Every time I think about it, I cannot fucking get over how fast the “progressives” went from #MeToo to “If you don’t allow an ‘unhoused’ berserker to assault you and your kids with impunity in public in the way they prefer, you’re MAGA!”
I mean, damn. What in the hell? Isn’t that just astounding?
We have done this and it’s mostly complete now. I’ve spent roughly $4,000 on computers, related gear and other crap in the last few weeks because it’s all about to get vastly more expensive. And if we go to war with China, it’ll become unavailable altogether. Tariffs and possible world-altering conflict are on the way. Now is the time to prepare, because later I’ll be saying “I told you so.”

What’s the smartest thing you’ve ever done?

TIFU by calling my girlfriend’s music taste ”basic.”
Playing music out loud in a pricy restaurant on a phone is a huge red flag. It’s good she kicked him to the curb — for his sake.
That said, never insult anyone’s taste in music. It can only go wrong…and just, why? It’s pointless. Everyone has to start somewhere. And not everyone is going to be the kind of listener you are or care about music at all. I’ve known several people who just didn’t listen to music at all. Any kind. Ever.
Hell, all y’all can see how broad my tastes are and because I don’t listen to full albums “true” music aficionados have called me basic and unrefined in the past.
Referring to anything by Taylor Swift as “underground,” though, is pure crazy. That part made me laugh.
Indeed, it does work well. I am the same. People do tend to find this rare personality type extremely confusing. (And no, I am not just guessing; a Big 5 personality assessment showed this as my type extremely clearly.)
Basically, I am an ornery, disagreeable fucker who will try just about anything to see if I like it and go just about anywhere.
