During a few snow storms during my high school years in northern New York, I tried extremely hard to stay on the phone with various teenage boys but their parents kept making them go outside and shovel.
Also from Southern California, and the first time I had to shovel my driveway I was ready to sell my house and never return to the Northeast ever again

Truth!
I have nothing against you or your regional culture but there is an unbreakable spiritual bond between anyone who has ever had to scrape ice off a windshield while hungover
the annual snowfall required for me to take your city seriously is like 11” minimum. nobody is using 300 days of sun to serve the lord

Famously, in tabloid journalism, three is a trend and I can now definitively declare that MAGA can’t cook. And these are the “foods” they are proud of and want to show off! No wonder they want to rid the country of immigrants and their dangerous seasonings.

My relationship with poetry goes as follows: Person writes a poem. I'm like meh. Person reads a poem out loud, I am prostrated for days.

Personally I these white men just need to assimilate to the real Indigenous values of America, responsible stewardship of land & use of resources, cooperative community governance, hospitality, honor of spirit, instead of refusing to relinquish their barbaric European culture, we'd be better off.
Trump is doing 95% of the shit the Declaration of Independence was written about so Miller was kind of spot on about importing the horrors of… England.

Stephen Miller’s ancestors were Jewish refugees from the pogroms in czarist Russia. They came to the U.S. in the early twentieth century, even as racists said this same stuff about them.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

This is true. And finding a little niche in the game is THE BEST
I used to think I didn’t like board games or a lot of games really, then I found out that I just don’t like having to learn how to play a game from people who are bad at explaining it. And because some don’t know, you can play a game very well AND be bad at explaining how to play the game.
