Article is a catalog of Trump’s bumbling journey through life. He’s a self-centered, bizarrely lucky idiot, who constantly screws himself over with his own actions, then trips on a rock and somehow he’s fine.

I’ve seen vastly more ignorance than evil in my life, but it seems like some people prefer to feel surrounded by malevolence.

Honestly, I think anybody who saw no hope in Harris wasn’t paying attention, just validating their own hopelessness in a vacuum.

I always wanted a job that was like sitcoms based around work, where everybody is friends and hangs out. One time a building contractor moved in across the street and had his crew there for a while remodeling the house. I noticed four or five guys sitting at a picnic table in the front yard with beers, and I thought wow, so cool that the crew socializes on the jobsite after work!

It turned out not to be exactly like that - the two women in the rental next to my house were shooting porn in their garage with the door open, and the line of sight was from directly across the street where the guys had their table.

I think it’s fine to have your own biases, because you’re human, and also to be aware that you do, so when you encounter people who are completely out of your normal sphere you will listen to them. It’s folly to pretend to be free of imperfections (or even aspire to that). Nobody’s above human nature, and there’s no reason we should be.

I agree, America would be much nicer if there weren’t so many fucking Americans around.

I used to have a roommate who was in dental school. He said getting dates was incredibly easy because everybody realized it was the last time they would be in a large community of single people their age who were also intelligent and had similar interests and earning potential. And indeed, he went out with probably 20 different women that year. And he was incredibly picky and would write them off after one date - she’s too loud, too quiet, doesn’t drink, drinks too much, swears too much, smokes… Right at the end of the year he found the one, then had to go off and spend 2 years doing public health dentistry in another state to pay for his school loan. After 2 months he found another the one there and dumped the local one. So okay, I’m sure that gripping saga was worth telling lol.
