Hey, chasing republican votes didn’t work this time, but I’m sure it will next time. Definitely don’t try appealing to the left.

Stop remaking movies and sequels nobody asked for! Fucking hell, pay writers for original material.

I have never been in a domicile in Texas that did not have something Texas-shaped in plain view.
- Comment on Ouch my texicles 4 weeks ago:
Texas is the most self-obsessed state. California isn’t too far behind, but I imagine Alaska and Hawaii are both contenders for 2nd place as well.
- Comment on The original Facebook was something we’ll never get back 4 weeks ago:
That’s because it was in it’s money-losing “growth” phase. The Facebook we have today was always the point.

They just copy whatever the republicans were doing like 10 years ago.

I’m not talking about “Liberalism”, I’m talking about “liberals”. They aren’t driving me crazy because of some obscure philosophical tenets, though “scarcity harm reduction” might do it.

I agree with pretty much everything you’ve said. I still get frustrated sometimes though!

I genuinely don’t know how to take this comment. Is it serious? Is it ironic? I’ve dealt with a lot of angry liberals today, so I feel it could be serious. On the other hand it’s giving ::Randy Marsh in handcuffs:: and so I think it might be a bit.

I vibe with both anarchists (cool, helpful) and communists (smart, boring). Liberals drive me crazier everyday.

- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
It doesn’t matter why the republican base believes in their party. Incidentally, you’re not entirely wrong about why, but they’ve had rebellion too: see the TEA party.
The democrat party strategy is different. Their base isn’t aggrieved axe-grinders. They’re earnest believers in the system. The problem is that the leadership doesn’t actually want to accomplish anything that would threaten corporate profits. Trump is great for them, since all they have to do is not be him! Policies be damned.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
It’s because democrats are unwilling or unable to deliver on real policies for working people. Of course, republicans are the same, but they more or less don’t even pretend to, choosing instead to whip up their constituents with culture war nonsense. Nobody has any faith in things improving. Repubs just want to get revenge on their cultural enemies, and democrats (voters) just want to prevent a total slide toward the far right.
Dem politicians can’t whip up excitement because it is impossible to get people excited by neoliberal policies, but that’s really all they have. Vague platitudes only work so many election cycles in a row before voters just can’t even pretend to be excited anymore.
tl:dr republicans are awful but at least their base believes them.

- Comment on Do other languages have similar acronyms to 'tbh', 'imo', 'smh', etc? 4 months ago:
In Thai, the number ‘5’ is pronounced like “haa”, so Thai people write 555 to signify laughter, similar to ‘lol’.

I quit smoking when Marlboros went over $2/pack lol. Airports had these awful rooms where all the smokers would cram in and hotbox. Other countries are still like it used to be here in the US. Japan comes to mind as one such bad example. If you ask for a non-smoking table in a restaurant, they just sit you at any random table and put a little “no smoking” sign on it!

- Comment on Cop busted for unauthorized use of Clearview AI facial recognition resigns 5 months ago:
That’s what ACAB means though. You cannot trust cops, because there’s no real accountability for them. Why is there no accountability? Because their colleagues lie for them, their bosses lie for them, the prosecutors decline to prosecute them, judges trust them implicitly, their unions intimidate mayors and lobby politicians for more funding, tougher laws (for non-cops) and less accountability for themselves.
The system is so fucked up that reforming it seems like a waste of time. Actual “good cops” get squeezed out or worse. You might as well assume that ACAB, because the stakes are too high to assume otherwise.
