It’s like product reviews. The people leaving a review are either angry about the product or are so pleased they feel a need to tell the world about it. Most people, on the other hand, just use the product, have a perfectly average opinion of it, and don’t feel a need to tell the world. What makes things seem awful or great is you don’t usually know what percentage of the overall customer base they represent. Fifty bad reviews can be a red flag or noise depending on how many customers there are.

Presidential pardon incoming!

FEMA is dead. The states are on their own, they just weren’t given any time to prepare.

You are not alone. In fact, you sound just like me. I can’t recall a time when being aware of what’s going on has been so soul-crushing. It’s so easy to feel powerless in the face of all of it. I’m barely holding on, but I’m not vanquished yet.

You need to do two things first and foremost. One is to stop the doomscrolling. Since you’re retired, there’s probably no work stuff you need to be aware of, so turn off notifications. Another, likely much more difficult, thing is to have a chat with your girlfriend and explain what her constant messaging is doing to you. If she continues, it’s a sign she doesn’t take your feelings seriously, and you should consider moving on.

Beyond that, you might want to search out opportunities in your community to help those who are the most vulnerable to what’s happening. You can’t change the world, but you can make a positive difference for someone.

They live in a country where Black people can freely have their faces eaten by leopards just like White people. “I didn’t vote for this” is universal.

It was fairly common in the US decades ago, but you don’t hear it as much now. You’re more likely to hear it with “business” instead of “beeswax” when you do.

It sure does make it easy.

Did they also sign up for Trump University?

Definitely not an alien invasion.

Warren Buffett bought Berkshire Hathaway in part to spite its management. He had been buying shares for a while, and at one point offered them a chance to buy them back. They low-balled him on the price, he got pissed, took majority control of the stock, and fired the management.

That’s a trained duck.

X Pretend CEO Linda Yaccarino

I laughed but it still bothers me a little.

Oh gawd, the smell!

JWs set up a little booth on weekends in a park I ride my bike through. I’ve never seen them talking to anyone but each other. They always seem to be retirement age, do they have trouble recruiting young people?

When we were looking for a house, we put an offer in on one and the seller replied that they thought the offer was “insulting”. We thought that was rude but it was nothing compared to this.

Please tell me this is fake.

Nope.

Repeat after me: He doesn’t fucking care.

"57% of male Republicans " says it all.

Hard to imagine Trump would take inspiration from any Black person. It might male more sense to look at who those African dictators got their inspiration from.
