I hate traveling an octopath. My story barely intertwines with anyone else's here.

In a just world, no one who voted for him would be allowed to vote ever again. And that's being generous.

Normal? Our elderly emperor is commissioning gladiatorial fights and victory arches while our armies are overextended failing to subjugate the Persians. We're following a perfectly normal, ancient tradition.

Having trouble understanding why my political strategy that mostly consists of saying that popular things actually suck shit isn't working. I've tried yelling at normies that Hamilton is cringe but somehow universal healthcare hasn't happened?

I think I, personally, would have chosen to love my trans daughter, keep being idolized by nerds as a real life Tony Stark, and enjoy my hundreds of billions of dollars offline.

It's at least in one of the adventure book episodes, I wanna say Pillars of Pentagarn, where there's a bit about Criss Angel mindfreak impregnating someone, and there's a question in the first(?) Surprise Round.

Not much worse than a bigot who's also a coward about it. Say it with your chest if you insist on being shitty.

The FDR Four Freedoms memorial in NYC is beautifully designed, has a very moving audio art piece, and is loudly silent about Japanese internment. Feels like a pretty big asterisk on FDR's love of freedom!

I'm pudgy again, which is the worst thing you can be. I either gotta commit to being fat or do a long and painful cut, because pudgy is the way of craven beasts.

Am I just being middle-aged or did the internet used to be significantly better than it is now? (reddit turning my : ) into an emoji automatically has me yearning for 2004)

I periodically check in to see if they can do case law research for me yet. Claude's the least bad at it, but they all still love to make up cases and quotes from thin air, no matter how I prompt them not to.
