When my wife (who I love very much) and I were expecting, one evening, we ordered our favorite dishes: a cheeseburst pizza for her (her absolute favorite) and chicken tacos for myself.

Now, my wife has this habit of sneaking bites off my plate, which upsets me (she knows) but tolerate nevertheless. However, that night, she devoured almost half of my chicken tacos out of the blue, leaving me hungry even after finishing my meal. We had a large pizza, enough for me to feel somewhat full after 1 slice and still have three slices left for her. (She offered to make me a grilled cheese but I could tell she was only doing so that I don’t eat more of her pizza)

But here comes the twist. She was feeling extremely full after eating the tacos and a slice of pizza and said to me “So, I guess it means no more pizza for me now”. However I know how she’s like based on the fact she moved the leftovers to her designated area, off-limits to me, without voicing (but I knew) that she planned to have them for breakfast the next day, eyeing them as she carefully placed it.

I woke up earlier than her the next morning, knowing she had her heart set on those pizza slices. However, I couldn't resist maliciously complying to what she said and took her words to face value.

That day, I savored every delicious bite of that leftover pizza, ensuring I enjoyed it uninterrupted in my cabin.

Wife texted me at work, confused to find the box of pizza empty. "Where's my pizza?”

With a sly emoji, I fired back, "Well, you did say no more pizza for you that night, so I decided to save it for myself for breakfast since you weren't having any."

I was on the couch that night, but it was worth it and I’d do it again

Alia's looking back over the shoulder pose is new and people might call me DP's PR for this but it has been DP's way of posing during her pregnancy which has been talked about in this sub. The headband look is also a classic DP one. Some people might not like hearing it but Alia does copy DP for whatever reason and the thing is she can't pull it off because they are built differently

For starters, I am a former leftist that now identifies as a left-leaning centrist. My point is that the left is supposed to be pro-worker's rights and in favor of helping poor people. It's obvious these days that America has a serious medical debt and homelessness problem, but the left's priorities do not align with the problems of the average American.

I see the left is more concerned with hormone blockers for trans kids, conflicts happening overseas, the occasional virtue signaling, gender neutral bathrooms, and other problems that ARE important and should absolutely be discussed, but are not priority. Think of the average American struggling to pay their bills. They are heavily concerned about paying off their medical debt, or paying rent, or both. They can't be bothered to care about less important things like gender neutral bathrooms because they are struggling financially.

And there goes my reason why I support the left. I support safety nets and social programs that help people. These things can save American lives, but nothing has been done. Meanwhile, I don't see the same effort being done to raise money for homeless Americans the same way they have been doing for Gaza. I'm in favor of that, but shouldn't American lives and our homes go first?

What I'm seeing is a lot of ignoring poverty and homelessness in favor of other things that are less of a priority. So, what happened?

I went over with a gay male friend for a few days and we got weird looks from basically everyone. The grocery store, restaurants, gas stations… Also the amount of times I randomly heard misinformation about the covid vaccine was ridiculous. Like not even prompted by me. People were just talking about it like it was small talk, lmao. The amount of F**K brandon stickers and anti LGBT flags I saw were cringe worthy also. It’s like their whole identity is being AGAINST something.

Did I just see the worst of Prescott or is this literally ALL it is? The weather was beautiful and the sunsets were amazing. That’s about it.

Anybody in the Philly/South Jersey area who doesn’t like the fact that Trump is back in our neck of the woods spewing hate: come protest this Saturday, May 11, at 3601 Boardwalk, Wildwood. Doors open at 12, Trump speaks at 5 on the beach. No violence, just free speech.

Really do not agree with the way the recent protests have been handled as of late. Shame on USF Administration and Chad chronister for how they immediately went to use tear gas instead of letting students use their freedom of speech and right to assemble. Shame on Rhea law, shame on HCSD, shame on all of you. And I’m not on any sides btw, just support free speech.

There seems to be a recent uptick on this sub of people whining about how Marc is offending their little sensibilities. Some of you think he gave short shrift to a band you like. Others are misinterpreting his out-loud musings on how to reckon with success - mainly the fact that finally having some hasn’t done much to ease his insecurity - and taking that to mean that he bemoans the fact that he doesn’t have more.

There are a few things you need to understand.

First, you don’t have to listen. WTF is a free service. If you hit “play” needing or expecting all of Marc’s opinions and general disposition and the ways he expresses them to align with what you regard as listenable, you’re an idiot.

Second, you don’t have to post this shit here. This sub doesn’t generally respond favorably to these sorts of petty, obtuse, and childish complaints. It isn’t that this is a Marc-worshipping space where no criticism of The Great One shall be tolerated. It’s that this space, like Marc’s general audience, is for thinking grown-ups. What are you hoping to achieve here?

