If by economy you mean some of us are needed to mop up hydraulic ass-juices at gunpoint I suppose you're technically correct. At least they have to feed us, right?

..right?

I've been on the outside observing this escalating shit show for 8 years now and I think I've finally reached the point where I don't even have the words to convey what I feel about the current state of American politics.

I mean, I know there's a lot of history behind it etc., but just the past months? I don't even..

I hope shit gets better for ya'll, I sincerely do.

Him being a pretty smart guy overall surely has at least some sort of continuity planned.

Interesting way to write dumb shit. Almost like you're russian, or something.

I was a decently rated chess player (nationally) in my youth and I have level 5 aphantasia i.e. I see nothing at all.

While I absolutely cannot play or picture game states without a physical board in front of me like most pros can, I had no great difficulty otherwise.

I practiced with a friend at the same general skill level that was very good at playing sans voir, which incidentally is how I realized I don't have the same mental imagery as him. This was ~25 years ago, and I didn't run into the word aphantasia until around 2020.

I would have, but I didn't remember it offhand and didn't have time to check. She deserved far better than she got though, that's for sure.

Too late, as the one who broke the story got murdered years ago. She's not talked about nearly enough.

He makes his living by fucking with people he doesn't like and he certainly got off easy compared to the damage he's caused.

The man is a swedish speaking Finn originally, it kinda comes with the territory. We might technically be a minority but we're still as Finnish as the rest of them (to a certain degree at least).

lol what? It's a fairly common name in all the Nordic countries at the very least, and fairly sure in Britain as well. The post is obviously American, but that name is not an uncommon one.

Anecdotally I know of at least three, two adults and one just starting school.

Better conversations, and less echo chambers in general. I know exactly who'll disagree with that notion too, but that has been my experience.

The right-wingers that did come over are obviously butthurt to hell since they can't abuse the report function and get backed by obviously biased mods like they do on Reddit. It's easier to simply ignore them here, as well, even though they're around as always.

Hell, half the comments in this very thread seem to be bitching about "Marxism" like it's something that anyone gives half a shit about in today's world. They need their bubble, and they seem to be angry they didn't get this one, too.

Also people are generally more tech-savvy here than there, for obvious reasons. That's a plus.

Covid with a side order of severe pancreatitis.

Almost checked out permanently just in time for Christmas.
