There are 3 absolute certainties in life. Death, taxes, and that doofus is going to talk about "Cry baby Trump" again

A case for government-run grocery stores

In recent news, Kroger, America's 3rd largest grocery chain, formally announced that they will shutting down around 60 locations this year, with one of these locations being the nearest grocery store to me. Also in recent news, NYC mayoral candidate... See More »

You can get things done fast, you can get things done cheap, or you can get things done right, but very rarely all 3

What I'm basically trying to say is, if you ever find yourself unsatisfied, lowering your expectations usually helps

This website is a drug

Figuratively speaking. I find myself coming back here over and over at all hours of the day not to post anything or respond to anyone, but simply to get a little dopamine fix. To answer some meaningless question or read other people's half-baked... See More »

Parents who say "I did my best" are usually just unreliable narcissists who expect credit for doing the bare minimum

"It depends" is such a dumb response to give

Like, depends on what exactly? If you don't follow up with anything, you're basically advertising that you don't know wtf you're saying. Unless you're expecting me to make your argument for you. Like sure, why not? Let me just undermine everything I... See More »

For those who exercise regularly, how do you react to missing a workout?

I just missed my first one this year, and kinda having a crisis. Not sure whether to go heavier in the next workout, to add a makeup day, to cut back on the calories, or to just let it go and continue like nothing happened. I'm leaning towards the... See More »

I think the vast majority of homeless people are lost causes

Full distinction, this isn't to say that they deserve to be homeless. Some do, for sure, but for the majority there are circumstances that makes it exorbitantly difficult and costly to integrate them into general society. As someone that likes data... See More »

In the age of sound bites and video clips, the push for content often drives out the necessity of context

The digital world operates under very different rules from our own. When our attention is being monetized, it's more important than ever to question what we see and hear

Does anyone here have experience with ADHD? What advice would you give to someone dealing with it?

My girlfriend just got diagnosed with it a few days ago and she's pretty bummed out. I wish I could be more supportive, but I literally have no idea what could help

I've officially attained attractiveness and I don't know what to do with it

Got hit on at work and at the vet in the last 24 hours. Lost track of how many times it's happened this year. Before it was customary to go years without feeling seen. So do people just hand me free stuff now or what happens next? I've never had... See More »

What does an illegal immigrant look like? How do they differ in appearance from a legal immigrant or even a US citizen?

Tom Homan, current White House Border Czar, just confirmed that ICE agents can detain people without warrants or probable cause, based on their "physical appearance"

In anticipation of protests happening this weekend, and the potential for rioting, I'd like to share a quote by Martin Luther King Jr

Let me say as I've always said, and I will always continue to say, that riots are socially destructive and self-defeating. I'm still convinced that nonviolence is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom and... See More »

I can't think of anything that makes me cringe harder than political memes

It's just people hijacking a template used for cheap laughs to virtue signal for even cheaper laughs from their in-group. It's basically a shitpost masquerading as dialogue, except that you can't really stoop any lower than that in a conversation so... See More »

I'm not ready to spread my dog's ashes

It's been about 5 months since she lost her battle to an aggressive tumor. Up until the night she passed, I kept thinking she would hold on a little longer so I could take her to her favorite dog park one last time. But her health took a sharp... See More »

Had an interesting exchange yesterday that reminded me of this clip. With the sharp political divides here, what do you guys of think of this theory?

Andrew's Radicalization Theory Context behind the clip

Is the guy that paid $44 billion for Twitter really the best candidate to solve wasteful spending?

When you look at someone through rose-colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags

In a nation with fast food, same-day delivery, high-speed internet, weight-loss pills, personalized algorithms, and a limitless supply of entertainment options within arm's reach, there will invariably be an attitude of indulgence and psychological... See More »

So Linkin Park has a new singer

Drummer too. Nobody could ever replace Chester, but the band has entered a new era and I'm all for it

Whenever I feel like skipping work, I'll just say that I have a concept of a valid excuse

If that's a good enough platform for Trump to fleece his supporters with, I figure it'll get me some much needed time off As a child of immigrants, believe me when I say that it takes a lot of time to round up other people's pets in time for dinner

Out of all things I have accomplished, there is no higher honor than when a Republican lets you borrow his truck

Happened a few days ago with my girlfriend's dad. I'm still riding that high. I don't know if I'll ever live up to anything so aggrandizing

What would you do with a billion dollars?

I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man

People resent being shown that they don't approach the complexities of the problem—they don't know what exists beyond the surface ripples

For an old friend

Sometimes relationships end unexpectedly and we have to learn to make our peace with that as best we can. Other times you can see the writing on the wall and realize the best thing to do is just break it off and go our separate ways. Both are bound... See More »

Trump's cabinet scares me more than a Trump presidency

Given that 40 out of 44 of his previous cabinet members have refused to endorse him for president, and given his history of firing people that criticize him and replacing them with sycophants, looking out at the landscape of potential candidates is... See More »
