Never heard of him, but if he’s like Bernie, I’ll endorse that.

I’m sort of assuming that this comment can be aimed at me, which I think is accurate

Nope, just responding to OP. I fit 3 of the items on their list, 5 depending on who you ask, and I take exception to having my issues with the party that’s supposed to represent my interests dismissed as “maga cuckoo infiltration.”

If it is as you say, then that sounds like bad faith actors posing as 3rd party alright. People will do anything to get you sucked into engagement to drain you and keep you from being productive. I guess reminding everyone of that is a public service

Great points! Now that the election is over, let’s focus on revamping the Dem party instead of huffing copium by blaming 3rd party leftists for not being conservative enough to vote for a rightwing party!

If you’re referring to the youtube thumbnail trend, it’s because it helps people choose videos without reading channel names. You know who it’s from just by looking, you see the title, you’re more likely to click.

In other words, the office nerds at Mr. Beast Inc. crunched the numbers and discovered that they get ??% more viewers by putting Jimmy’s face in the thumbnail, and every other youtuber took that as gospel.

Categorization error. The categories of “gay” and “straight,” as we understand them currently, were invented by a cisheteronormative society that treats everything as an extreme male-masculine/female-feminine dichotomy. Trying to shove Gender Non-Conforming people into this framework will necessarily result in errors, because it denies their existence by its very core tenets.

“Identifying as” and “acting in a way that is best described by a certain adjective” are two different things

Do you have a source for that?

That origin is apocryphal, and likely based on a misunderstanding of a text that simply used the original phrase

There’s the rub: “good” and “bad” are simply byproducts of knowledge, abstracts that don’t pertain to concrete real-world objects. As such, the medium becomes the message: knowledge must be good because it allows us the medium to consider goodness. Of course we think knowledge is good, it’s all we’ve ever known.

It’s like making a moral claim about existence: of course we think existence is good, it’s all we’ve experienced, all we can know.

Also: bandwagon fallacy.

The absence of evidence isn’t evidence of absence

Actually, Stacy, that’s exactly what it is

Is that a Mark Fischer quote?

“Take the Blue Pill and the gradual slide into fascism stops accelerating for four years while the current hellscape becomes the status quo, take the Red Pill and buckle the fuck up as we hyperspeed into fascism”

that chicken was an animal that was raised in war-crime conditions and killed on a conveyor belt of death where it watched as its kin in front of it were stunned and then drowned.

That cheese comes from a cow who was fisted in the ass by a farmer so they could inseminate it (a process many would describe using an upsetting term beginning with the lettee ‘r’, were it done to humans), only to havw the resulting child ripped away from it before they could bond so that her milk, intended for her child, could be extracted by a cold machine and sold to humans.

Probably not the best examples to use in this situation.

It takes many more plants to raise a pound of meat to eat than it does to eat the plants directly, so we are still in agreement that the best way to minimize harm and respect the sanctity of all life is to eat a plant-based diet.

our spelling isn’t stupid, it’s just what you get when you mix latin with germanic and pepper in minor influences from a dozen other language families.

I’m sure in a few more centuries, ryme and tyme will have convergently evolved to become false cognates.

A news outlet said it, and they would never make ridiculous claims based on no evidence

Not unless they want me to be their bull

Listen, it’s a funny hyperbolic way of saying “stay mad”; don’t let sex-negative reactionaries have all the fun phrases

cope and seethe. Haven’t had an issue with either my debian desktop nor my debian laptop in the 5 years I’ve been running it on them. Sounds like you’re just mad your OS constantly advertises paid services to you, and mine doesn’t.

everytime i see ppl saying “ah” instead of “ass,” I read it in Jeff Goldblum’s voice
