To answer your question, no it is not valid. The fact that you don’t actually stand by the word offended really answers yourself.
Why choose “offended” as the verb here? I’m not saying I’ve never seeing an offensive movie… But what you described is an annoyance at most.
It’s almost as if you are claiming offense to be contrarian.
He wanted to grok it?
Why? Did he make some roadkill racoon tartar again? Good thing he refused the rabies vaccine!
What happened 10 years ago in the east? Was it Russia invading due to oil reserve discoveries?
I know Ukrainians. I know eastern Ukrainians who protested against Yanukovych and were shot at so he could keep his gold loves of bread. I also know Russian/Ukrainians whose families emigrated to Ukraine after the USSR ethnically cleansed Crimea of the Tartars. Ukraine is a place with a complex past and lots of internal issues. But those issues are INTERNAL. They should have the right to work them out themselves. Russia invaded for oil and natural gas resources, plus the black sea ports. The rest is propaganda.
Altadena (eaton fire) is not exactly an afluent area. Yes there are some fancy spots / homes but there are a lot of working class neighborhoods. I lived there for years, have lots of friends and family there.

My brother loves his xterra so much he is on his 3rd (first was an accident, second went to the ex in the divorce). I rarely ride in it, but it seems kinda like a rattle trap to me. I dont know how much of that is his abuse and how much is the car.
According to Bloomberg, Johann Rupert told the conference to bear in mind that when the poor rise up, the middle classes won’t want to buy luxury goods for fear of exposing their wealth.
“How is society going to cope with structural unemployment and the envy, hatred and the social warfare?” he said. “We are destroying the middle classes at this stage and it will affect us. It’s unfair. So that’s what keeps me awake at night.”
… its almost comical how he thinks of this. The first thought is his businesses wont be able to sell luxury to anyone but the ultra wealthy.

the pardon is for tax and gun charges, right? no drug charges?
at this point I don’t give a fuck, I just don’t want to hear the words “democrat” and “strategist” in the same sentence anymore.

I’m not a programmer but I have at least one double booking every day. Some weeks look like a brick wall sideways (they seem to always overlap by a half hour for some reason).
If y’all have worked with silicone oil, yea it works kinda like this (depending on viscosity).
It creeps up out of containers, it creeps up walls. It gets everywhere.
that would make someone a real bastard…
That’s why my favorite composer is Edgard Varèse
I’ve only had with cream cheese ‘frosting’, but it is clearly a variation of a savory cake.
