kinda cute in a nut-job sort of way.
Man, I can’t imagine being single in this day and age. You meet a cute girl at a bar like ol’ Riley up there, you chat her up, then you find out she’s absolutely fucking nuts and wants to storm the Capitol.
The “ratted on by an ex” mugshots are always the best kind.

Irrelevant to the thread, but I think being single for the ladies sucks way more, considering how many more dudes are fringe-right than women. I can imagine being in a mid-sized right leaning town right now, even a middling schmuck like myself would kill on the dating scene, just by not wanting to throw kids in cages.
Because I like a good derail as much as a good podcast segment:
Trigger warning: “cuffing” is used frequently during this podcast.

TIL “Cuffing Season” (from the article):
Cuffing season refers to a period of time where single people begin looking for short term partnerships to pass the colder months of the year. Cuffing season usually begins in October and lasts until just after Valentines Day. The use of the word cuff references handcuffs, but is slang in the same vein as “hooking up” or “getting hitched.”
Cuffing season? People hook up long term for the winter and then break up when the weather gets nice? The world really has passed me by.

Always nice to find things that make me actually happy to be older. My poor kids though.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve heard, at least for today. I guess I’m just not wired that way, but I’ve never, ever entered into a relationship with the idea that it was “short-term”. If I’m being honest, I never took terms into consideration at all. What a waste of time.
Worth listening to the 12 minute podcast segment for contest.
I thought perhaps cuffing was a consonant flip on fucking…
You cuffing idiot! No one does that.

So here’s the ‘sense’ of it from the podcast:
Normally in very cold places like chicago, the dating scene dies out when it gets cold. Nobody wants to go outside, much less visit bars and other public gathering places. So many younger people (think in their 20’s, not necessarily looking to get married yet) are looking for someone to spend the next few months with, because otherwise they’ll be alone.
Covid is like permanent winter.
Now, for the people the listened to the podcast, you’ll note that some of these people’s attitudes have changed - they started off wanting “right now”, and have realized they actually ARE looking for “the one”, so it’s not just a random hookup for a few months anymore. There’s a real change in attitude of many of the people who were formally social butterfly / players.
But you’d have to listen to a whopping 12 minutes of a podcast to actually get the whole story.

This is what happens when MAGA World gets a taste of what it’s like to not be a white male in America:

PS - this guy is a triple idiot because:
- He thinks someone ratted him out when he probably clicked the “I’m going!” button on the event itself
- He talked to the FBI and actually showed them surveillance video of himself at work. NEVER, EVER, EVER talk to the cops, no matter what.
- He got on the donald dot win to say that the FBI asking him some questions was the end of America

Shouldn’t National Guard members “with ties to fringe right group militias” probably be removed from the National Guard in general? I mean, replace “fringe right group militias” with “Islamic terrorist organizations” and I think we might be approaching this a little differently?
