@kibutschain @jeremykauffman @GadSaad @ComicDaveSmith @joerogan I believe in the free-market, taxes should be zero, only landowners should vote, God/Family are paramount, 2nd amendment should include belt-fed .50 cal and I don’t want my countrymen dying for fucking Israel or any other foreign country. What am I?

@xernue @Gavin_McInnes Nailed it

@Gavin_McInnes when you have a narcissistic parent you are brought up to be hyper aware and mindful of everything you do that could bother someone else.

After meeting my kid’s friends for 20 years, I am beginning to notice the strangest pattern… the most well-adjusted and charming kids seem to come from the most narcissistic and disinterested parents. I don’t get it.

@bees_cult @SlumRNA_Dog Wut da fugh

@SlumRNA_Dog You’re supposed to swallow it whole

I’m sorry, like, I’m just chewing them up anyway. This is the one peatmeme I can’t get behind lmfao. Chew up some long peeled carrots and chew up a a whole carrot and spit it out and compare them. You can’t tell the difference. You’re insane. You need to get off the internet.

@farmingandJesus I’d look like I’m cosplaying Peeky Blinders.

Men, can we bring this back ??? 🙃 My grandpa dressed like this in the 40s 🥹

@yonann Shoulda stayed fat and modest.

Jonah Hill says jiu jitsu has him ready to “annihilate” anyone who still sees him as the fat guy from Superbad “I love Brazilian jiu jitsu, except my body is begging me not to love it. My wife is often like, ‘You’re not going to become a professional fighter. You know that, right? You’re a comedian’” “If we got into it, I would f*ck you up. I would f*ck all three of you up” “My favorite thing is people are like, ‘Oh, Jonah Hill, f*cking fat guy from Superbad.’ And I’m like, ‘I would f*cking annihilate you, dude. I’m not kidding you. Try it. If you see me, try it, dude. Bring it. Who’s got it?’”

@glcst Followed. I was the same. Went through adult confirmation last year after finally accepting that maybe this is all actually true. A wild realization.

15 years ago, as a rabid atheist, I met a Greek Orthodox Christian at a function and we started to talk about religion (I have never met this person again). I told him that you had to be really stupid to hold any religious belief. I was a rational man, and couldn't come to believe in made up fairy tales. Religion was not falsifiable. It was all untestable claims about the universe with no value. To my surprise, he didn't argue, he didn't seem moved. He stated: "I agree". And upon gazing over my confused face for a second, he continued. "All religions are unfalsifiable, but one: Christianity" He then quoted the letter of St. Paul to the Romans, where St. Paul states that if Jesus didn't rise from the dead, we are worse than fools. And explained that the central claim of Christianity rests on a historical claim, not a metaphysical one. Amidst people over the centuries trying to distill Christianity to a moral set of teachings, a way of life, a philosophy, Christians keep insisting: well sure, you can do all of that. But we gather here because Christ rose from the dead. And if He didn't, we are worse than fools. I replied that I had to concede on his premise: this was a falsifiable claim. But it was also a false claim, obviously so. So we agreed on one more thing: they were all fools! Almost a decade later, I spent a long time - more than a year, looking deeply into the evidence for Christ's resurrection, I was convinced that by far, the hypothesis that best explained the totality of the facts was that The Word became flesh, and after his death by crucifixion, rose from the dead. It wasn't an easy psychological process because so much of my identity rested on being the smart rational guy that was above all the superstitious nonsense. And because it wasn't easy for me, I know it is not easy for most. Even for most of that year in which I looked at the evidence, it still all felt obviously false. The two things that flipped me the most were: 1) My realization that I was in a sense guilty of the circularity that I accused many religious people of: I *knew* a priori that the resurrection was impossible because well, it is impossible. By already assuming this explanation was out, every other was immediately better. But once I opened myself to the possibility that it could be true, however unlikely, it changed things completely for me 2) My realization that I had to look at the totality of evidence instead of expecting that each piece of evidence on its own would explain the whole thing. Funny enough I didn't apply this standard to anything else, but applied to the claim of the resurrection. It was a confusing time for me but I then decided that if that was true, I couldn't just sit idly and had to do something about it. This all happened around 6 years ago. And I am here to tell you that after 2,000 years, this crazy claim survives for a reason: it is true. And if it isn't, I am worse than a fool. Which you likely think I am, like I thought of that unnamed person whom I never met again. I don't talk about it often and as a rule of thumb don't argue about it woth anyone, because as I learned with my own experience going through it, the frame of mind matters. Something has to click (this is true for all big mental shifts, not just this one) Perhaps you are a recent follower of mine, and lost all respect for me now - as I would have done back then. But I pray to the Lord that at least for some of you, I can be the small crack that opens the dam of the truth for you. Know that Jesus Christ, God made flesh, loves you. And he offered himself in sacrifice for you.

@MillionInt Thus us true every 5 years

It is mindblowing to me how few people realize that their lives and everything they know will change drastically in the near future. At this point, it should be pretty clear.

@MaddestMatty @SethLargo Same with my salary job

@SethLargo Salary is for bozos. I show up, I get my money, and then I forget about the place until tomorrow

This is called having a salary. Some weeks it works in your favor, other weeks it don't.

@SethLargo Unpaid overtime is a very weird way to say Salary. I would have asked, what do you mean? Is this not a salary position? Maybe the interviewer is just weeding out imbeciles.

