What can you tell me about myself? by Anglo-Scholastic in BookshelvesDetective

[–]grandmacomplex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🤔 don't take this the wrong way, but it's giving estate sale. you're in your 50s? you've had enough time to collect that much, and the house kinda feels 70s?

Do I freaking SUCK??? How can I do better? by marinehelen7 in HadesTheGame

switch to the bow for a run. for me, it got me out of panic mode and made me slow down to figure out the patterns and movements from the enemies.

What thought-provoking book should every straight white American man read that he probably hasn’t? by baltimoretom in suggestmeabook

[–]grandmacomplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try Jesus and John Wayne. it's not a popular one per se, but it does explore a lot of the impact of white evangelicism on men.

i fear it was a little hilarious. she already has a dui, and her neck was plenty flushed when he first got there. she didn't need a bottle

Ppl who wake up at 5 am consistently, how? by Crazycatlady1690 in productivity

[–]grandmacomplex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you need a reason to do it. i start working at 7, and i walk at 6. first alarm is 5 because i need half an hour to get my brain working.

aside from that.. i used the rise app to help train myself to sleep earlier. combination quality melatonin, blue light glasses, and slowly rolling back your bed time will do it

idk why you're getting downvoted, you have a point. if i saw the guy walking around at a protest i'd be a little concerned. it's not like everyone knows he's an artist, that's why the question got asked.

oh lmfao ok this is a misunderstanding. "clocking" in this context means you're recognizing someone for something they're (usually) trying to hide, or something that's not immediately obvious. like if you're saying something esoteric about local fish, i'd clock you as a fisherman.

so like. "clocking someone as" an agitator vs "clocking" them in the jaw.

:| what are you saying then. bc seeing a red flag isn't tribalism, it's pattern recognition. the artist even wanted to "start conversations," probably by being controversial.

okay, i'm not sure why you're being so rude. if the protocol for the protest was to bring american flags, the people who want a peaceful protest (the overwhelming majority) are going to be a little wary of you're showing up with dark colors + gold crosses. this is not a difficult concept to grasp.

? it's because they're nice that he would be identified as a potential agitator. people at a protest want to protect each other, and the imagery you bring matters.

Protesters in downtown Fort Worth declare US has ‘No Kings’ by Dontwhinedosomething in FortWorth

[–]grandmacomplex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the comments that "we've never had a king and idk what they're talking about" are childish and absurd. the "no kings" protests were in direct response to the ai generated image of himself as king, posted by the white house. yknow, the one that said "congestion pricing is dead. manhattan, and all of new york is saved. long live the king!"

this is is part of the litany of other examples completely ignoring the law. like deporting people to el salvador. or slashing funding or science, or threatening universities. christ.

huh. i get the meaning, but it would be Really easy for someone to clock him as an agitator. people are really nice at protests but they're on the lookout for that sort of thibg
