does. It definitely feels like we’re living in a society where all subconsciously agreed, to some extent or another, that we owe each other nothing. That doesn’t seem like a sustainable way for a society to be.

I dunno, I’m mixed on what the author is talking about here. On the one hand, it’s really not good to have any half of society just checking the fuck out; I think that the loneliness epidemic, regardless of gender, is a problem that is both real and addressable. On the other hand, what the author is pining for here is, imo, best left in the past. The kind of social norms she’s missing sound really unhealthy/toxic to me, and like they don’t really benefit anyone. I half expect some shit like this in Project 2025.

Schumer, if Trump doesn’t:

“Fine, I’ll do it myself”

yeah, middle aged progressive here. I can’t tell you how jazzed I am to see Cuomo take up his new job of Gently Used Airport Scarecrow. I really hope the establishment is seeing the writing on the wall.

The mod engine is supposed to be an eye-watering 700gb. Holy fuck. I’d considered trying my hand at some mods, but, uh… that might have to wait for me to pop another drive in my machine first.

I’m glad they shipped when they did, messy as it was. They really needed to just get something out the door, before it ended up permanently stuck in development hell.

Keep your Hoggs cranked

AROOOOO

I want wealth so I can build a better world for everyone else to live in, like building metro lines and libraries all over my city, affordable, mixed-use housing, and funding clean energy projects. We are not the same

We’ve got a company that comes around and floods people’s yards with Bifen to kill off all the “invasive pests”. I don’t know how many of my neighbors are using them, but I worry that it’s higher than I want to believe.

any luck? I’ve noticed a sharp decline in pollinators over the last two or three years. I DID manage to get some success with the native bees with some guerilla gardened sunflowers, though. That is, until someone cut them down.

I normally like their stuff, but this one’s a miss for me on a bunch of different levels

I don’t see a reliable statistical difference myself. For my part, I’ve got ADHD that causes shit to simply stop existing the moment it’s sat down, and that ends up causing a lot of clutter

This is going to be the breaking point if we actually put boots on the ground in Iran and don’t just engage in drone terrorism and bombing runs. More military action in the middle east is a ubiquitously unpopular platform, and wars that are perceived as pointless have almost always been devastating to ruling party / presidential support. Further, the US military has been struggling to hit its recruitment numbers for years now, and this isn’t going to help that. It also stretches the government’s attention even further, and makes it more vulnerable to dissident activity at home.

stealing refug.ee, as one myself

so DBZ was right about transformations all along?

I love the Mierdas touch

Don’t worry, I’m sure he and a few other democrats will be along shortly to censure Padilla like they did Al Green.

Important: this happened right after Noem said that they were staying in LA to “liberate” it from the socialist mayor and governor. Padilla stood up, introduced himself, and said he had questions for Secretary Noem, then he started getting shoved out of the room and arrested.

I did, while in high school and well before I realized I had ADHD and probably autism too, given the familiar behaviors in my diagnosed kids. That’s relevant because I had to work hard at learning social norms and conventions for stuff like interviews. Wal-mart offered me the job anyway, but I missed out on it because I missed the call and kept forgetting to check my voicemail.
