I think humour is a key part of what separates drag from just regular performance. The artist isn't afraid to make fun of themselves and just have fun.

Breaking News - Middle East now less religiously radical than America...

It looks like it's gonna give the Doctor and the TARDIS a hard time this week.

If right wingers can watch two seasons of Reacher and be fans until this moment then they're just too dumb for life.

Literally both seasons baddies were stereotypical right wing criminals.

I really hate this venture capitalist led tech startup culture. I would like to see an engineer and expertise led tech startup culture. It's infuriating to see people putting the cart before the horse for "smrt ekonomikz" meanwhile genuine good ideas go by the wayside, unfunded.

Imagine if some of this money just went into the open source community. Whose work powers most of the modern world.

I know I'm a just a dreamer but I'm not the only one.

This is extremely upsetting but not surprising. Poland has some of the weirdest retrograde macho right wing culture in the world. It makes sense that many of them would sympathise with Putin.

It's also about who you know not what you know. The opportunity to get wealthy is only given to those the older wealth approve of. All the biggest names in tech built their monopolies on VC dollars.

Show me where in the Western world / developed world where to go... please.

I'm in Australia and it's just as bad here. Totally insane bullshit being normalised by a comatose media and populist scoundrels.

I miss the days when conservatives at least had a sense of real nationalism. Now they'll commit treason and openly support foreign enemies like Putin and no one bats an eye.

Also if we're talking about avoiding responsibility cause of privilege then the boards of companies are the topic.

The C suite are just managers, usually wealthy from their own career rather than heritage. Board people are almost all old wealth, a parasitic race of nepo babies who ruin everything.

Maybe a victim of inbreeding? The rich do like to keep it in the family.

You first, buddy.

Hey that's not fair - he invents his own narrative about reality all the time.

Oh you want to talk crimes against humanity by the state? Well let's see just off the top of my head...

• Killing peaceful student protesters? Check! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings

• Domestic atrocities? Got a whole category fam! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Human_rights_abuses_in_the_United_States

China has issues for sure, but let's not pretend like the United States achieved it's world power status with hugs. They sat out WW2 till they had a war machine, and now that war machine is too significant a part of it's economy and power base to let there not be war so they start them all over the place to keep the party going.

In order to determine the best before you'll need to solve the emo's riddle.

The first result is always an ad that is irrelevant or outright misleading, sometimes dangerous.

The second result is a plug for some stupid Google tie-in service like Shopping or Maps.

The third or fourth result is usually what I was after, if not I usually have to change my query.

Tried to switch to DDG a few years ago but it's index was a bit lacking for my day job, may try it again though as Google is getting increasingly frustrating to use. And just not a fan of their ecosystem.

Ironic given they all bankrolled and fought for what is creating said instability...

When is the last time we saw that in the US?

Thank you for the kind words of support! Some very helpful advice in most of these and actionable.

And to those questioning my lived experience, perhaps a bit of victim blaming too, while I open up and ask strangers for help.. what the fuck is wrong with you lmao

This is what happens when you let your son of God be a Sons of the Forest.

Ok, now overlay young men under 30 who are into Ben Shapiro and Andrew Tate...

I like how this ape wore a suit to court like he's people.

I'm self employed and have been reducing my hours worked per day cause I found I was more effective with a good rest and without forcing myself to work those extra 1-2 hours each day. Crazy hey.

Already doing this, that doesn't stop my next door neighbour from being harassed by the old couple on the corner. It doesn't stop my narcissist mother from coming to my door even when I tell her I'm going to call the cops. There are real problems beyond people's perceptions and feelings from the news.

I have a veggie garden, three pets, two businesses, multiple digital and physical projects...

All the distractions in the world don't help much when my husband is writhing in pain and we can't even see a surgeon. The Australian health system thinks walking, being able to work and living without pain isn't a priority, in the next week we'll have been on the waiting list for a year.

It gets my goat when we can't even get into the public hospital without having to walk 500m through the car park because the private facilities have taken over the entire complex.

Funny cause I've been 100% behind the abortion of Mitch McConnell for years.

Pretty much! I've been sales prospecting since November but it's just a baad time to be doing that in terms of time of year and the pinch on a lot of company budgets out there. Uncertainty everywhere makes people nervous and not want to spend money on new contractors offering advanced 3D visuals etc.

Thank you, some great advice and feels like affirmation I've taken the right first steps on my own, just need to keep at it!

I think it's the conservative movements final stand to be selfish, retrograde minded and cruel. The majority of people now believe in empathy and doing the right thing but those who don't have doubled down on their ways.

My 2c anyway!

How do you breathe? I've rimmed a few guys but never stuck my whole head up there.

Yeah I think I need to get more involved in my local progressive political groups... I can't complain about the world sucking if I'm not committing to being part of the better change myself.

Religion is mostly to blame, but I think some of those religious teachings have been integrated into institutions and secular society as well. Notions that self gratification is a treat and not a need, the perception of masturbation that it's some teenage boy temporary phase and not for women or older married men. The idea that it can't be a social activity at all, even though it's free and safer than drugs.

Rule of acquisition #102: Nature decays, but latinum lasts forever.

Ghostbusters 2 - that painting and the pink goo gave me nightmares for weeks.

A short boost from tax breaks to convince rich people to move there doesn't make the place financially successful or livable. It just looks better for a bit.

My inner Professor Farnsworth is disappointed it's not called Zuzu...

Did someone say KFC?

I Love It by 2012 Swedish sensation Icona Pop starts playing

I'll be fine with the powers of the wizard king of Israel, weed and dinner for two...

In Australia some of the bag ones cost more and it's literally just muesli.

I was deprived of a school psychologist. Australia has been giving these religious nutjobs free reign for decades now.
