Christmas 2025
Making final preparations. Not too much left to do. Wife is helping preside at the 4:00 service, we’re all attending the 6:00 service tonight, I’ll be the reader for the passage from Matthew. Both kids are here. They couldn’t come home last year; the boy was stuck in Germany with visa challenges due to the backlog of applicants from the war. Yeah, our kid couldn’t come home “because of the war.” Odd phrase to be saying, but there we are. And it turned out to be our last Christmas with my father, who was gone a month later. So, we’re still digging through generations worth of their stuff. 1944. Probably somewhere in France. My grandfather spent a very cold Christmas tending to the P-47s of his unit, hoping they could get in the air to provide some much-needed air support to the troops on the ground holding off the German counteroffensive at the Bulge. A ranching man from deep South Texas, at war in Europe. A few months later, he would cross the Rhine at Worms. Today, his great-grand daughter lives and studies near the banks of the Rhine, downstream at Bonn. The world keeps turning, taking us to places, then back again. Some Christmases are peaceful reveries with family. Some are bitterly cold, in a tent (or worse), unsure of how a war will end. I’m not sure what to do with that truth. I’m glad grandpa Ted came home, and raised my mother, who had just been born in January of that year. I’m glad that our family has gone back to Germany, making friends, and a future. I don’t know what next Christmas will be like. But we have this one, right in front of us. I hope you can spend it with people you love. I hope your tent is warm, wherever it may be.

My son put it more succinctly: “just treat women like human beings, and it all falls into place.” Seriously, all the dominoes fall once you do that. Have give-and-take conversations with women, treat them with respect, actually get to know them…and then it become super-easy to engage with and attract women you’re interested in because guess what? You’ve already run the drill. The boy has several female friends. They do things together, make each other laugh, trust and help each other. That’s the foundation for any healthy relationship, including an intimate one. I mean, does it frustrate me that he just thinks of that super-cute and smart Sarah from Manchester as just a friend? Sure. But the flip side of that is that she’s one of his biggest advocates, looks out for him, speaks well of him to other women, etc. The bigger umbrella problem here is what is pointed out above: these dudes have no social skills AT ALL. They can’t even engage in decent relationship with other guys.

And....that's the part that Bozo etc. don't get. At the first sign of discomfort -- real or imagined, it doesn't matter, so your "empathy" and acknowledgement doesn't make a shit -- white america immediately looks for "others" to sacrifice into a volcano, throw under a bus, deport, imprison, whatever it takes.

