You people always been very logistical and calculating, it's great country for the pedant person.
If you can live without anyone understanding your jokes, & everyone you interact with looks like they had a rough argument with their in-law the day before.

Am I the a****** here or what...?



This lady is a f***ing magician with camera angles. If she taught me her ways, even I (a big hairy dude with a beard) could become an instathot.

Problem isn't body shaming, it's these social media whores (men and women) unhealthy appetite for likes that makes them take 72 shots before being satisfied and then shop the hell out of them before posting on instac***.

How many pages have you been duped into clicking on in those celebrity click-bait ads/articles?

I wanted to see Amy Shumar's new figure. But after 50 pages of random B-list celebrities, I gave up. I felt defeated.

None. I end up googling or binging it if it's something I'm curious about.

Cancer of social media is towards the terminal stage. Putting highly manipulated picture then use emotional blackmail to shut any criticism.

This is every day on social media. The only reason I am on twitter is I have an account to promote my game. You will be living in a 1984 alternative world if you believe 1/2 of what is posts represent the majority of people.
 
I just heard the word "master" & "owner" is racist. Apparently NBA owners now called themselves governers.

So I can't say I own something, I must say I govern something now? Like cat governer...

Apparently you cannot use the word master as again...remain people (who actually) of slavery. YOu cannot use words like a master bedroom, instead, use the main bedroom. SO I guess next change sports with a name like "world masters" to world-main.....

Must be hard living in the US; where every 5th word is racist or offensive & shrinking.

I was talking to a friend in the weekend. I told him, the issue today is people are focusing on issues that triggered the most emotion/outrage, & not necessarily the most critical that deserves more attention. On the flip side, people are NOT focusing on issues that perceived as being sensitive or may cause outrage even when they might be critical.
 
The west is upside down atm, corona made it tip over. Amerika will be the first country to snap, the rest will follow. Perfect opportunity for Russia and Asia to hit when it happens. The hoarding loons with bunkers will prob survive the longest, the young people focusing on things like this will go out while trying to loudly scream about social justice (which have worked for them before) by a bullet to their head. Ironically they will have a big part in the snapping.
 
America, China, and Russia at this point.

Hope Europe, East Asia, Canada, and Australia are ready to take the wheel

Of those parts only east Asia have enough of a mentally stable people and governments to do anything remotely right. The era of the west being a pinnacle of civilization is over, our privileged lives have made us naive and soft (like Hollywood actors but at a lesser level), the pendulum swung to far.

Well, the bar is set pretty fvcking low at this point. Maybe East Asia takes the lead of the "Free and Sane Coalition" alliance. Canada would become the trade bridge between them. Strangely, because of climate change the waters between Canada and Greenland are becoming passable to ships making the Panama Canal unnecessary.

Happy 4th of July fellas. What’s everyone up to this weekend?

I wish I had time to read comics. Always enjoyed them when I jump in for a year or so. I usually end up buying a bunch for cheap and then never get to them. And then usually the couple I'm reading are part of a universe wide event so then I have to pick up all the tie-ins.

That's exactly what I told my friend when he asked about the future of civilization, especially the crazy thing happening in US. I said civilization will still strive, except it will move towards the East in India & China.

I remembered the movie Looper where the younger Protagonist told his older version he wanted to love to Paris. The older self told him, forget Paris, go to Shanghai, this is where the future is.

Get your kids to learn Chinese guys, for your kids probably working for the Chinese.

China? The CCP seems to be a liability even aside from the virus problem. I wondered if it would fall more to Japan and S. Korea while China figures out what to do with its ties to the American economy. China seems like it wants to adapt some of the worst business and cultural qualities of America like abusing eminent domain to push around some of their own people while on a zealous mission to modernize.

As for Europe, is Germany holding up well and taking the leadership role in the E.U.?

CCP obviously an issue, but every day I see the west turning more authoritarian. If you read 1984, you see the parallel of 1984 the book envisioned & what we have today. Revision history, right speech, big brother, thought police, & people reporting others for wrong thoughts.

Germany is okayish. Once in a while, some spike in C.virus, but life is pretty slowly back to normal. Weekend, cities are filled with people. NO ONE literally wears a mask (not saying its a good or bad thing, just observation) outside of the interior.

Somewhat ironically from mentioning Big Brother, but is Germany also putting in measures for contact tracing so that when this leads to a case, they can proactively follow up with that person's recent contacts?

I'm not sure if we're that much more authoritarian, but something in American culture is turning people into zealots and it's getting weird. Probably fueled into being much worse by resentment over lockdown conditions as regular people struggle with crumbs for aid while it looks like financial handouts to the wealthy.
 
One of my favorite gifs is when Michael Scott was driving and was about to say something to Jan, but he bites his tongue and doesn't say it. I've searched and can't find a vid or gif of it. If someone finds it, link a brother.
 
What's the opinion of people here on using someone's obituary/tribute page to mention how the person (who was a physical education teacher in elementary school) physically abused me (held my arms back while some other kid punched me in the stomach) and how he was overly friendly with little girls at the time and would take them to his small office room and lock the door?

I'm quite giddy about learning of his death, since he was one of the persons who sculpted me into the human hating machine I am today.

F that guy for getting his jollies by abusing kids for moments so he could leave everlasting scars on their victims...

I am happy the craziness hasn't reached Germany. The difference is, almost everyone knows media & newspapers are chills for Merkel & co. & not taken seriously.

I think in America, the problem the media & social media. The crazy lunatics are the ones running the show, & pandering politicians bow down to them thinking they represent the majority. They are not solving problem IMO but stocking the flame.

Terry Cruz was attacked online for saying he will work with any good person regardless of race & black people need to focus on other issues that are more critical.
Attacked by people who claimed to be for anti-racism.
 
I stopped upon this random MTV as I looped youtube, & well, just enjoyed.

K-Pop Blackpink.
