Has anyone else noticed that Jacqueline Kosor has somehow leveled up lately—like, she’s looking way more attractive over the last few days? Do you guys feel the same way, and do you think this actually matters for her career in politics?
I just don't see why being a hater is considered a badge of honor.
Do you all think he's some hack and his music is just shallow commercial garbage meant for the unwashed masses?
Because if you hate him, does that automatically make you an intellectual compared to the "average Joe"?
Nah, I'm just being real—or at least trying to be. It's not even about whether I like him or not. We're just pointing out that the crowds go wild when he's on stage, nothing more.
It’s got this whole mythic vibe going on—basically his way of sending a message. What he doesn't seem to realize is how obvious it is when he's holding that dagger right where his junk should be, like he's actually showing it off. It’s not even a subtle hint at "self-gratification"—it's just blatant. Plus, between that symbol on his chain and all that black, the sword thing doesn't feel Catholic at all; it feels more like he's flirting with some twisted mysticism that the Church would straight up call heresy. But honestly, nobody cares—Americans will basically agree to marry the devil if they think it'll preserve their national identity.
Donna Wood52 said:Have you ever actually crossed paths with someone who just... stands out from the crowd? I mean, sure, we’re all biologically cut from the same cloth—we’ve got limbs, heads, we walk upright, the usual anatomy—but I’m talking about the psychological core, that specific essence of a person's character.
For instance, most people are just... fine. They're decent enough. But then you run into someone whose kindness is almost overwhelming, or maybe they’re incredibly withdrawn—like, pathologically introverted—or perhaps they possess an exceptional beauty, a sharp intellect, or a sense of humor so distinct that everyone in the room is instantly drawn to them. You know exactly what I'm getting at. 🙂
I don't seem to run into people like that very often... 🤷
What’s your take on these types of individuals? Have you ever actually encountered someone like that in your own life?
I run into them daily because I *am* one of them (minus the genius part, obviously). Honestly, I can't stand it when I start a new job at a place like Google or a big firm and everyone is just forcing these fake smiles, leaning into inside jokes, making dumb comments, or constant teasing. It's the same outside of work, too. I don't get why being an introvert is seen as such a bad thing in certain spots.
I’m looking to hear about anyone else's experience with side hustles like the one mentioned in the title—or anything similar. I’m mostly interested in what actually makes sense financially (doesn't have to be a massive payday, just worth the effort). It's tough to find real info out there since everyone seems to be gatekeeping their own little setups... I don't own any acreage, but I do have a small outbuilding that would work great for a piglet setup (maybe 2-3 pigs) plus some yard space around it. I also have another smaller spot where I could set up a couple of coops or even a little chicken run
Hey mods—can we please keep this thread out of the general lounge? It’s a serious topic. After digging through everything trying to find some kind of female Viagra... turns out Pfizer is actually the real deal. Just wondering if I can pick some up here in the States.
You see all these high-society families—super polished, everyone’s got a degree, living that easy life—and at first glance, it looks totally legit. But if you look closer? It’s a facade. They can’t actually sustain that lifestyle on just two doctor salaries, no matter how much they make. Basically, you've got parents who are surgeons or engineers, acting all saintly while quietly pulling in shady side income so nobody suspects a thing. They play the part perfectly—raising their kids to be well-mannered, educated, and providing them with everything under the sun. On the surface, they're the perfect family—the dad is this super involved guy, picking up his daughter from dance class at 3 AM without a complaint, maybe even an avid hunter on the weekends and all that.

You often get these types from those "old money" families—you know, those stuffy East Coast elites—who end up acting like Leon Glembay. What he's doing might be seen as a rebellion... maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm not, who knows?