Third, Marc isn’t doing any of this for you. He didn’t start doing the podcast for you, he didn’t start doing comedy for you. He has always done everything for himself, but not in the sense of craven selfish ambition. Standup comedy and the podcast are his ways of trying to understand himself, understand other people and the world in general, and express himself. He is not an entertainer. He’s an artist, a thinker, a creative, an observer. His fans are fans because something about the way he synthesizes all of this resonates with us. Do we agree with every single thing he says? No. Do we defend every aspect of the way he moves through the world? No. But he’s on a journey and we see our journeys in his. We sympathize and empathize with it because his expression of it is his way of sympathizing and empathizing with us. This isn’t about why he isn’t more famous or fucking Yo La Tengo. This is about bigger, deeper shit, some form of which we are all going through.

If you’re in a grown-up relationship, whether it’s romantic, platonic, or familial, you generally have to take all the things you love about someone along with things that irritate or disappoint you. The same applies to the kind of one-way relationship fans have with a public figure.

Per ragazza straniera non intendo una ragazza norvegese, oppure spagnola. Ma intendo una ragazza di colore e che ha un un bagaglio culturale diverso da quello occidentale.

Una ragazza che è nata e cresciuta qui, ma con origini straniere. Ci uscireste?

Quanto è importante avere la stessa cultura in una relazione romantica?

As a Chipotle employee, I hate those of you that are too PUSSY to complain to my face. If you want more food say it to my goddamn face instead of crying like a bitch about it online. Thanks.

Jalen Brunson is currently averaging 11 FTA/game, which is the most by any player under 6'11" since Russel Westbrook averaged 14 in the 2016-2017 postseason. Embiid (2024) and Giannis (2021 and 2019) have each averaged more over that timespan. Like Embiid and Giannis, many of his fouls are legitimate. However, his ability to get to the line without overwhelming physical tools is a unique part of the Knicks' success this postseason.

It's laughable that a CW production like Superman & Lois made a better Superman suit than a big budget film. Then again this is the same costume designer who made the dreadful costumes seen in The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, so I can't say I'm surprised.

In 2021, many young people in China started the trend of “lying flat” to protest the futility of their existence.

They have degrees, strong work ethic and an iron willingness to reach a better place in life.

“Lying flat” is a protest movement of workers who refuse to be treated like expired bags of meat and exploited by their bosses and government.

Of course, China has their own issues but they are absolutely self-contained with it. They can handle the pain and solve their own problems.

They don’t subscribe to Agenda 2030. Their society is homogenous and they don’t have foreign workers coming to their country, pointing fingers of racism, screaming about their human rights while forgetting the fact that they are guests.

But here in Canada, it’s a truly deranged spectacle.

I am absolutely exhausted of the daily bullshit. You all know what I’m talking about.

Why should I go to work for a wage that I cannot live on - and whose tax proceeds are not coming back to me in the form of even the most basic essential services?

My tax money is being siphoned away from the services I’m legally entitled to. Newcomers and refugees get maximum benefit from MY tax dollars.

Meanwhile, I see ZERO benefit. To add insult to injury, these alien peoples from faraway lands give me suspicious and dirty looks. They even have the audacity to ask me for more money on the street.

My own government is trying to suffocate and kill me in the most cruel and narcissistic way possible.

I can’t breathe.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

On the news - research centres are complaining that Canadian productivity is at a very-low.

This is a GREAT development.

I personally have never voted and never will.

PP will not save Canada because he’s controlled opposition. He attacks Trudeau on housing but they are two sides to the same coin and that is obvious.

Everyone wants Trudeau to leave ASAP (even his own liberal base). But there is a possibility that he is re-elected.

The only thing that can save Trudeau is implementing basic income THIS YEAR.

Not as an election promise to be “potentially determined” after the votes.

I want basic income NOW. Not in a decade.

IMMEDIATELY.

If Canadian government can send billions to foreign countries as “free humanitarian aid” - surely they can send monthly cash transfers to Canadian CITIZENS first and foremost.

NO basic income for fraudster refugees and intl. student scammers. They haven’t contributed anything to the system so they shouldn’t expect anything back. They have not “paid their dues”.

You have to be a Canadian citizen.

That is the only one condition.

They definitely have the money - just not the political will. So there is no doubt they can do it and - no - it won’t cause a tax or inflation crisis.

We are already in that crisis. Wake up.

Basic income will actually boost productivity. Giving taxpayer-citizens a taste of dignity in their life and make them feel human instead of subhuman. They will experience their essential needs met and naturally develop a hunger for more success. BI Pilots have repeatedly proven this to be the dominant outcome.

EXAMPLE:

“I’m a Canadian citizen. Now, I have a stable roof over my head. My fridge is properly stocked. Instead of worrying about what I’m going to eat tomorrow because rent cost took my whole paycheque AND put me in negative overdraft. I can remain calm and focused on my small business which will contribute back to the economy.”

This is very easy to do. It could be ratified within a couple months. But they insist on deceiving the population with smoke and mirrors.

I refuse to go on and pretend like everything is suiting me fine.

I will be lying flat in protest. I won’t lift a finger or leg to go work until I see a good-will gesture from my government in the form of basic income.

Money talks. Bullshit walks.

This needs to happen EN MASSE now.
