Take “evangelical” out and I’m like “can I sign up for his substack?”

If they could find a way to refine copium into fissile material they could become a nuclear superpower overnight.

Edit: Also, just fucking sue for peace like a normal goddamn country! You aren’t special!

It’s not stealing if someone is just giving it away.

Might still be affecting you. Tolerance to psychedelics tends to decrease rapidly, as in within days, while antidepressants can have effects for much longer. I’d give it another shot in a few weeks with a higher dose, like you said.

“Elon won’t go home. I can’t get rid of him—at least until I don’t like him,” Trump joked

lmao Elon is getting thrown under the bus so fast

Obvious question, but are you taking SSRIs? They attenuate psychedelics.

Anything to avoid having to present a marginally better option.

I will not unwrap gifts given to me by people who voted for a party that has talked about building internment camps and mass deportation

You’re going to have to be more specific.

I assume that’s the case for people running PR for the criminals. Probably also helps with the framing for people shamelessly claiming to be canceled when they haven’t experienced any real career consequences and just want to pretend that criticism is persecution.

I feel exactly the same way, I was literally just about to make the comparison to seeing a Marvel film. I knew it was going to be bad, but I made a point to see it in the theater because I wanted to see the result of this bizarre experiment in the medium for which it was intended, and I was not disappointed. Total mess of a film, but bad in ways that you simply would not see coming out of the Disney/Warner/Universal/Sony big-budget theatrical ecosystem, which gives it some redeeming value as a sort of historical artifact of filmmaking.

it’s weird how people who complain about “cancel culture” include both people who get canceled for saying something unpopular, and people who get canceled for sexual/domestic abuse

I’ve often thought about this, as well. It seems irresponsible for the media to not make a distinction between people who say dumb shit that gets them backlash, and people who commit literal crimes. It basically implies that what people say or do is irrelevant compared to their follower count or box office draw, which, while true, isn’t something that any media outlet would admit or acknowledge.

Not that I was rooting for Trump to win, but I’m glad the margin was as large as it was so that these people look like moon landing truthers instead of people adding to the broader discourse. Imagine how annoying it would be if we were dealing with a modern-day “hanging chads in Miami-Dade county” situation right now. People’s brains are obviously cooked enough as it is.

To be fair, Joe Biden could die in the next couple months and this would be true.

Haters will say it’s photoshopped

lmao why does Anonymous have a blue checkmark?

Not since Gerald Ford has democracy played so little a role in choosing the president.

They’re going to have to deal with the pull of Trump derangement syndrome vs the pathological need to rehabilitate every former president. I think the latter is going to win. You can’t set a precedent that it’s acceptable to condemn a former POTUS, where would it end?

I doubt they have a problem with him in general, just that they obviously made it clear that they’re not going to allow him a soapbox to try and drum up support for western style liberalism. If they wanted him gone, he’d have died in an unfortunate helicopter accident. I’m guessing that they made that clear to him in so many words shortly before he went on hiatus.

I knew China was on the right track when Jack Ma started acting like a western billionaire and they disappeared him for a while.

So good.
