@bendreyfuss You have not been around many current high schoolers if you think this is remotely implausible.

There is exactly no chance you will convince me that only 47% of high school seniors have ever had alcohol at all. Maybe if you try hard you could convince me that only 65% have, and that’s me granting a bunch of insulting assumptions about Gen Z.

Congratulations to successive generations getting better at lying to pollsters

Huge collapse in drinking among high schoolers 👀

@NickJFuentes @MrBoris2244 Tucker has to be the biggest psycho I’ve ever seen in media. His views on anyone outside of the mainstream sphere, (Nick, Basil, etc.) are totally predicated on how much influence he thinks that person has. He didn’t give Nick credit until he found out how popular he was.

@MrBoris2244 This guy is such a piece of work. Not to mention, it’s all the same talking points about me as Dan B (under FBI investigation) and the Australian foreign national with the glowing skinsuit conference.

Why listening to Ezra and Derek reflecting on abundance made me pessimistic.
They want a movement that builds things.
But in their coalition is a huge faction that hates business, the people who build things!
It's a wild contradiction.

@aimeeterese How do you explain Richard Hanania? Is he also a bosniak?
English
Nope, sorry, but the “Palestinians” who look like this are not even remotely indigenous to the Levant, their ancestors actually migrated to the region in the late 19th century as Muslims making an exodus from Bosnia when it became part of the Austro-Hungarian empire & they were spooked about the prospect of living under Christian rule (probably because they knew how Muslims treated Jews & Christian’s when the roles were reversed).
Anyway their historic ties to the region extend at maximum 130 odd years or so, ie. when the Zionist state building exercise was well underway. Both Ashkenazi Jews and these Bosnian pseudo-Arabs have ethnically European history & lineage, the difference is the Jews as a people and as a nation were originally indigenous to the Levant, and so at some point far enough back the Sephardic, Mizrahi and Ashkenazi Jews all had common ancestors indigenous to the region; whereas these Bosnian non-Arabs , did not. (And neither did the “Palestinian” Muslim Arab colonisers but that’s another story for another day. )

These are Palestinians btw

@RyanGirdusky Yeah I don’t think anyone believes he’s living in an airstream though.

@AniseNot Guys, this is what happens when you don’t put a ring on it.

@EggerDC Yeah idk dude it hits a little different when the husband has faced multiple assassination attempts in the past couple years.

Agree with this, but additionally the idea being smuggled in that Kimmel was calling for or celebrating the idea of violence against Trump is ridiculous. The "trophy wife who won't be crushed when her rich old husband kicks the bucket" trope is older than dirt
Billy Binion@billybinion
I empathize a lot with the first lady, and I don't find Jimmy Kimmel funny. He still has free speech rights, because the First Amendment does not just protect funny people with tasteful jokes. The government should not be pressuring a private company to fire someone.

@efino87 Hit up Renzio’s in the mall if you want a really good gyro. I haven’t been there in years but they have outlasted every other food place in that mall.

The Taco Bell in Cheyenne on Dell Range slaps every single time. It’s like they have somehow teleported back to the late 90s/early 2000s when Taco Bell was at its prime. This location is a treasure.

@Empty_America We pay ~2% in Nebraska. It’s a tough pill to swallow.

Property Tax on this is 830 Euro per year.
I told you guys, high property tax is a pretty weird anomaly found mostly in the NE USA, and TX for some odd reason.
It's not "normal."

Someone is selling a flour mill in Normandy that sits on its own private island, with two waterfalls. It was first recorded in 1398. The mill was owned through the Middle Ages by the Le Veneur family, and rebuilt in the 19th century into the red-brick flour mill you see in the first image. It has been lived in ever since, which is probably the most remarkable thing about it. 4 bedrooms, 242m² (2,607 sq ft) of living space across multiple levels, with a 72m² living area on the top floor. It also includes an indoor swimming pool which tbh I did not expect. The original millstone is still sitting on the island by the way. So is a beehive. To get to the front door you cross a small stone bridge over one of the waterfalls. A short walk the other way takes you to a second narrow island of 220m², which leads directly into the forest. Asking price: €349k ($409k). The waterfalls are included. Presumably some form of hydroelectric power is possible, but I'll leave that to people smarter than me.

@dmjtnc @heatdaddy69420 What do you mean it’s nothing? There is absolutely no innocent explanation for it lol.

