  • Let me try again: You’re adding a nonsensical element to a thought experiment that doesn’t fit the context of the world we currently live in. Polar bears aren’t likely to become forest dwelling animals in our lifetime, if ever (they’ll probably go extinct first), so that part is irrelevant, and you’re still missing the whole point of the thought experiment. You’re trying to warp something in a stupid way and you seem to believe that you sound really smart while doing it. Check yourself. Your ego is making a fool of you.

    Not trying to be mean. Just pointing out that you have some egg on your face.




  • It’s more complicated than that. There’s massive gerrymandering, voter suppression, and straight up fraud. I won’t say the popular vote was stolen, because the investigation is ongoing, but there’s credible mounting evidence, unlike Trump’s claims following the 2020 election. Then, ultimately, the electoral college picks for us. We’re not governed for the people, by the people. The majority of Americans have to deal with this, while living in an end-stage-capitalist cage, and we get to read constant insults from ignorant people around the world who can’t see fascism for the cancer it is. It’s on the rise everywhere. Probably in your country as well. Are you responsible for the rise of fascism in your country, or is it the morons actually voting for it?



  • Nope. I travel for work quite a bit, stay in a lot of hotels. The bathroom door is a shitty sliding door far more often than a regular door. It’s one of the many things I hate about hotels now. All the little leds on the various detectors that light the room and flash all night is the thing that really gets me though. I keep a roll of gaff tape in my travel kit so I can tape all the lights, the shitty curtains, and whatever else I have to tape to make it dark enough to sleep in.




  • Thing is, I’m a white guy and I know how these motherfuckers talk when they think they are in a safe space.

    Same! I have the added pleasure of being a big, bearded, “straight-passing” gay man. I get to have really fun moments were the Republicans around me say despicable things about gays, I tell them I’m actually gay, then they trip all over themselves to explain how they’re actually totally cool with the gays. I call them out for being racist when that happens too. Making them uncomfortable by calmly shining light on their own words is one of my favorite group activities.




  • Until Hitler… self-hitlered…, most Germans had no idea they even had concentration camps or that genocide was being done in their name. They thought they were winning the war, and they saw the infrastructure/economic improvements and thought Hitler was doing a great job. One would hope everything being actively video recorded/ reported this time would make a difference but, if my experience with my MAGA family is indicative of what’s happening with the rest of the MAGAts, they’re just as ignorant. I forced my fiance’s newsmax-addicted grandma to watch a video of ICE beating a woman, in front of her small child, while they were kidnapping her husband, and Mema hasn’t said shit about politics since. She was genuinely shocked.
