The analogy is never Germany.

It's Argentina. Guy delivers some things for rabid base, has likeable wife (to some), gets Broadway show out of it.

This guy's not even got the likeable wife.

Duh. It's like Phoebe on Friends and her grandma's chocolate chip recipe. It's Tollhouse.

You're millennials, nothing is original, you're all corporate microplastics come to life.

Learning the Dutch don't take off their shoes indoors and uh why does that country even need to exist? Abolish it and give it to Indonesia as reparations.

I don't often do a mass block but I have a few in mind that with the resuscitation of Blockenheimer I just might have to. Skywatch (praise be unto faine) catches a lot but there's some influence ops getting through.

Imagine losing your "good govt job" because you decided to defraud the government over a Coach bag. Pathetic. Should be locked up for life.

The name brand bags, the fakes, the BMW, all of it. Which would be fine if they weren't bringing it into the agency. No one needs a Coach bag for a fucking projector. No one. Certainly not a federal agency, but the women doing the procurement insisted. Because then they could show it off.

Some 20 plus years ago I remember working at an agency with a lot of people who were undoubtedly the first of their family to have a middle class job. Largely a good thing but the desire to do conspicuous consumption was constant for a lot of them.

I don't care for either of them but they're by far not the worst people on here. There's a lot of juicing attempts and a lot of follow farming. If someone follows someone doing 1488 that's a blocking of everyone.

And you can do that and I can choose differently.

A lot of biggish accounts on here try to juice that by not just blocking or detaching but trying to feed and it doesn't work. I do need to go back and block everyone who follows a few monsters on here.

Bsky is a format that rewards interaction and promoting the things you find interesting, not a format that rewards controversy and ragebait.

Leaving and re-entering the country before then but both via surface travel.

Thanksgiving is going to be actually unprecedented, especially if things are still closed.

Oh so you like being constantly disappointed by people who despite hours of education on the glories of labor refuse to Stakhanovite through things? You probably even indulge the nomenklatura with consumer goods.