If you’re a guy and you’re upset about your wife having her hair in a ponytail with her fingers interlocked with the hands of a NFL football coach on the rooftop of an extremely intimate 5 star adult only resort in Sedona Arizona, you’re simply just insecure. No other comments

@default_friend There definitely is a lack of boy clothes at most places, though.
English
Saw a post complaining about lack of “boy toys.” Bro what? My house is filled with race cars, toy trucks, books about basketball, cowboy ephemera. None of this was rare or hard to get. Every time I log onto X, I feel like I straight up live on another planet. I hate the “well, actually” stance but I never know wtf people are talking about anymore

@Empty_America Valentine, Nebraska is 100 miles from the nearest Walmart.

@Alicia_Bittle_ @shagbark_hick None of those people eat roadkill because none of those people know how to process an animal. You are literally judging a baby being bare legged in 40 degree sunny spring weather. Gain some perspective.
English
@shagbark_hick None of those people you mentioned eat roadkill.
You regularly advertise your bad decisions and then complain when people judge.
I’m over it
English
If you go out looking like you belong in a colonial village and then complain when people gawk/stare/judge/take pictures… you need to get over yourself.

The degree to which complete strangers are now surveiling each other is unreal. 4 days ago, it was 39f, no wind. We parked 250' from the door to the meat store. The walk took 45 seconds. Our baby was in (light pink) thick wool tights. This random lady whips her phone out, snaps a picture, and lambastes us publicly online. She had no idea we were only walking 250 feet, nor that we were only outside for 45 seconds. She clearly couldn't tell that the baby was in light-pink tights, nor that they were thick wool. And she didn't know that our baby SWEATS when she naps, takes her hat off, and literally coos with joy when she finally gets to cool off. So we figured a 45-second cool-down was totally harmless. This lady disagreed. These days, you are always being watched and graded on your *perceived* conduct by parochial social media vigilantes armed with cameras. It's like the paparazzi but for normal people. Who knows what could come of this kind of thing? How easy is it to be misinterpreted in public? There is no grace, no chill -- the judgements are instant and damning. This is very common. I don't really care what the woman thinks about us, but I do understand why some young people are nervous to have kids. If you have kids, you'll be watched on an extremely granular level when in public -- and there will be photographic evidence for even the smallest perceived misjudgement.

@shagbark_hick I’m sorry there is just something really rotten about people who would complain about this. Both of my boys would easily get very overheated at that age and I would do the exact same

@nathan37045431 @217Showers Iowa is going to lose tonight, Paul. Buckle up
English
@217Showers Wow that “bit” is just so funny everyone’s dying laughing you are just retarted is what it is

having people in the mentions not understanding the various bits this week has been exhilarating
paul reed@nathan37045431
@217Showers University of Iowa is literally right by the border of Illinois and you don’t know where that is wow you are retarted. Go drink a beer and watch the game oh wait… you can’t you pathetic fucks

@annakhachiyan Yeah, just notice how your stomach feels after eating one. Clearly worse

Protein bar probably worse for you than cigarette

@captive_dreamer @hpmcd1 All of Lindsay’s retarded bullshit and conspiracism gets totally ignored by these guys just because he’s ardently pro Israel. It’s absolutely pathetic.
English
@hpmcd1 James Lindsays mistake was being a retard and calling people like me and my friends "woke Reich" for warning about this stuff while not being Libtards
English
They describe roughly the same thing. James Lindsay's "mistake" was being right about it too early, when people were still worried it might win.
Now it's clear that it's a bunch of losers who are on the wrong side of Trump, so people who previously flirted with it are defecting and need a new term.
Xenocosmography@xenocosmography
'The Retard Right' (exactly as John Doyle uses it) is such a great coinage. There's literally no reason to hear 'Woke Right' bullshit ever again. (It has nothing to contribute except smoke.)

@efino87 That’s really interesting!
I was going to ask you if you had any thoughts on the elementary schools here? My oldest son starts kindergarten next year. We were going to enroll him at Lost Creek, but a lot of people are telling us we should send him to one of the private schools.

@CoePierre Proximity to the Sandhills, the Platte River and highway 81. There was an article in the Omaha World Herald years ago that talked about down sloping winds out of the Sandhills and the moist gulf air pooling along that area that made storms worse.
English
This might sound insane to Midwest folks but the cold doesn’t feel as cold here. I am in a sweatshirt outside right now. Somehow it’s a dry cold in the same way it’s a dry heat.
English
@efino87 I will look into that. Thanks for the heads up! Is there something specific about this area that makes it more prone to severe weather? I lived between Lincoln and Beatrice for many years and never experienced anything too crazy.
English
@CoePierre If you don’t have a weather radio yet, I would get one. I lived in Columbus five years and town was hit by tornadoes twice during that time.
