Republicans and ratfucking peace talks during an inhumane war of territorial expansion to make their political opponent look bad. Name a more iconic duo.

The double standard of topless & male-presenting being ok but topless & female-presenting not being okay is confusing and pointless. The rule won't force anyone to go topless if they'd prefer not to. It just levels the playing field for everyone.

I've seen men with much bigger boobs than women proudly display them at every beach, lake and festival I've ever been to. Why is that ok but not ok for women? Nobody can give me a good answer that's not tied into some patriarchal, thought-terminating religious BS. Everyone should have the option to go topless, irrespective of chosen gender.

I had a friend tell me a few days ago that they get up an hour and a half before they're supposed to work to relax and read or shower or whatever. I can't even picture that. I get up 30m before work and rush through coffee+oatmeal because if I slow down and think about how I have to work today it'll make me depressed.

It's better to catch me unawares so I don't have time to ruminate before I'm expected to work. Then before I know it I'll be working and too busy to think about how I'd rather be floating on a cloud while beautiful people feed me grapes off the vine.

They are all around here. The US will never get rid of them as we've got a big corporation that keeps lobbying for pennies to keep being made. That company by the way is the company that makes the blanks for pennies. So they'll stick around forever, since the lobbying effort is cheaper then coming up with a new business plan that doesn't involve survival on the governments dime(or penny as it were).

I stopped picking up pennies. It's no longer worth the time or effort to get them.

He functions as a pretty decent microcosm of the Trump era of politics. Hardly a true fact to be found about him. His background, his life, even his name is a cipher. A creature of manifest contradictions. A bullshitter par excellence. I don't know if I'll miss him exactly, but I was briefly entertained by his juvenile antics. Enjoy prison, George, or whatever your actual name is.

Come to think of it, so do I!

Our man Everett lived before reliable, pharmaceutical grade antipsychotic medication. Instead, he should get himself into a dime bag of weed and just laugh at the clowns posing on the beach. Physically abusing a poser won't make them stop - laughing at them would.

The colors that appear in the sky during a sunset. Beautiful blues, purples and oranges, slowly dimming until it disappears over the horizon.

I had wondered why housing construction is such a messed up process, considering the high demand these days for new, affordable housing. This article explains a lot. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to buy a new home and a bit of land for 10k?

It's a damn shame that all these old comedians can't keep taking potshots at their favorite targets anymore. Whatever will they do?

I believe also that the predominating thought in this war among the generals that plan it is that a shake up to the current status quo was needed. Invading Russia gives Ukraine a bit of leverage, plus it draws away RU troops from the front line so that Ukraine may be able to retake a bit of ground.

Grand Poobah Pooty Putin can only say so many times that he's moving nukes to ready status or whatever until it becomes clear he's not going to use them. Nuking anybody, especially Ukraine, would be a tacit admission to the world that he's losing this war. If he did, NATO would likely get involved presumably because they would consider the fallout drifting over Europe to be an act of war, but a casus belli is a casus belli.

So yeah, I can see NATO countries being ok with a strike inside of Russia now. Makes total sense to me. I'm just surprised it took this long to get there.
