Adult tendencies I hate:

- "Here's a completely humiliating way to save ten cents."
- "I don't know or understand why this stance would benefit me, personally, so therefore I demand lethal force in maintaining it."
- "If I work harder, I'll be rich, too!"

It's bizarre, both sides of the American mainstream are locked in a regression that is all-consuming. More content to disenfranchise criticism of that ideal than identify what could be applied in the here and now with reasonable expectation of success.

The fact is that the modern Right cannot identify WHY the New Deal is beloved, generationally, situationally, ethnically bound to loathe it when they'd have preferred the same racist thug tactics they're trying now.

There's as much a Cargo Cult Liberalism as there is a Cargo Cult Fascism: That a glorified counter-Soviet electrification scheme designed more to halt discontent than build, the New Deal, was somehow supernaturally transcendent, and exactly the same idealized past as "Make America Great Again".

So tired of WoW discourse atm.

Actually, it's the people PLONKING DOWN THEIR MONEY TO PLAY THE GAME that determine what the game should be and do. The grognards haven't PAID to play the game through thick and thin consistently like we Casuals have. We *have* what we want.

Oh dear.

I seem to have accidentally entered a leather store.

Act naturally, don’t immediately turn around, you want to look like you meant to be here but are dissatisfied by the goods.

Hmmm, yes, these black leather ball caps are not up to my standard, good day sir.

Phew!

My favorite thing about “the girlfriend of the founder of Antifa” is there‘s a girlfriend of the founder of Antifa yet still no evidence that there’s one for the founder of the Proud Boys.

The “longtime admirer of Broadway productions” is my favorite part. What’s your favorite part? The lighting? The little face microphones?

Frankly we dont even need women in novels at all. It’s called FICTION, people. I imagined four more genders!

Guys, I'm *into* the occult. Like, into-into.

We laugh at people who wander around talking about "energies" and "auras" and "shadow people" and "ascension" and blah blah blah. We actively sit in our dark room wearing our silly hats, laughing at you.

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.
