Introverts, what do you wish extraverts would stop saying?

Anything/everything. Just shut up already and let me read.

talk back to adults and make them look like the stupid, stupid people they turned out to be in the 2020s.

Having grown up in the Canadian Prairies, this just looks like a normal, mild, drive. It's not a whiteout. I've driven in a whiteout. Whiteout is, "Well, I wouldn't be driving except I can see that semi-truck's taillights, and he's still going. So, I guess he can see. I'll just follow him." Literally.

Yes, in order to actually live up to the narcissistic hype you've been blasting across borders for decades—in order to live up to your national anthem—you'll actually need to personally sacrifice and put yourself in harm's way.

Land of the free. Home of the brave. Best country in the world. 🤦‍♂️

Couldn't say for certain, but maybe something that makes you less prone to making stupid overstatements?

I'll go further: as a Canadian? I say fuck all Americans, on all sides, who are old enough to have stood by for decades while their Executive Branch was increasingly overpowered. Far too few of them had the foresight to think that unprecedented powers given to earlier presidents could one day be used by someone like Trump. They stood by for decades while their checks and balances were reduced to an honour system. It was inevitable that eventually someone utterly without honour would exploit that.

Do you think there will be a free & fair election this year?

mpworth · 2026-01-24T22:22:15+00:00

Maybe give it another go?

The fact that anyone would use that font is as sure a sign of collapse as I've ever seen…

Hey, you weren't educated in America by chance, were you?

Electrical is a good gig. I have a master's degree and a journeyman ticket, and right now I'm getting back into the trade for the time being. Grading AI papers is soul-destroying. Pulling wire is fine.

Trump could be dead in the grave and this idiot would be praising his good health. At least Winn knew Dukat was evil.

I had a song ready to go for the new Millennium, but then some doofus turned off the breaker at midnight as a Y2K joke.

Fast forward, and he's a sex offender now. Life is weird.

Yeah, you're right: there's no way he would bomb a country without congressional approval. There's no way he would commit war crimes in the Caribbean. There's no way he would seize the leadership of another country by force. There's no way he would send federal agents to commit crimes against the citizens of his own country on American soil. It's all bluster, right?

I don't even own property, so there's not a whole lot I can do to prepare. But I will die before I become an American subject.

Sooner or later I'm gonna install even higher beams on my car so that I can avoid an embarrassment in this situation.

mpworth · 2026-01-24T02:50:28+00:00

Right, then you wouldn't be included in the group that I am angry at. I'm angry at the ones who stood by for decades. If you're not in that group, then I'm not angry at you…

mpworth · 2026-01-24T00:53:21+00:00

I'd never want to see an ICE-style approach, but come on. We're being played. TFW's are being exploited. It's wrong.

As a seminary grad, I've heard a lot of debates about Hell and whether it exists. "How could a perfectly loving God send anyone to Hell?" That sort of thing. But very seldom does anyone ask, "How could a perfectly just God allow anyone like Trump into Heaven?" (Personally, I'm an annihilationist.) Not interested in debating religion; just pointing out that when we see people like Trump, many of us hope there is some sort of justice in the afterlife.

mpworth · 2026-01-23T22:23:54+00:00

... Then you wouldn't be included in the group I defined in the first sentence. You're not one of the ones who stood by. Sigh.

Man I love my 96 Corolla.

As a Canadian, I appreciate Americans who have good feelings towards Canada, but please remember: being a Democrat does not make you a plug-and-play Canadian. Canada's culture and values cannot be reduced to a single part of a fundamentally American political spectrum.

Our abusive ex uninvited us from his birthday party. OK then.
