@ThrillaRilla369 Books. Grew up in rural Alaska and spent a lot of time on commercial fishing boats. Books were the lifeline.

To those who grew up without the internet… how did you DEAL with BOREDOM at home?

@Ravenismeee Ennui

WHAT IS IT CALLED WHEN YOU’RE NOT SUICIDAL BUT JUST REALLY TIRED OF BEING ALIVE ???

@RWMaloneMD He managed hurricane response in FL brilliantly. We will miss him.

I am torn. DeSantis is a brilliant mind. I have met him, heard him lecture - there are few who are his match intellectually - which is why he belongs on the Supreme Court. On the other hand, he is the most effective manager of a large bureaucracy that I have seen in my lifetime. For instance, I could see him being an excellent Vice President pick in 2028. That talent, which could really help the USA for decades to come - would be wasted, if he was on the Supreme Court.

@BlondeOfWar Wish they would have fired up the engine!

Imagine buying a brand new Corvette in 1982 and parking it in a garage until today. That’s what someone did with this beauty. Only 33 miles on it and covered in over 40 years of filth. This detailing transformation is so satisfying and this champagne color is stunning.🤩

@tuuu28283 I read the novel _Shogun_ by James Clavell when I was 15 years old. It is still my favorite novel.

アメリカの兄弟達 リプで侍という言葉をよく見るが 侍は何で知ったの？？ 侍のどこが好き？？ 刀は海外にはないの？？ 教えて！！

@nihilistsensor @AgingAnarchist Or we have 40 acres of land that needs to be bush hogged and our tractor needs to be fucking towed on a trailer so we can go do it, shithead. (Translate that, Grok!)

@AgingAnarchist チンボが小さいけどエゴがデカいから。

なぜアメリカ人はクレカをMaxed outしてまでムダにデカいトラックに乗るのか。その謎を解くために借りてみた。

@AgingAnarchist Many of us don't have "maxed out" credit cards, and we own trucks like this because we have equipment that we must tow, such as trailer that carry tractors, and boats on trailers, etc. We are a very different country.

@threenotes_jp There are many aspects of Japanese culture that would very much improve life in the US if adopted. So, yes, I like Japan. However, I do think that the US--and Western Culture--has done some things that are better than Japanese culture. We can learn much from each other.

海外のみなさん。日本が好き？

@jkv5271 @BretWeinstein Calm down, Beavis. You're going to give yourself a nosebleed again.

I hate you so much right now. I want to tell you to go fuck yourself. I want to tell you that if you want to save this nation be a man. Stand behind your president. Not because you are part of a cult, but because you don't know everything that he knows and you decide to trust him. I want to remind you that you don't speak to world leaders. He does. I want to tell you that what you are doing will eventually bring this country down. I want to make you look at yourself and ask why? Why is it that YOU want to make YOURSELF more important than the best negotiator in the world who you KNOW loves this country. I hate you so much right now. You are sowing division and you know it. You are gathering people together to bring this administration down. That's insurrection. And you sir, are a traitor.

Hey folks, the coalition that came together in 2024 to defeat the Blue Team is vast and powerful, and many of us are not happy with our current trajectory as a nation. Join us for a free event in Grand Rapids, MI on May 22nd. Let the powerful know they need us far more than we need them, and that we will not rest until we Rescue the Republic.

@BretWeinstein Sir, your hair demands to be taken extremely seriously. It is a force of nature. LOL

For those wondering about this image, I did not see it in advance, and although I don’t dislike it, it could leave the impression that I take myself extremely seriously. Make of it what you will, but know that I had no part in choosing it.

@RonDeSantis Hell yeah.

Among many issues with this list, Metallica should be higher. Also, how can you not have Rush, Skynyrd or Van Halen?

@CharlesTingler A morning Tweet, no doubt

@Nero Stop it.

When was the last time anyone saw any evidence that Jordan Peterson was alive?

And you made their day, too. One of my favorite memories is helping a stranded kid (probably 20ish but to my grampa eyes: a kid) change a flat tire. She couldn't get the lug nuts to break free and I had a truck with tools in it. She was in a waitress uniform. Late for work. We got her going and she smiled. Wish I could do something like that every day.

I love how men see a problem and can't walk away. Yesterday I was with my cousin and our bike just stopped in the middle of the road. Out of nowhere, one guy came to help. Tried everything… didn't start. Then another guy joined. Still nothing. Then a third one. Now all three are fully invested like it's their own bike… and we're just standing there getting embarrassed. After a while they were like, "Don't worry, we'll drop you home safely with the bike." Before we could even process that, two more guys showed up. Now FIVE men…all trying different things, discussing, kicking, checking, adjusting something… full teamwork mode. And somehow…they actually got it started. Who says men don't help? Because yesterday, five strangers stopped their day just to make sure two girls didn't get stuck on the road.

@TiffanyFong Nope. Fraud requires intent to deceive. If it's a mistake, it's not fraud.

might accidentally commit tax fraud because i’m fucking retarded

@LangmanVince She is very funny. She'd be even better if she slowed down.

Mr. T's Daughter is hilarious 😂

@oku_yungx I've always liked the British reply: "Well, there's no accounting for taste."

@Asobolika Two out of three of those is false. But yeah, we're all fat.

Дорогие жители США помогите разоблачить несколько стереотипов о вас-вы едите только в Макдональдсе, у вас все в кредит и много долгов, все в США жирные 👋😘🥰

@ericmmatheny Door #2. The Fair Tax

What would work better? A flat tax rate where everybody - regardless of income level - pays a fixed percentage; Or A consumption-based national sales tax system where you are only taxed on goods you purchase?

I'm sorry, but if you start allowing slipperly slope arguments then you'll have start allowing other logical fallacies, and before you know it, all logic will break down, and logic is the basis of science, and if science stops working then we can't produce technology, and technology is all that separates us from the animals and allows us to survive in a hostile world. Therefore, if you allow slippery slope arguments, you'll kill us all!

Is slippery slope even a fallacy? I feel like it's a very real concept. A valid arguement in many cases.
