A "man cave" is like the weird hetro-obsession with hating your spouse. If you need a special room for all the things you like because the person you're with hates it all - you're with the wrong person. Relationships that make you miserable and lock away your interests are BAD. C'mon now.

This is humiliatingly weak and pathetic.
The dominant national ethos has become one of weak insecurity. It’s like if Frank Burns was a white nationalist.

Hey, Captain obvious.
If Costco was a more viable option for me, don't you think that's where I would be shopping? Let's start with the fact that I am a single person who doesn't drive and lives in a walk up apartment. Buying in bulk also costs a lot more up front.

Obviously very bad idea on so many levels
not that we'd expect any strategic thinking on part of Trump and his bloodthirsty minions, but on any given day, especially this time of year, there are likely millions of Americans in Mexico - from ex-pats to tourists to biz people
Trump won't care

Officials tell Zeteo that Trump remains ‘very interested’ in the idea of sending US Special Forces into Mexico.

I never boycotted Rouse's and here's why: I considered who that would hurt the most. Rouse's carries small local food brands and they are one of the biggest distributors of those brands. It would hurt all of them if they went out of business.

I'm sure this will incite all kinds of ire and threats, but I had to break my Wal Mart boycott and will likely need to be shopping there on a regular basis again. Even though prices there have gone up a lot too, it's still significantly more affordable and I need to eat right.

Stop telling people to not make jokes on a serious account or to not post political views on a shitposting account.
One - its their damned account. Two - an account that can go from innuendo to politics to pop culture is a well rounded human acct.

Basically convinced that not only won’t Bluesky be the new Twitter but that the whole concept of a Twitter replacement doesn’t really make sense.
It’s like trying to build a replacement for MTV, Sports Illustrated, AIM, or the bar you always went to when you were 24.
