This is a man who knows how to gling. He is glinging. Yesterday, he _____.
I was a big fan of jreg pre-2020, but after giving up mainstream social media I currently believe that only cowards, frauds, and master satirists feel the need to use irony. It’s arrogant to think you are the third, and I dont think Jreg is either. I think he is a coward.
A youtuber who was relatively popular with enlightened centerists around 2019. Links so you can look on and cringe:
He also would attend rallies and spout political gibberist
Extreme/insane positions on everything. Not just one or two insane positions, not just political extremism; when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING. No nuance allowed. And it has to be fully sincere, otherwise you are dealing with a Jreg.
There are milder versions of this, but I have rarely met a child that didn’t have a strongly held insane belief formed from their limited experiences. My favorite was a kid who told me that eating pasta supports fascism because it comes from Italy, so loving Italian products means you support Mussolini. Pizza is fine, though, because that’s American.
I remember back in high school I watched Sexplanations a lot. Introduced me to a lot of concepts I’ve been using to this day. I think I stopped watching her because I outgrew her channel.
Don’t ask the children, they don’t know either
Oh I guess gunpowder is silent now 😆
Me too, buddy. Me too.
BTW. When the DSM-5 talks about “a strong sense of justice” this is what it talking about. It’s not the sense of right and wrong that’s diagnosing, it’s missing the obvious fact that this joke came after what was probably 10-30 minutes of the comedian assessing how many people in the room were ADHD like him, then building up context that would allow the joke to land without hurting anyone’s feelings.
AFAIK he was a Democrat at the time. No clue about now. Don’t really want to find out. I’m hoping he took the chill agnostic route but I’m not checking
So weird to see this without Mr. Incredible twerking
Actually, no. My justification for my coffee intake was “I need it to focus”. So when covid hit, I was out of a job for 3 months, and there was nothing to focus on. I believe there was about 2 weeks of adjustment, but I was too busy binge-watching all of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure for me to notice the withdrawal symptoms. I didn’t even notice I had stopped drinking until I started running the online campaign from my previous horror story and thought “oh, I need to be able to focus, I should make some coffee”, but when I tried to drink what I had been able to just a few months previously it didn’t taste good anymore and made me feel like I was having a panic attack for 6 hours.
I switched to tea, but stopped that when I moved out of my parents basement. I sometimes drink coffee when I feel I need it, but I go weeks at a time without coffee.
If you make it yourself you only have to pay for the cost of materials, which go all the way down to $500 if you don’t care about quality at all. But it takes time to make one, and it takes skill to make one that isn’t embarrassing to look at
I would have loved it too. But the backlash would be intense
Totally agree. But imagine a 4-term Obamna presidency, with the orange avatar of conservative rage building in strength and gathering malice for 16 years instead of 8.
Since Shkshkshk deleted their comment, this is what they said:
Lindybeige was a formative part of my early nerd life. Unfortunately he’s a conservative and it’s a big part of his personality. I do totally agree with him about the British pound being superior to the decimalized euro though. I would literally beat someone to death if it would give me the opportunity to rearrange the values of dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies into something based around a highly composite number like 240 or 360
No, there’s an amendment in our consimtituion that says a president can only be in office for two terms total. The only president who evaded this was FDR and he’s still villainized to this day.
Actually. I’m pretty sure hes the reason that amendment got passed.
I wonder how many of the downvotes are from people who couldn’t make it to the last paragraph because they were too mad at how mean I was being to Pablo and his unregulated ADHD
Thank you! That was very validating to hear. That said, if I said the ADHD was 100% managed now that would be a fucking lie, but I do have actual coping mechanisms that work instead of drinking brain-damage amounts of coffee lol. Progress is progress 🤷♂️
I’m just glad I decided to go full moral relativism right away back then. It was a good way to speedrun maturity, although I did maintain some kooky beliefs into early adulthood such as
It was exhausting. Opposite reason from you, there was only middle ground, no black and white allowed. But it came from the same mental place. Pride, arrogance, nieveté.
