it’s not 20-30% of them, it’s +20-30 net percentage points which means a majority or at least plurality want it (eg if 60% of ppl support it, 30% are against it, 10% don’t know, then 60% - 30% = +30 pts)

looked up his religious beliefs and it seems he’s an atheist/agnostic who subscribes to christianity solely for the vibes and his western world fetish

Elon Musk announced that he’s a “big believer in the principles of Christianity” and “a cultural Christian”. Musk’s reasons are moral and political – he believes Christianity can boost both happiness and birthrates.

the other day my 70s born dad got pissy when i asked him if movie theaters had color when he was a teenager

people who say that have either never owned a cat or never truly tried to bond with theirs. my cat rubs on me and purrs when i’m crying, guards the bathroom door when i’m taking a shit, and freaks out meowing and scratching on the door like i’m drowning when i shower

she also has full on separation anxiety from me even though my mom’s the one who feeds her and stuff. the first couple weeks i was away for college she got depressed and full on neglected herself, not eating as much and looking mangy because she barely groomed herself. last time she heard my voice over the phone she meowed and searched the house all confused :/

implied that natural gas was a renewable energy source

literally something i’ve only heard from ultraconservative climate denialists

“This debate swayed my vote”

1 in 4 yes

do they just…not know what sway means?

most americans are heavy into the “we do not negotiate with terrorists” fantasy

she’s an immigrant who was raised by muslim refugee parents, definitely about to be fodder for swiss fash who’ll ignore the fact she’s agnostic

i’m expecting to see dozens of social media clips captioned “Kamala served BRAT 💚🥥” and edits of her to charli xcx and other mediocre popstars

phone or work phone that gives email notifications? i feel like that’d be a lot more convenient seeing they could wait 5 minutes vs having to immediately drop whatever they’re doing for a call

they mean draw what ur dick looks like cumming i think. this was in our library bathroom btw

average college male bathroom wall:

he’s definitely not losing in every swing state, most of the polls are super close to margin of error and trump’s gotten several leads. 538 simulates their odds of winning the electoral college:

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2024-election-forecast/

right now they give trump a 44-in-100 chance of winning. that’s basically a coin toss, and it looks like his odds improved a bit in the past week

for comparison, before 2020 election day they gave biden a 89-in-100 chance of winning and in 2016 gave trump a 30-in-100 chance

supporting a ceasefire does not at all mean you’re pro-palestine. most EU countries voted for the UN deal months and months before all while supporting israel. plenty of zionists want a conditional deal where israel’s hostages are returned and palestine’s colonial subjugation and apartheid continue, just not as overtly.

found a poll from this week that 60% of americans support continuing military aid to israel. and you can’t assume the 40% against it are against it on principled grounds, many of them are simply isolationists who don’t want their taxpayer money going to other countries

it’s not just a meme 90% of them actually believe it

i was 13 in 2017 and back then when getting to know each other, we’d ask each other normal things; favorite rapper or artist, favorite sports player, favorite youtuber, etc. ik someone who works with younger teens now and says one half-jokingly asked the group “favorite male model,” and several boys said “chico” and someone went on a bit how his cheekbones, facial harmony, hunter eyes, canthal tilt, whatever are “perfect,” and someone else was arguing his favorite model mogs him.

these kids deadass make/watch tiktok looksmaxxing edits of male supermodels they admire and/or envy. it’s usually partly ironic and they laugh around when they talk about these things but obviously they still seem to buy into it, seems like boys now are insanely more obsessed and conscious about looks than they used to be, often to the point of dysmorphia. their judgements on face features also feel like just straight up racist phrenology

vent: i’ve dealt with severe untreated ADHD (with time blindness as symptom) for years, and while i’m overall much better at punctuality now, it took a couple years of therapy, lifestyle changes, and systems (and more recently meds). i’ve long been well aware this is something i struggle with that ‘normal’ people with an infinitely less chaotic brain simply see as “not caring enough” or “not trying hard enough.” same way i was told growing up, “if it was important to you, you would’ve remembered.” that’s true for them; they only know how their own brains work, they don’t got a clue what it’s like to be flat out incapable of prioritizing their thoughts

i was late often in elementary, like half of middle school, and most mornings of high school. i was never carefree about it; i had racing anxiety from it every time and somehow still constantly did it to myself. my first year at uni i skipped a fuck ton of lectures, even after walking all the way there, solely because i was too embarrassed to walk in late for the 20th time. i isolated myself and rejected invitations largely because i was afraid i’d make people feel i didn’t value their time

ADHD isn’t just some quirky personality thing most NTs think it is. ADHD made me skip meals nearly daily because i either forgot to eat or i’d put off cooking because it was just another painful chore. ADHD made me get 0-5 hours of sleep on a regular basis because my brain would not quiet down until i collapsed

tbh i often wish i could see a neurotypical live with my brain chemistry for a day, i bet they’d have a breakdown alone from the 2-3 inner monologues and nonstop earworm all on top of each other at every waking moment lmao

that’s when they peaked. 2nd biggest economy in the world, even more than the USSR. now theyre like 4th or 5th

subconsciously liberals almost always seem to avoid language that seems too “forceful,” even when it comes to basic human rights. insisting on any means is authoritarian and something the trumpies do

they must vote, pray, and compromise (their dignity). when it doesn’t work out, they blame disillusioned non-voters and go into waiting for the next election, where they’ll proudly choose the oligarchs that promise stagnation over regression every 2 years for the rest of their lives and wonder why everything keeps getting worse

cringing imagining this middle aged ivy elite square drafting this trying to come off as cool and nonchalant

probably wrote a 2 sentence comeback to the lame fact check before realizing it’s just as lame, then realized he didn’t have it in him and tried something simpler despite never using ‘lmao’ before in his life, then asked his intern “not capitalizing this is hip isn’t it?”
