My YTD return on my 401k is 16%. If a billionaire can’t make 5% they’re not much of a billionaire.

Daylight savings time is a failed experiment. Permanent daylight savings has been tried and was quickly repealed. Sending children to school in the dark is stupid.

These “Democrats in tight races” are doing what they need to do to win and will toe the Pro-trans party line once they’re elected.

I pretty much used to vacation in Vegas exclusively but with resort fees the value isn’t there. I priced airfare and a week of hotels in NY vs Tokyo and Tokyo is much cheaper. I’ve gotten too used to easy access to cannabis so that and communication in English are my priorities for my next trip; I’m targeting Vancouver.

“It was not a mistake,” I’m just that dumb.

It’s been 10 years but the 2016 republican primary cycle was absolutely bizarre. Presumptive favorite Jeb fizzling out before he started and the rest of the field of very established politicians being unable to handle an infant of an opponent. It took Russian interference and Comey’s bizzare skullduggery to put the nail in Clinton’s coffin and even then she won the popular vote by over 2%. Sitting in a liberal bubble, I’ve been gobsmacked by his support and his “wins.”

25% of Americans endorse this.

I want to ask Trump voters how, exactly, was Kamala supposed to do worse? Double tariffs? Invading all of South America and losing two wars in the gulf?

Their idiocy is weaponized with social media and omnipresent gambling. Social media wasn’t really real for me until I was well into my 20s and gambling was 4 hours away in Vegas. Even though I quit Facebook in 2011 and never got into twitter/insta/tiktok, I still posted on reddit for dopamine hits from strangers and bots.

This is as smart as he’s ever felt about himself.

I voted blue and donated to contested races as much as I could afford. I am too lazy/socially anxious to canvass or do anything active like that. In my bubble, there was plenty of Kamala hype and even though I didn’t believe it, all I could do was ask anonymous online strangers to vote and hope enough of them voted my way. I shouldn’t have been surprised at the power of racism and sexism in the country but it was still a shock to the system. In my circles supporting him was utterly unthinkable so I have no explanation on how it happened.
