Kevin makes a very insightful point. I'm taking it to its logical conclusion my running my ideas past the Nextdoor volk
Image Description: A smartphone screenshot displays a social-media group page from the Nextdoor app. At the top of the screen is a banner photo showing a deer facing the camera. Behind the deer is a stack of cut firewood arranged in a neat pile. Below the banner photo is the group’s title in large bold text: “HONEST POLITICAL DISCUSSION FOR ADULTS.” Under the title, it says the group has 114 members. A button labeled “Invite” sits just beneath that information. Further down, there is a prompt that says, “Share something with the group …” Next is a post from a member. The profile photo shows a person wearing a blue cap and holding their hand near the brim. Their username is shown, followed by their neighborhood information. The message reads: “I want to write a constitutional amendment. My first line is, 1. Any foreigner who wants to come over and work here gets a piece of paper that says ‘I get to work in the US’ thoughts?” At the bottom of the screenshot is the browser address bar displaying a Nextdoor group link.

me sitting in a women's space watching the gender police drag rachel brody out for an inspection
The image shows a scene from the television series Game of Thrones. In the center is Daenerys Targaryen, a young woman with long, pale blonde hair. Her expression is calm but unreadable, with slightly parted lips and wide eyes, as she looks ahead. She wears a dark outfit with a large, decorative necklace that resembles dragon claws or teeth. The lighting is dim and warm, coming from flickering torches in the background, casting a soft glow on her face. To her right, a partially visible figure stands in the shadows. The setting appears to be indoors, with wooden walls and a rustic atmosphere. Above the image, there is a caption that reads: "My Favorite Game of Thrones Scenes: #3 Daenerys Watches Her Brother Get Crowned" The caption is ironic—this refers to a dramatic moment in the series where Daenerys’s brother is "crowned" by having molten gold poured over his head, leading to his death.

every bus stop gets to have these cool rotisserie things that Chicago has
The image shows a well-lit outdoor train station platform at night, specifically the Berwyn station on the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) Red Line. Key Visual Elements: Sheltered Area: In the foreground, there is a small metallic shelter with mesh walls and heating lamps mounted on the ceiling. It provides some warmth and protection from the weather for waiting passengers. Station Sign: A large sign inside the shelter reads: "Berwyn" in bold white letters. Coordinates listed: “5300N, 1200W.” A pink strip underneath reads: "Red Line trains to 95th/Dan Ryan via downtown" indicating southbound service. A simplified map of the Red Line is shown below the text, displaying all stations along the route. A pink icon and text for "Elevator" indicates accessibility. Elevator Access: To the right, a glass-enclosed elevator is visible, labeled with signage indicating accessibility, allowing riders with disabilities or mobility needs to reach other platform levels. Platform Details: The platform has a smooth concrete surface, overhead roofing for weather protection, and lighting along the ceiling. A blue tactile strip (used as a safety guide for vision-impaired individuals) is visible near the train tracks. General Atmosphere: The station appears clean and quiet, likely during off-peak hours or late at night, with no passengers in view. This description ensures individuals with visual impairments can understand the layout, features, and accessibility of the station environment.

A smartphone screenshot shows a messaging app conversation with a yellow background. At the top of the chat, one person has sent a link preview from Bluesky Social. The preview includes a small profile photo of a smiling person with long dark hair and glasses. The preview text reads: “Bluesky Social standard (@standard.bsky.social) This beet thread is the entirety of Standard's Constitutional Amendment:” The timestamp next to this message is 4:18 PM, with two checkmarks indicating it has been delivered and read. Below the link preview, the other person replies in a white chat bubble: “Damn” at 4:19 PM. They follow with another message: “That's not a very good amendment bestie” at 4:20 PM. The original sender responds in a green chat bubble: “you gotta start somewhere” at 4:21 PM, also marked as read.

therein lies the brilliance: i haven't argued with Lizquidity about this yet, because i know how the conversation will go!
my plan is to end the argument before it even begins: by doing a year-long Super Size Me but for Soylent and Huel, then publishing my results
an email from someone named "Standard Duong," sent on November 10 to the email address "aspecht@purdue.edu." The sender's name and email address are partially redacted with a thick red line. The email subject line is not visible. Email Content: The message is addressed to "Dr. Specht" and discusses a self-experiment the sender is conducting to evaluate whether California's Prop 65 lead exposure limits reflect actual health risks. The sender is requesting assistance with bone lead measurements. Summary of the Email: The Situation: The sender has consumed plant-based meal replacements (like Huel and Soylent) intermittently over 8 years. These products contain 3–8 micrograms (µg) of lead per serving and come with California Prop 65 warnings. Recently, the sender increased consumption to 3–4 servings per day (totaling 15–30 µg of lead daily), which is 30–60 times the Prop 65 limit. The sender wants to determine if this leads to a measurable increase in cumulative lead levels in the body. What Is Needed: A baseline bone lead measurement to reflect 8 years of sporadic exposure. A follow-up measurement after 1 year of high lead intake. What Makes This Interesting: The sender has documented 8 years of product-specific lead exposure. The current phase involves meticulous tracking of meals in a controlled prospective setup. The goal is to test whether strict regulatory limits align with detectable changes in biomarkers. The sender's blood lead level baseline is currently less than 1.0 µg/dL (as of November 2025). Additional Notes: The sender is based in Denver but is willing to travel. Acknowledges this request is for research, not clinical care, and is willing to cover costs. Data from the experiment will be made available for research use. The study could contribute to understanding the validity of dietary lead exposure thresholds. The email ends with a polite closing: "Happy to discuss further. Thank you for your consideration."

