lol no. I’m laughing at the way you recommend chatgpt like it’s new or something. You’re basically saying “Google it.”

Idk the name but maybe chatgpt knows

I’ve read (and written) a fair amount of garbage, but I’m pretty sure this is the most hilariously useless response I’ve ever seen. Congrats!

Yeah. People who get seriously into a game, but understand boundaries, can be a lot of fun. I’d go to watch parties for the people, not the game, and they made it more fun (even if it was just because I was laughing at them).

In my lifetime, I’ve met ONE very religious Christian who wasn’t a hypocrite. ONE. He was a very nice guy, though, and I hope he and his family are doing well.

The remaining 99.9% of the time, I’m absolutely with you.

This is the best and simplest answer.

You know what will make you feel better? Learn about early American history, specifically the Revolutionary War and the period shortly before it. Ordinary citizens conquered one of the most powerful militaries in the world. Ordinary citizens. People like you and me. There was no “perfect savior” to lead them, either - George Washington was in over his head at first, but was smart enough to learn from his mistakes.

What’s going on now is nothing to celebrate, but the ani-establishment heroes of the past certainly are.

I’m so glad! Aren’t they wonderful?

It’s an old Simpsons quote, from Dr. Nick, a great side character.

“‘Inflammable’ means ‘flammable’? What a country!”

Haven’t flown in years. Didn’t know this was a thing. Creepy.

Insect claims aside, this…

They have the nervous system of a guitar amplifier.

is a great line.

I do my best to remember that Lemmy’s reach is worldwide, not just full of Americans. When I make a mistake, I think “well, people just assume Americans are ignorant and arrogant anyway, so whatever.”

Non-native speakers who become seamlessly fluent genuinely impress me.

Cheating is a highly emotional issue, possibly even to the point where people who aren’t empathetic will put themselves in the place of your boyfriend. Or maybe they just want to trash talk women under a seemingly legitimate cover.

Whatever their reason, to hell with ’em. I have a lot of respect for people who are willing to put in the hard work and overcome addiction. I wish you the best with your mental health, as well. All that really matters is what you and your boyfriend think. If the two of you are happy, then great!

My guess is that they’re the remnants of evolved biases that were formerly useful, like being able to spot the differences between Homo sapiens and Homo erectus, that we still possess but just aren’t useful anymore. We still have a coccyx (tailbone), but we sure as hell don’t need it.

This could also be completely wrong. I haven’t studied evolutionary biology.

Great example. He just looks like some generic dude in a suit, not the douchebag we know he is.

Agreed. If I didn’t know anything about what a horrible person Lauren Bobert is, I’d think she was cute.

Germany, you say? It’s local name will be something with WAY too many letters.

Edit: Relax, folks. ALL languages are kinda messy in their own way. There’s a difference between a good-natured joke and heartfelt criticism. I’m not criticizing anything. Plus, I’m speaking English, which is an absolute dumpster fire.

My schedule is all over the place, so any day can be my Friday. I just goof off as much as possible while still giving the appearance of working.

No, you’re not being unreasonable. In my opinion, you’re being the more rational one.

I can see why he’s attracted to the idea of living in rural Wyoming, because it’s an absolutely beautiful place. However, the day-to-day practicalities can’t be ignored. If it’s in your budget, perhaps consider a long-term rental (a short-term rental won’t do. It would probably only reinforce his ideas). Once he really feels the isolation, he might change his mind. MIGHT. I don’t really have any better suggestions.
