didn't say it wasn't an act of war I just mean it being an act of war doesn't make it illegal in itself when you're already at war (even if the war itself is illegal)

if someone goes to a 7/11 to buy a KitKat so they can get a plastic bag to choke someone later that doesn't make buying the KitKat an aggravating factor in the murder investigation :v

you've been bombing the shit out of them, I'd say a blockade isn't exactly an escalation

Can never get over how tawdry the modern Right's view of Western Civilization is; nothing to build, nothing to aspire to, nothing even really to destroy or wage war against, just sullen resentment of their own children and seething hatred of the cities whose economics subsidies their regimes.

Lady I'm a mailman and you have a private army of pregnant women here

holy shit he actually conceded

folks, they tell you they’re invincible

they tell you they’re inevitable

they tell you that you should give up and stop fighting

Fragile Talking to Tomorrow: "Remember, Death is not the end"
Sam, shuffling in: "Death is not the end"

*everyone looks at him*

Fragile: "Sam, you should go get some rest"
Sam: "Ok, bye"

BITCH WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU INVITED HIM TO COME TO THE SHOP AND TALK TO TOMORROW.

and every time he just walks off awkwardly immediately after or someone tells him politely to go away

I love how in the more character focused personal narrative of Death Stranding 2 the socially awkward protagonist has developed the habit of barging in on intimate moments and conversations other people are having by repeating the last thing someone said as he walks into the room, killing the vibe

at least he's being consistent on his "eh come on guys purity testing bad" bullshit. fuck him anyway though because purity tests are good.

RIP to one of History's Worst Viktor's

my experience job hunting was that it fucking sucked and I got nothing but also I was in Canada and unemployment was 2% higher than in America so I don't know if it applies to vibecession discourse :v

Ye they should've done this from the start (what they really should've done is not attack Iran but like if you're *going* to do it this is what was probably written in the 30 years of plans to attack Iran they had written up somewhere and didn't use) and doing it now is worse for them

The Senate parliamentarian is the reason why anti trans legislation hasn't really gotten through congress outside the one defense Bill at the end of 2024 tho

When people say the Swalwell allegations are a distraction from Trump/Epstein (they are all part of the same bigger picture), I have to wonder why these people even supposedly care about Trump and Epstein. Do you care about sexual violence or don’t you? Why do you only care about some of it?

You, years later: Hope what I said didn’t come out wrong. Oh god what if they thought I mea

United States Representative to employee: suck me off real quick?

A comprehensive peace agreement would be of immeasurable benefit for the region and the world, but it would also make JD Vance look good, so it's impossible to say if it's good or not.

yea i feel like this is being glossed over?? like he’s admitted to at the very minimum being a creep, so why would
you want him to be governor?

The sooner we all come to terms with the fact that *conservatism itself* is a fiction of serious politics the better.

We must do away with the fiction that conservatives are valid participants in the democratic process engaging in healthy discourse about ideas which we might disagree with but aren't fundamentally invalid

The creation of a mythological National Review (high-minded, intellectual, virtuous conservatism) despite the wide availability of the real, continually publishing National Review (reactionary, chortling bigotry with a good vocabulary) is a load-bearing fiction in our political system.

There's a metal band called Glyph that kicked out their lead singer when they found out he was beating his now ex-wife. That same ex-wife is now the lead singer of Glyph. I think a lot of men could learn from their example.

It really bothers me how effective reactionaries like Jonathan Haidt have been at convincing the median center-left reader that the internet itself is somehow filled with evil magic by its very nature instead of the truth, which is that it has been used to exploit children by Mark Zuckerberg
