We all change as we age, or at least we should to some degree. I've been very lucky to discover that some of my dearest long-term friends have also moved toward full-blown communist ideologies, but also have some friends who grew up rich who've moved more right as they've aged and money has isolated them from the working class. If you don't feel like you can be who you are around them, they aren't your friend. If you two simply disagree on things, then at least you could try having more spirited conversations to get them to see your point of view...

When the Supreme Court ruled a president could do anything so long as it was done "as part of a president's official duties", including literal assassination, it was clear the fascists knew the Dems were toothless.

It's a bummer the principal turned out to be a pedophile and Matthew Broderick killed two women by driving on the wrong side of the road. Still a great movie tho.

It's either "thank you for your attention to this matter" or "PEACE!". No in-between

So funny that he's yelling at the guy who won the election that he's out of touch with voters. Democratic Party in a nutshell.

I can agree that "TERROR IS BACK!" as Chris Cuomo said, but it's not from Iran or Muslims.

Literal "do you know who my dad is?" energy

Yeah I think it's weird to just ask for "books" in general lol Like imagine any kid just asking for "video games" like they don't care whether it's Tetris or CoD

Asking for "books" in general for Christmas as an 11 year old? Yeah, this dude has been a turbo-nerd his whole life. And I say that as a former Asian kid who got books for Christmas as an 11-year-old.

There's something incredibly funny about the way these LLMs are programmed to tell you that you're wrong in the most polite way possible.

You warned me and it still hurt.
