Sorry, I'm not going to participate if you're going to be abusive.

Then why are you trying so hard to explain yourself?

This is precisely the circlejerking mentioned in the meme. Whether true or not, the community presents itself as unwelcoming and self-aggrandizing. These are not traits that easily convince people to listen to the cause.

I just miss my corny dogs

Let's tear them down anyway

I would trade every American gas station and convenience store for a single authentic Japanese 7-eleven corndog.

The best Indian food I had was at a place in St Petersburg Florida on the first floor of an otherwise empty office building. We could smell the curry from the parking lot while still inside the car

Everything in their world is transactional

I grew up in a pretty conservative household and we were literally raised that life is work and work is hell. By way of the transitive property, life = hell. It's taken a long time through various degrees of depression and I'm still not fully grown out of it.

But yes, the entire culture and identity is about being miserable and persevering through it, even if that means making yourself and everyone around you more miserable to justify the perseverance.

Like the saying "nothing good comes free." You could say the sunrise is free, but they'll argue it's not because you have to wake up early and waking up early is by necessity miserable so that the sunrise can be good. They're brainwashed into thinking the only way a good thing happens is through suffering. Except the truly lost ones who only see life as suffering.

Pretty sure Kars would only have sex with his own reflection, if he wasn't a stone cold lady killer

Logan was a masterpiece

On god

In my opinion, the probable burnout isn't worth it. Burnout is like a heat injury, once you get it you become more susceptible to it for a time. I recommend maintaining a healthy work-freetime balance now so you know how to do it in the future.

God, I hope people can rally around Harris. My biggest concern with the sudden change was fracturing across the Dems. I hope it's just a concern

I don't understand, but it speaks to me

6-3 split, but yeah

I waited for a train for the first in years the other day and every third connex was a dark gray Amazon box with the blue smile. It felt surreal and utterly dystopian cyberpunk

Thank you for representing me

I remember being absolutely blown away that you could see planes in the sky