Man. This pisses me off. Mostly because there was a day when I really, really, dreamed of having some special quality time with Megyn. But going full MAGA has turned her fucking UGLY. Seriously, MAGA-ugly is ugly to the bone. There's a reason that all the MAGA women have to get the MAGA surgical makeover: MAGA makes you so fucking ugly you have to take emergency measures to counter it.- Trump’s America
Yeah. Guys. Come on. You know this already. It's actually worse than that -- TRUMP VOTERS ACTUALLY LIKE THE RAPES AND PEDOPHILIA. A REAL LEADER TAKES WHAT HE WANTS, AND TRUMP DID IT! A play in three acts: "Women like to be raped." "Women shouldn't be allowed to vote." "Why can't I find any decent women who are willing to go out with me?" Fin.- Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
Yeah....see....when y'all realize that "rapey" is a fucking QUALIFICATION, not a disqualifier, for MAGA....well, the whole movement makes a lot more sense. Alpha men take what they want, from who they want, whenever they want. Raping women, minors, whatever -- those are qualities to look for in selecting a leader. If the candidate does NOT rape women and minors, then he's too weak and woke to be MAGA.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Yeah, there's only one way to fill out that bracket:- I for one welcome our new AI overlords
Man. AI really could have seized the opportunity and bought a lot of good will with a response of "All you can eat buffet? Sure you need that, fatty?" Sez you. I'm a sucker for a gal with a supple, curvy basilar ganglia. The stupid Japanese blur them outta photos, but I've gotta source.....- The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Hey, Cunty McCuntbrain....now try on the next level of thinking. If you were THAT FUCKING WRONG about your judgment as to the most obviously stupid, narcissist, criminal, shitty person in human history....MAYBE consider the fact that you are ALSO that fucking wrong about your political beliefs as a whole. I know, I know, I'm in fantasy land here, but that IS the next step in the logical progression. They'll never get there, because logic isn't a thing with them -- they only grasp concepts when said concepts beats them over the head till a gallon or two of their blood spills.- The Lost Generation essay
1) They look around, and see how utterly fucky and fucked everything is. 2) They presume "surely things weren't ALWAYS this fucked. Surely there must have been a period when things were fair and colorblind and merit-based. Surely things weren't this shitty." Women and minorities, upon hearing point 2: And.... Much like white people have started to realize that cops are by and large abusive, shitty liars who are crooked and have contempt for the rule of law, and minorities have the exact same responses as I noted above. "Powerful people will act corruptly and purposefully divide you so they can completely fuck you over." Yeah, that's always been the fucking case, but you fucking dumbasses thought you were on "team Powerful People" when instead you were ALWAYS on "team Get Fucked."- Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
All of them. At this point, the only rational presumption about a man who supports the GQP is that he is a pedophile himself.- The Lost Generation essay
Lemme translate. “We believed in the CONCEPT of a less racist society, but when we see that the result of that was white men losing their outsized role and presence, which mathematically means a reduction in our percentage chance of success, well…fuck that. We want that Don Draper Mad Men shit back.” Y’all can keep running from that unavoidable conclusion, but you’ll just die tired.- Epstein and Maxwell
God, that's fucking adorable.- I for one welcome our new AI overlords
All the big. We have a regime that is interested only in pouring as much coal as possible into the engine, damn the consequences. The biggest consequence being all the damage done when a massively overinflated bubble bursts. It ain't just about how big it gets. It's about how much damage that ginormous bubble will do when it bursts. Nobody at the wheel seems to care, not even a little bit.- Epstein and Maxwell
"Any information that would make The Lord God Almighty, Donald J. Trump, Peace Be Upon Him, look bad, are fake news." I mean...it really is that simple. If they cast him in a negative light, they are false.- I for one welcome our new AI overlords
Become a pragmatic progressive, and maybe we'll start to get somewhere. Seriously, we all need to start from a standpoint of "presume that everything that everyone else is doing is driven by pure malevolence and greed," then you can come up with some good policy options. But stop even pretending that in this late-stage capitalism world, we're dealing with good-faith counterparties. They want to bleed you of every dollar, and leave your empty husk on the side of the road. Understand that and their motivation, and then you can make educated and intelligent choices.- Epstein and Maxwell
The man confessed to - BRAGGED ABOUT - sexually assaulting women. On fucking video, in his own voice. Not only does it not matter, the truth is that a sizable portion of our country fucking likes it. They think that committing sexual assault is an emblem of power, and they want a strong man. A weak man gets consent, a strong man just takes what he wants and by god, that's the kinda leader we want. You live in a country where committing rape is not only not a negative, it's a positive attribute.- I for one welcome our new AI overlords
"Subsidize good and healthy food for the poor." Further line the pockets of the oligarch class with the maximum amount of dollars that can be hoovered out of the pockets of literally everyone else? Jesus. Come the fuck on. When your premise is "if we lived in a fantasy world where the common good even figured into the equation, instead of being characterized as the greatest evil mankind has ever faced," it's not a fucking premise at all. GTFO of here with that stupid shit.- The Trump Economy
Two things about that data. First, this POTUS has told us quite plainly that he believes that data from such agencies is manipulated. He has fired people at such entities who released numbers that he did not like. The only rational implication of that course and messaging is that the data, going forward, IS manipulated to yield results the POTUS wants. Not accurate results, but rather those that are pleasing to the King, such that the minions do not get fired/beheaded. THUS, the only rational conclusion is that no data coming out under this administration can be trusted. Instead, it should all be rejected as inherently and purposefully subjective and biased. Second, most INDPENDENT analysis I've seen indicates that functionally all of our positive GDP thus far this year is tied to AI and data center construction. Take that out of the mix, and we're flat. And, when you take into account that AI and data centers are just a fucking bubble, that's really important.- I caught the cancer
That's awesome. Know how y'all should celebrate? Make the pitch.- Epstein and Maxwell
I am quite happy that I am among the group of people to whom the following applies: "your name never came up in correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein and Larry Nassar wherein a love for fucking underage girls was discussed." Donald Trump, the President of the United States, is NOT in that group of people. What a time to be alive.- Slutcon (Apropos of Incels, White Male Millennials, Gen Z Nihilism, #MeToo, and Declining Birth Rates)
And as has been discussed around here before, (1) confidence is an aphrodisiac, and (2) desperation is the worst cologne. I am no better looking than I was as a yute, and I was no calendar boy back then. BUT, I have the confidence of a successful man of my age, AND I have no pressure when talking to women because I'm already locked down. So, do I chat up and flirt with women? Absolutely, it's fun as hell. I do it at the grocery store, the bar when I'm traveling, all the usual places. And my casual I-don't-really-care confidence works wonders. On more than a few occasions, I've hit the "oh shit, I better wrap this up, because it's working" point. Which made me realize it is actually remarkably easy to pick up a woman in public. If average old me can do it, anyone can. It just takes some social and emotional intelligence, and unbroken confidence. The problem is, confidence is gained through experience. And these guys don't have any. Which makes them mousy cowards, which keeps them from getting the experience needed to become confident. Step one is "stop being a pussy, put yourself out there, and man up and don't worry about rejection or falling on your ass. Just get up and do it again and again and again. She just rolled her eyes and walked away? Cool. Go up to the next gal. And then the next one. - The GOP Civil War
