Ah yes my first job at 25, $75k/yr, that definitely checks out.

lol in my extended family of 3 or 4 dozen people on both sides of my parents I don't think a single other person makes that much money at any age. My parents or siblings never made that much money. Before someone kramers in to talk about cost of living in cities some of them are living in major metro areas too. The media has no idea how most of America lives.

The only person I know making that much is a lawyer who’s a few years younger than I, but it took him a few years still to land that gig.

I feel sympathy for Biden as much as I would for anyone else dealing with age induced addles or dementia.

Having gone through the heartbreaking cycle of dementia with my father and 2 of my grandparents, I have a hard time believing Biden doesn’t have perfectly lucid moments where he knows he’s losing it, and stays in the race anyways.

And for that, gently caress him. You don’t get a pass on your vanity just because you’re still the same vain rear end in a top hat you’ve always been, but now you have dementia too.

I dunno. He had to watch a son die of a brain tumor that can affect you much like dementia does. It may be denial as a form of self-preservation.

For all the dude has supported some bad poo poo he's had a lot of bad poo poo happen to him as well and I wish he'd have just retired after Beau died like he'd originally been talked into in 2016. Enjoyed the grandkids. Went out a respected elder statesman on a high note.

Bernie wrote an essay.

Michael Bloomberg sexually harassed multiple women at his workplace and has them all under a gag order preventing them from talking.

And apparently he only realized this was wrong recently.

People who are confused and hate what they are externalize those feelings, film at 11. Coupled with toxic masculinity, for extra toxicity.

That's why normalization and representation is important. Nips those bad decisions in the bud through the power or self love and acceptance.

They aren't proud of that but I've got to imagine being trans is a huge mindfuck (especially back in the 90s/early 00s). That's not a pass in any way, that's still obviously not ok. But that circles back to "people are people and some people are huge shitbags."

Hey uh, even if this is true, which it's not, you should have known better than to say it. What the gently caress dude.

I don’t know, guess we’ll find out. I was surprised by how tame I found the essays, to be honest. At their core they’re just lefty rants about society oppressing our lives, but they also have an inflammatory tone to them that’s all anyone’s gonna point out. They’ll decry that he wrote about a fictional woman having a rape fantasy even though the article is blatantly lamenting that.

Yeah, they went through a phase. Do you know what's not feminine? Banging semi-conscious chicks. Nobody calls the rapey meathead queer. They are obviously not proud of that phase and have grown beyond it. That's n=3/7. Another one was creepily predatory where it was all "you are transphobic if you don't sleep with me." So, a lovely person driven by internalized self hatred as opposed to lovely people driven by self hatred fueled by toxic masculinity. The other three weren't creeps, though two of them went through a toxic masculinity driven hypersexual phase (just minus the raping).
