ObamaSama [he/him]

I thought this had to be a bit but clicked through the sources and it seems it’s actually real? Can’t believe the world has already gotten to the point where people get swatted by hallucinating AI. The oppressive cyberpunk surveillance state is here and boy is it dogshit

Synthesis: simply lie down with your short partner and scoot down the bed a little so she feels really tall. Also, hug often on stairs (escalators especially)

There was a period in my life where I would go for weeks without uttering a single word, needless to say it didn’t have a great effect on my mental health. I’m quite an introverted person that enjoys solitude but being trapped in a solipsistic daydream was a VERY bad time

I got my gf to try Victoria 3 and now she’s totally hooked. I think I may have found the one pals

Impersonating feds to hand out theory (in gmod rp servers ofc) would be insanely based

Well originally all the TCJA cuts were set to expire at the end of this year, I imagine in their hubris they never expected trump to win again and extend them indefinitely. Biden was more than happy to reap the benefits while he was in office while not having to piss off the rich by making a show of ending it early. He could cope and say that it’s only for a few more years and the dang parliamentarian would make it too hard to repeal anyway. It’s a classic example of them letting republicans take the heat for things they also want and then setting them up for some super progressive tax policy like 21% corporate tax rates when it’s their turn to hold the bag. I do genuinely think they never expected to lose a presidential election again after trump 1 so the plan was to just let it run its course instead of, you know, actually doing anything while in office

Obama was so incompetent he let eight 9/11s happen under his presidency

I hate how they feel so untouchable and act with complete disregard for any kind of humanity. And I hate even more how the “civilized world” continues to prove them right

Did he feel a stronger sense of connection to his immediate community and nation as whole in Soviet times? I mean that a bit more broadly than actual personal relationships as those tend to ebb and flow as you age, just curious if there was any real “camaraderie” between relative strangers

I’m looking for some good history podcasts that don’t just regurgitate NATOpedia talking points, any suggestions? Lions led by donkeys, Revolutions, and Blowback are some bangers I quite enjoy but I always need more sloppa

Yes, the burger is the exquisite crown jewel, holy manna sent from god as a symbol of the achievements of white “civilization”. Truly makes all the hundreds of years of genocide and unspeakable atrocities worth it.

But seriously how can you try to gatekeep a fucking burger when it’s one of the most ubiquitous types of slop readily available all around the world?

Was briefly on YouTube while here in Prague and all of the recommended videos were some variation of “China bad” with the obligatory grumpy white guy in the thumbnail. A fun bonus was one titled “the satisfying downfall of just stop oil” with a clearly ai generated picture of the “tumblr hair woman” stereotype the right is still fixated on. Just makes me so depressed to see that the brainrot transcends all borders and is pushed to the top of the algorithm everywhere

Don’t let the intellectual masturbation goblin get in your head too much, comments like this are why I love it here

Huh I’m going to Vatican City on Saturday, have a chance to do something incredibly funny

Happy May Day to all! There was an awesome march here in Vienna with hundreds of people flying the hammer and sickle, banners of famous communist leaders, Palestine flags, and all sorts of lovely LBGT+ flags

Can’t fully make it out but does the billboard say 사회주의만세? Pretty fucking based tbqh

Japan is still Wakanda for white people but I think the sustained ridicule of weebs over the past decade or two has contributed to a sharp decline in Ken-Sama types. That and the huge boost in tourism in the past few years have made it much less of a mysterious, “exotic” place, a lot more people have firsthand experience that it’s a normal country with normal people like any other.

Three of my buddies there are saying it’s a complete nothing burger as far as affecting everyday life, “martial law” here does not mean the military shutting anything down. Just some internal power struggles that somehow scapegoat the DPRK?

I’ve met some really good people through dating apps but it really is a numbers game. I’d say that on average out of 100 matches I only have 4-5 conversations that last longer than a few days before one of loses interest and stops replying. It can be pretty disheartening to churn through so many people but from my experience it pays to be picky. I’ve only ever been on 5 dates through dating apps but they all turned into relationships because I didn’t waste my time with anyone I didn’t feel a mutual connection with.

Stick with it and eventually you’ll find someone, just gotta be patient. Also it depends on where you are but I’ve found bumble to be the best as the girls on there are usually much more serious

going back to clear some starter quests after you hit endgame and get bored
