Millions of adults never mature mentally. There is now an entire political party of adults with the minds of children.

You can guess which party by looking for tue signs: avoids responsibility, poor emotional regulation, lack of accountability, impulsivity, difficulty to commitment, self-centered, black and white thinking, difficulty handling conflict, stagnation of personal growth.

For age, the way I put it is: the only thing you can determine for sure from a persons age is how many times the earth circled the sun since they were born. Age says nothing about maturity.

I use this quote to define an adult from a child, seems fitting with these guys:

an adult is a person who understands when it is appropriate to be childish

I have used this definition for a decade, and it has always shown to be accurate.

GOP guys are stuck in perpetual cycle of being a teenager who decide to throw out all their old toys, because they are a "man", and "men don't play with toys".

36

They're like 6 year olds who're told they need to be big boys to go to school so they do it. But at night they secretly cry and want to play with their toys.

14

For real. You can be 90 years old with 90 years of experience and learning, or you can be 90 years old, having lived the same year over and over for the last 70 of them, like that obese orange fuck, Donny 2 Inches.

Have you ever seen those old political cartoons about the 'upper' classes, depicting them all as extremely (like actually round in shape) fat folks always eating at a table while others starve? The stereotypical caricature came from somewhere in reality, and my bet is that eating all you want has always been a staple of people in a pretty good position in life.

16

And also people who have trouble knowing, or were never taught when enough is enough.

This is also observed in Korea: in North Korean culture dear leader is always round, signalling abundance, while the opposite is true in the South, where food is actually abundant.

Obesity signals authority to others due to the implied access to abundant food.

10

I don’t know about that.

Size tends too, and the stats on leaders and CEO heights kinda shows it.

But a few of these people just look like gluttons. Maybe too much time in front of a screen or just too much of the wrong kinds of food. Probably both.

And where are the 3 missing people? I mean together they weigh as much as 8 people but I don’t know anyone actually named their rolls.

These people think YOU should be in a gas chamber. Fucking wild that these people think they're better than everyone. Wild.

Yeah. It's like none of them have ever seen a mirror before. How tf do you get like that and actually believe you're superior genetically?

It's weird to expect charisma. Feels like a Hollywood intrusion.

Video killed the radio star type of thing.

Why do you think JD Vance and his couch fetish immediately ran to defend their reprehensible shitposting?

These are the weak men that bring the hard times that they're always harping on about. The call was coming from inside the house all along.

They look exactly like I figured. At least half the legal industry in the red state where I live looks like these chuds.

In German this kind of people are called "Schreibtischtäter", i.e. people who commit crimes while sitting at a desk.

Each and every one of them a solid reason we need to increase testing drinking water for lead.

In 30-50 years we will maybe say this about stunted emotional development due to endocrine disruption from microplastics, or maybe social-behavioral disruption thanks to dopamine gaming from social media especially for youth, constant digital stimulation, pfas, ultra fine air particulate pollution, or whatever.

The point is the harm is happening still but we don’t care because much like when tobacco was becoming clear as a public health crisis. Or using your example like how it was fairly clear leaded gas had neurotoxic effects in like the 1920s almost immediately after they started using it because it kept destroying the brains of the gas factory workers, then they spent like 30 years studying it and basically finding atmospheric lead pollution increases as well as blood level concentration increases from engine exhaust.

But in both cases regulators drug their feet for decades while people literally died because god forbid they harm profits of companies to protect the public health and safety. We have some very clear ideas of what needs to be acted on now but we don’t because god forbid google be valued at 2.7 trillion dollars instead of 2.98 trillion

These poster children for abortion didn't grow up with leaded gasoline. They had their paint chips with salsa.

I am genuienly not even trying to rude, I am just actually baffled.

Like, I currently live in the midwest.

... Seeing a group of people like this, who all have basically the same body build and fitness level... like yes, the stocky endomorph build is stereotypically associated with Midwesterners, and I do notice somewhat more of people who look lile this here versus where I'm from, other places I've spent a good deal of time in.

