Fom your link...
Fuentes also refers to himself as an incel, although he also states that he deliberately stays away from women, because he is heterosexual.
(the bolding is mine)
Wow! Just wow!
In similar vein Czar Putin has a new calender out...

And not entirely different...

... makes me wish I didn't junk that old 386SX 20 years ago.
Now wait just a minute! Do you realize that these "sick days" will cost at least 2.5% of gross profits? Thankfully our brave railroad CEO's and activist shareholders like the oracle of Omaha are fighting back against the naked socialism exhibited by these overpaid, underworked
railroad "workers". How many sleepless nights have they spent wondering about the future? the next earnings call? How can they compare simply sitting in a train engine pulling a mile long string of train cars weighing 20,000 tons to that long walk to the shareholders meeting or BOD call and having to tell them that profits were off by 1/2%. RR employees need to grow up!!
Happy New Year, Infidel! Good inside perspective about what is going wrong with Southwest Airlines. Anti-vaxxers are blaming it on the COVID vaccine. Oy!
On another note, I finally put together a post after nearly two years. Perhaps you have heard about the atrocity known as George Santos who managed to get elected as my Congressman.
I love the truck sliding down the street. I think they're making plastic suitcases in that video.
NickM: I couldn't figure out Fuentes's "logic".
I don't know about Putin personally, but some very macho guys who project that kind of image are "incels" in a different way -- not that they never engage in the physical act of sex, but they abstain from any emotional involvement or relationship. They don't want the personal connection and are always fundamentally alone. It's not exactly sex, it's just using another person to masturbate.
Seafury: That seems to be exactly how a lot of them think. The tumbrels can't come soon enough.
Tommykey: Anti-vaxers will probably soon be claiming vaccines cause meteors.
I took a look at your post, thanks (will be in the next round-up).
Ricko: I'd hate to see the results when that truck reached the bottom of the street. Maybe you're right about the suitcases. I suspected some kind of kitchenware but couldn't be sure.
the banana eater is priceless!!! here I thought it was just me lol
Yeah, I guess monkeys hate those stringy bits too!
