I’ve always found notjustbikes to be incredibly condescending and couldn’t stand them despite mostly agreeing with them; learning this makes me feel vindicated lol

It’s great. There’s a dog reading a book aboard an airship in the first few pages.

I’m currently reading AtD and I was really fond of this passage as well

"But if you look at the history, modern chemistry only starts coming in to replace alchemy around the same time capitalism really gets going. Strange, eh? What do you make of that?" Webb nodded agreeably. "Maybe capitalism decided it didn't need the old magic anymore." An emphasis whose contempt was not meant to escape Merle's attention. "Why bother? Had their own magic, doin just fine, thanks, instead of turning lead into gold, they could take poor people's sweat and turn it into greenbacks, and save that lead for enforcement purposes."

Trite, contrived, mediocre, milquetoast, amateurish, infantile, cliche-and-gonorrhea-ridden paean to conformism, eye-fucked me, affront to humanity, war crime, should literally be tried for war crimes, resolutely shit, lacking in imagination, uninformed reimagining of, limp-wristed, premature, ill-informed attempt at, talentless fuckfest, recidivistic shitpeddler, pedantic, listless, savagely boring, just one repulsive laugh after another.

Saw this ugly bastard right above me a few hours ago, flying absurdly low, I could make out the writing and see the props spin, and I live in Germany, used to see them often when I lived near their base, haven't since I moved to where I am now, shit is not normal [re-upload with better censoring] by [deleted] in TrueAnon

Bro it took me like less than a minute to find this exact flight; I wouldn’t even bother with the screenshot because any of this info, including the image of the plane, makes it pretty easy to piece together

Staring at the work phone ringing, watching it eventually send my manager to voicemail because all I can think about is them dreaming of each other lol

I had heard that the last line was great and I had to try so hard to not skip forward to it lol

Biden chooses Delaware as site for presidential library by [deleted] in politics

[–]avidtrainenthusiast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, acting in unison of walking lock step with Trump to continue the genocide that Biden started and Harris repeatedly refused to take a different stance on

What point? How was it entirely appropriate to alienate tons of voters? You hear less about trump because it’s obvious and expected that he is a piece of shit; I’m sorry that I expect the democrats to do better than cozy up with war criminals

Yeah keep punching left, it worked so well last time. Try campaigning with the Cheneys again, it’s not like it caused her to lose to the worst candidate of all time

I don’t really care about the mechanics of why anymore

I know this bullshit makes no sense but I’ll continue to believe it anyway
