I once had a flat tire on my way to work and pulled into a neighborhood to change it. I'm putting my spare on, sweating in my office casual clothes and this lady came outside filming me to let me know she called the cops. Not realizing what she meant I was like "Oh thanks, but I should be good". Shes like no "No they're coming to make you leave"

So I finished up changing my tire while she filmed me, cops showed up, asked us what was going on. And she's like "he's faking the tire thing he's planning on robbing our neighborhood" and the look on the cops face was just like

I don't think there's a single person in either my family or my wifes family that isn't some form of Chud

Not like "they seem normal but probably voted for Trump" types but hooting and hollering Trump worshiping types. And then they get mad when we don't want to visit.

Wasn't a homeless man just ran over by a bulldozer last week in the US too?

I was searching for a pdf of Killing Hope so I could quickly find a reference and the first result is the CIA website with a copy of the whole book

I guess it was apart of the files released from Bin Laden's compound but at first I was like "is the CIA just dabbing on us?"

Would like to be added as well! Been >10 years since I read it and that was for college course/wasn't the full thing.

A recent one I read was Killing Hope by William Blum. Took me ages to finish it because every chapter just left me feeling like

Not necessarily explicitly leftist or anti-imperialist but Chaos by Tom O'neill is a lot of fun and brainworm inducing.

It took me way too long to realize the black lines were blocking the usernames and not some hidden message lmao.

"Come here wife Paulette. Infection, rating murder, did it again like JK Rowling, clapped for a wife and two an incel."

My mother-in-law scolded my wife for laughing about it in an instagram post. "A person is dead, how can you write something so hateful. You are condoning violence!".

I said to just reply with a screenshot of all of her posts about marginalized people, immigrants, or Palestinians lol. But also like why the fuck does she give a shit, American peasant mentality is wild.

Youtube's algorithm is like "oh we see you watched a video about Operation Bagration and then another video about Stalingrad, how about this video about how evil the Bolsheviks were or maybe one by Definitely-Not-Fash-Gamer playing Germany in HOI4?"

I love the photo of all them inside but are still standing within the stanchions. Can't disrespect the queue!

The 2020's have had some goofy fuckin half baked coup attempts. Just off the top of my head I can think of:

Prigozhin heading toward Moscow and then being like "jk ", the one in Bolivia where Arce stood there in front of the general telling him no like a misbehaving child, Bolsonaro's attempt, Jan 6 (I guess?), and now this one in South Korea.

Whenever my wife and I see a house for sale, we'll go on Zillow and try to guess previous selling prices. It's almost always like:

2010 - $165k

2019 - $200k

Now - $400k

I think Trump did but it was about how it's fake because it was cold that morning

Telling people who bring it up "No spoilers please, I'm waiting until the season's over to catch up"

I reply to every one I get with variations of "who is This?" or "I don't know who that is, sorry" and they never respond to me

We'll have a long memory

Given my experience with liberals (I suppose just Americans in general), that's gonna be a big from me

Louis Pasteur was woke

What is going on?

Idk I feel like the first part of the walk would be pretty varied, but once they get past the Rockies it would be so monotonous
