I’d go as far as to say that I don’t think you make a bunch of money without it. I’ve seen multiple perfectly competent people with a bunch of money and connections not have the right connections. I saw someone else who got a bunch of money charging a fuckload for some service in Medicare. They nearly lost it all and then did lose a bunch of it for being a piece of shit. I had a guy tell me that I should start selling bullshit licenses and he was doing intensely well.
The streets are saying “wdymp has no wimsey. Wdymp is a beats people up”
And just like most of what the lamestream media tells you, it’s half true.
I love beating people up. 
this was my face as I put someone in a wristlock yesterday. I experience a lot of wimsey as I fight.
The dolls will learn how to breakfall and break people’s arms, mark my words.
Counting or not counting IPO market cap? 
I simply have a stance for fighting MMA. It would be interesting enough to toggle through (2 types of) grappling, kickboxing, and MMA on character select. Basically different amounts of uprightness and hands upness as I bounce from one foot to the other
I’ll have to see you dorks at a distance because I’ll be too busy in the winner’s circle
I guess I meant the fashion sense instead
I think it would be funny to work at Meta and then volunteer to contribute to uBlock. It’s job security.
They probably mean neo-pronouns, land acknowledgements, kneeling during the anthem, the black panthers, BDS, trans people, NBs, climate change, Mumford and Sons, Kendrick Lamar (a.k.a. Benz-is-to-me-just-a-car), prison abolition, so on and so forth
If it is then the argument is probably that it’s poor form to make fun of something they inherited as opposed to what they did.
They can always choose to not be warhawks, they can’t choose to not be inbred.
I like what you’re cooking. If I had any say I’d put you in charge of it.
I just meant that there’s so much she’s involved in and she had so much agency in creating the world that needs fixing it seems like a shame that she doesn’t get a moment of going “yeah, actually it was fucked up what I did” and gets to feel bad about it. In my mind she’d be sure to run into it whether she has to talk to the gaang or she does it on her own. So if you managed to avoid it while writing Azula you’d likely be doing it on purpose
I suppose she doesn’t need that much contact with the conventional story, but I do think she’d need redemption to continue to be an interesting character in the interesting world.
It’s so fucking technically true. MC talks to a bunch of people and the personifications are technically not people
I could see it. I’d be surprised. It seems like there’s a whole lot of energy reserves around her having that change of heart either because she listens to Zuko or runs around everybody rebuilding from the stuff she’s done. You could even have Toph be the person chasing her around as police chief. But instead you just introduce a new cast or something? Seems almost like playing dodgeball with the old story in my eyes.

I’m not defending swing voters. You think I’m here suggesting we reform capitalism or something?But that’s what the conversation is going to look like if you go out and talk to libs.
Still waiting on billionaires to do something similar first. Or all the people who took the payroll loans for their podcasts during COVID. Or the military. Or the people who do wage theft to give it back. Or that one time with the illegal tarrifs where the people to whom the cost was given aren’t the ones who were compensated.
I’d love a little “thank you for structuring your society around letting me loot everything sacred to the point you can’t even adequately look after the meek and sick”
You just don’t get it
You can use multiple bored apes on the same slurp juice
Thanks, I wrote it myself to relate to someone’s personal note.
El-Sayd’s election night in Michigan will be interesting. The primary challenger he beat was a CIA-AIPAC dem and won by like a .3 margin against the R primary winner in 2024 and current challenge (who is also AIPAC).
The narrative is that you need the centrest to win in a state that could go either way because that’s who’s going to reach the swing voters.
If he gets a blow out by like 4 or 6 points in the “purple”-est of states then it is illusion shattering on the idea of a linear political spectrum. After all, a right wing convert isn’t going to go through a political evolution through being a lib to wanting an end to the cruel excesses of capitalism. Libs are not cool! They’re not 50% of the way to cool. Eventually between AOC, Ilhan, and crew alongside Mamdani catching fire, the idea that doing things is not the political poison it has been touted to be.
Of course, if he loses we get 20 more years of left bashing and votebloo
Characters are 10x more interesting for how they interact with others compared to the cool thoughts jingling around inside their head. My writing group has told me as much many times.
The mentally unwell 14 year old daughter of an imperial tyrant obviously didn’t fall out of a coconut tree. And guess what? It’s DRAMA it’s ZUKO it’s SOMETHING TO DO as Firelord. Zuko has an incredible and well received redemption arc, why wouldn’t you want to see him try to reach out to his sister? He was kissy kissy with her friend. An intervention? Beach house part 2? I center it on Zuko because the onus is on him to get the ball rolling.
She can get the memo and choose to be stuck in her ways. That doesn’t make for good narrative, obviously. It’s like in Super Paper Mario you can ignore the call to adventure or choose to capitulate to the final boss and you simply game over. But if you want to see with fresh perspective the rebuilding after the war, awko-taco conversations with people who don’t like Azula, and how she chooses to become an adult who deals with consequences and finds joy then a redemption arc would be narratively compelling.
Unless you mean she escapes capture. But then what? We know she doesn’t become firelord. She’s going to run around doing petty crime during reconstruction because she’s bored? Who’s she going to talk to? How’s she going to be narratively interesting enough to put on screen? She gets confronted as a bandit lord to do the same thing that already happened in the Chase ad nauseum? Zuko’s going to go “please let me help you!” And she’s going to scream no! and escape over and over? The only thing that’s going to be interesting is for her to have consequences and the only way for her to grow up from FOURTEEN is to not be a gritty grimdark loser.
It used to be like that for me, but I’ve been in various levels of anxious and ruminating for a decade and weed just cranks it up anymore.
One time I took a modest edible and it caused an intense dysphoria in the sense that I wanted to unscrew my brain and roll it across the room to not deal with it anymore. It’s a bit disappointing when psychedelic visuals were once my only real source of inspiration and now I’m entirely sober.
It’s so funny, and by funny I meant blatantly racist, the way Mamdani and El-Sayed only ever talk about affordability and not wasting money on violence but every caricature is Death to America. I looked high and low for that 2 panel meme that’s all “together, we can make the city safe for our children” and hitlerlover88 is tweeting all fuuuuuck noooooo!!!
And I’m just seeing that AOC is no longer with her fiance, that’s what this whole thing is about. It’s just so weird because El-Sayed has been married for 20 years.
