    I sometimes wonder if it's appropriate to be mad at a child for shitty takes, but I think "driving a car that's worth more than my annual pay" qualifies you as an adult in the context of a revolutionary tribunal.

            Here's mine: shot and then chaser

            ngl reading that's kind of nostalgic, and also the comments too, I used to keep them unticked in my notifications and read them back every now and again until one day I accidentally pressed the "read all" button and they all disappeared :(

            This this one that's now been deleted by @CDommunist@hexbear.net that I especially liked

            Show

            iirc it was a haiku that went something like:

            Miss HornyOnMain
            Is she a boy or a girl?
            Is she God? who knows?

            Basically I'd just read that again and again and like just get happy tingles of ambiguouty

          Yep. My wife works in marketing, it’s shockingly cheap to just go out and buy a bunch of content like this. Though I imagine the white house would have a more sophisticated way of getting their PR out there. I’d imagine any way

      He's 21 lmao. Does everyone over 30 confuse college kids as minors? I'm 20 and people older than me usually think I'm a high schooler, but people my age can tell I'm not

        You know how, back when you were in high school, you'd occasionally see middle schoolers and think "We weren't that small, were we?"

        That basically keeps going your whole life, but the categories get more stretched out the older you get. 30 and 40 year olds start complaining, "Oooh, I'm so old, everything hurts!" and it's like, dude, you're barely half way there.

        Tbf he does have a particularly youthful face. I'm a bit surprised he's that old, I would have guessed like 19. So not a minor but not over 20 either.

                I'm 34 and "kid" moving to 20 never really happened for me but I think thats because I'm autistic and developmentally delayed. For me a "kid" is 18 and younger. But I get all of what you're saying.

        Biden has sat immobile, his body slowly crumbling, within the White House of Terra for over 10,000 standard years. Although once a living man, his shattered, decaying body can no longer support life, and it is kept intact only by the cybernetic mechanisms of the White House and a feeble mind itself sustained by the daily sacrifice of thousands of lives.

      It is just kind of sad to have such a myopic worldview that you cannot imagine anything being better than a fucking Biden presidency. Wow, there was job growth after large parts of the economy was closed down due to quarantines which you ended forcing people back to precarious work during a still ongoing pandemic. What a fucking achievement.

      It is also a bit wanting to have your cake and eat it too, they pretend to care for the poor and want to be seen as "good people", but they're still solidly in the fuck you got mine mindset.

    Literally can not parse anything he said because he talks too fast and provides you absolutely no time to process any opposition you might have to what he says before saying the next thing. It just comes off as annoying noise.

      gish gallop

      I will pick only one example:

      Biden invested 500 billion into [climate change]

      No. During Biden's presidency according to the PR talking points presented private companies did claim to have invested or are about to invest up to $500 billion in manufacturing and clean energy. Two very different things.

      [China] spent $546 billion in 2022 on investments that included solar and wind energy, electric vehicles and batteries.
      That is nearly four times the amount of U.S. investments, which totaled $141 billion.
      The European Union was second to China with $180 billion in clean energy investments

      Seems that xigma-male does more than biden-alert ( Or Trump trump-anguish ) even if you only look at clean energy for China.

        It comes off as the same behaviour that occurs when I mention the soviet union. You get 5-8 different things about atrocities/genocide/purge/whatever thrown in your face with demands for you to counter/explain all of them all at the same time, and because that would take writing 5000+ words it shuts down conversation.

        That's precisely what this is. It's the same fucking thing but in video format. The goal of it is purely to make any response you make too long for anyone to engage with.

            It is one of the most irritating and bad faith tactics they use. I always try to highlight this and then rein them in a bit, making them pick one at a time to go into in more detail in a good faith way, and that we can pick through them one by one but doing it all at once is unfeasible. 99% of the time they immediately disengage because they're not interested in a good faith discussion.

            The best and only outcome I think that is possible when this happens is trying to highlight to other readers that the user of this tactic is not acting in good faith and is not interested in truth.

          Perhaps my least favorite trait in my fellow Americans isn’t their ignorance about history or international affairs. It’s the breathtaking overconfidence they have that whatever historical narratives they’ve absorbed from the culture are absolutely correct and unchallengeable, even if they know you’re someone who has forgotten more about history than they know.

            It’s that Protestant American ethos that every ignorant dolt and their mother should have a strong opinion on everything and share it with confidence. Truly no respect at all for expertise or knowledge in this nation, or knowing when to listen and learn

          It also is often how conservatives and reactionaries and a couple of libs I know talk.

          Like: "No, just cause you did a quip does not mean your argument is valid or my counter point isn't.

          Things can be true at the same time and your points are mostly re-iterating things for yourself so you feel seen and heard while your self is destroyed in capitalism since your waking hours are bound to wage work during which you only get the 5 minute and lunch breaks to present your asine opinions."

            Too late actually took a family vacation to San Francisco when I was like 16. That was actually a nice trip though :( But I guess it must be different living there. Or maybe the surrounding area is worse than the city? Idk.

                My trip was after Clinton.

                But I guess the city that produced Pelosi and Feinstein can't be as nice as my childhood memories remember it being :(

                But idk I live in MA and on a government level yeah its libs all the way down but its a relatively nice place to live and I really dont know many people as demonic as the people you describe in your life lol. One racist uncle is pretty much it. And the highschool I went to in New Hampshire was a lot better than most people's highschool experiances. Maybe I'm just really lucky idk.

                    Its funny my city has like the opposite problem with wetlands. Conservative NIMBYs who don't want more poor people here try to fight housing development by citing wetlands, even though they're full of shit.

        Yeah my experience with drama club when I joined senior year (i tried joining freshman year, but little me was afraid of the goths and still a little unsure about gay people, I got over that quickly but still didnt go back until senior year) was that it was like its own seperate sub-clique that had people from different groups in it. I mostly liked it there and they were mostly nice to me, the autistic kid, so it was a good experience. No idea about their politics though.
