  • I’m part of a Karen Facebook group that’s in my neighborhood. Joined because I saw their annoying signs in yards about “don’t allow 5 story housing here”.

    It’s basically what you’d expect. A bunch of racist white people that don’t want their property value going down while they live in their single family home with no children.

    Recently the title of one of their emails was along the lines of.

    UPDATE: City wants to charge single family homes MORE property tax. And they still can’t provide good water pressure to the top of the hill!

    It’s like. Dude. Your complaint is explaining itself. Single family homes are a massive loss to city infrastructure. Maybe if you let that 3-5 story unit be built up the hill they’d have enough tax revenue to improve the water infrastructure.

    They are always always shooting themselves in the foot with every argument they make. It’s why I joined the group. It’s very entertaining.


  • Best thing I’ve done for it is to use a single blade (safety razor) and shave exclusively in the shower. The steam opens your pours and helps reduce irritation.

    Also, shaving “with” the grain. Which is easier said then done since it kinda goes every direction.

    But the biggest difference has been shaving in the shower. My skin goes crazy otherwise.

    I have a full beard so I avoid shaving most of it. I’m so hairy that I have to shave most of my neck and my upper cheeks though otherwise I’d look like a Yeti. Seriously, some hairs are nearly to my eyes.

    My genes are apparently just pure European (almost a flat mix from Ireland to Ukraine). But my hair is extremely curly even on my head. My friends use to say I had a “jew-fro” but I’m not Jewish from what a DNA test said.












  • Unpopular opinion. But we’d be here if Trump was never elected. The US has wanted reason to invade Iran for decades. Trump definitely does damage to America’s image. But, as far the the third world’s image of America, no one did more damage than Biden did with his Genocide of Gaza.

    The main point being. US imperialism is not directed by the president alone. It is directed by Americas defense industry and military industrial complex. I think the main difference between Trump or a Biden/Harris would be the aesthetics. And maybe going through the steps of Congress. But this war is what Imperialism is demanding.
