Way to avoid my point.

No you assholes choose any culture war thing as proof someone is a horrible person, and then act like heroes when you make fun of them like middle school mean girls.

Look you guys can keep doing this bullshit but I’m out.

This shit is immature and stupid. I also get the sneaking suspicion that a lot of this “resistance” shit is done by people who just want an excuse to be cruel.

Either way, it doesn’t work. A full decade of shitting on Trump and the end result is that he’s more popular than ever.

I feel like a lot of postwar US cooking could be explained by the following facts:

• A Americans lived through the great depression
• All Americans lived through world war rationing
• A huge portion of Americans grew up in a world where things like refrigeration, grocery stores, etc didn’t exist.

The end result was the food equivalent of giving a thirteen year old from the 1990s a smartphone for the first time. Just pure disgusting excess with no real rhyme or reason.

I feel like in a few years Valve is gonna have another go at Steamboxes, and both Sony and Microsoft are going to end up being caught off guard.

Well duh that’s what they Keyblade is for

If you think this is a conservative thing I really don’t know what to tell you. Anyone who has been paying attention for the last five years could tell you that this is a problem that goes beyond political affiliation.

Lol maybe if you’re a white guy in a middle class neighborhood below the age of 60 that doesn’t have any open indication of being queer or a ethnic/religious minority.

Men are much more likely to be a victim of every other violent crime besides rape.

Okay but it’s 20 bucks. The person paying it is probably a relatively regular person attempting to feel special. A rich person is just buying a first class ticket without a second thought, and then arriving at the last possible second to board after chilling at the airport lounge. A really rich person isn’t flying commercial.

Yeah, but it would be fun to figure out what they actually end up doing vs the marketing hype.

Do you mean flying first class? Because that’s different than priority boarding. They are in a different section of the plane, and the people there are paying for a lot more things than boarding.

It’s a frivolous luxury that costs like $20 extra per ticket. For most people that’s just personal preference.

I’d imagine it would be more like CPU scheduling than tree traversal, but according to the article they just do it by hand now.

I know “rich” means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but “paying for priority boarding” should not be included in a reasonable definition of the word.

See I have to believe at least some of this shit was because the leader of that group was a federal informant. This is the kind of thing the FBI agents in Ms Congeniality would think is funny.

I get everyone hates Elon but SpaceX is primarily run by someone extremely competent who does a good job at keeping him out of most of it.

It’s frustrating seeing the dichotomy between how the FAA handles Boeing versus SpaceX.

The FAA more or less rubber stamped Boeing for years. A lot of “FAA inspections” were just Boeing inspections that the FAA signed off on at the end. They’ve made some moves to fix that after the 737 Max debacle, but are still dragging their feet. For example reports came out that Boeing managers were rushing planes to completion before the strike, and the FAA didn’t really do shit about it.

Meanwhile with SpaceX they seem to have this “leave no stone unturned” mentality.

From an outsiders perspective, the FAA’s willingness to do their job seems to be very variable in a way that makes me wonder if there aren’t ulterior motives.

I’m pretty sure the subtitle of this article was altered since the initial release. The first one was something like “I feel worse now that I’m not being catcalled, and I hate the patriarchy for making me feel that way”.

Her articles generally consisted of some valid points on feminism mixed with absolutely outrageous statements and claims. The latter was intentionally designed to offend, because the mid 2010s was the peak ragebait era for news.

As a sidenote I think a huge portion of toxicity in the culture war is just bad faith actors trying to use it to make a profit.

The uncomfortable truths I was referring to was a culture of anti male sexism in parts of the democratic party, as well as a consistent minimization of issues affecting young men.x

Yeah but that ends up making everything worse. There’s a whole industry of people who feed off of outrage to grift and push radical opinions. The biggest offenses aren’t even related to gender. As a society we aren’t even able to have a nuanced conversation about benign issues like gas stoves. I don’t know how we’re ever really supposed to tackle bigger issues such as gender when shit like that causes mass outrage.

Yeah. One of the lowkey things I’m hoping in a Trump loss is a more nuanced discussion. I feel like you can’t criticize certain things without being called some far right maga incel. It’s exhausting.
