The issue isn’t that online dating apps suck, it’s that all of the loud voices giving advice to angry young men are giving advice that doesn’t help them, and almost certainly actively hurts them, but keeps them listening to the people giving bad advice. It’s a digital media problem.

we’re in the minority in all three branches, dems don’t have to do a goddamned thing, policy-wise, for at least the next two years. ask donald trump and mike johnson and john thune what their kitchen table policies are, they’re in charge.

i hear this a lot. it isnt true. dems approach elections with the idea that they cant/shouldnt go into "icky" territory and instead they need to go with boring and stale "kitchen table" stuff. the right goes into the sewer because they understand elections are about emotions.

there needs to be a specific term for this, for when successful countermeasures are later taken as evidence that the issue was overblown. See: Y2K, the Ozone Hole, Vaccines. Hindblight or something.

It's something at least. Driving messages works and Democrats should do it more often.

somethingawful had the best and smartest rule in the history of any online space: it's against the rules to try to find a grey area in the rules. If you have to argue that what you posted is fine, it's actually not fine, goodbye.

This is not the ideology of the Old West or of the frontier or even of later Western fiction, this is the ideology of the wealthy Los Angeles NIMBY.

Honestly? It rocks that we just live in a world where a non-trivial number of people who vote are now just completely detached from reality. Actually just living in fantasy worlds with alien drones and AI dogs and shit. Amazing.
