  • We broadly agree about .ml as a whole, but not on how you're treating this individual. You don't convince anyone of anything this way, it makes them identify more strongly with whatever you're attacking. That, too, is part of how we got to this ruinous moment. Prejudice, in a word.

    In any case, debating fascists has always been a bad idea. Fascists are not good faith participants in any debate, and their seat at the table only ever serves to normalise their twisted views, and spoil any chance at the healthy interplay of competing ideas.

  • Shitty way to act when someone drops a normal opinion. Don't be tribalistic

  • Oh interesting, there are cool people here

  • Another skeleton in the closet

  • Don't remind me.

  • Built-in spreadsheet capabilities 🙀

  • We never seem to skip the bit where a gen Xer points out genX erasure.

  • Assassination for thee but not for me

  • I think the first meme was a hand axe, if I may be both painfully literal and maximum 'actually'

  • I've only ever done the one Reddit hosted years ago. What's the vibe with this one, do you think a kid would be okay joining in? He can handle rude language, but I'd rather him not see anything overtly sexualised.

  • Are you sedentary? Could be exercise I guess. I'm out of ideas otherwise, boo hiss

  • Oh shit. Maybe caffeine is secretly the problem? Maybe it's depression? Maybe you need iron? There are a lot of things it could be, I'm just listing things off the top of my head. Sorry though, I do know how much chronic fatigue sucks.

  • Recently had my wife do a sleep study. We're vacillating between getting her into a CPAP machine and doing a weight loss program to help with the sleep apnea. She's just the same, constantly at a lower level of energy and life quality, it has limited her in a lot of ways in recent years.

  • It's a messy picture with cops, too because that job so strongly attracts cluster B personality types. You're not just working a job that is institutionally trying to drive you crazy (Killology seminars and all), but the job itself is highly attractive to the most unstable people in society.

  • Mens mental health is already a disaster, but in the airline industry it's made worse by the fact that you can lose your piloting license just by seeking help. This is a tragic story. I've joked about this story elsewhere, but I've learned more about it since then.

  • Fuck this world

  • Exactly, it's only cancelled if they've been made commercially nonviable - and in a corporate/political landscape that is openly fascistic, that is a much blurrier line. Like when Ben Kissel got taken off Last Podcast, he has been pretty much fully cancelled. Full stop, career over. I just wish it was always so cut and dried.

  • Weaponized tribalism

  • It's just crazy to me how self-defeating that whole mindset is. If you were a rogue nation with a power-driven agenda of conquest, wouldn't you demand only the coldest, hardest facts from your underlings? I would.

  • If he nukes Ukraine, or anybody he's been threatening to nuke for the last however long, it's over for him. Russians lost the last nuclear standoff because it's obvious they know it's a lose-lose scenario to drop a nuke. They've been trying to reclaim the madman gambit ever since, but only idiots are buying it.
