“Bernie Bro” had that nice alliteration. But maybe you could go with “Uncommies”

Don't think it's the well because the bathroom sink doesn't smell like dirt, just the kitchen. Soaked the faucet head in vinegar for 5 min and it still smells. It's harmless since the water tastes fine and doesn't leave a smell on dishware but it's just weird. Anyone know what might be up? Google says it could be an algae bloom in the well itself.

After January 6, My boss came up to me and said “sorry but I can’t have you working anymore. You’re too white.” I told him I was 5% Cherokee but he said just kept calling me a cracker even though he was also white. While being escorted out by the security (who are now muscular Latina women due to affirmative action), I made eye contact with my boss as he was getting arrested for “anti diversity subversion.”

The Biden Junta decided to take advantage of the new tyrannical fervor from his supporters by unleashing the Swiftie Red Guard onto the population. They’ve been going around smashing important pieces of white culture like Cracker Barrel, confederate statues, and Starbucks. I saw a white woman getting executed for making spaghetti tacos back in 2017.

My wife cheated on me because she was “disgusted” that I have European ancestry even though she immigrated from Germany 5 months ago. I begged her to stay and even offered to sit on a cuck chair but she refused.

My daughter disowned me for being an “oppressor” and banished me and my son to sleep in the shed while she and her friends sing “revolutionary music” like “Blank Space.”

I thought that as long as my son still loved me, I wasn’t truly alone. But he got a DNA test (possibly fraudulent?) that stated he was 95% Russian and 5% Sioux. The Biden regime declared that Russians are not white until 2027, so my son has abandoned me because my ancestry is 95% English.

I’m so alone and lost bros. I can’t even listen to my favorite music to cope because every station is now just Tupac and Taylor Swift. Is it over bros?

This topic came up at work and my coworkers of all genders had no answer. Never met or heard of one.

I don't mean with BetterHelp or some other shit advertised on a podcast. I was looking up some therapists on psychologytoday.com and noticed so many do it online. There are some in person ones near me but they are still like a 35 min drive. I guess my side of the midsized city im in doesnt seem to have much.

active networking is the 10th circle of hell,never in my life have I felt so actively disgusted with myself in a social context. how do you do this without the urge to partiotism or how do you tamp down that urge because oh my god I cannot stomach it, it feels so fucking slimy to do. i can't even do it at events where the sole purpose is networking, my dad pressed me into one and I bailed 15 minutes in after hovering around, it feels so utterly degrading and gross

Some background info: dad got cancer when i was 12, watched him take his last breaths on a hospital bed in the living room, with my mom and sister there. i smoked weed for 18 years but quit last year. I used to have every now and then panic attacks thinking about my existence and what it is and how it will end.

Lately though i've been having all kinds of shit going through my brain. It's unseasonably warm here so i freak out about climate change, ive recently started to be scared of house fires for no reason, and then last night i was on some anxious shit thinking about burglaries. Me and my gf have cats so i get anxious about them if im not at home. I've really become a slight agoraphobe. Was kinda wondering if anyone else had this stuff happening to their brain and what could help it. It's really ramped up the last month or so. I am trying to tell myself that im worried too much about things that probably won't happen but it's hard to trick yourself.

I've been looking up therapists, there's CBT which looks interesting i guess. Part of me just wants a pill to make it all go away.

Would you rather get run over by a steam roller on a cold winter day with a full stomach, or on a hot summer day with an empty stomach?

Did you guys do a bit without me again?

For me absolutely not. I am only diagnosed as "sex disorder", got bad blood results, and I get pushed around, because no one feels qualified to deal with me. I feel like people treat me like a zoo attraction. I had psychiatrists ask me to show them my body and touch me, because they were curious. Doctors get angry with me for not yet being diagnosed, question why I'm not yet diagnosed, don't diagnose me themselves, and then end up telling me they're not qualified enough. And then the next doctor it happens again. They don't even do new tests, they do the exact same tests, then get the same results, then act angry and tell me to find a more specialized doctor. I was told by multiple ones I need a brain scan to see if there's something off there, but then no one forwards me to one. My blood results suggest I will or actively am losing bone density.

I don't want anyone's advice or input on my case tbh. I'm tired of people playing Dr House with me.

I’d like to write more but I don’t tend to like my writing for longer than ten minutes after I’ve written it. I’ve gone through the process of putting in my 10k hours in music and gone through the motions of attempting to build a professional music career, so I generally understand that the sucking phase lasts a long time. I also know a lot of it is jumping into the routine of writing every day. Just curious to see what people have to say.

How come she likes to mash her head into my thighs but when I mash my head into her side she meows at me?

How come she wants to bite my hands and feet but if I bite her she gets upset and runs away?

Someone help me logic and reason with the beast.

It seems to me that conservatism is just fascism with a friendlier face or a type of proto-fascism.

I’ve spent years arguing with people online and really have nothing to show for it aside from my own education and amusement. I was radicalized by discovering r/chapotraphouse back in 2018 I think. Nobody argued with me there, I just lurked, loved the memes, thought it was the funniest place online, then started reading theory because so many people there talked about it. Even though liberals are obviously ignorant about communism, their ignorance is willful: they never thank us for educating them, they always get angry and double-down. (In real life, it’s much easier to embarrass them and get them to shut up.) Still, I admit that it’s possible to change someone’s mind in an online debate, I just haven’t seen it happen when it comes to communism (libs on r/changemyview can change their minds about lib shit). Have you ever seen a lib admit that they were wrong about communism?

I’ve run across cis women making comments like this way too many times for it to not be A Thing. Usually it’s a reason given for them not being a lesbian. Something like, “I love boobs but vaginas are gross”. I’ve also seen it as a reason to not date trans men, but I feel like there’s something going on beyond standard genital preference discourse and the transphobia attached to that. Can someone explain this or am I just being weird?

How common of a bit is the "throwing batteries in the ocean" outside of hexbear?

I just heard someone say out loud, when joking about red flags and green flags in relationships, "My green flag is people that throw batteries in the ocean". And I'm sitting here with my internal monologue screaming at me "AM I BEING DOGWHISTLED HERE? Have I actually discovered a wild hexbear in the wild in the most absurd way? No way!"

Ergo, me here asking if it's a common bit or a hexbear special. if it's the latter, i have a message for the person that said it out loud should you be reading this: I hate you so much meow-hug

I’ve been out of work since last year, and I need to create a company so I can list on my resume, just so I can show recruiters I’ve done things.