look if it was just Lizquidity being an idiot, I'd ignore her. but multiple people keep crying about the lead and they simply don't care if i tell them "Prop 65 is bullshit and Consumer Reports can go fuck themselves"

(that being said i have a CR subscription)
A person with long dark hair and round glasses is taking a selfie in what appears to be an airport terminal. They have a neutral-to-unhappy facial expression, with their mouth turned downward in a frown. They are wearing a dark red shirt and carrying a black backpack. In the foreground, they are holding or posing with a black mobility aid (possibly the top part of a cane or crutch), which is slightly out of focus. In the background, a yellow overhead sign provides directions to airport gates. It reads: "Gates A1 to A99" "Train to B, C, Gates" The setting suggests the person may be dealing with a travel-related difficulty, possibly involving accessibility or mobility equipment.

This is a screenshot of a social-media post on X (formerly Twitter). At the top, there is a post from a user. Their profile picture shows a person with long light-colored hair and glasses, smiling slightly. Their display name and username appear next to the photo. The post reads: > “i told you guys huel isn’t real food and that there was something spiritually wrong with it. it was so obvious. stop eating that slop! a mcdonald’s hamburger would be better.” Below this, there is a smaller embedded post from another user. Their profile picture shows a simple illustrated sun icon.

This is a scene from the animated TV show The Simpsons. It features a cartoon character named Hans Moleman sitting in a darkened theater or auditorium. He is an elderly man with wrinkled yellow skin, a large, curved nose, oversized round glasses, and just a few strands of hair on his head. He’s wearing a light blue shirt and a dark blue tie. His posture is hunched, and his mouth is slightly open, showing his teeth. Hans has a confused but hopeful expression as he leans forward in his seat. This moment is from the well-known “Boo-urns” meme. In the original scene, the crowd is booing, and when asked if he is booing too, Hans nervously says, “I was saying Boo-urns.” The meme is often used humorously to show support that is misunderstood as criticism.

The image is a screenshot of a Twitter post. At the top, there is a tweet from a user named Maya Luna. Next to the name is a small profile picture showing part of a person’s face, but the person is not identifiable. Maya Luna’s tweet reads: > “The best thing that we could do for indigenous people would be to end all tribal land designations and encourage them to relocate + integrate to modern society (funded by the government) The two tier system is horrible for native people, dooms them to poverty and subjugation” Below this, a second tweet is shown as a reply or quote. It is from a user named Wagon Burner, who also has a small profile picture that is not identifiable. The reply reads: > “Land Back doesn’t mean Indigenous people taking the land from everyone, it means being able to utilize the land as our ancestors did to uplift food sovereignty and have our own self-determination and control of our health.” At the bottom, the timestamp says “1:10 PM · Nov 17, 2025 · Twitter for Android.” Beneath that are engagement numbers showing 60 quote tweets, 51 replies, 74 retweets, 290 likes, and 48 bookmarks.

And because Will Stancil couldn't just let me make a truthful joke about him and his close friends:

When people bring up the attempted restraining order against Armand Domalewski, he carefully words his response to imply that *only* the opposite happened, and nobody ever tried to file against him.
**Image Description:** A tweet from the user Armand Domalewski (@ArmandDoma) is shown. His profile picture is a small circular photo of a man, and there is a blue verification checkmark next to his name. The tweet reads: *"it is a matter of public record that *I* have a domestic violence restraining order against *someone else*, and it is just disgusting for you to claim the reverse. Go fuck yourself"* The tweet is timestamped at 3:17 PM on April 24, 2025, and has 66 views. Below the tweet are standard Twitter icons for replying, retweeting, liking, bookmarking, and sharing. **Image Description:** A Twitter post (now called an *X* post) by a verified user named Armand Domalewski (@ArmandDoma) is shown. His profile picture features a person in a suit standing outdoors, though details are not clearly visible. In the tweet, Armand writes: > "some YIMBY haters post about me 1x a week to say stuff like “he supports Egyptian slavery”, clip videos to say I’m an addict for “slurring” (English not my first language), accuse me of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE because I have domestic violence restraining order against someone" This tweet is a response to an earlier tweet embedded below it from the account OrganizerMemes (@OrganizerMemes), dated April 19, which says: > "Yimbyism and effective altruism are overwhelmingly correct philosophies unfortunately adopted by the most annoying sf tech bros" Below Armand’s tweet, engagement metrics show: 9 replies, 184 likes, 6 reposts, and a share icon. The post was made on April 20, 2025, at 2:57 AM and has 17.8K views.

