Strongly recommend seeing it in a theater if you haven’t had the chance. That first camera pan up on Rick is is magical in front of a rapt crowd.

The first thing you can do is stop acting like a terrified groundhog. Go live your life and be in cool defiance of what they want you to feel like. Go vote when it’s Election Day, and live your life. If tyrants come for us, then we fight. You’ll pry my happiness from my cold, dead hands.

I love how affluent white liberals are now freaking about living under tyranny. Everyone else who isn’t white and affluent can point to times where they’ve been abused by authority. White liberals actually are given the status in our society to maybe do something about it, but fear is a MFer.

They want you to be miserable. They want you to be terrified. They want you to be an anxious wreck. They want you to be looking for a way out of the country. They want you to believe the absolute worst, and be stuck in that permanently. Fuck all that. Don’t hand over your happiness to anyone.

I did the same thing. I think I’m gonna have to log out of this thing for a while. Life is hard enough without everyone screaming at me that we all need to move to Bosnia or some shit

I care about the country/world and I want to pay close attention, but I can’t let the fate of that man control my happiness. I just want to make my family & friends as happy as I can, be helpful when I’m needed, and then focus on my own sense of well being. All that is hard enough without him.

I’m not exaggerating either. Gun to the head: watch the debate or drink your own urine Me: can I have ice or does it have to be neat

I’m impressed/horrified by anyone who actually watched the ‘debate’. I’d sooner drink my own piss than watch that. My head is firmly and deeply in the sand and it will stay there.

Lawrence threw for 4100 yards in a season already. Even as a Fields believer, I know he’ll never sniff that production

If it was a joke, and just didn’t land, I get it. But if you actually feel this way, I guess you’re someone different than I thought you were?

I’ve never read anything you’ve written (and I’ve read almost all of it) that made me wince from confusion and feeling like I was kicked in the gut. It felt like edgelord shit at my expense. I never expected a guy I love and respect so much to suggest I’m a creep for doing the hardest job possible.

Can I ask you earnestly, if you meant what you said, or if it was an attempt at a dark joke? What you said was legit hurtful, and made me wonder if other people see me this way too. I’m not a commenter-level reader, but I get that people felt really insulted and hurt by what you suggested.

I can still smell that ‘morning after a keg’ fragrance, 20 years later. Thinking of it sitting for two weeks starts to tickle the ol’ gag reflex

Roommate’s snake died in its cage and he just… left it there. For months. He just slept in that room like it wasn’t there. Also another guy lived with us during one summer and left a huge box of European porno mags in a closet. When I say huge, I mean huge.

I also love when MN fans say that they’re a “small market”. MFer it’s TWO cities with a total population over 4 million, and sprawling suburbs in every direction

If someone said to you “hey, soaking your home in gasoline every day is incredibly stupid, dangerous, and will very likely kill you and your family. BUT, it’s really good at keeping ants out of your kitchen” - you’d think they were insane. This is how I see AI. I know I’m not alone.

As a bears fan I earnestly hope this happens, and I hope he’s good. It would whip ass to have Maye and Caleb be division rivals. Everyone except Packer fans deserve someone they can cheer for

I drive by a park in LA sometimes that you can tell when a fent dealer has just come through. People just laid the fuck out as far as you can see, convulsing, struggling to lift their limbs. Heroin seems quaint by comparison, and I think it’s just gone. Cheap Chinese fentanyl has taken over.

I watch football so I understand having completely subjective, archaic, flat-out nonsensical rules with zero consistency in enforcement, but there’s something that still baffles me when it comes to basketball

There’s times when someone gets clobbered while driving to a layup, but that’s no foul. Other times a fingertip makes contact on a fadeaway jumper and that’s a foul. Sometimes there’s some benign, incidental body contact that seems like it happens on every play and that’s a foul

Last week an old friend (we’ve barely talked in years) started sending me episodes of this guys podcast. I took one look at his face and saw so many red flags. I had never heard of him but I knew immediately that he was Rogan-adjacent. I’m wrong about a lot of shit, but this one was easy.

I haven’t done a deep dive on Maye, but even in his glossiest highlights, I don’t really see it. He has nice soft touch on deep throws but otherwise I feel like there’s a ton of projection with him.

Cool, just keep saying false shit online so you can beg for recognition about how pristine your values are
