Theocrats are rarely true believers. We’re headed towards the mammonite theocracy

Because they don’t want the freedom to say what they want, they want to force everyone to listen. Lemmy is terrible for that as we’ll defederate them real fast. I forget who they were but I chose my instance over willingness to defederate from a bigot instance and if I have to I’ll change instances over it

Greening out is something else entirely. Its Marijuana induced nausea
- Comment on Anon tries stand-up comedy 2 days ago:
I did it, I loved it, I got busy and writing jokes is hard and I have other hobbies. At some point it would be nice to go back and embarrass myself on stage again, but if not I’ll always be proud I did the thing I’d wanted to do as a teenager.
- Comment on Anon tries stand-up comedy 2 days ago:
As someone who’s done stand up, people picture it as feeling cool and funny, but it’s an exercise in public humiliation. Eventually you might get those laughs, and there’s nothing like it when you do, but you’ve embarrassed yourself on stage so many times to get to that point, and at any point due to anything from the crowd that night to how you’re feeling you might wind up back there.

Idk “what are your hobbies” sometimes means “what do you do after work” and sometimes it means “what do you love to do when you can scrape together the time, money, and energy?”

That’s the thing about addicts. They’re still people. Some get into a bad situation and know better than to fuck up the few good opportunities they’ll get. Many will fuck themselves over for easy and quick gains. The latter group is why my wife would kill me if I hired an addict prostitute to clean our home.

Well yes, but Minnesota is quite Danish.

I’m pretty sure we’re both. I don’t see another explanation for our current firearm situation
- Comment on Trømp 4 days ago:
Yes, we absolutely must insist
- Comment on Trømp 4 days ago:
Why? Just because it’s Danish without any of the swedes or Norwegens you have to deal with in Minnesota?

Everyone loses to Vietnam and Afghanistan though. They’re both famously good at home turf guerilla warfare

In order to understand American military doctrine you need to understand a few things. First we’re an engineering power masquerading as a military and cultural one. Second we had three major advantages in the world wars: we came in late to both, our civilians and manufacturing capacity were on the other side of the world, and we had more experience with an industrial war than anyone else thanks to our civil war. And third, we know we’re insane and so does everyone else, sometimes that means we surprise Hitler, other times it means we accidentally shell Mexico.
And yeah the guy who shelled Mexico? L. Ron Hubbard, founder of scientology back when he was in the navy.
I’m not even a little surprised Danes had to stop ourselves from shooting our own helicopters.

That would actually solve several of my problems and I wouldn’t even have to learn a new language

Where i am every microbrewery has an ipa, and most have a stout, but from there you get all sorts. Rhinegeist famously does whatever they feel like, which makes them a nice safe bet. I love an Oktoberfest and I’m never hurting for choices in the fall. I also love me an American ale and we’ve got one brewery that’s got one that’s gained a fair bit of popularity for good reason.

I dislike the term hipster in large part because it’s a cultural movement that’s nearly a decade dead. It was people being kinda annoying about the realization that small scale products and culture tended to be better value propositions than mass produced versions. In 2025 everyone knows that. We all know that some no name restaurant in town is likely better than Applebee’s for example. Every gamer knows that a good indie game will likely give you more fun for your money than a aaa game (though the aaa one is more consistently likely to not be terrible).
Calling someone a hipster in 2025 is like calling someone a hippie peacenik for opposing the Iraq war

Steel tariffs did hurt the craft beer industry actually

Yeah for anyone interested in trying the more flavor focused hard liquors (I’m a bourbon and scotch lady myself) I recommend starting with just a few drops. The ethanol can overpower everything else until you learn to taste through it, and try to taste for the flavors mentioned. In whiskey you can often taste not sweetness but the reminisce of sweetness and a mild vanilla like flavor, these are from the corn heavy mash and the oak barreling respectively. Scotch should have a flavor reminiscent of a campfire, that’s the peat.
- Comment on Vibes based cooking 6 days ago:
You learn to associate the flavor with the drug and from there you start to appreciate the intricacies of the flavor. A good bourbon is sweet in the same way bakers chocolate is with a vanillin and other flavors picked up from the wood. Meanwhile a light wheat beer is almost like a bitter bread. Wine is like grape juice but with a lot less sweetness and more depth. And if you really want to get drunk without dealing with bitterness or wine flavors you can always go to mead, which tastes like the honey it once was

Thanks, I’m a leather woman so whenever I see these guys going on and on about masculine energy my mind initially goes to leather men. Because the reality is these guys don’t want masculinity for its own sake, that’s leather men, or whatever nick Offerman is doing or wherever else you see people who are masculine because they like it. These men see masculinity as a vehicle for power and staving off their fears of aging. They clearly fear that they’re insufficiently masculine and rather than asking themselves what the root cause of that insecurity is and trying to be the person they genuinely want to be (which may very well mean they take testosterone supplements and get into martial arts) they’re just going to act like a 14 year old who thinks that going full silverback will get him laid, respected, and happiness.
I recently finished the fifth book of the stormlight archive and I really respected the way it dealt with toxic vs healthy masculinity and so that’s actually something that’s just been on my mind a lot lately.
So yeah I guess I’m just not impressed by this performative Rogan style masculinity, if you want to show me how manly you are act like someone with a secure and healthy relationship with his masculinity because as a grown ass adult this Zuckerberg bs is fucking sad

Yeah, a tom of Finland character he certainly is not. Like he’s definitely masculine, but more masculine [pejorative] in the vein of a man having a midlife crisis and deciding to get into a sad pantomime of youthful masculinity. He definitely doesn’t seem the type to do hard labor to provide for his loved ones or to spend his evenings in a shed tinkering on his projects. His masculinity is not the presence of the traits our society positively associates with men and masculinity or of those that those who are attracted to masculinity find attractive or endearing, but merely a starker absence of the positive traits associated with femininity or neutrality and an absence of the negative traits of femininity.
