To be fair, incompetently painting it WAS vandalism, so Trump has spoken the truth.

Oh no!

RFK is now Anthony Fauci without the charm, education, intelligence, humanity, and experience - a sort of MAGA-fauci!

Hey republicans: you know that idiot that everyone said was an idiot and that we all warned you was an idiot? Turns out he’s an idiot.

And a liar. And a diddler.

Ok, so i was treated really bad in school. I know what the other kids did to me was fucked up but years of mistreatment alters your self-perception. I had never managed to shake the idea that i deserved what i got.

One time i did so many mushrooms that i just lay gibbering on the couch, staring at the ceiling. Wave after wave of dancing mandalas erupted from the bare drywall. This gave way to a million images that flashed one after another and seemed to change faster than the eye can possibly perceive; of course, i was not seeing with my eyes. It was such an incredible experience i later searched the Internet for a word to describe it (that word is phantasmagoria).

Among the images were recognizable glimpses of places i had been, toys that i had forgotten i had ever owned, scenes i had only witnessed in dreams…

The visions were composed in the way abstract paintings might be: occasionally symmetrical, always balanced, and delightful to behold. i am not embarrassed to admit that i cried, it was so beautiful. Like, i am choking up right now just remembering.

Here is my big realization: the visions did not come from the mushrooms! The mushrooms were just the key. The visions were me - my brain, displayed in gorgeous tableaux for my viewing pleasure.

I saw myself, and it was fucking beautiful.

I got some, but my parents wouldn’t buy me junk food or sugary cereal. I had sweets on special occasions or at other people’s houses.

My sweet consumption is still pretty low, but not zero. I over-indulged a bit in my early twenties but i got over it. I have internalized their lessons and am now teaching my kids the same.

Seriously! I'm almost 50 and I just moved up a division in league squash.

Clavinsecure?

I upvoted this comment even though i have experimented with mushrooms extensively. i used to think they were fun. i still do, but they are also sacred and occasionally terrifying. there are real health risks.

i would never tell someone, ‘don’t’. However, i would say, ‘don’t unless you have a reason’. i treat shrooms like prescription drugs now.

Besides the other replies, Iran has achieved a huge PR coup by revealing that the US is a paper tiger. The popularity of the US among western countries has never been lower because Trump’s Blunder pooched the global economy. Former allies are walking away from economic and military cooperation with the US.

Additionally, the US has to pay Iran 300B in war reparations as part of their surrender. The iranian regime will probably divert those funds to entrench their power.

That’s it. We found the most 21st century thing ever:

A GoFundMe for a political assassination.

The very notion of superman is woke. With his powers, he could rule earth. Instead he helps kids and little old ladies with nothing to gain for himself. The guy is empathy incarnate.

I know a lot of you woke up this morning in shock—staring at the footage out of Los Angeles, asking yourselves: How could this happen? Is this real? Is this really happening in the United States of America?

It’s almost like all those annoying people who tried to warn other Americans that Trump was a dangerous person seeking absolute power were right the whole time. Trump Derangement Syndrome exists, but the symptoms were badly described: I propose that the new definition of TDS should be the delusional belief that the US (and the world) is safe while Trump and his inner circle still live.

“We’re not in politics. We’re just some guys in Virginia making good whisky. But unfortunately, we’re the victims.”

Are you a business owner who does international commerce? Guess what, shit-for-brains: you better get interested in politics really fast. Your fucking president is violating treaties, threatening allies, breaking international law, and arming and publicly supporting a genocide.

For Christ’s sake, your country is actively threatening your customers. Why the ever-loving fuck would your customers sit still for that? Not everyone is American-stupid.

Because this is Trump’s America now :(

Hi! With the OED, it has been like that at least since I started university in 2007. However, lots of public libraries have subscriptions. I just go to my library website, login, and follow the link to the OED. There are many other reference tools that are also included in my library card. Libraries rule!

Edit: you can check merriam-webster for free, I think

Jury nullification for Luigi. Anything else is injustice.

Love it.

Steve Jobs once called the personal computer a bicycle for the mind; ChatGPT is a wheelchair for the mind. There is no shame in using a wheelchair if you need one, but if you don’t need one and use one anyway, you will come to need it.

Gen Z has managed something no modern generation pulled off before.

Whether it is true or not, i love how the article reflexively blames Gen Z. Like, did they invent Tiktok and brainrot? Did they ruin the school system? Did they put microplastics in the food and water?

Hey man, I downvoted but i wanted to tell you why. My family has multiple alcoholics. I’m not judging you at all, but i a wanted to encourage you to find other coping mechanism. Alcohol is very dangerous, especially when used that way. Be safe, bro.
