These are cheap b/c no one wants to vacation there. Nothing says summer fun like Little Rock or Kansas City.

Of course hard core sociopaths don’t feel guilty about lying, 

How do you write a song by a committee? I mean I can understand two or even three but 17! They’re not writing legislation. I mean a lot of pop stars don’t write their own songs so I could care less, but just the mechanics of that is confusing. 

Because dumping your wife for a younger, hotter one makes you a man’s man. 

Actually Ryan has been leading in most of the polls. 

My parents got divorced when I was 9. They should have gotten a divorce, they really had little in common. It was also deeply traumatic for me.  No kid wants to go through it. 

If your spouse is violence, then yes, GTFO right away. It’s better for you, better for the kids. And J.D. Vance is an asshole. But divorce as a whole is bad. It’s traumatic for children. If you have kids (and there is no violence or abuse involved), try to work it out. If you can’t, well then divorce it is. But don’t…

As fucked up as things might seem, our modern world would in many ways seem a utopia to a time traveler from 1800.  

There are 435 members of the House of Representatives and we spend an inordinate amount of time talking about two of the most intellectually and morally bankrupt ones.

As the author says, yes oil companies are greedy, but it’s not like they only got greedy in the last year. They want to make a profit, but supply and demand limits how badly they can gouge us. 

Race is a total social construct. What we define as masculine and feminine roles is in large part social constructed. But gender is still a biological reality. If you’d rather be IDed as a gender that you weren’t born into, that’s fine. Still doesn’t change the fact that gender is real.

My experiences with Australians have always been pretty good. They can get boisterous but anytime I stayed in a hostel with them they are super friendly. 

When I traveled in Europe in my 20s by far the most obnoxious tourists were the British. I remember being in Madrid, which has a pretty chill and relaxed night life scene only to have the peace disrupted by loud and drunk Brits screaming in the streets.  Mind you these were young folks. 

The best way to win a fight is to not get into the one in the first place. There was a self-defense instructor at my gym who once told that most fights are avoidable and you should always try to get out of one. You could get hurt. Or killed. The other guy could get hurt. Or killed. You could end up in jail. Or the…

Yeah don’t fuck around when it comes to doing a structural inspection. If there is even the slightest issue get an actual structural engineer in there to do a full report. The seller needs to commit in writing to doing whatever it takes to fix the problem before you buy the house. Be pushy about it, because it will…

Soviet-era housing was pretty sweet. 

The really scary thing about all this is that normal school board members are are fed up with having their lives threatened by lunatics and will likely not run again, while all those raving lunatics will gladly take their place.

I too had access to porn and video games as a kid but I will admit that a PS5 and unlimited free online library of every sort of adult entertainment on the Earth is probably much more addictive than Super Mario Brothers and an old copy of Hustler picked out of the trash.
