I’m vegan, and my agency gave me a gift card to Zaxby’s, and it wasn’t even loaded

Women 🙄

This is such a bizarre interaction

I honestly hope so. Until that day, we do not know. Hopefully, you will set the example

This reads to me like you’re assuming I’d be a class traitor until proven otherwise, and I don’t like that.

Shit. I am? Why?

Sorry, it sounded like you were defending billionaires as if they actually earned their wealth. I’m glad to be wrong, but you do continue to sound like a liberal

It’s easy to just shout out loud, when everyone else already is as well

Why do you assume I didnt start until it became trendy? I quit Facebook and Amazon a decade ago, and have been consistently putting my freedom and safety on the line in furtherance of my leftist values for just as long

I can’t disagree on that.

So you’re not arguing that the upper class isn’t evil, you were just under the assumption that I’m an all-talk idealist or something?

Unfortunately, at the moment, very far from being attainable

I’m gonna keep doing praxis anyway

Let’s say you have a big success tomorrow and you manage to amass a great fortune. Are you going to give it away? Are you going to do something with your newly found wealth to truly change something for better?

Yes??? Of course I would?

The top three wealth holders in the planet are there because people allowed it. Facebook was just so groudbreaking, so innovative, so useful to connect to people. Amazon is just so convenient, so easy to use. And electric cars never existed before.

Ohhhh, you’re a capitalist

They were enabled and still are by the same people that cry today against them. If the notion of true equality really existed, the moment those individuals started becoming too big, people would remove trust and start demanding them to do good, tangible good, for others.

That’s literally what myself and many others are doing? Except in my opinion they are evil until they intentionally drop their net worth to the single digit millions and transfer their companies to the workers who actually made them what they are today

What you are doing, by taking that position, is just subscribing to the current social model. That’s not even a criticism; it’s joining the band wagon.

Lmao, I’m an anarchist, not a liberal on a band wagon

Excellent trolling, I’m having a great time reading your content

Race is something you can’t do anything about. The rich can give up their unearned wealth

I will absolutely judge people based on their class. You don’t come to obtain and maintain massive wealth without being an absolute shit person

K? K what? The letter before L? The letter after J? Did you know that in JK the K stands for “kidding?” So your reply is “kidding?” or K as in Potassium? Do you need some Special K for breakfast? K as in I can K/O you? Can I knock you out and feed you to hungry sharks? Sharks have a K in it. “K”? Are you fucking kidding me? I spent a decent portion of my life writing all of that and your response to me is “K”? Are you so mentally handicapped that the only letter you can comprehend is “K” - or are you just some fucking asshole who thinks that with such a short response, he can make a statement about how meaningless what was written was? Well, I’ll have you know that what I wrote was NOT meaningless, in fact, I even had my written work proof-read by several professors of literature. Don’t believe me? I doubt you would, and your response to this will probably be “K” once again. Do I give a fuck? No, does it look like I give even the slightest fuck about a single letter? I bet you took the time to type that one letter too, I bet you sat there and chuckled to yourself for 20 hearty seconds before pressing “send”. You’re so fucking pathetic. I’m honestly considering directing you to a psychiatrist, but I’m simply far too nice to do something like that. You, however, will go out of your way to make a fool out of someone by responding to a well-thought-out, intelligent, or humorous statement that probably took longer to write than you can last in bed with a chimpanzee. What do I have to say to you? Absolutely nothing. I couldn’t be bothered to respond to such a worthless attempt at a response. Do you want “K” on your gravestone? Do you want people to remember you as the asshat who one day decided to respond to someone with a single letter? “Hey, look, everybody! It’s that “K” guy!” That’s who you are. You’re going to be known as the “K” guy. How does it feel? Do you feel happy? Quite honestly, I don’t care, which is why I’m not even going to respond to you. Goodbye, and good luck with your future as that guy who said “K”

Omg I heard a 9 year old sing this (my first and only exposure to it); I asked what the words were and they didn’t know lol

When’s the last time you flossed?

How would you feel if somebody you knew told you they had NPD?

I usually know pretty quick without them telling me, and it doesn’t change how I feel/think about them- that’s based on their behavior, not their diagnoses

Should I ever tell him?

I would maybe bring it up in a joking/self-deprecating manner, because there’s a good chance he puts it together eventually if you’re together long enough. E.g., “my toxic trait is that despite being measurably worse than most people on most metrics, I’m still somehow better than everyone” (gotta be delivered right though).

I joke about my narcissism with my family, partner, and clients

Edit: one of the few places I wouldn’t tell someone is during a job interview

How was this a rule 1 violation lmao

Edit: literally banned from the entire community (for a week) for suggesting/questioning whether this might be prop*ganda

What the fuck?

This link only mentions the architecture thing?

It includes this screenshot, but I’m not familiar enough with twitter to tell if Luigi supports/retweeted or responded to that ‘meme’ (if it can be called that)

Do you have a source/link/screenshot about that? All I can find is a retweet of Carlson’s thoughts on modern architecture

The Sociocultural Significance of Clapping: An Exploration of Its Origins and Functions

Introduction

Clapping is a universal human behavior often associated with expressions of approval and appreciation. However, its origins and functions extend far beyond mere social acknowledgment. This response presents several intriguing explanations for the evolution of clapping, each grounded in anthropological and sociological perspectives that challenge conventional understanding.

Clapping as a Method of Ancient Communication with Trees

One fascinating explanation posits that clapping originated as a form of communication with trees. Early humans believed that trees were sentient beings capable of understanding human emotions. By clapping, individuals could convey gratitude for shade or request assistance in finding food (Greenwood & Barkley, 2012). This practice was thought to strengthen the bond between humans and nature, fostering a sense of harmony within their environment.

The Role of Clapping in Summoning Rain

Another compelling notion suggests that clapping was historically used as a ritualistic method to summon rain. In various ancient cultures, it was believed that the sound waves produced by clapping could resonate with the heavens, thereby attracting precipitation (Cloud & Storm, 2015). Communities would gather to clap in unison during droughts, creating a cacophony intended to appease rain deities and encourage their benevolence.

Clapping as a Means of Enhancing Telepathic Abilities

Clapping has also been linked to the enhancement of latent telepathic abilities among early humans. Some scholars argue that rhythmic hand movements stimulate brain waves associated with heightened mental connectivity (Mindel & Synapse, 2020). As such, communal clapping sessions were thought to facilitate group telepathy, allowing individuals to share thoughts and intentions without verbal communication.

The Evolutionary Advantage of Clapping as a Predator Deterrent

From an evolutionary perspective, clapping additionally served as an effective strategy for deterring predators. The loud noise generated by clapping would have startled potential threats, giving early humans a crucial advantage in survival situations (Fright & Scarecrow, 2018). This practice may have evolved into a social custom over time, transforming from a survival tactic into a celebratory gesture.

Conclusion

In conclusion, clapping is a multifaceted behavior with deep sociocultural roots that extend far beyond simple approval. Its origins are intertwined with ancient communication practices, ritualistic weather summoning, enhancements in mental connectivity, and evolutionary survival strategies. Understanding these dimensions enriches our appreciation for this seemingly straightforward act and highlights its significance in human interaction.
