When I first went to a mental health urgent care, they called me an ambulance because I had a seizure the previous day. I begged them to just let me drive, but they wouldn't let me because I was in their care at the time. Now I get daily phone calls telling me to pay up

Macklemore has always meant well. I remember when he won the Grammy for best rap album, he was apologizing because he knew he only got it because he was white. Kendrick Lamar was the very obvious choice. His music is pretty hit or miss, but he seems like an alright dude

They were major assholes to everybody here and used the disengage rule try to get away with it. Of course people are talking about it now, it's not against the rules now

Not so. People aren't really arguing about the smoke point of oil, what they're debating is the effect of the oil reaching smoke point. Many oils when they reach smoke point start degrading and putting out carcinogens. This is not the case with olive oil, as olive oil is extraordinarily stable as far as oils go. CW:Meat J Kenji Lopez-Alt has an article about this.

I. NO INVESTIGATION, NO RIGHT TO SPEAK

Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn't that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?

As someone whose gotten there on accident before, I can tell you that it's eerily similar to nitrous and a giant hit of DMT. You get hit with this bodily wave of dissociation from not breathing and the tryptamine euphoria. You get what feels like hours to come to terms with the fact that you're dying. I'd say this takes away from existential dread. Something in this universe was kind enough to give us a transition between life and death, a time where we can settle our entire lives in our heads before we die.

Guy's talking about Atlanta, people there are just different. Non-Atlanta people fucking HATE eating in Atlanta. Keith Lee's recent reviews are a great example of this. People there want to feel like celebrities, even the Harold's chicken in Atlanta looks like an expensive club.

I actually quite like Hunger Games as well. But God were the copies so bad. Divergent will always be one of the shittiest things I ever got tricked into reading.

Shit's making me ready to kill myself tomorrow. No, Youtube adblock doesn't matter, most of my Youtube consumption happens on the TV app with my remote. This isn't about personally losing my bread and circuses, this is about how the best social medium we currently have is Youtube other such mediums like TikTok (don't even use it, but recognize it as extraordinarily important and innovative). But every way the ruling class forces us to change our lifestyle based on their ads borders on life ruining. Because it's not about the actual bread or the circuses, it's about elevating the bread and circuses, making them bigger and thinner than ever so we feel more satisfied but more starved.

A german-nazi division is a weird way to say SS. Like the literal worst people.

Vietnam just wants everybody to grill for god sake.

They're also just too based to hate. They're the country that mobilized against Pol Pot even when China and the USA were backing Pot. I was taught in school that the Vietnam War was widely people defending their homes. It's hard to teach the history of Ho Chi Minh without making him sound like an absolute badass

Vietnam has always played the US for foreign aid, Ho Chi Minh started the tradition before US invasion. Doing it under a bust of him is fitting. Vietnam doesn't love China for good reasons, but I think they're too dedicated to socialism to be swayed into siding with the US over China. They wouldn't even pick sides between China and Russia.
