For anyone requiring context, both of these men are federal parliament members in Australia.

Because he has 1980’s economic policy.

yawn let me guess you have over three hundred confirmed kills?

How old do you think I am?

I’m ancient by Lemmy standards.

Age has made me more aware that most adults have no idea what they are doing but think they actually do by virtue that they’ve survived to their 40’s and beyond. This makes them incredibly dangerous.

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?

Work colleague crystallised their losses during the GFC by selling their 401k and changing the asset allocation to Cash.

They didn’t convert it back to stocks until 2018…

Ikr. Really should have made this Jan 1st.

Very interesting perspective that you wouldn’t encourage your kids to do the same as you, why’s that?

To be honest if my kids married at 20 it’s not like I’d try to stop it, despite my reservations about it. I’d think it was a potential mistake but that’s coming from me as concern rather than disapproval.

Here you go.

Oh I have issues with commitment and a constant feeling of ‘Is this the best I can expect?’ but I don’t regret my younger life.

My ‘weird’ sentiment stems more from me looking in from the outside at relationships where 20 year olds decide they want to spend the rest of their lives with each other. I can’t imagine missing out on potentially meeting someone more compatible. Can you really meet the most compatible person for you when you’re 20?

When I was 20 I was a very different person, I’m assuming that’s similar for others.

Other commenters have talked about how they grow with partners but I wonder if it’s truly possible to do that while being so ‘together’ with another person. Some things you have to learn on your own.

Hahahahahaha

Cries in paralysing anxiety

Luck is something I didn’t consider.

I swear when Wikipedia was a Wild West and weird edits stayed up for a long time there was an entry on the Conway Twitty article that described a story about a man who was divorcing a woman who was just a terrible person. He ended up walking out of their house with nothing but came back only for his Conway Twitty records.

That story always stuck with me and made me appreciate the impact Conway had.

Slow clap

You silly billy.

The point is that neither man is likely to have a cognitive condition that would affect their presidency.

It’s hypocritical because the Republicans constantly attack Biden for similar gaffes despite the fact Biden is pretty much just like Trump when it comes to mental acuity.

Do I think trump has completely lost his marbles because of one gaffe? No.

In the same way Biden is just as coherent.

Both men being relatively equal on this the distinguishing factor then turns to the fact that one has said they will be a literal dictator and the other likes ice cream and capitalism.

This better be a gif of Jim Carey being born out of a rhinoceros because it’s not loading for me and this comment will make no sense otherwise.

Ignore the idiots.

Taylor Swift is just as bad as Elon Musk. No one should be a billionaire. No one.

I can understand the confusion, drying time units is actually a measure of distance not speed.

I’d really be sad if Donald Trump died tomorrow.
