“People may be thinking about it but they sure as hell don’t know shit about it. They’re usually just fantasizing about the opening scene from Gladiator.” Is the exact text message I sent my gf two weeks ago.
I very genuinely loathe this kind of posting; especially people claiming war, pestilence, and disease as a sign of the end times. There has always been war, pestilence, and disease. We are not special in our time on earth. The state of the earth has always been worth crying for.
“And the first [angel] went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.” - Revelation 16:2

I am a student at Drexel and I am appalled at you putting

on administrative leave and caving to a right wing propaganda campaign. If you cannot protect my professors, how can I trust you to protect me?

Crab I understand but Maine lobster harvests have been pretty robust and it’s arguably the most sustainable fishery in the US if not the world.
In Gmork's absence, LEARN TO WELD, BUY A 90'S SHITBOX, FIX A LAWNMOWER, GROW SOME TOMATOES, TALK TO YOUR NEIGHBOR, CALL YOUR PARENTS, READ A BOOK, TAKE THE CARB OUT OF YOUR CAR FOR FUN, JUST DO ANYTHING THAT URBAN UPPER CRUSTS WOULD HATE YOU FOR.

We used to be a state. We used to be hardy, born by the sea and hardened by the snow. Now it rains and we are soft. The rain has melted our resolve and each winter. We grow weaker and weaker.

Basader makes briefcases with an added loop so the shoulder strap can be used as a backpack strap. I’ve had one for almost a decade and it’s held up (pic is from their site.)
@GmorkOfNothing
Same vibes when people complain about unionized or made in America being expensive or classist or some shit. Just say you want cheap goods and don't care how you get them.

I think a lot of training a better material analysis was to stop moralizing in general. Figuring out, materially, why X or Y is good rather than that good just being a moral inherent was a huge part of my growth.
My brother and I bought my mom’s house, our childhood home, today. Never again will she pay the mortgage but she’ll always have a roof over her head. 35 will endure for another generation and hopefully well beyond.
@LibertyAnders
It’s hysterical how you literally say “On Twitter everyone is either 0 or 100” about this and there’s immediately like 5 replies proving your point exactly.
My gf and I spent Sunday watching Vintage Baseball in Newburyport that used 1864 baseball rules, which meant no gloves and a single umpire with a top hat and tuxedo. The Portsmouth Rockinghams beat the Newburyport Clamdiggers 19-18. It was cloudy and raw out but so much fun.
@AskYatharth
I talk to my neighbors, we organize block clean ups, have block parties, gossip on our porches, frequent the bar around the corner every week, feed each other leftovers. The same shit I did when ai lived in the burbs. And for the not neighbors we just make plans.
I think anyone concerned with our society's appreciation for awe and wonder should just ride the Red Line in Boston as it goes over the Charles. Every head goes up from a prayer-like bow over their devices to gape and gaze at the passing skyline with symphony-like cohesion.

It is perceived in New England as an act reserved for the wealthy. My grandmother, a society lady, sent out cards announcing my parents’ wedding.
It’s been four days. What stalemate are you talking about? It took the Nazi’s a month to capitulate Poland and you think after a four day assault and already pressing the capitol, a day of not as much movement is a stalemate?
i wish i had a non technical explanation for how badly the russian invasion of Ukraine is going for them, first 12-18 hours of incredible advance, only to slow to near stalemate with brutal strategic losses across the board, meanwhile Ukraine has reestablished command and control

Hate growing up broke, paying my way through college, entering the PMC, then realizing how it's a vapid skilless landscape of spreadsheets and management.
@GmorkOfNothing
And the left's disdain, correctly in my opinion, for calling the cops on petty crime makes it doubly worse because the left's rejection of personal responsibility, the adequate to response isn't "do anything about it", it's to "let it rot."
@GmorkOfNothing
Left anarchists are as strong and resilient as overcooked spaghetti. They’ll say that working out is body fascism and having scheduled meeting times is actually fascism before dissolving over a “is homework also fascism” issue.
While I agree, it’s also a skill issue. Part of being a man is nutting up and dealing with it. If you don’t have a community or support group, go fuckin make one. This idea that you *accept * being worse off instead of just fixing it is shooting yourself in the foot.
I will be the first to admit that men absolutely 100% do NOT do better single. Not even close. Men don't have a tenth of the community support network that women have for this. To argue the opposite is a bold faced lie
@sympatheticopp
It comes very naturally when your parents had pots of stock and soup on the stove all the time, making tea to steep in the sun in the summer, and picked the green beans off the vines for dinner. My dad taught me technique, but my mother taught me how to make a home with food.

@vampiric_shirin
It’s not that I can’t understand what you’re saying, but your wording just sounds kinda inorganic. Like fervent is not a word or academic term that’s necessary to get your point across, you are on Twitter you’re not a 19th century Englishman
