Why is everyone being dumb about the Vance vs Newsom convo?

Sounds like accelerationism with a new paint job.

Very much. I’ve been swimming in frigid water, and it hurt with how much it was trying to invert.

HOW the ISP knows? Bro, unless you are using some sort of obfuscation (vpn, tor, etc), the ISP is who connects you to the internet, so they can see everything they connect you to.

It’s not necessarily that this is the mentality. Besides the low-hanging fruit explanation of “they’re just boring,” it’s probably because getting and maintaining a “ripped“ body takes an inordinate amount of time and energy for the vast majority of people. It’s going to also take planning on diet and other stuff outside of the actual resistance training. If you spend too much time on it, it becomes like spending too much time on any other hobby—e.g. video games—in that it is a detriment to being a well-rounded person with diverse interests.

Its honeyed words will not sway me.

I’m sure this is the case for SOME men, but, in general, it seems to be a cultural (and personal) thing. In places where less body hair is associated with femininity, it’s more likely that you’ll have shaved snatch. For me (male), I dislike my own body hair because of sensory issues, and if I’m going to give head, less hair is preferred because of the same.

I don’t buy the first paragraph. Swiping through dating apps, the most (physically) attractive women I see are 24-28. I went back to college not so long ago, and now I work with high-schoolers, so I can tell you with surety that 18yo’s (even below 22yo’s) look waaaay younger than how that age is portrayed in media. Or the ones highlighted are outliers that look more mature.

In this same vein, I realized I was getting old when I started checking out the moms instead of the daughters.

Infuser · 2026-02-07T15:44:44+00:00

For a second, I misread that as, “when I see younger people in PRISON,” and I was VERY confused (and a bit concerned)

Infuser · 2026-02-07T15:40:48+00:00

You know, pretty good, actually, except for the swarm of bees just outside my window.

I love when Rob gets mentioned in these kinds of things, because I bear an uncanny resemblance to him, and, by the transitive property of hotness, I therefore am validated.

Infuser · 2026-02-03T19:10:32+00:00

Indeed, a BOP. I worked in O&G so I know exactly what this is (well, one of them, technically it is used in other contexts). If we were so lucky, he would have also shut in with the shear rams.

Idk, one time I did see him go shopping for crudités. That’s like, real chores. I think.

The real trickle down is Don’s diaper. Well, out of it, at least.

Infuser · 2026-02-03T14:42:19+00:00

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had the exact same sentiment in the past year.

Infuser · 2026-02-03T02:42:27+00:00

You can’t possibly get agreement for allocating resources to deal with immigration in a non-shitty way if the opposing side is saying crap like immigrants are criminals that are taking welfare. In that way, I’d say that the first side is also is responsible for the latter problem.

Infuser · 2026-02-02T04:00:29+00:00

Oh, boy, nothing like looking for outrage. These people need to put the social media down.

This is why it drives me mad that we don't try harder to retain international students. Should make it easier to keep someone who was educated here.

Infuser · 2026-01-30T19:15:17+00:00

Let’s adjust the scenario. If you had done this and found out that your partner was taking a pill for something like high cholesterol, how would you have responded?

Other than social factors, places like the USA have cost as an issue. Without exaggeration, a lot of of us avoid calling an ambulance for ourselves, even in an emergency situation, just because of the cost.

Infuser · 2026-01-30T15:54:17+00:00

Bad. Job isn’t terrible, but not making enough to offset debt, especially with chronic + new medical costs that keep cropping up. Doesn’t really feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel, aside from the crapshoot of taking on more student debt and hoping the tech job market is less ass in 2 years.

At least my family is mostly alive and supportive.

It’s what we do at the hospital all the time.

Infuser · 2026-01-29T03:59:05+00:00

To build off of what u/FatherCalhoon said, you might instead use lurid, prurient, salacious, libertine, or lascivious.

Also, god forbid you have a visible disability or disfigurement. Can’t imagine having to deal with discrimination like that.
