They might appreciate that - an instant indicator that they are different (“better”). Even if it makes it impossible to hide.

The most painful thing we can do to them is take their money and make them live like the rest of us.

In your 40s you become a hobbit. And truly enjoy it.

Snarking not infrequently about the silliness of non-Hobbits who don’t understand safe, simple pleasures.

When I visited Berlin, I heard a theory that these Soviet era units were why the cost of living was still accessible to creative-types so a big part of why the city is culturally thriving.

Why not both?

Because we can still stop tomorrow’s deaths in Gaza, technically.

The perpetrators are still effectively the same people who committed the crime.

The terrorists of 50 yo are likely already dead, the entire topology of their cause changed. It is pointless.

I mean, how many civilians are the IDF shooting in Gaza per day now? Especially with their new execution law?

Why are we supposed to get worked up about 26 deaths over 50 years ago given that context?

Finally, a third worst option.

Star Wars guy might tell you to fuck off, give bad info over confidently, or expect something in return for their help

But God Emperor guy will lead you to a dark alley to shank you to protect the future gene pool from your weakness, and feel good about it.

Not all sandwiches are subs. There are plenty of other sandwiches, like those weird cucumber sandwiches, you can put your mayo on.

I’m part of a mutual aid group that delivers groceries to people every 2 weeks.

We sometimes get urgent requests on off-dates.

I don’t think I can explain how satisfying(?), motivating(?) it was to randomly get off work one evening last week with instructions to buy $50 worth of groceries for someone I’d never met and to drop it off.

To be part of someone finding relief in a terrible situation.

The hardest part was honestly finding a group with flexible opportunities that I could contribute to regularly. Most organizations that ask for volunteers often want business-hour availability, and 6+ mo commitment - ie, good for retirees.

He’s not interested in a 9yo wife.

That is someone he’d have to pay to take care of.

And worse - she would grow up…

His joy is in treating people, including young children, like toilet paper.

Disposable.

Use them, get off on their tears and pain, confusion and begging, then throw them away.

This meme doesn’t understand how rapists like our POTUS work. And people need to understand.

His whole personality is about exploiting everyone he can and getting off on it. As much as possible.

You probably uninstalled it before the algo figured out what really hits your engagement, which is the point at which it becomes addictive.

Do you understand aggregate descriptors? That it is quite typical and appropriate to talk about groups based on their average or median value, even if it is acknowledged that there is a proportion of exceptions?

As someone who only speaks English, the cognitive map made by that language is kind of disgusted to think of toes and fingers interchangably.

Fingers are (or should be) clean, and are allowed to touch many things. I am perfectly comfortable touching many things with my fingers that other people’s fingers have touched.

But toes? Toes are gross. They are not interchangeable with fingers. Unless I’m in the shower cleaning my toes, if my fingers touch my toes I probably need to wash my hands after. And other people’s toes?..

No - toes and fingers are not the same thing. My toes are great, I’m glad to have them for balance while walking or running. But they are not fingers, or vis versa

That is why they are trying to ban the facts you just shared.

Nothing but pro-White Nationalism propaganda allowed

Startups typically have to offer both higher pay and a lot of shares.

It’s basically the same thing that scammers do - they know they have a terrible approach, but that’s fine because they are only looking for the easy marks who are too oblivious to sense anything is wrong.

This CEO is preventing anyone with self preservation or a sense of actual industry norms from applying, increasing the proportion of aps from the gullible.

The horror of parasocial distance collapse

The simplist answer is that this guy could buy some high-coverage foundation and a make-up sponge. He could change his appearance in other ways too if he likes - get a wig, fake nose, etc.

Most people that oppose Trump also follow an ethical code that abohrs violence.

The talking points among people I know here include constantly referencing a study that indicates non-violent opposition is more frequently effective than violent opposition. I suspect that study is a little simplistic, but may have its point.

The problem is, a lot of liberals think that showing up for a 14 June style protest (with permits and police escort) is the full extent of ‘non-violent’ resistance.

It’s taking them a minute to catch on that more, much more, will be needed.

The next step has to be introducing other non-violent tactics - ones that are far less pleasant than bringing a sign to a giant street party on a Saturday afternoon.

Tactics that might involve being arrested (despite not attacking anyone), losing income or your job (work strike), or ending up in a detention facility.

No one wants to do this. This is like getting a cancer diagnosis and not wanting chemo, not wanting to count your expected remaining life in months instead of decades.

Most people will do what most people do - ‘see how it goes’. Until they can’t anymore.

This is the denial and bargaining stage of a fascism diagnosis.

This matches every account I’ve heard from friends in Seattle that have worked for the HQ.
