Solipsism, yeah maybe.

Can you try to figure out whether this person is hilarious or anti-intellectual? I scratched my chin off trying to spot the difference

I’d only heard of council juice

You know how if you’ve got something really biting and witty you want to say to someone, so you kind of manufacture a little segue just so you can fire it off?

Yesterday my republican co-worker did that just so she could say “juneteenth, pff whatever”. That is what she considers comedy.

Edit to add: she paused to laugh at that point as if to invite me to share in the joke. She really is that dreary of a person.

In leftist spaces, the word liberal often has a different connotation more focused on economic liberalism.

They don’t usually feel the need to clarify, and everyone gets mad. It must be incredibly fun to be an asshole these days.

I think he mentioned knowing he’s a dumbass, so

Orange slime

The piracy has already begun? Great news!

Surreal comedy is hardly random, it’s deliberately incongruous in ways that demonstrate a mastery of causal logic.

Knowledge-gated progression perhaps.

I kind of enjoy the abstruse, tortured jargon of “metroidbrainia”, but I would never use it in a respectable conversation.

My partner and I had a habit of treating merges as teamwork. Driver focuses on front, copilot looks back/sideways, and driver implicitly trusts when copilot says “go”. We were pretty slick with our merges.

To equivocate, we have since relocated to a city with good enough public transit that we were able to ditch our car entirely. Life is definitely better this way.

This is beyond memes. This is a severe deficit of metaphorical thinking. Mom might have like undiagnosed autism

If you’re good at something, never do it for free.

There’s definitely a demand issue in some cases, however.

Crazy how I know a guy with a shitty younger brother who is a completely inept sociopath and has been actively ruining his life and making normalcy impossible within this exact same dynamic. I can’t go into any detail because it’d affect their business, but it’s exactly this scenario. Last night I was warning him that he might lash out to preserve the status quo - exactly how Israel is right now.

I fucking knew it

Only a ~2% chance 4 years from now. And it’s an order of magnitude smaller than the one that hit Chicxulub. Yawn

We’re getting into the body positivity discourse of a century old photo of dudes dressed like Beetlejuice’s day at the beach, so it pretty much goes without saying that we could all do with a gasp of fresh air.
