While I wish all countries were so energized, a great deal too many voted for the racist, Trump-adjacent conservative alt-righters - my country included, to my shame.

Oh, agreed 100%: most of these places will follow-up with some nauseating distortion of what one would do to be interesting, and you’re right that their end goal is just toxic. That said, I feel the basic message of “ya boring man, maybe that’s why nobody wants to hang out” is one of the harsh truths that a lot of…

Best advice I got back when I was figuring myself out: if you want more girls to take interest in you, be more interesting.

Thank you, came here for this.

I was a virgin until 28. I was occasionally lonely; frequently confused as to why I couldn’t get a girlfriend; but not once did I ever think women were the problem. How fucking crazy must you be to think that every woman in the world is the problem, not... you, the one common denominator to all your issues?

Don’t be such negative nannies! The tariffs will just drive American consumers to the GREAT US-made game consoles such as... oh.

Went to the ER recently with my toddler. Sunday night, 2 AM, sudden fever. We waited less than 20 minutes, got all the care she needed plus extra tests to be safe, and left with a bill of 50 euros that was covered by social security.

Pulling an all-night binge of season 1 with my now-wife.

Yes, ha very ha. In the meantime the whole Brexit farce being extended means the UK gets seats in an EU parliament that they explicitly don’t want anything to do with anymore. As a result, will vote on a any number of issues and laws that won’t apply to them, and since UKIP is set to get most of the seats because duh,…

Many things that make no sense in relation to past character development, then Sansa ends up somehow on the throne, I win my office bet, and then I forget that this season happened.

My lord, your head is so far up your ass you don’t even click the sources. Had you done so, you’d have found that ‘trading economics’ isn’t some dirty word, it’s literally just a website that aggregates official statistics from government agencies.

Man, for someone ostensibly trying to have an actual debate you have the worst attitude. I’m guilty of responding with one-liners, but it took you 3 posts to get to my actual points instead of just bloviating about the stock market and insulting me.

I left out the stock market because while systemic events do impact…

Did you read my post? Lemme quote the relevant part here:

I hated the Royal Assassin trilogy. Fitz is fine. The worldbuilding is fine. The antagonist is a two-dimensional mustache-twirling villain with no motivation other than “muhahaha I’m EVIL” and the entire world is conveniently and mysteriously blind to his every fault.

About a year ago I stumbled on Honkai Impact 3 and it got me quite hooked because I think it’s a superb game aside from (or in spite of) the gacha that powers it. It’s a 3D stylish action game like DMC or Bayonetta and the gameplay is absolutely on point with tightly timed attacks, combos, and dodges.

I don’t know why people keep bringing up the stock market when it’s just about the only indicator I didn’t mention, and for good reason.

Fair enough. For the record here was my source (unadjusted for inflation obv): https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/wages

This post will make me look like a Russian troll, so please consider my posting history before you snap at me.

If the dog hadn’t died, would they have been fired? Perhaps not! So Trump may not have won solely because of Comey, but were it not for Comey there’s a chance Trump would not have won.

I mean... Did he help Clinton? No. Did Trump win by a hair? Yes. So really, who’s to say?
