I followed you on a lark, hoping for something like this to happen down the line. I’m not disappointed. Hilarious! A dissertation!

Is it? Is it really so difficult to choose between Trump and not?
Because it’s just about the easiest choice EVER. FFS

Freedom is certainly a big part of it. Another big part of it rule of law. It does not exist there. Westerners do not understand what it means to have it, compared to not having it. They might think they do, but they do not.

A co-worker voted for Trump. I was shocked; he’s a smart guy. He said he’s a R and voted for the R candidate. Nowadays he’s horrified and promises to vote D and press all his friends to do same.

If you do speak fluent Russian...
...do not fuckin' move to Russia either. You should really trust me on this. I know these things from experience.

This is the woke-life. This is how they want us to operate on a daily basis. Suspicion. Tribalism. Frequent references to uncontrollable properties (man, white) as accusations. In-fighting. And, of course, unbearably stilted jargon.
Kareem Carr's grift over 2+2 turned profitable, and by the basic rules and principles of intersectionality, he's now problematic.

It's about water temperature for the kids' (7, 5) bath. Allegedly I make it too hot. The vehemence of it is utterly insane and incomprehensible. And I just want to say, for the record, that my wife is - in this case - completely unreasonable and borderline disturbed.

Both forms are acceptable. It’s a convention; both conventions are currently deemed correct in English.

I say this with total love for my original homeland. It deserves better than what's happened to it since 2000.

I think it's personal TBH. I think he feels emasculated or something, like he was alpha in his domain, and this whole thing made it feel like his little domain got invaded.

Didn’t know you were leaving. Very juicy scenes in the finale. I don’t get on here to praise actors hardly ever: You did a really amazing job as Axe. I could feel that character like a real guy out there somewhere.

He was directly attacking her; are you kidding? These are public figures speaking public. In no universe is that not an insult. And obviously she did see it (and replied with much sass)

The first few "we are gonna move to Russia to escape LGBTQ!" types might succeed for a bit, if they can speak the language (big if - impossible language, beautiful but impossible), as probably PutinGov will try to make a PR thing out of it. But beyond that, anyone attempting this

It’s shortsighted to use small good deeds as a rhetorical counterweight in aid of attacking - yes - activists who are trying to make large shifts in public impact.
One gives you good feelings. The other one you stylistically don’t like. You act as if that’s evidence of one

You know what else is fun - the lady who made the error then wrote an op-ed about all the online abuse she got; and framed it as, like, “I’m black, and we blacks have had to deal with so much civil rights related aggression: this latest one is nothing! I am strong!!”

This is a misrepresentation of ZM; he’s a straightforward left-NIMBY except a few superficial nods otherwise. Retry

I take great pride in thoughtlessly paying absurd premiums for convenience because I can and what’s money for if not to make life easier and why spend mental energy on little things like optimizing little transactions
but I do draw the line at water bottle delivery.

Jeeeeezus... there’s a difference between passionate positive support for your candidate of choice and absurd *personal* hatefulness against people ultimately on your team. “He gave an answer in broken Norwegian with a terrible accent. Liar!!!!!!!”

Okay.
Just, I am amused that Yarvin is even conceivably a serious figure to include in any syllabus. That’s without considering the moral aspects of that piece of garbage.

Now now.
I am positive that some of those people *did* give a shit enough to think to themselves, “wow, that guy is probably a dumb fuck or a dickhead or both.”
So much winning! 😂

FFS; review bombing-prone user score meters are not a reliable measure of anything, especially early on. Culture warriors are bound to get it on this nonsense. How many times do we need to go over this

He said he learned it so he could read some book from Norway. Looks like he understands it to just that extent but doesn’t speak it due to lack of daily practice. I can barely form decent sentences in Russian at speed... my native f’g language, as I don’t speak it daily anymore.

They acted rationally and ethically to avoid him beating a fragmented field despite being unpopular.
It isn’t evil or sinister, and the wording and tone are as if he’s a victim. He isn’t.

These people have been graaaaaaaaaadually sane-washing Trump in their minds for years. Memory-holing, forgiving, forgetting, piece by piece, bit by bit.
A major pt is Musk’s presence: they see him (despite blatant recent evidence) as a scion of competence.

An attack on a black woman by a white woman is not automatically racist, correct. Are you serious?

Yeah man the way he thinks about stuff and explains it and welcomes conversation is really awful. He should insult people instead as the only form of argument about policy

No, it’s the appropriate response to a broken promise. She was dating him to stand up for himself. So he did. The alternatives were: 1, just take it (inviting further abuse of trust, next time not so low-stakes) and 2, make a scene in the restaurant by bringing it up.

The analogy I like to use in my mind is, an obvious bug in the code. Do I need to run it in production and see how many times an hour the crash occurs? Do I need reproduction steps and a recommended test case?
No. I can show you the line of code. I can fix it. I can analyze

Huh? Kamala Harris is politically unpopular and has messed up a ton since becoming VP. That’s the obvious reason why.

Yes. Except for some reason Rs looked at him and saw some black panther communist or whatever. That was really frustrating given how utterly middle of the road and cautious he was.

I am not gonna go full poor-Pete on everyone (as he really HAS been lucky in his ability to “transcend” his youth and inexperience) but, nevertheless, the whole mean-spiritedly-use-him-as-feminist-punching-bag thing = major eye rolls, after a while. He’s good at politics.

We do not have a weak hand. It’s possible to crush their economy without crushing ours. Whether that’s a good idea… who knows.

By far more wealth goes from blue areas/cities to rural/red areas than the reverse. It’s well covered
Anyway, have a mute.

He probably should not have done the former, that’s true. Tactical error. But that’s the point: engaging with these propagandistic liars on their terms is a mistake.

I am still trying to figure out what could possible be "false" about accurately reporting that Parnas's lawyer does, in fact, claim that Nunes met with XYZ to talk about ABC. They didn't say it was true... just that the guy says it's true. Am I missing something?
