not gonna lie, the weather change can be nice, but i will really dread having to hit the road soon
the way people have been driving it's like they have nothing to live for. i fear one day that someone will pull some dangerous move, and all of a sudden you never hear from me again
drive safe!

bad weather, recklessness, being on the road more. not trying to manifest anything, but just going to have this here as a "stay safe" reminder:
stay safe! make it back home to watch some dirty porno movies at the end of the day (kidding)

One of the best-sketched characters in an incredibly character-rich show: a fascist whose (potentially real!) redeeming qualities are continually undercut by his monumental pride, bigotry, entitlement and pettiness
The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.

I think an important thing to understand about brofluencer ideology is that they do not just deny that being toxic and shitty makes you a less appealing partner, they insist that women are only genuinely attracted to toxic and shitty men and being kind will instead make women lose respect for you.
I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore
