I was a kid-tween during the ‘husky’ era and can tell you it never implied athleticism in the slightest.

It was a nice word for ‘chubby’, cos marketing.

They practically have already, without using the word ‘Democrat’. Read the EO from Sept 2025 where anyone who isn’t pro-Capitalism, pro-Christian, pro-nuclear family, pro-Fascist, and pro-American hegemony was declared an enemy of the State.

No really, read it and ask yourself who it describes and why. I know I recognized more than enough to know where I stand when I read it.

Common threads animating this violent conduct include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.

This reminds me of when my cat would stretch really big in the middle of a nap and fall back asleep right in the middle of the stretch, moving in slow motion back to the pre stretch position. I’d pet him softly as he curled back into a ball, and he’d do this light sigh with a purr rumble.

I miss him so much.

I’ve been thinking of this too.

Don’t doubt for one second that the consumer will foot the difference, every time.

Same with eggs here. They’re still higher than before they were astronomical, but not by much.

Yep, and their pro life stance includes babies with multiple women, who are left to take care of the resulting children on their own while being judged for maintaining a ‘broken home’ by these very same fucks.

2011. I bought one at Target as a nostalgic adult and played with it for maybe a day. Wasn’t nearly as fun as I remembered and they totally changed the features. Kept it as a keychain for a bit then donated it.

Whoa! I just told my partner literally yesterday that lol is the laugh track of texting.

Also Screetch, IIRC from an episode of I Love the 90’s on VH1 like 20 years ago.

It’s a seam that’s ‘pinched’ so to speak, right in the crack of the ass.

Funnily enough it looks like a vertically stretched asshole when not being worn.

It’s mostly this, but the other too.

Again, by design.

Seriously!!!

Remember when most of their grievances were about an overreaching government that dictated how they lived their lives? Now that their party is in power that’s all they want to fucking do to the rest of us.

How does ‘personal responsibility’ translate into ‘I don’t want this and you shouldn’t have it either’?

You’ve put a long form version of a theory I also have been thinking of: we need to do better for future generations by teaching and actually supporting critical thinking skills. I’ll also add empathy, which supports critical thinking and is not always hard wired in every human brain. Both are skills, much like emotional regulation and resilience. Personally, I would have benefited greatly by learning critical thinking and interpersonal skills at the age of 16 vs. whatever ‘algebra’ is supposed to be.

Essentially, and TLDR: We need to teach young developing minds how to think, not what to think. We can do even better by teaching said minds that while we are not defined by our thoughts, we have much to learn by observing them instead.

‘Fuck you, pay me’

The worse it is, the more attention it gets.

Almost like it wasn’t about them in the first place.

I do think this, yet there are current exceptions:

I highly highly doubt Gen Z thinks their time growing up was in any way shape or form better than anyone else. And unless things get better, Gen Alpha will have an even worse perception.

Again, an exception:

While the generations I listed above are still a bit young for nostalgia, I don’t believe their perception of the past will get to the nostalgia phase as they age unless things get much much worse. Currently the oldest Gen Z peeps are ~30 and the youngest ~15.

And they’re in luck! Life now actually may be even worse as it pretty much already is.

I mean, you’re not wrong. And I don’t blame people looking for affordable answers in a system that bankrupts the sick…

However I do blame clown leadership and those that profit and gain power from said people, and this cow pie looking mfer is climbing to the top of that list.

Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
smells like a steak and seats thirty-five…

Canyonero! Canyonero!

Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down,
It’s the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown!

Canyonero! (Yah!) Canyonero!\

(Insert small print fast voice) The Federal Highway commission has ruled the
Canyonero unsafe for highway or city driving.

Canyonero!

12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,
65 tons of American Pride!

Canyonero! Canyonero!

Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!

Canyonero! Canyonero! (Yah!)

She blinds everybody with her super high beams,
She’s a squirrel crushing, deer smacking, driving machine!

Canyonero!-oh woah, Canyonero! (Yah!)

Drive Canyonero!

Woah Canyonero!

Woah!

Wait is that why he talks like that tho?!

He was born during the time when conventional wisdom for expectant mothers’ concerns about weight was a simple recommendation for increased cigarette consumption.

Absolutely. It was a clear attempt at adding ‘perceived value’ by using the word ‘experience’ so many times. He knows what type of consumer he’s speaking to.

These interviews are really just PR opportunities for guys like this (in their perception).
