Yeah who wants to read a book or scroll instagram reels on the train when you could be on an interstate behind a grandma going 10 mph under, next to a Nissan driver with 4 bald tires that's on their phone, and in front of an angry Ram 1500 driver on his way to his custody hearing

I'm not taking a pay cut just to avoid traffic when I can take the train lol. Obviously you don't live or work in a city and that's fine dude, nobody's taking your car away. But a lot of other people do and they'd be served better by a good public transit system

My buddy was in the Russia-Ukraine war, he destroyed two ammo warehouses and 16 Russian howitzers. He was the worst worker at the shell factory

I have an E46 BMW with a manual transmission. I like driving but not commuting. It fucking sucks to be in traffic at 5:30pm surrounded by other tired and pissed off people also trying to get home. I like to drive on country roads on the afternoons and weekends
@mpopv
It’s an insane sentiment to begin with because a lot of “corporate” landlords are actually REITs owned by retail investors or pension funds. Meanwhile your average individual landlord is almost certainly very wealthy

It's so fucking funny that overpopulation anxiety and republican trickle down economics are turning out to be the most effective anti-China psyops ever devised
@alz_zyd_
Yeah I don’t know how else to describe it except calling it a culture of rizz, it’s a huge difference I noticed coming here from Europe as a kid

What do you mean can't support? The reason you have sprawl is because cities refuse to build enough apartments for their labor force
@NotABigJerk
At that depth, the pressure is so great that a hull breach turns the submarine into a giant diesel engine cylinder, where the water is the piston, the air is the air, and you are the fuel
@RiverTamYDN
Also the business equity is likely the owner’s retirement fund, he’s not going to give it to you for free, so you’d be buying yourself a job
@ramit
A personal finance coach telling millionaires what to do with their money is like a little league coach giving major leaguers advice on how to swing the bat
@Maks_NAFO_FELLA
To save the Vatniks some time, I'll list all their copes here:
-False flag
-CIA lies
-Zelensky trying to start WWIII again
-Biden trying to start WWIII
-MI6 lies
-Zimmerman telegram
Did I miss any?
@Tendar
Sounds like a pretty easy plan - go in, make a shitload of noise and attract maximum attention, and sneak out before the Russian state stumbles into action. Bonus points if you get them to shell their own villages
@revhowardarson
"The CIA is evil and lies constantly for the benefit of the American military-industrial imperial machine" vs "The CIA itself admits that X was better under communism than in capitalist countries" is an unresolved tension in a lot of leftist commentary about the Cold War

@Szabadsag1956
This is literally what they tried to do in Ukraine the first 3 days lmao, right down to flying paratroopers into the capital
@vodk_anon
The 2S7 parked on a street in Kyiv with civilian traffic nearby was pretty insane. Really, anything from the Kyiv region in the first month of the war. It just hits different, even compared to footage from regional cities like Bakhmut or Mariupol
@ArmandDoma
I love exercise and going to the gym is my hobby but there's definitely a catch-22 where working out is a lot more fun if you're already fit
@Nexuist
You’re comparing apples to oranges because Waymo and Tesla don’t have to pay for the roads their cars will drive on. It’s also a lot easier and cheaper to make a self-driving train than a self driving car if you want to compare them that way

Somebody needs to make a meme that's the reverse of the "this is fine" dog, where everything around him is great but he's saying everything is terrible

Nuclear war would *also* change the climate. Plus, you know, hundreds of millions of people getting killed would be worse than any climate disaster we can conceive of
@Elle_B_J
So much leftism is just people trying to find a substitute for religion. Instead of praying, you think about kids in Gaza. Instead of judgment day, you fantasize about the Revolution where the wicked are separated from the righteous and faith gets rewarded with paradise
@besttrousers
I also wonder how much of the vibecession is people who got used to cheap VC-subsidized goods and services (Uber, Netflix) that are going away now that the gravity's been turned back on

@cheer_wine
I am told the insane salaries for doctors are justified because of how expensive MM insurance is, so what’s the point of the insurance if we’re not supposed to sue doctors in the first place?
@GravitysRa1nbow
Man I don't even know what to tell you it looks like the entire McCarthy speakership just disintegrated immediately on contact, from what I'm seeing Kevin doesn't have a staff anymore
@thechosenberg
I'm torn, on one hand I assume this is mainly for people who have absolutely nothing going for them, on the other it's good to dispel the myth that "it's over" by a certain age
@flglmn
The trads are yearning for a world of affluence and full employment where everyone commutes by car, yet the roads are empty during morning rush hour
@quantian1
Imagine having to freeze and starve in a trench in Kherson so a football player with CTE and a TV doctor who sells quack weight loss supplements get more votes from people who don't know where Ukraine is on a map

One of America's underrated strengths is that we often look like we're on the verge of collapse and it leads our geopolitical rivals to do stupid shit like this

Foreign policy blunders by the US, stretched thin during the War on Terror, have left a gaping hole in the Middle East and Africa that other great powers are seeking to fill
@ryxcommar
“Poor people rely on crime to survive” is such a giveaway that you’re privileged too. Poor people don’t get to call daddy to bail them out of jail and get a lawyer to get them off with probation. A night in jail isn’t just a cool story you get to tell your friends,

They can just buy it from the Ukrainians or trade other equipment for it. One T-90M isn't a game changer on the battlefield

Looking backwards at what you think your heritage entitles you to instead of forwards to your own future is the trait of a coping European. Try to achieve something in life besides being white

Given the performance of US intelligence this winter, NATO will have Putin's launch order before the Russian missile crews do

A lot of leftists cheered on the Yemeni pirates because they thought sinking some cargo ships would bring about the end of capitalism. They literally want to outsource the revolution to third world countries
