Having such a cut-and-dry single issue comes with the responsibility to do your research and confirm what's being said.

It's not wrong to disqualify voting for someone because of one extremely important factor, but you also need to recognize how easy it is for bad actors to cultivate your distrust.

If I were an undercover right-wing social media account, I'd be going into every Dem candidate post's and asking "um...didn't they take money from Israel?"

It's such a (rightfully) red line for many voters, that even having that question posed is enough to make thousands of people disillusioned.

Apparently James Buchanan (US pres #15) is the only president who never married.

I'm not saying he was our first gay pres but there wasn't a whole lot to do in the 1800's!

It's not like now, where you can play horny gatcha games for 4000 hours and let life pass you by. Socializing was all you had!

Mentally, I'm still there.

I CANNOT STOP LISTENING TO 'CRAZY DAYS' FROM MEWGENICS.

I'M A DUELING FOOL AT THE STRIKE OF NOON, GONNA RIDE A RACCOON STRAIGHT TO THE MOON.

Starting to see apathetic conservatives pivot to, "it doesn't matter if the GOP or Dems are in control, nothing ever changes..."

Brother, you're a straight white guy from Colorado.

Of course nothing changes in your life. No one is trying to fuck with you.

Ai should come with a certain level of disdain for human beings.

Not to the level of wiping everyone out, but if your net worth ticks over a certain amount it should categorize you as a hostile entity and put you in a Saw trap.

Companies will soon devolve into just one guy who owns the IP and all the robots that maintain the IP---leaving him with no one to care when he is crushed to death by a haphazardly stacked pile of cash.

Don't cry over split milk?? Have you tried cleaning that mess up? It's one of the most annoying things to try and sop up. The fat content leaves a weird residue that doesn't go away.

I'd rather wipe up a steaming cup of piss I'd somehow spilled (you'd never catch my piss slacking)

That said, the more interactions you have with YouTube folk the more the mysticism and aura fades.

There's still a certain weight behind someone who produces content for thousands of people, but it gets easier to tank the spiritual pressure.

The rare times I've interacted with other YouTube folks always feels surreal.

Not because of a disparity of subs or genres, but because meeting someone who is also content-pilled and mindful of video editing/thumbnail design is odd.

It's like two stray cats meeting. A strange unspoken connection.

We need a word just for human newborns.

You call something a "baby" (baby elephant, baby seal) and we know what you mean.

But call a human newborn a puppy person and it's nonsense.

'Baby' isn't unique in the same way puppy or kitten is. Human newborns all have universal titles (infant, juvenile)

The worst thing he can do is try to make it a 1 for 1 with any of the existing games.

Best case scenario is he puts his own unique spin on the series, creates an original story, and then the games build from that new direction.

Turns out, unpinning Steam from my taskbar was the key to being more productive.

Tried uninstalling, hiding, and ignoring certain games but they would still rope me back in whenever I'd say, "ehh, I'll just check the Steam homepage real quick."

Very satisfied with the work I've been getting done.

Ice bucket challenge but it's a cum bucket to raise awareness for Joe Biden's prostate cancer.

How's that for a Biden blast

The god-awful Invincible memes where the characters are loudly jacking off are infinitely more respectable than any power scaling discussions.

At least the memes will get some reaction out of you, what's the end-game of power scaling?

"This guy beats that guy." "yeah, that sounds right." BORING!!

Can't be good that I'm starting to see videos using "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked" in their edits of the news.

That shit is going to activate the Millennial sleeper agents.

It's the difference between,

"Hey, I'd love for you to do (topic) someday. I'm really hoping you do it!"

And,

"Why the fuck should I care about (topic)? You're supposed to do (other topic), it's what we're all here for. This other YouTuber is better than you cause they actually listen."

You really have to TRY to push my buttons to get that kind of response out of me.

I've only had to do it about 10 times in the last few years, but it's always sooo sweet to kick that shit aside and re-affirm my own creative autonomy.

Feedback is fine, harassment ain't.

Very rarely, I get people who try to dictate what kind of content I review and how to do it.

Not just general feedback or critiques, but straight up trying to boss me around to fit their specific performances.

Few things are as delicious as banning them or telling them to straight up fuck off.

There also always seems to be messy drama around him, stuff that goes beyond hot political takes, which makes me want to stay away.

Basic left-wing affirmations + controversy = pass

I'm much more inclined to listen/watch Zohran Mamdani's work, as he's doing governing actions AND spittin' rhetoric.

I try not to conflate a college education with intelligence, as Jordon Peterson has a PhD and he could get cooked by a high school tik toker.

I've just never heard anything from Hasan that has surprised me or expanded my way of thinking.

His content feels stagnant and bland. Not exciting or fresh.

Occasionally been asked about my thoughts on Hasan.

My take is that (from what I've seen) I don't need to form opinions from him because I've already subsumed that level of rhetoric.

He's not dumb, but the guy stopped a bachelor's and I pushed through to a terminal degree.

I can do my own work.

I've heard this fact repeated more times than I've seen the new episodes promoted.

Let's assume anyone with a passing interest in the series got the memo and just expand our scope of thought, man.

I'll always go with the tried and true, "your religious freedoms end where mine begins."

I wouldn't presume to tell others what to believe in (my friend can live and act however they please).

But if that same respect isn't a two-way street, then that's a problem.

There's definitely an important conversation about the commodifying and minimization of native beliefs, where cringe people adopt traditions as a shallow "cool" aesthetic.

But seriously calling for others to censor a word because of another's religious belief system is where you lose me.

Increasingly concerned for a friend who is starting to push their folklore beliefs onto others

They're seriously cautioning friends to "not say the w word" because they are "very real and feared spirit"

It's one thing to advocate for more respect or nuance, but saying wendigos are real is too much

You know when you're playing an online game and see a noob who barely knows the controls, and the bemusement you feel knowing you can utterly shit on them?

That's how we should regard vaccine skeptics, easy meat that feels exciting to find in the wild.

Git gud, dummy.

Big day for folks with rabbit fursonas and crazy people who think they're Jesus Christ himself.

Although there's gotta be some nut in Arkansas who fits in the middle of that particular Venn Diagram and is living large rn.

"The" as an epithet skyrocketed in the 90's and early 2000's.

All thanks to that accursed blue hedgehog!!!
