I know a surprisingly large amount of MAGA/Trump adjacent fans because of my type of work.

• They’re all single dudes. Maybe divorced. Maybe never went on a date.
• There’s Joe Rogan involved.
• After a few beers, they all will unprompted share their views on Jews, blacks, trans, lesbians, or some other racist shit then back off and pretend it’s just a joke.
• Tell them anything involving empathy “Sorry your dog died” is met with silence or coldness.
• They all don’t give a shit about anybody else besides themselves. And often see themselves as the victim. “Oh Trans person was brutally beaten? Yeah it’s a violent world like one time some guy threatened me gotta stay strapped.”
• They may not like Trump’s antics. But to them, the Democrats aren’t helping THEM. Remember that lack of empathy?

Explain relationship between people using the Fediverse. Please and thank you.

Same. As I got older, I feel like I am winning. I celebrate 10+ years at my career (jumped three jobs). I no longer drink myself to sleep, instead I drink casually. Im married and secured in my relationship.

My legs feel a bit weaker and my body isn’t at its peak. But I have a lot of successes in so many other directions.

I won $100 Wendys gift card from a tweet. I cheered like I won the lottery.

Proudest day of my life. Oh and I guess the birth of my children.

Thank you Mr. Trump for protecting the Millionaire and Billionaire class.

They did that when I was a kid too.

Most Handsomest Male teacher was absolutely a survey question.

But kids got in trouble if we did the Female teachers.

And the answer was Ms. Ellis.

Not because she was a bombshell, but because she wore cute floral dresses. Get your mind out of the gutter.

Let’s stop pushing for late nights going down on the dance floor.

And normalize late nights going down on some rotisserie.

Yeah this is the truth.

Bartender friend I knew bragged about how he always underpaid taxes. Guy was a UFO/lizard people run banks/illuminati kinda guy and even bought crypto and NFTs.

Well, he made big bank and quit bartending. Big show of it and bought everyone drinks for the whole night because he was practically a millionaire. (Assuming. Didn’t really ask)

But came back last year because he needed to make money and constantly blames the IRS for taking everything.

I work in marketing so I look at a LOT of stock photos. And every time I go, “Ah yeah AI garbage”, i find the source date is from 1990s or something. So my paranoia is way up there now where I don’t think I’m going to be able to tell in a few years.

“We didn’t look at the game. We didn’t talk about the game. We talked about the characters and the world. So I never felt limited by it being a game.”

The quote is amazing.
