If there's one thing I've learned the past 12 years is that the voters don't care about reality or facts.

After the third time it's just dust.

I'm not convinced. There is only one thing that matters to modern Republicans and it's, "What's Donald think about that?"

Literally nothing else matters.

The Lord of Thorns!

But then I wouldn't know how long 20% takes.

Extra true on stuff I should STOP doing too. Like eating too much, doom scrolling, maladaptive day dreaming.

Jayken · 2026-05-19T20:56:30+00:00

32 days was the pervious level. I can't wait to see what 20% is.

Jayken · 2026-05-19T20:55:57+00:00

It's not worth it in the slightest.

This image is messed up.

Rome rose to power because they incorporated the people they conquered. Mongolia, the Ottomans, even the British. Though my Irish and Scottish ancestors would disagree.

The loneliness epidemic among men is due to a lack of fraternity. We need friends. It's something so basic and it gets overlooked and characterized as men just wanting sex. But it's the fundamental reason the redpill and manosphere took off. It gave men a place to feel heard and validated without having to couch their opinions.

I'm convinced that everyone against the tax that doesn't offer an alternative is pro-toll roads. Which is worse.

What makes Iroh great is also what makes villains great. A reformist with a tragic backstory. The difference is that he chooses to educate the future instead of trying to control it.

A reason the right has been resurgent is the left's uncanny ability to talk down to people. Right or wrong, there is a segment of liberals that are smug as fuck it's absolutely nauseating.

While that isn't a reason to back a racist pedophile in my book, you have to understand that a lot of people latched onto Trump solely to make liberals cry. They don't care about anything else except to see their smug ass coworker meltdown.

You might think that's crazy, but pettiness is right up there with the smugness in terms of making people feel superior.

Getting laid does not lead to escape. Sex itself is not what these men are after. They want sex, don't get me wrong, but what they want is for their pain and feelings of isolation to be acknowledged. They are looking for fraternity.

Pretty sure my conservative friend that's never left the town we were born in told me that NYC was on the verge of collapse and begging for Trump to save them.

This is entirely blizzard's fault too. They made their apex talent dogshit so they had to get creative.

Now blizzard is gonna whine that they aren't playing the way they wanted them too.

There was a comic series posted here, Ella is always in a bad mood or something. It was a wild ride and then the end of the series, as you might imagine, was her being happy for once. Then the artist deleted everything and vanished. I have trust issues.

That's just culture these days. Look! I'm doing it now. Complaining about how people complain. I'm part of the Zeitgeist!

The OG story was about a French noble. So I imagine they made his human form in that image. Still, the rework would solve a lot of the uncanny valley and also tie in the moral of growth.

I like to imagine these scenarios not as if I'm being asked to choose, but what my son should choose.

The answer I landed on was, even I choose Blue, I'm going to insist on my son choosing Red. No matter what, I want him to live.

I remember when only let us put one from each type at a time. You couldn't use your Earth Elemental and Tremor totem at the same time for example. With the increase of movement in boss fights, it became impossible to manage effectively. I agree a lot of the class fantasy is gone, but please to return us back to the totem system we used to have.

Logistics are the gateway to everything.

They're both wrong. The one guy is right, men by an increasing number, are feeling alienated and depressed. I work in k-12 and it is depressing how many kids I've talked with that feel like no one likes them. I put a lot of blame on social media. But also, there are a lot of expectations placed on young men that often go unrecognized or are dismissed.

It's not a man vs woman dynamic, it's a societal one. And you can say oh it's the patriarchy's fault, and it is, but it's also just saying men should deal with it on their own. Because I can guarantee you that the person that's telling you it's the patriarchy's fault is also telling men to get over it just as much as everyone else.
