She can smell and sense the smoke from the fire that will burn everything down … she’s leaving before everything goes to complete dog shit and everyone goes after these MAGA lunatics.

She knows the boat is sinking and has hopped onto one of the lifeboats before everyone panics and jumps into the ocean.

It’s not “Gmail can read your emails” … Gmail has been reading your emails for years.

Is POTUS on that list?

I think they’re programming the ketamine into the LLM at this point

The fuck is wrong with Americans?

If any other president had said the things he said over the past couple of months, the country would have exploded and a president either legally or through mass protest removed from office.

What’s so special about this orange nutjob?

Lol

Strong man authoritarian leader can’t offer definitive evidence that he isn’t a pedophile

The comment continues the president’s long-standing pattern of denigrating female journalists HIMSELF.

Users falling to their death, then whipping him in the ankle at the last moment so that we all dive into the depths of social and financial insolvency together

Just one card? … my girlfriend looks like three of those … and she still hates me.

The country is not ready for a president with intelligence, integrity, morals, empathy or even a bit of humanity.

Person who plays with fire is surprised to learn that she is in danger of being burned.

Jesus has probably already returned and the rapture has already started

We just didn’t notice because we killed Jesus because he sounded too much like a communist and when the rapture started, no one noticed because no one was taken up because no one was worthy.

This was the reason for the tariffs. An excuse to raise prices and keep them high.

America is so screwed.

Don’t worry it won’t stay bad for long … it’s going to get worse.

“They started without us and they’re almost done”

Thanks for the insight … I’ve made a subtle change to my first comment to reflect what you said.

It was a poor choice of words and phrasing on my part … a lot of time I’m just off handedly commenting on things while doing something else and never think too much or too clearly about what I’m saying or commenting.

As an older man now … I do take time to gauge who I am talking to, especially young people, because I know social anxiety, being awkward and just being young makes it difficult for young people to do any kind of small talk. But I also do have to do it safely in a public setting where I can feel safe and the person I talk to can feel safe.

As you can see … small talk even in a public forum like this is a skill we have to learn.

If anything small talk is necessary because it teaches all how to live with one another.

Hey bud, how you doing?

Small talk is even harder in public if you are a big tall brown long haired Native Canadian man like me. I’m older now and I’m fully aware that I intimidate people at first glance. I’m not violent, or do or want to do aggressive things but if you saw me, chances are those are the first impressions that you would see.

In northern Ontario, Caucasian people are familiar with people like me and I can easily talk to most people, especially in rural areas. But if I talk to some young woman, I’m often treated like some kind of monster.

I’ve also been to Europe in Germany, France, Italy and Spain and over there it is even harder for me to conduct small talk … there’s a language barrier and on top of that I look like I do. No matter how modern people can be, there is always a level of racism when people encounter someone who doesn’t look like everyone else they know.

So to me … small talk is a public filter.

If I talk to someone and they don’t want to engage, I move on.

If I talk to someone and they treat me kindly and openly, I’ve met someone who will help me feel more comfortable in this strange world.

This also acts as a public filter

If you small talk with someone and they react positively (or at least don’t treat you weird) … then the person you are small talking to is a decent RECEPTIVE person who is also open to a bit of communication.

If you small talk with someone and they immediately treat you weird, walk away or just don’t want to deal with you … then chances are, it was a good thing you said something to eliminate any negative interaction.

EDIT: changed a word in my phrasing