@dadinthearena @maxlugavere And insane 😬

@maxlugavere I bet if you took it apart and ate it one layer at a time it would actually be more satiating

I will. Mash all of these otherwise healthy ingredients together and it intensifies food reward and increases the rate at which you can eat them, both important factors in overeating.

@SacAppraiser IF you have some money ear marked, give it earlier rather than later.

I’m listening to a podcast about younger generations wanting their inheritance now from Boomers. I get it, but I think some Boomers are concerned about having enough money to last for their lives, particularly with the cost of healthcare. Said as a Gen X guy. Thoughts?

@lance_corporate Same situation…. Moving this weekend to twice the sized home.

We just moved. Yeah it sucks to give up a good rate. What sucks even more is spending your kids’ entire childhood in a state of anticipation waiting for some highly optimized market scenario that may never come. Homes are an investment, yes, but they are first and foremost a backdrop for the one and only life that is quickly passing you by. Don’t be dumb, but don’t let these real estate dorks paralyze you. Life is meant to be lived, not constantly overanalyzed.

@bart_blaster @paleonormie Bahahaha

@paleonormie Men just had to start cooking out of necessity due to changing societal changes and we realized, like with everything, turns out we’re just better at it

This has been the norm among upper middle class whites for like a decade and it’s crazy how little we talk about it

@ThrillaRilla369 When I was younger.

White people, honest question: Have you ever felt even the slightest sense of guilt simply because of your race?

@PermAintDeadYet @SpencerKlavan Roseanne is a national treasure

@SpencerKlavan Roseanne is one of the best depictions of working class families ever put to screen. It’s a wonderful show. Truly sad what Roseanne Barr has becomes

This is pretty much my first time encountering so much as a clip from this show. I had no idea it was this raw. Kind of daring, but I found it hard to watch. It saddens me to no end to think that this was presented—or received—as widely relatable. Especially sad to think of this specifically as a depiction of the blue collar working class. True, the language and aesthetics are gesturing toward that set in a way that looks like real people I can recognize. But I don’t think it’s at all fair to suggest—if that’s what the show was suggesting—that poorer people are more likely to unleash themselves on each other in this way. Upper middle and upper class people are under less pressure and tend to get more examples of how to speak their complaints more delicately. But sometimes that only means they’re capable of being more subtly and painfully cruel. The signature, the defining privilege of my life is having grown up in a home where it was unthinkable for mom and dad to talk to each other in this way or anything approaching it. Nothing else really comes close. You just cannot overestimate the value of going through life with the knowledge that it is possible—even in anger, even in passion—to restrain yourself by force of love. And it is possible—I know it is, I’ve seen it—to give and receive that gift of love no matter how much money you have. I feel like coming from a happy home is the actual great equalizer, the thing I can recognize in other people no matter where or how else they grew up differently from me. What we don’t do enough is explain that being good to those you love is not the default state. It should be—nothing is more rational or natural than to be loving with your beloved. But look what sin did to my humanity, bruh. So in that way maybe this scene is relatable: it shows what should be unthinkable but too often becomes the default. (The unthinkably unnatural becoming the global default, so that basic goodness takes hard labor, is a good approximation of what Christians mean by original sin, by the way). So I hope you know, whether you’ve seen it done or not, whatever family you come from, that it is possible to do better than this. It is possible to be raw and honest with each other without tearing into each other like this. It is possible to be good to those you love. Like everything beautiful about us, it feels impossible but it’s how we’re meant to be.

@bowtiedgerman Less fat

Do I have millennial psychosis or was everyone actually that much hotter 20 years ago

@blockhead4000 It’s either death or basically ok based on the comments.

Diet Coke Aspartame makes me feel good and energized, sugar alcohols like in protein bars and gum are literally poison that immediately makes you sick

@cleanslaterun We’re moving from SoCal to Idaho this weekend. I don’t foresee us buying solar ever. Just doesn’t make any sense. Maybe an off grid situation with batteries for night time could be feasible.

@Donaldtfoster Would love to see how it plays out long term

I used to sell Solar panels. It's 97% a scam. You can go wake up and knock a door and make $10k in a day. The end product for most folks is basically the homeowner signing a 25 year contract that replaces their current bill. So for example: Current electric bill: $100 Solar bill : $80 So they save "$20" a month and sign a financed system over 25 years that includes interest and something called a "dealer fee" which is 20% - 30% of the total financed amount. Let's say they do save $20 a month.. #1. Most of these systems don't last after 10+ years due to manufacturer defects on the inverters. #2. Panels deteriorate in terms of production after every single year. #3. Most of the companies go bankrupt after a few years and don't service the panels leading the homeowners astray #4. If a roof needs to be replaced it will cost $10,000's + of dollars to take the panels off and to put it back on. #5. It adds little to no value to the home and causes so many issues in terms of selling the home.. #6.... Shall I go on?

@jeffcharlesjr I heard his politics while writing it were Cocaine and Cigarettes

Believe it or not, I've never read a Stephen King novel. So I'm starting with Pet Sematary. I'll report back later. And no, I don't care about his politics at the moment.

@KyleVansice @SukritGanesh @cedarbuild @_natepeters What? OC…

@SukritGanesh @cedarbuild @_natepeters Orange county, can DM more details

4,000 homes will be built behind us we're standing on the largest lot I've ever seen. it will be an incredible community (and future city) that @cedarbuild will hopefully help build and believe it or not, it's in California!

@GrulkeLamonte Man, that’s a slow trip North!!

Who is booking a 244 DAY Cruise?! I could not imagine…