But walking into any random public space and seeing this group of 5 people would still be very fucking odd, unless maybe they were all over 55 years old.

This would be a weird note in mental log of my day, a notably uncommon thing to encounter, with them all being under 35, and thats with me having been living in the Midwest now for 2+ years.

Y'all, we're eagerly waiting for the president to die. Please can we not pin the hopes of this country on the eventual deaths of 25 to 35-year-olds? Can we do something a little more proactive please?

Edit: To be clear, I'm not wishing for them to survive. I just think we need a better plan.

They have to embrace mazism because being white is the only thing left for them to feel superior from other people.

Peter Giunta got fired real quick. Processing his termination paperwork was the highlight of my workday. Bro threw away a well paying job, and amazing health insurance to play Nazi.

i currently try to gain weight, as i really need to.

i am using mass gainer protein and get abt 3000 calories daily which is already a CHORE. after 2 months i feel like it's impossible to get overweight with european foods lmao

but maybe i just burn it faster idk.

3

As a fellow european trying to lose weight, I promise it is possible to gain weight from european foods. It's just a matter of portion sizes, and loving food enough.

7

Dumb culture -> dumb diet

It was a national scandal when Michelle Obama tried to improve the food of children. Otherwise it's been all bad.

What a pack of Daddy's Little Dumplings. I wonder if those guys ever heard of mirrors...?

The men look like they expected to gain even more weight (and height in one case) and ordered their suits a size larger. Actually scratch that, they aren't buttoned so hard to tell. Maybe suits just don't look good on fat people, I haven't given this much consideration until now.

Bunch of neo-Nazi losers with shit eating grins and they gobbled down too many Happy Meals growing up.

14

Ah, even better. You see, when a kid says hateful things, they get a talking too and punished. But you should NEVER hit your kids.

Adults, on the other hand, perfectly alright to punch hate spewing fascists right in their breadbaskets.

13

Holy crap, they look like me wearing a suit. Nothing fits properly, because I have been too lazy to buy a new one, because I use it maybe once a year if that. Only that they all work in Washington and I at least know that I should button up the jacket when standing.

12

Running their mouths because they don't expect to get punched. They look exactly how I would have pictured-- stupid, ugly in and out, overweight, pathetic, probably smells...

I hope they go to jail. They look like they'd be someone's butch first day

11

How old were all those guys working for Doge again? They were old enough to dismantle the government, so they must have been plenty qualified, right? Right?

11

Some credit to JD Vance, the two dudes on the outsides absolutely look like you put a 13 year old's face on a fat, tall 13-year-old body.

I know this is extremely politically incorrect and against everything i fight for but they actually all look like inflatable balloon figurines. Insane thing to see.

The next time someone says they are kids, ask them if you think someone should go to prison for pedophile charges for having sex with people 24-35.

Unless they're a minority, in which case they become "youth" as soon as they're born and are treated like adults as soon as they can talk.

Well, under 30 is young kids, when your leaders are all in their 70's... But yeah, it's totally misleading.

Whow. those are kids? a steady diet of hate and pre-used cheetos will really age you, I guess.

Not fat shaming them myself. It has been my observation that those lacking confidence often belittle others to make themselves feel better. You see the same with bullying. Of course lack of education and no exposure to other cultures and people are involved.

Quick edit: that I believe you were being sarcastic and chose to respond a bit more seriously. Carry on'

These cunts are all wealthy. They can afford the best food, and exercise equipment. There's nothing wrong with mocking lazy fat cunts who exist that way through choice. Especially those with leadership aspirations. Especially those that mock others. That whole photo looks like it stinks of Body Odour. But I'm sure to you right wing cunts, the only thing that matters is how pearly pink their skin is.

Holy shit, my dude in the middle with the trump tie. I really hope his friends are staging an intervention. That’s so sad, I can’t imagine not saying something if he was in my life. Just, ouch.

Someone needs to show him there are other ways. We’re so much better without this shit.
