- Comment on Totalitarianism. What are the good things about it? 9 months ago:
Yeah, I am shocked how many people regard exercising their autonomy as a punishment rather than a privileged, and they seem to genuinely hate it and want someone to tell them what to do with their life and what to think.
- Comment on How is woke a religion? 9 months ago:
They go to the lecture and just scream so that that person can't present.
- Comment on How is woke a religion? 9 months ago:
Lots of 'woke' people are shitty people. I've had way too many experiences in the past few years with 'woke' people screaming at me about how I need to read more women authors or I'm a shitty awful human being. Or other equally absurd things, like I'm a bigot if I don't ask you what your pronoun is. If you have a pronoun preference, how about you tell me? Just like you tell someone how to pronounce your name if it's non-standard.
I know lots of progressive people, and I am progressive. But I would never say I am 'woke'. People who self-identify 'woke' tend to be mentally ill crazy people in my encounters, and use their politics as an excuse for abusive and hostile behavior just the way right-wing nazi nutbags do.
Hell I even had a transwoman assault me verbally one day while I was just reading a book in a cafe. Comes up to me and demands that I give her my table because I'm a white cis guy and I should give up my 'privileged' to her. My small business has been harassed by 'woke' activists who demand we give them money or they will say we are anti-black/lgbt+, etc. That's not woke, that's blackmail.
Most 'woke' people I meet are basically 20 sometime trust-fund types who need a cause to give her their miserable lives purpose, because god knows they can't get their shit together and do something positive with their lives. If they did maybe they'd stop being such awful abusive people who threaten and harass others.

- Comment on Why shouldn’t firearm manufacturers be held accountable for the use of their weapons in crimes? 9 months ago:
we don't need to do that. we just need to restrict stuff like 50 round magazines.

- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 9 months ago:
speak for yourself. in my city people shame you for not tipping 30%.
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 9 months ago:
yes. nightlight in my city is predominantly wealthy people.
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 9 months ago:
parental money and credit cards.
my work hires lots of 22 year olds. most of them are getting an extra 1-2K from the bank of mom and dad per month.
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 9 months ago:
yeah i'm not even counting tipping. that shit is insane. lots of places in my city now want a 20% tip, and a 5% fee. on top of a 9% tax. So basically your mean is now 35% more than the prices in the menu.
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 9 months ago:
speak for yourself. same here. i still go to concerts and come home at 1am. at least concerts are still affordable and like 20 bucks.
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 9 months ago:
not even a walmart. where i live it's a neiman marcus. if you don't have $2000 to drop on a single coat, GTFO.
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 9 months ago:
Yeah you can control small things and fix them.
However, healthcare, education, and housing are rapidly becoming out of reach for the majority of people. That isn't a small thing any one person can fix on their own.
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 9 months ago:
I don't go out because post covid everything costs 100% more and is 100% worse.
I spend $60 on two beers and a mcdonalds quality hamburger + fries last week. F that. in 2019 that would have been 20 bucks. in a place that was crowded and it took me like 30m to get my food. and almost every place is like that now. double the price for half the service or quality of product.
if going out was fun and affordable I'd do it more. I went out regularly before covid. I just don't want to have to drop 30-40 bucks for a single beer and junk food meal anytime i want to socialize.
