    I consider myself pretty smart.

    My old roommate had this friend that would come over tho. And him…he’s probably very lucky his first and last name are only four letters each, or he may still have trouble writing it to this day.

    I could feel the IQ drop when he walked in the room.

















  • You’re getting downvoted but you’re seeing the big picture.

    The way elections work now, Democrats know they don’t have to cater to coastal cities. They got the big EC votes in the bag as long as they pay minimal lip service

    Not so much because “vote blue no matter who”, moreso “republicans are verifiably, objectively evil and the system is rigged to prevent a third party from succeeding, so this is the only choice”.

    No, the real battle is the purple states.

    When you consider the current media landscape (and mainly the fact that nearly all local and national broadcast, and print media, and major social media, is owned by pedos or pedo sympathizers), I sincerely do not think that a progressive message will be able to penetrate that information bubble deep enough to get the state.

    So they gotta cast a net that appeals to a majority of those voters.

    Which is probably not possible with a PoC or any body who sits to pee, which is another problem all together.

    This is all also assuming a free and fair election, which I’m having more doubts on every day.


  • I’m a white boy but in highschool my best friend was 1st-generation Chinese-American.

    His parents owned a Chinese restaurant that I worked at…Americanized Chinese, like everyone in America is used to.

    While I worked there his parents also opened up an authentic Chinese restaurant.

    Most of the stuff on the menu, Americans would ball at. There were dead ducks and pigs hanging in the window.

    But I tried cow tongue there for the first time. It was amazing. And something else with white sauce I don’t remember what it was but it was so damn good.

    I had a falling out with him, and the parents lost their restaurants in COVID.
