I mean, how many people is Rowling guilty of human trafficking?

So your argument pretty much falls apart

Trying to make this claim without looking at Grimes’s followers standard-issue posts is very funny.

So your argument is that weebs are musk stans/MAGAts?

My argument is that Musk stans are often Weebs and MAGAts.

I mean, scratch a Musk-stan and you’ll likely find a Weeb who is also a MAGAt. These aren’t exclusive.

There are a dozen teenage sailor moon cosplayers who likely have restraining orders to the contrary.

I mean, the cycle started with the implementation of capitalism. Italy was functionally feudalistic (particularly in the southern territories) until the mid-19th century, with state power relegated to a hodgepodge of principalities. It’s only really been a unified country since 1870 and lagged on industrialization until the Cold War Era, when the US Marshall Plan made it an industrial and shipping beachhead for NATO-bloc manufacturing and trade (as well as a military base to strike out at North Africa and the Middle East).

The waves of Italian immigrants weren’t fleeing capitalism. They were fleeing the two World Wars and the industrial collapse of Europe. Americans, by contrast, won’t experience the same immediate socio-economic pressures to leave. So I suspect a lot of the reverse-migration we’ll see to Italy will be coming from an American wealthy middle class seeking to retire into a post-industrial retirement playground rather than an Italian underclass seeking gainful employment and safety from chronic civil wars and invasions.

Italy is going to be more like Florida in the 1990s than New Jersey in the 1920s.

I was imaging this meme just last week, while my wife finished renewing her Italian passport and stuffing a bugout bag full of Euros.

Too early in the morning for this…

I mean, some people just rub other people the wrong way. Like with cats and dogs. Cultural differences, aesthetics, body language and the reflexive responses, natural aversions… they all play a role in a first impression.

Politeness is about getting past those initial impulses and giving one another an opportunity to prove they’re more than what they appear at first blush. And about dampening your own eccentricities so as not to startle or offend inadvertently. But politeness is a learned skill, while reflexive responses are innate. People make whole careers out of diplomacy and decorum. You shouldn’t feel bad if you fumble it occasionally and you should be willing to give others an opportunity to redefine themselves if they come off clumsy or inept.

Ryan Routh had Lee Harvey Oswald written all over him. He just showed up ahead of the second gunman and pooched it.

CIA fall guys just ain’t what they used to be.

Probably more than three, tbf. We got to hear about the three that got close and not the Discord group where everyone realized they were part of the same FBI counterinsurgency group and then half of them got fired.

American cockroaches live two terms on average. Years. Not terms. I don’t know why I said that.

Incels want to fuck the robot. They want to fuck the robot so badly.

I mean, third reason, he’s labeled as “Homan” which seems pretty close to Human but just a bit off. And that’s simply too on-the-nose for the topic.

Okay, but how do I personally monetize non-honey making bees? Sure, the general ecology needs this, but what’s in it for me, right this instant?
