  • Legit, my stupid friends got mad at me for pointing this out the first time. Biden hasn’t held a regular job since the 70’s. His job was fundraising for politics. They picked him to run with Obama because he was the most milquetoast centrist available (which is literally a proponent of the police state in the US). He was a token, a skin tone balancer. Everyone’s buddy gaffin’ Joe.

    These dynastic politico assholes are the problem. If you’ve spent your whole life in politics, you are deeply out of touch. You can’t possibly legislate properly if you haven’t been forced to engage with the job market for decades. Not even because you are good at your job, because incumbency is the thing that decides elections in MOST cases.



  • It’s a very weird team sport thing. You tend to see a lot of incredibly lucid and detailed conversation in academia about it, but lab leak and natural origin split into a political argument for the majority of people who have it.

    But interestingly, a lot of governments accept the lab leak theory, maybe because the project of finding and testing wild viruses for potential pandemic response was an internationally funded project that all governments either quietly or loudly (in the case of the US) stopped funding immediately once a pandemic happened. Kinda understandably, fat lot of good that did.

    No one wants the smoke if it was a lab leak, if it was a purely natural thing at this wet market, well that can happen at any wet market anywhere in the world, there is no culpability there.

    What we do know is that we’ll likely never know the true origin of the virus, because the place it happened didn’t cooperate with finding the source of it. And if they have more evidence than the same samples and maps everyone else has, they aren’t telling.









  • Nikki (the happy version of Nichole to you) isn’t “yours”, you apparently only like her when she isn’t mad or sad (which appears to also be your fault). You don’t like her or can’t engage with her when she feels bad. Her bad feeling is something you are causing by prioritizing this other person instead of her, you are literally emotionally torturing her by causing her to spiral deeper with your reaction to her feelings about this.

    Your are hurting your partner by prioritizing this other relationship, if you are supposed to be monogamous, this is emotional cheating. You are ignoring when your partner is discussing these feeling with you because her bad feelings make you feel icky. You are refusing to even associate guilt with your own actions when you are entirely guilty.

    Keeping this poor Nichole person around while you bounce around between hyperfixations is both selfish and cruel. Even it is her between these hyperfixations. You don’t have the capacity to do the after care required to maintain her sanity while you emotionally cheat on her.

    Please stop, stop torturing this person and end the relationship instead of ignoring them and pining for the person they are before YOU broke them.

    I hope this is rage bait cause reading this ruined my day thinking about this poor Nichole person and what you are doing to them, and blaming them for in the replies.


  • I prefer blue maga, but it’s someone who thinks the world can made great by the liberal side of the American binary system. Despite the fact that civil “rights” which were fought for have been systemically torn apart by a ratchet effect and a forever shifting Overton window that the democratic party has been explicitly engaging in.

    They think the DNC can be trusted, that the system is not broken, and that change can be created from within the DNC/RNC monopoly by working with it. Not that we are a near fully-captured oligarchy with low education masses that are easily manipulated by media propoganda.

    Lmao, I’m the neckbeard! I’m not being a gatekeeping snob over what type of fiction people like. You came in here being condescending , I’m just calling you out for what you are.

    Someone who desperately wants me to care about what you care about in fiction, calling what other people like slop, and being mad people are having fun. Like how is that not neckbeard snobbery?

    I mean I’m not trying, to convince you of anything, nothing i or anyone says is gonna change your mind, at this point I just find your opinion boring and a bit sad!

    I made this for you:
