Met my current partner at work. The funny part is I had given up completely, after going on dates with enough people, but just not really connecting with any. My previous relationship was haunting me, and I carried a lot of damage from it. I just couldn’t overcome it, so, I gave up. Then, out of nowhere, this gorgeous, kind, bubbly, and incredibly intelligent girl just showed up in an IT orientation I was leading. We started talking eventually, and we’ve been together for 2 amazing years. I know it’s cliché, but sometimes you find what you’re looking for precisely when you’re not looking.

Before that I dated on apps, and I can confirm it was hell. It’s probably changed in the 3 odd years I was using them, but Bumble was by far the best app, at least in my area. On that app, it felt a lot more meaningful than Tinder or Hinge.

How has your dating life been, OP?

Ah, yes. Trypophobia pancakes.

It would be pretty cool if SpaceX stopped speedrunning turning their surrounding lands into MadMax style polluted wastelands, though.

“Off with his head!”

I could think of one that would take care of Tucker once and for all…

I’m about as left as they come, and I’m armed. You go far left enough, and you get your guns back.

You know he didn’t get authorizations. Sucker bet.

Are you a bot? What a garbled mess of a comment.

I think you missed the point OP was, I hope, trying to make.

The truth here is that JD Vance is absolutely trying to red herring and manipulate anyone with children, or who can empathize with parents, into sympathizing with his backwards world view. JD is painting this nice little picture about how nice it is for a parent to have kids, how nice it is for a grandparent to have grandchildren, all while purposefully ignoring the elephant in the room, and the real issue behind why some people are hesitant to have children given the current state of things.

The real reason people are hesitating is not for them, but for the child. They want to spare a potential child from growing up in an America that looks like “The Book of Eli” or “The Road”. They’re holding off because they don’t want their kid dying in super wild fires. They don’t want their kid drowning in their home when the worst hurricane anyone has ever seen hits a coast. They don’t want their kid getting murdered for their supplies, and left to bleed out under an irradiated sky, ash falling on them as they go limp.

It’s the easiest thing in the world to say, “of course people should have kids, mine have made me so happy!”; it takes far more character to say, “I can understand why someone might be hesitant nowadays.”

Now, I’m not even sure JD Vance meant to red herring here, and demonize people with very real concerns. For all we know his gross narcissism cannot even allow him to really feel for his children beyond an extension of himself. However, I know JD Vance is smart. Because of that, I’m willing to bet he answered that question so that people like you can say, “I absolutly agree with that response”, and not even recognize that he completely red herringed the issue, ignored the subtilty, gathered sympathy for his shitty world view, all while grifting into oblivion.

Wow. What a disgusting, damning interview for him. I feel dumber for having read it.

He’s even more spineless, view-flipping, double-speaking, violent in his rhetoric, misogynistic, narcissistic, vile, and illogical than I previously knew; and I’ve read quite a bit on him. He is such a parasitic filth staining American democracy. I hope hell takes him quickly, but only after his children find out how lacking he is in every quality that makes a good man, and they tell him. Only then should hell swallow him whole.

This is why I encourage every other left-wing person I meet to arm themselves, if they have the means. MAGA is already armed to the teeth, so we might as well be. We can’t just be sitting ducks.

Exactly. I encourage you all the buy a gun, because they all already have them.

Interesting. I’ll need to look into hempcrete. I’ve heard of mushroom construction materials, but never hemp.

How?

I mean, with the political environment these days, I actually agree with all of those joke titles.

You have to remember, anyone voting for Trump is fucking stupid as hell; it might actually work on them.

Based and extra-points-for-Thomas pilled.

And he deserves every confused, agonizing second. Amen.

I don’t know how much more sensible of a cult they are, honestly. It’s hard not to see the merit in Ben Shapiro’s statement, even though I absolutely hate that little rat. Still, at least this cult of personality is actually good for democracy, and is against Trump.

They’re such good little Trump cum sluts, though. They lap up all of what he tells them to.
