We know that the drills serve often as power demonstration and psychological grey zone warfare. This doesn't mean we shouldn't condemn the CCP for it to the maximum. If one day one of these maneuvers goes wrong - it could lead in the heat of events to a war. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/18/a...

I've never been someone who's like...I need to see big numbers in my bank account, or I need a high-paying career. So something I am surprised by now that I'm a sahm is how sad I feel watching my personal bank account dwindle. Like all the years I worked and...that's all that's left?

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

Ok but this is maybe kind of a Minnesota thing, I think. Sometimes we talk a bit...indirectly? Check out the "How to Talk Minnesotan" video if you want to understand how we talk. An oldie but a goodie. 😂

Pisses me off that we’re stardust with the gift of conscious existence and having to spend our time on all this bullshit.

Turns out all it took for some of my relatives to feel justified in subtly insulting me publicly (on social media) was me criticizing Trump's actions. Which proves to me, beyond doubt, that it's a cultish following. Throwing away basic decency in defense of this man. It's a spiritual sickness.

There is another”big, beautiful ocean as separation” on the other coast as well. This must sound like music to Xi’s ears.

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

Relative: "There's so much waste in government! It's disgusting!" Me: "Trump has spent over ten million dollars of taxpayer money and 9 out of his first 30 days in office GOLFING." Relative: "I'm glad he's taking breaks, he's working so hard!" It's truly just idol worship at this point.

That Ukraine wasn't even invited to the negotiating table tells you all you need to know about how Trump will deal with Taiwan.

American #flour bags were once used by the resourceful #Taiwanese to make underwear and attire for kids. At one point, flour bags were even used to clothe inmates. The proliferation of such cotton bags across #Taiwan during the 1950-60s was due to US #aid. wordsfromtaiwan.medium.com/from-the-arc...

I only drink coffee at night now because I can't have it during the day with my adhd meds, but I love it too much to give it up completely.

I always heard neurodivergent people talk about using nose-canceling headphones. I've really been leaning into using mine since being diagnosed with ADHD, and wow. Absolute game-changer. Between that and being on meds that are working, I am so much better at tasks that require a lot of focus.

I love Costco. Except for how crowded it always is. But the cheese prices there are much better than elsewhere and that alone has earned them my loyalty lol

Ok but genuinely, as much as it's tempting if/when people change their minds to say "WE TOLD YOU, now you have to suffer the consequences of what you did" (because WOW the arrogance and selfishness I've seen...) We actually do want as many people on the side of decency as possible, especially now.
