Scientist. Mostly left liberal. Coffee is awesome

Very serious people understand

*extremely centrist voice* Key to being a Sensible Grown Up is knowing that there are people and then there are "people". The latter we, sadly, have to make Tough Decisions about.

This encounter could've been an email.

Sure they claim talking to an AI customer service rep is not like a real person but I found the small talk bait just as original and annoying as if it was coming from a real person so AI is able to do something humans can do

🤣😂🤣

Sent to me by my brother. Too real.

Right. He is never that coherent

I bet the point is "Tariffs didn't cause the great depression so the ones I'm pitching are fine." Also: no way he wrote that. That's three complete sentences where each flows directly from the one before. The argument is dumb, but coherent. He doesn't do coherent.

Bumper sticker: Jesus Loves You, But I’m His Favorite

It will never not amuse me... "What? That person has adult content?" /Looks at photo "They are doing situps?"

There are deliberately out of context statements as jokes But quips reskeeting now deleted messages provide basically the same service

Pew puts out a study where black people say that they 'believe' in things that are obviously, historically true, well-documented, and still happening today and calls them 'racial conspiracy theories'; are taken aback when people get mad about it

The theme should be Macho Man from the Village People

This is a bar for only the most straight heterosexual men. Cowboys, Construction workers, Cops, Leather Bound Bikers, Firefighters, Wrestlers, and Sailors. No girl stuff. Just sweaty heterosexual men being sweaty & heterosexual & male with each other. No femmes. All He/him. Males for males. M4M.

“Miscellaneous” Can be the entire first line Of any haiku

This is what happens when you let impressionable children read socialists who don't respect landlords like Jonathan Swift. Doesn't seem so modest now, huh?

Everyone needs an editor

I hate when people conflate "Platonic" with "logical" Like have you ever read a translation of The Republic? It is just dudes making evidence-free conjecture
