broke: primarying a dem in a blue state from the left

woke: running as a republican in a red state and only revealing your power level once you are in office

bespoke: tricking the electorate into believing that you are already in office

american communists should start a political party called the Incumbent Party since incumbents generally win 85%+ of the time

man i fucking hate squatting lol. it's kind of like an ancient spell or something, in that it's like a 10 step process where if i fuck up or forget any one of the steps i can basically fuck up my quality life for several days / permanently if i fuck it up really bad. people online say that it's not necessarily bad to do if you have preexisting back problems but idk, maybe my body just isn't the right shape to squat heavy

i didn't see "becoming" in the original comment - you're right that complaining about pants sagging was already old hat by 2010, i was just trying to say that despite that people were still complaining about it

"Pants on the Ground" came out in 2010

me at 19: this country fucking sucks. i want to live abroad

me at 23: i guess that's unfeasable. maybe i'll live in a different state at least

me at 26: ok so that's probably also not gonna happen. hopefully one day i'll live in the city that's an hour and change away from my hometown

me at 30 (projected): what if i move my bed from one side of the room to the other. that'd switch things up a bit i reckon

spoilerfirst guess was DRC, only guessed ethiopia on the second to see if it was in that neighborhood - had no idea coffee was such a huge part of their economy

it's kind of funny that they gave Mayor Pete the transportation secretary job just in time for all of our transportation infrastructure to turn to dust. boeing, railroad union strikebreaking, train derailments, bridges collapsing, selfdriving vehicles being allowed to run down people in the street, everybody buying trucks the size of elephants. they could've given him veterans affairs or something and not only would it have been more fitting it also would've been a much quieter post but now if he tries to run for president again he'll have so much shit to answer to. not a guarantee that it'll sink him or anything but it will be a lot tougher than it could've been

mostly unrelated but i hate the phrase enshittification. it's so ugly and reddit-esque. why can't we just call it content decay or something like that instead
