  1. C. Just give me the captive bolt now.
  2. Again, we just told every manager out there - the mountaintop is not good enough.
  3. Galloway has a great example of the double standard of the white guy vs everyone else Often we hear "These white guys need to get off their asses" "These white guys need to be raised right" Replace white guys with black people, women or any other minority group and think of what the fallout of such a statement would be.
  4. That guy was British https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50695593
  5. Don't win a trophy Get to a final, but piss everyone off Win a major European trophy
  6. Rehitting this whole men left behind thing - I've been meaning to get to this for a bit, it's a podcast by Scott Galloway and Anthony Scaramucci (way more intelligent than you probably think he is) that is about this lost generation of males. The basic premise is that we have ripped up the script that males were expected to follow for almost all of history - be the provider for the family unit - and rightly so because now others can pull those duties. But we haven't given them a new playbook of what to do. We tell them you can't do X, Y, Z - again this is not the problem. The problem is that we haven't given them a new script to follow. Again, this isn't my view - this is theirs, and a hopeful guide on how to improve things - IE hopefully not let guys like Andrew Tate and others become their guide on the journey.
  7. It's not even aura. Trump is the president - the guy has real power. A snap of the finger Musk's life becomes VERY difficult. All the things he has made the threat over, contracts, credits, subsidies, etc - those can really come to pass. The toilet? Because that isn't happening.

  10. He's the Trojan Horse we get. I certainly didn't need him. "alllll the dirt"? And then he leads with this?

  12. What the hell is the club doing? They can’t let this Ange decision linger. Shit like this is why Spurs are one of the worst run clubs in the league.

  14. And he financed that $50k too! WTF? Idiot.
  15. I’ll just say this. He’s a piece of shit. He’s pissed his “investment” didn’t amount to shit. And he got shoved out like an asshole because everyone hated him. And he’s pissed. He doesn’t even know how to play the DC game. He posts on Twitter like a dumbass. That’s not going to make any dent. He got used and abused,

  18. "Nevertheless, she persisted" She keeps up that work, I will keep voting for her.
  19. You’ve had the hat for 10 years. You’ve had the presidency for nearly 5 of the last 10. So… why isn’t America great yet? You keep chanting “Make America Great Again.” But let’s audit what you’ve actually done with that time, money, and energy. ⸻ THE TIME DRAIN: A NATION OF WASTED HOURS Let’s break it down: Rallies • Avg rally time (travel, standing in line, event): 8 hours • Avg engaged supporter: 2 rallies/year • Core base: ~10 million people 8 hrs × 2 rallies × 10M = 160 million hours/year That’s: • 18,250 years of productive human time per year • Enough to build 50,000 houses annually • Mentor 1.6 million teens weekly • Earn 3.2 million college degrees Right-Wing Media Obsession • MAGA-heavy viewers spend 15+ hours/week watching Fox, Newsmax, OAN, etc. (source: Nielsen + Pew Research) • That’s 780 hours/year, or 32 full days The average American watches much less political content (approx. 2–4 hrs/week), and consumes a mix of topics. MAGA viewers, meanwhile, are trapped in an endless loop of rage-farming. Social Media Screaming • MAGA users spend 25% more time on Facebook than the average American (Meta internal data leaks show political rage is the #1 engagement driver) • They’re significantly more likely to post, share, argue, and consume political content instead of, say, learning skills, earning money, or helping their communities. ⸻ THE MONEY DUMP: FLAGS, HATS, SCAMS, & GRIFTS • Avg MAGA follower spends $300–$1,000/year on Trump gear, “Let’s Go Brandon” junk, political merch, livestream donations, NFT scams, Trump steaks, etc. • Conservatively: $500/year × 10M supporters = $5 billion/year That’s: • 2.5 million community college scholarships • 40 million school lunches/week • Housing for 300,000 veterans • Dozens of hospitals in rural America • Or—hell—even basic infrastructure in your own towns Instead? You bought a 3rd flag for your truck. ⸻ THE ATTENTION SUCK: MINDSPACE YOU NEVER GET BACK You had: • A decade to develop a skill • A decade to help a neighbor • A decade to serve your community • A decade to build something But instead, you screamed into Facebook threads, got worked up over drag queens and gas stoves, and donated to millionaires pretending to be victims. ⸻ Patriotism Isn’t Performance. It’s Purpose. You’ve had: • The hat • The power • The time • The money But what did you build? The most anti-American thing you can do is waste America. You were born with rights people die for—and you spent them on merch, memes, and messiah complexes. ⸻ It’s not the immigrants. It’s not the media. It’s not the deep state. It’s what you did with the gift of living here. Maybe instead of buying another hat, you should’ve bought: • A shovel • A book • A therapy session • A community garden kit • A ticket to a city council meeting Because freedom is wasted if it’s only used to scream and shop.
