As a straight man, every straight man I’ve ever been friends with has eventually simply made me so tired to be around them.

Like, times are hard. But then we just collectively… have unmet needs, and so many of us deal so badly with them. It just seems like straight men inevitably make it everyone else’s problem.

I have heard the same old thing so many times-- to have a friend, be a friend. Reach out. Listen, be empathetic, blah blah blah. And I wind up hanging out with some douchebag thinking to myself why am I in the same room with this fucking guy. Before I know it he’s drunk or desperate for a long, long hug from being so touch starved, or he lets his guard down and casually says some slur. I don’t have the patience to be friends with straight men. I don’t have the patience to start to try.

I’m not gonna even click, that headline is some incredibly bad pop sci

They plan to do what to the entire Gaza population? What was that verb?

“Thesis it?”

Heat rises. It gets trapped under the blanket and helps keep you warm.

Semi related, your body loses the most heat through your head so wearing a warm hat on a cold day makes a huge difference.

Millennial bait

It goes beyond trashy. He’s riling up his base with a show of violence and normalizing bloodsport. This is an intentional shift in social norms. His base laps it up-- government that’s fun like a wrestling match???-- and it takes the place in our public life that we had reserved for sober discussion of our nation’s wellbeing and handing it over to gleeful violence.

It’s not “UFC bad,” this is “drinking whiskey for breakfast,” the context matters. They are exterminating their enemies and it’s going to get worse.

Just for fun I tried reproducing this with chatgpt and it consistently messes up aligning the light beam with its illuminated patch no matter what I try. They always fail on the weirdest details

My kid loves roblox because its controls are pretty much completely ideal for her ipad and apple pencil

Roblox is entirely unplayable to me because its control schemes inevitably break all my millennial expectations and I don’t have great internet connectivity at home anymore. It hurts me and makes me angry, lol. ANY game that properly works with an Xbox controller is superior for my personal experience because of decades of that paradigm. Touchscreen controls are death and other control schemes are second class citizens in the modern landscape

I personally hope it gets bad enough fast enough for Elon to decide to go personally pioneer his Mars base. I would give anything for a live feed of him trying to survive a hundred million miles away from the rest of us

The good ordinary people on board flight 93 heroically prevented the terrorists from causing even more destruction by banding together to fight them at the cost of their own lives

When we stand up together we can stop atrocities from happening. But we have to stand up and we can’t wait and see.

Hey, that guy is a troll and a pretty good one. Block and move on, you’re worth it

Don’t say that! You might hurt their cop feelings! :(

All good, far preferred to someone saying that we need to be respectful to cops or else we’re responsible for their actions

You don’t need to attribute some grand chess plan

They hate, they kill, they are winning
