The U.S. balkanizing is what I expect to occur sometime in the next few decades. Divisions have just grown so strongly that there already are functionally a few different Americas, even if we’re still bound together for now.

In terms of the current shutdown though, I suspect it will last through Thanksgiving, and we will see the mother of all air traffic catastrophes. Multiple high profile crashes, tons of airports fully shutdown, lots of airspace shutdown, all amidst one of the busiest travel times of the year. Afterwards, there will be enough pressure to get the Reps to agree to a clean continuing resolution, which will fund the govt through January, and then we’ll do the whole song and dance again.

hey I call bullshit I played tons of Magic in many tournaments and nobody ever stuck their tongue in my mouth :(

can’t believe I can’t even avoid advertisements in fucking card games now

of the home in Whitestown

you can’t make this shit up

yeah I don’t think I’m more matured, I simply think that life is a curse and have no interest in celebrating the day I was cursed.

James has some incredible powers

no no no, not torturing. They don’t torture. He’s getting some enhanced interrogation.

This is exactly it. They think they’ll look better if their essay shows off two or three different things they’ve done, when the truth is that the best essays I’ve read are from students who pick one singular thing and fully explore it. Classic style over substance.

I thankfully don’t have kids, so I dunno if they’re still doing it, but I first heard of it in October. Also dunno if it happened outside of the US

okay but Frankenberry > Count Chocula > Booberry and I will fight about it

nah this is a lame take. People as a whole suck. trade your misandry for misanthropy

don’t worry, I work at a non-profit so they barely pay me lol. It’s mostly a curse, but the job market is bad in the U.S. since we’re teetering on the brink of collapse. I don’t really like my job, but I’ve got no other prospects that wouldn’t betray my morals.

The part that really blows my mind is the kids who have published research papers but still don’t understand this. I know they understand the concept of a thesis statement! They know how to write a closing paragraph! Yet still, they’ll write a meandering essay about three unrelated topics with no attempt to tie them together.

It’s always the journalism kids that seem to actually understand how to write. The overfocus on STEM sucks.

this is written by a masc man. if I’m not washing my hair and just scrubbing, yeah I can get it done in 10-15 minutes. If I need to wash my hair though? easily 30 minutes. If I need to shave my legs/body? I’m probably drawing a bath and I’ll see you in an hour at least.

6-7 is the hot new vocal stim that kids love repeating these days. It’s from a viral TikTok.

25 used to be a vocal stim kids would say, I wanna say its origin is from a joke in Spongebob.

as someone forced to read essays written by children but not involved in the education process, I really wish we stopped teaching like this. about 99% of essays I read have a great lede, and then 98% of them veer off into tangents and get off track. It feels like American education is so focused on the lede that it ignores the nut graf completely.

then you probably shouldn’t use the American Libertarian flag for your meme

No, but it’s also not American Libertarian

god I don’t even care for Palworld, it’s just clearly not a game for me, but if their spat with Nintendo ultimately ends with Nintendo losing a bunch of their bullshit patents I will buy a copy to sit in my library untouched

honestly, incredibly based.

People with platforms shouldn’t be allowed to spread blatant misinformation. That shit is incredibly harmful to uneducated people.
