The enemy of my enemy or some shit.

Fairly sure that death is the ultimate reform that 100% guarantees criminals won’t be committing any crime ever again.

It just feels like its only purpose is to be a magnet for narcissists.

I’ve seen a few dating profiles near me with women claiming to be in Mensa. I’m glad they mention it, as it’s a dog whistle for me to move on to another profile that will inevitably ignore me because I just don’t stack up.

~That’s meant to be funny.~

To be honest I’m really surprised she got out of there so quickly, easily, and unscathed.

Damnit I was going to make the same joke.

An argument can be made that all actions people take are for their own self-interest. Even things like helping the community is done for reciprocal benefits for yourself plus the general increase in respect.

I believe if the act benefits someone else more than it benefits yourself, then that is what differentiates selfless from selfish.

That nobody gives a shit about you, especially if you are in any way not mainstream, and they’d rather you not exist than to help you.

Yes.

I think this was what I was looking for.

My goto device time killer is chess.com. It’s both educational and fun (assuming you don’t get your ass handed to you by a bot 😅).

If I am by myself and don’t want to engage my devices or read, I will try to do something productive, like clean or organize a space that is messy. When I lay with my kids as they go to bed, I usually stare into the void and reminisce about them when they were younger. Thankfully they now fall asleep super fast, so I don’t have to spend 10-20 minutes with them. When they were much younger, I’d fall asleep with them until my wife (at the time) would wake me for my bedtime.

For me it’s real simple: I talk to my kids about drug use and its negative impact on their growing minds and bodies. Like any growing organism, they need good food, fresh air, plenty of water, and exercise. Smoking, drinking, and drugs do not provide any of that, and all I ask of them is to wait until they are older.

and a thousand other exception

“ie” vs “ei” are my kryptonite. e.g. receive, sieve.

I haven’t always had this habit, but I brush my teeth twice a day and floss before bed.

Such actions, if confirmed, could be subject to international prosecution and sanctions.

Forgive me if I don’t hold my breath… 🙄

…the US might be or become the greatest security threat in decades.

I am dismissive of the idea that the US wants to “buy” Greenland or annex Canada as the 51st state, but I do not dismiss the global threat the US has become (e.g. Ukraine and Gaza come to mind) to the rest of the world.

He doesn’t want Greenland, nor does he want Canada. He wants a smokescreen to distract everybody from whatever bad shit he’s doing on any given day. And it’s working.

Thank you!

Thank you!
