    The best thing about a relationship with her is that you know she's not pinning for her ex.

    Thank you. We've all dealt with the horror in our own way. Mine is to shut down. I didn't look at the news for over a month. Just too horrible to consider. And then I got fired -- no fvcking idea why -- and its been an awful couple of months. But this place is my home away from home...

    As somebody who got laid off a year ago, it sucks. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

    Glad to see you here though.

    I have not watched a single minute of news since that night. NOT ONE. I figured if something is important, I'll find out here or on X.

    EDIT: That said, I am probably still more informed than 90% of Americans.

    EDIT Pt II: That's is NOT a flex...

    Good luck with the job search.

    A lot has been written in the last decade about the replacement of personal connections with social media and maybe it isn't the same thing. But it's not nothing - especially in a forum like this - and I just want to say you are valued here.

    I cut the cable about two weeks ago and it ended my access to BBC News which was my main television news source. The silver lining is that I've found Al Jazeera English which has the bonus of having practically no US news.

    About time. They had those articles written several days ago. Would have been a shame to let them go to waste.

    My wife showed me a TikTok of someone saying similar.

    If we can redirect school shooter anger to medical insurance CEOs and copycats that will be a net positive

    It really may be where all this is headed. Trumpism is the accidental result of decades of Republican party means, and now Trumpism has created a red-pilled army that only cares about what the world didn't give them. But when Trump talks about the "elites" you don't know what the people listening are actually hearing.

    It's hard to know where this will end. They were trying to ride a horse named Fear and Anger because they knew it would take them far, but you don't know where it's going to take you.

    Miller had one of the tech bros on his podcast and he actually said this. Basically the elites are like University professors and public servants according to the tech disruptors. i recall the same thing happened in the UK, where having been in government for 14 years, the classic dom and co claimed the country was actually controlled by woke elites of professors and civil servants and other assorted liberals

    Sarah Longwell had a great focus group on this.

    One woman claimed woke-ism was when she had to have a mix race couple 'rammed down her throat' when watching survivor :ROFLMAO:
