Nit picking at a statement that I see often:
"No one put you in the friendzone except, you put yourself there."
This is not quite accurate. You are put in the friendzone by someone else, not yourself. But you decide whether you stay there or not.
This might seem like a distinction without a difference, but the way I see it the distinction demonstrates that others can put you in categories, but you decide whether or not you accept the role or not.
@Justicar It is that, but the boomers can be blamed for allowing state healthcare to make that shit expensive as fuck for people on temp work. It is also on them for mass importing people to replace the available workers. Also on them for simping after women in the workplaces for forever now too pushing it harder and wondering where it all went wrong.
I have been hearing a lot of sob stories from federal workers being cut from their jobs on my NPR recon. They can cry me a river, because people losing their jobs is nothing new. It happens all the time. I have not only no sympathy, but less because we should not be having the federal government doing so many functions in the first place. No they are not essential, we can go without them.
If we cannot cut spending in these ways, how could we possibly tackle the much larger spending cuts needed?
Still sick of any claims of covid or "the pandemic" being considered the cause various issues. It always was and still is the government that was causing most of the issues when they were imposing restrictions on everyone. It is even worse when we see more and more evidence that they were lying about the numbers and not even following their own bullshit rules.
But what can we expect from our government? Honesty?
@Stahesh @FinalDresdonation @RegalBeagle A good way to beat a processed sugar addiction is to phase it out with honey and dried fruit. Honey for use in recipes at a ratio of 2/3 honey : 1 sugar and dried fruit standing in for deserts and sugary snacks. If you're a soda drinker, try seltzer water with sugar-free flavoring liquid to start until you can get used to just water.
@RegalBeagle @Stahesh Get a reverse hyper too
I tell you guys, these next few years, we will be bombarded from the left and right about female loneliness and how we need to man up and marry these women, they will blame us for the low birthrates, they will say our standards are too high.

Boomers be gone. From the youth who have to pay your debt.
Without Tolkein's genius, all the the rich mythology of elves, fairies, trolls, orcs etc.. might have been just a literary footnote.
Without the Fantasy genre he established, anime might never have had fantasy and isekai.
No dark elves, no adventurers with unlikely harems, just endless mecha and school drama.
Trump and Elon dismantling USAID seems like I'm in a waking dream. I never thought it was possible to go for the head of the hydra so quickly.
Apart from The Duran who always do great work, the best coverage of this I've seen comes from Jimmy Dore of all people.
All the regime change, all the election rigging, Ukraine, the detailed mechanics of Globohomo, all of it headed by USAID.

"I opened my NYTimes app today. They’re trying, but they can’t keep up. News that broke just hours ago is already off the homepage.
THIS IS CRUCIAL
The entire liberal deep state command and control system is broken. Let me explain 🧵"
This thread aims at explaining how the Deep State manages to keep the Media unified in its messaging, and how Trump is applying maneuver warfare to overwhelm it.
