@Konakc1 @MattZeitlin the masses deserve to know the truth

@MattZeitlin Can't believe Peter Jackson cut out the part of the books where Saruman turns the Shire into a 15 minute city.

if i may advance a, uhhh, culturalist view of why british people seem more averse to new building than even their anglo settler cousins in australia or the united states...

@LudditeHacker @kitten_beloved @StacheAutonomy Im in that age range and dating is genuinely so difficult if you aren’t in the top third of attractiveness, and that is starting to include women tbh. I know some girls my age who are chronically single cuz guys aren’t showing romantic interest

@kitten_beloved @StacheAutonomy Meeting zoomers who say neither they nor any of their friends have ever had a relationship by 25. (Women that seem reasonably wel adjusted, not male nerds) 30s dating is going to be very strange in 10 years.

If she's actually attractive and not a total bummer to be around then this lady is probably quite a catch, why are so many guys on here so insistently gay about this kind of thing This is plenty young enough to have a couple of kids which is all most people want

@rosy600600 @NumberCrun77 @dystopiangf Living in Miami shifts my perception of attractiveness cuz most people here would be above average somewhere else. As they say here “a Miami 7 would be a 9 anywhere else”

@NumberCrun77 @dystopiangf Can you really blame them? Men are shittier on average than women. Most women are at least a little bit pretty, even if they're fat or old. Half of men look like something a cat vomited up.

Women voluntarily have casual sex with some guy on Hinge, fail to secure a relationship from it, and then fantasize about total male genocide for the rest of their 20s and 30s

@placeholder___3 @twinkdefcon What exactly are you referring to?

@twinkdefcon This is why that one bear power girl self insert web comic was so inflammatory

I really appreciate how anime cons are basically a chud/woke truce zone. It’s some Christmas in Belgium, 1914 shit in there

@AlexChaircheck @Goldxn_Violin Never really thought of this. That’s a cool take

@Goldxn_Violin Dungeons and Dragons has a lot of Americana DNA under its pseudoEuropean skin. It's assumed setting is a western where people do swords instead of guns, but you still have the lawless frontier where civilization is settling the wilderness and getting into conflict with natives.

It's kind of insane how little Americana-inspired fantasy there is out there

@catpoopburglar @farspacehunter @CakeProphet @Azariel91 I’m a zoomer and she looks like older gen z to me

@farspacehunter @CakeProphet @Azariel91 that’s a hard 29 if she’s 29

I cringed HARD the whole time watching this.😬😮‍💨

@TopTira @OmniMain @nocontextmemes I mean saying he was sane is a stretch, he was kinda tweaking lol

@OmniMain @nocontextmemes Why was he suddenly sane when he got out then?

meanwhile europe side plot:

@drewsviewxyz @StatisticUrban The income is just genuinely low when compared to COL. Most business still pay the same as the 2000s when the cost of living was low and they never increased it. Recently the minimum wage was increased a bit but it’s still pathetic when adjusted for inflation

@StatisticUrban Lot of retirees?

Florida has extremely low median incomes when you normalize for cost of living. It's not really surprising to me that its growth is tapering off.

I feel like I have been the same age my entire life, I just become more cynical as I get older

@StatisticUrban @MassJumbo Cost of living rising rapidly here while wages stagnated so it makes sense

Florida's domestic migration figure has collapsed by 93% since 2022. It went from +310,892 people to +22,517 in 2025. On the verge of being outright negative.

getting mentally ready for another two decades of harry potter discourse

@shinswhoreslut @nolongerodette At least you were not last!

@nolongerodette 🧍 lowkey me when I thought that i could just apply for the athletics team didn't need to do any prep training session to get in. there infact was a training round and I was THE SECOND WORSE ATHLETE THERE.

96 years ago today, March 25th, 1930, Dazai was accepted into Tokyo Imperial University. He applied for French literature.. ..despite not knowing any French at all. He thought there wasn't an entrance exam. There was, in fact, a French exam. Photo from that year, he was 20 y/o.

@ph32121991 @Adams_Tech_AI @stats_feed Is being Catholic middle class coded in Brazil?

@Adams_Tech_AI @stats_feed Actually, this is on course to end by the middle of the next decade. The neopentecostal and neocon evangelicals in here continues to rise in big numbers, specially on our favelas where the Catholic church hasn't bothered to go for the past decades.

@mitamajr @souljagoyteller Insane to think about

@souljagoyteller One post I saw that puts it into perspective is that if the first pharaoh rose to power in 1AD, Alexander the Great would still be 600 years to our future, and the Roman conquest of Egypt would happen in 2970 AD

It really boggles the mind how old Ancient Egypt is. By the time of Ramesses II, the Great Pyramids of Giza would’ve been about as old to him as Charlemagne is to us

@NickeIdime @GarrettPetersen It would genuinely solve all of mine lol

@GarrettPetersen Person who thinks being good looking would solve all their problems

Hi, I'm a female anime protagonist. I am a beautiful woman, yet somehow have all the same problems and insecurities as the autistic male mangaka who created me.

@BiTouCan @mofo3057 @DiggingInTheDi1 Where did you move in curious

@mofo3057 @DiggingInTheDi1 My life in the university in 🇧🇷 being an introvert Just playing along until I finished my bachelor degree and prepared my way to move away from this country I miss my parents, but I'm doing way better that before I had to work during my bachelor so it kept my mind active as well

I used to know a highly intelligent Black guy. As in genuinely intelligent, top of his class in grades, eventually became a millionaire in his 20's He hated other Blacks. Loathed them. Had absolutely nothing in common with them. He was a modern day Uncle Ruckus, hating everything popular in Black communities This is often the experience of minorities that are extreme IQ outliers, they can't even deny all the racist comments outsiders make about their co-ethnics

@StatisticUrban As a Floridian, I’m surprised how empty the panhandle is

This is every census block with zero (0) residents. Huge stretches of the US where not one person lives. The Western US, in particular, is so urbanized and so vast that it's not wholly wrong to think of it as a bunch of disparate city-states connected by thin strips of asphalt.

@homolumen @bobdylanlover63 What do you mean by America A

@bobdylanlover63 yeah i grew up in America A and only entered into America B (pictured in OP) in my 20s. indeed it is spiritually a foreign nation

Growing up in this region will really destroy your perscriptions on the demographic break down of the country. I thought that may be a quarter of the United States was Jewish untill I was maybe 29 years old.

@switch1ebailey @bobdylanlover63 Wait the same exactly thing happens to me 😭

@bobdylanlover63 I live in south Florida and a lot of people assume I’m Jewish because I’m a white person who isn’t visibly Hispanic