The image is a screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter). The background is dark, showing the platform’s dark mode. At the top, there is a user named Frank Heffley with the handle @FranklinHeffley. The profile picture is a simple black-and-white cartoon drawing of a man’s head, similar to the style of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid illustrations. This is a fictional, cartoon character, not a real person. To the right of the name is a “Follow” button. Frank’s post reads: “Just so you know, Frank Heffley is a very common name!” Below his post is a smaller embedded post from another user named Tristan Snell, dated December 19, 2023. His post includes a small headshot photo, but the photo appears small and partially cropped. The text of his post reads: “BREAKING: Epstein list will be UNSEALED and PUBLIC, per a new court order from a federal judge in NYC. Over 150 associates of Jeffrey Epstein will be …” The embedded post cuts off at that point. At the bottom of the screenshot are engagement metrics showing: – 52 replies – 2.5K reposts – 64K likes – 1.7K bookmarks The timestamp at the bottom shows Frank’s post was made at 6:01 PM on December 27, 2023, using Twitter for Android.

They had a moratorium on Mamdani posts for the last few months because I assume there was enough pushback from the lower decks to stop both-sidesing. But then they broke the moratorium two weeks ago to bothsides Mamdani vs. Cuomo
A screenshot of a Twitter search for posts from the account "@CNLiberalism" mentioning "Mamdani". The "Latest" tab is selected. The screenshot displays three tweets from the account "New Liberals" (@CNLiberalism), each discussing New York politician Zohran Mamdani. First tweet (Top of image): Posted on October 29 The tweet reads: "- Mamdani won’t support rezoning in Long Island, and is refusing to endorse props 2-5, despite his past overtures to abundance Cuomo is opposing housing in Elizabeth Street Garden, and is clearly a nimby, but also supports prop 2-5 bc he wants more power NYC politics is cursed" Attached below this tweet is a quote tweet of another post by journalist Emma G. Fitzsimmons (@emmagf), posted October 28. Her tweet reads: "Zohran Mamdani declined to say whether he supports the Long Island City rezoning which faces a major City Council vote this week." She includes a cropped screenshot of Mamdani’s public statement. It reads: "I've said time and again that I will always appreciate and celebrate the prospect of building more housing in New York City, and I also am someone who believes firmly that we should have contiguous Park access between Queens Bridge Park and gantry Plaza. These are incredibly important things that need to be done, and I'm looking forward to seeing the resolution of that." Attached is an image of a chart and two tweet excerpts. The chart is titled "The favorability ratings of Democrats", showing bars for four politicians: Gavin Newsom, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Kamala Harris, and Zohran Mamdani. It shows the percentage of people who view each figure as "Somewhat/Very favorable", "Haven’t heard", or "Somewhat/Very unfavorable." Notably, Mamdani has the highest "Haven’t heard" percentage at 40%. Next to the chart are tweets by users reacting to the data, criticizing the poll for being unrepresentative.

i'm 99% sure it was the head of the new liberals (colin mortimer) who tweeted it, because a day after i made this tweet, I got blocked by both him and the new liberals account
Top Post: User: James Medlock (@jdcdmedlock), posted on June 24, 2025. Profile image: A man's face with glasses, smiling. Text: "I do think it’s healthy for centrists to get a taste of how leftists feel most elections. It sucks! But in both cases you do ultimately have to suck it up and pick a lesser evil" Below this message is a quoted tweet from New Liberals (@CNLiberalism), originally posted the same day, which reads: "Fuck 'em both. Can't believe it's that hard for people to say." This tweet by Medlock has 39 replies, 104 reposts, and 2.4K likes. Bottom Post (replying to the above): User: she’s standard nguyen (@laraaaanguyen), posted at 6:52 PM on June 24, 2025, using Twitter Web App. Profile image: A photo of a woman with long dark hair and bangs, smiling. Text: "for me watching the new liberals turn their back on this basic principle is like in Transformers 4: Dark of the Moon where Optimus Prime finds out that his mentor Sentinel Prime was working with the deceptions to genocide the human race" This post is a dramatic, humorous analogy comparing political betrayal to a plot twist from the Transformers movie. The user mistakenly refers to Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon as Transformers 4 and says “deceptions” instead of “Decepticons.” The tweet has 1 quote tweet, 5 replies, 4 reposts, 144 likes, and 7 bookmarks.
