Thanks, I needed these references. That was enjoyable.

Is that little red thing a dead body?

Why, are you getting suspicious?

I’m not certain many people even know he was gay. I’ve never heard of this. Interesting info tho- thanks.

It’s [not] funny actually - Trump would absolutely come up with this idea for himself while alive, had it not been done before.
Since it has been done, now he’s going to want a bigger mountain face.

What’s happening here 👀

“small business owners are for the most part Republicans”

What?

So it did help you get up then?

Yes, the US is a mirage of a first-world country.

John said “reading performatively” - so, unless you’re doing that…

the latter of which many look up to

When I read your whole comment, I feel like you’re ascribing the blame in the wrong place. It’s the “many” who choose to look up to these people, using their standards in place of their own, that I would say is the real issue here. Leo doing this does not normalize dating women for looks for me. Neither does Pharrell Williams buying a cybertruck and riding around in it influence or normalize cybertrucks for me. If people want things based on superficial reasons, they’ll learn that it’s only superficial and doesn’t have substance.

I kind of agree - though I’d say they are both about what they’re “doing”, as the small rock can’t do what the big rock can (clear its celestial neighborhood).

At this point I feel this is a self-coup, happening in America.

Safety???

Great. And I am telling you that my experience is otherwise. Also, I’ve never heard USians, that’s a first.

That last bit is definitely not unique to the US. I’ve heard people from all parts of Europe, even when in the US, say they’re from Gloucester, or Antwerp, or Perth, or where have you. It’s not like they immediately say England, Belgium, or Australia every time. You’re definitely nitpicking this point.
