He’s still batshit, just in a better-tailored suit.
The good news is the MAGA crowd don’t have fanatical loyalty to him.
Yes, but the fact he feels the need to say this aloud means it’s on his mind, and that’s potentially good news.
🤞
I parented a teen boy. Sometimes, no matter what you do and no matter how close you were before puberty, a switch flips outside your control and they won’t talk to you anymore. We were a typical family, no abuse, no fighting, nobody on drugs, both parents with 9-5 office jobs, very engaged with school and etc.
Thankfully, after riding it out (getting him therapy, giving space, respect, and support), he came out the other side fine. But there were a few harrowing years during that phase.
I went through a similar phase in my teens. If AI was there to feed my issues, I might not have survived it. Teenage hormones are a helluva drug.
Yep, I was gonna say, as a child of the 70s/early 80s, I was a totally unsupervised latch-key kid. The paedophiles loved that. It was a predator’s paradise. Most of us knew kids our age who either vanished or died by misadventure, and many of us were assaulted in some way.
I don’t like helicopter parenting, either, but anyone who sees the Wild West of the 80s as some sort of ideal either has a faulty memory or is deluding themselves.
It smells like green.
Neat. There should be a class-action suit by people like me who literally can’t vote in person (disabled, homebound). We can’t vote otherwise.
This takes away my vote. I’ve no doubt they’ll do this, and we can’t effectively protest against it, so they’ll walk on us like the carpet we are. We literally can’t resist.
Why pay when you can blackmail? It’s probably a bit of both, but given trump’s known proclivities and the fact Putin was a KGB agent before he took power, I’d be shocked if he doesn’t have even more dirt on trump than the US does.
Money can be outbid, but blackmail is forever.
e: and no, we’ll likely never see it. Kompromat loses its value once it’s published.
Most cosmetic surgery isn't permanent.
These big changes often are, though. You may regret it and get it removed, but you’re going to age far worse in any case.
There’s a whole movement right now of these people getting their surgery reversed, but in many cases the long-term damage has been done and you will age worse than if you hadn’t done it. You have scar tissue that will age differently, no matter how minor and no matter what you do.
It’s really sad, because these people are making themselves look worse now and they’ll also age worse, and they’ll likely hate that, then spend thousands more in that cycle, like you said.
What on earth makes people think this is a desirable look? It’s grotesque. Like literally, in the classical art meaning, grotesque. Like living gargoyles. And many of them were actually beautiful before this butchery.
The ice cream no longer exists. It hasn’t existed for a long time, and no amount of wishing will bring it back.
I want ice cream, too. But before we can have ice cream again, we need to not die.
Eh. Trump isn’t a christian by their definition now. He could find Krishna on his deathbed and they’ll still make pilgrimages to his grave, expecting him to rise up as their saviour.
They don’t care about his beliefs or actions. All that matters is their own fear, anger, and hate. That’s all this has really been about. Not ideals, not standards, and certainly not reality.
