It was Martin Prince vs Bart Simpson.

She ran a traditional campaign on issues, Trump got them chanting “More asbestos” difference is they voted.

The Dems need to realise that this is now a popularity contest and you have to fight a cult of personality with a cult of personality.

This is probably the most showerthought showerthought I have seen in a long time.

Its all a very complex equation of quality vs additives vs effort vs cost vs time vs storability vs fridge life vs convenience.

Some stuff is just too much or too little of some of them.

I think if he loses theres a good chance that the people behind him will knock him off.

You know what works better than a hero? A martyr.

Well, Under Siege has fans.

Im here for Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey chewing the scenery tho.

Actually the one who was clearly out to impress daddy did the best, 2 years later he proved his business model could work and got bought out. Probably because he mentally tied his entire self worth to the project and just refused to be told it wouldnt work.

No thats “Are you mad at me now daddy!?!”

Agreed, I think the diehards have gotten much louder and the people who saw him as a catalyst for change have gotten a whole lot quieter.

I admit that I very much didnt think it was a good thing when he got elected but I did think “Maybe he will piss off a few people who need pissing off, upset some apple carts and generally upset the status quo and MAYBE be a catalyst for change some of which for the good.” Yeah… it wasnt.

Deficits are a funny thing.

How are you doing it? How long for? How big a deficit?

Previously its been hard, but I did a lot of research about macros, meals, using fat content to slow digestion etc… Once I got my diet dialed it was easy, because I figured out a few meals that were FUCKING HUGE and still low enough in calories that I got to be “full” at least once a day and hit all my nutrients.

That being said I’m on the last 2 weeks of a 750 cal deficit for 12 weeks and yeah, its starting to get real. Ive had a couple of days this week where Ive said “Fuck it” and had a second protein bar after dinner taking my deficit to only 500. After this I’ll be transitioning back to maintenance cals for 8 weeks although I have promised myself a “Mega blowout” meal of a whole costco pizza and I can eat until I dont want any more pizza in 1 sitting.

Its not so much that you feel “hungry” but you learn to love the feeling of not existing on a sugar and fat cocktail 24 hours a day. I think I’m actually going to have trouble readjusting to an extra 750 cals a day, let alone going onto bulking cals at some point.

I mean, I know 3 people who launched “Startups” and 2 of them had serious “ARE YOU PROUD OF ME NOW DADDY!?!” energy.

NFS Underground 2. I will pay full price on preorder to EA.

Thats 3 promises broken at once.

Yeah thats kind of the whole point of social media. You post, people comment.

I see more reposted memes about the song than times I hear it.

If people shut the fuck about it, Nobody would care.

Look, I’m getting confused here.

Who do I cheer for in this one? The “Death to the west” people or the “Come on guys, its one little genocide” guys…

I was a bouncer for 10 years. This is pretty much correct but its also about intensity, if someone starts off with anything lower than 11 out off 10 thats the opening.

Street fights arent boxing matches, theres no rules. You swing at me in public I assume you are intending to kill me and act accordingly until you back off or cant hurt me anymore.

Ive found its made doing end-runs around enshitification easier.

For example Trying to find a front suspension top for a peugeot 206 gti with google means being recommended everything front suspension for the peugeot 207, 208, Vw Gti, Swift Gti… not to mention the websites “Best price on insert what you searched for here” only they sell nothing.

So I ask chat gpt for the part number and search that.

Just remember Russia.

Everyones a gangster until the snow starts speaking Finnish.

I like the styling too, its got a wicked 80s cyberpunk/Delorian/Tron vibe. I dislike… everything else. I get why a lot of people wouldnt like it, its a love it or hate it deal.

But now that Musk is such a polarising figure and the truck is such a polarising design I think a lot of people cant or wont separate the two.

Unfortunately this clip from the Howard Stern movie sums up the problem.

Trump and his supporters will just see the views number as support, but a lot of people who fucking hate him engage as well.

A significant portion of that number will be people who hate Trump looking for more things he got wrong, more bad takes, more lies and more meme material.

I doubt they will have to look hard.
