      if you could go back to high school, would you? (You do not get to keep knowledge accrued since; you go back to High School as you were at the time)

      Brock Lesnar and Ngannou being legitimate 290+ pounds human being before weight slimming/cutting time is insanity. Even more insane are people who somehow believe these people are natural.

      Battlefield 6 will be a case study of fumbling the bag

      Not the money bag, but the goodwill of the playerbase bag

      So I had this girl over. Everything was going good until she asked if we could watch something. I said yeah, I got movies. She said “Netflix?” and I laughed because obviously I don’t use that DRM trash. I pirate everything.

      She got real quiet when I said that and kind of made a sour face when I pulled out the HDMI cable(?) I tried to hook my laptop up to the TV but the HDMI wouldn’t work. I told her it’s because X11 is fighting with my Nvidia drivers, which is Nvidia’s fault, not mine. She was already on her phone scrolling TikTok while I was typing commands.

      After like 10 minutes I got the screen working but then there was no sound. I had to open PulseAudio Volume Control and mess with the outputs. She asked if we could just use her phone and I said no, I don’t want to watch garbage on an Iphone.

      Finally I gave up and said fine, we can use Netflix. I subscribed, logged in and it just gave me a black screen with an error about Widevine. She started laughing at her phone and typing fast. Then she got a call. Some dude’s voice. She talked to him for like five minutes right in front of me, all giggly. Hung up and said “Oh my god, my brother’s car broke down, I gotta go help him.”

      I said “I can fix it, I know cars” but she was already putting her shoes on. She left super fast.

      I don’t get it. She was really into me before the movie thing. I texted her today asking when she wants to hang out again but she left me on read. What did I even subscribe Netflix for???

      So in 2024 I met John Lovett but I didn’t know who he was and now every time I see him appear on my feed or on TV it’s a little bit of a mindfuck lmao

      Super nice guy

      While I do think that Philippe’s analysis here is mostly right, what I do think he’s missing in his analysis is the fact that Americans seem to have a much lower tolerance for economic pain than most countries, even other developed countries. An electorate for whom foreign policy has little salience and would throw out a government for gas prices that are above $4 a gallon isn’t going to appreciate any amount of economic pain over the Iran War
