Attraction is partially influenced by pheremones, seemingly as an evolutionary trait to select sexual partners with compatible genetics. Seeing as children share their parents genes, and we know the parents of step-siblings are attracted to each other, well, it seems like there's some genetic predisposition.

On John Oliver's show last night part of the blame of a Trump election was put on the fake news sites / clickbait people constantly share on Facebook. Apparently 44% of people get their news solely on Facebook, or from their echo chamber (both liberals and conservatives, although the conservatives are worse about it). Unfortunately there isn't a clip of just that segment yet, just the whole episode. Relevant part starts around 10:09.

Apparently it's also geoblocked, unlike other Last Week Tonight segments.

Weird.

Loch Ness monster bit from South Park. It's one of those shows Redditors/Imgurians love to quote, along with Archer or Rick and Morty.

With no context, I'd guess it was a racist transliteration of "three fifty."

Without seeing the context, it's a South Park joke. Chef's heavily-accented black parents live in Scotland and they keep telling stories that end with the revelation that another person was the Loch Ness monster in disguise, trying to trick them into giving it three dollars and fifty cents.

On imgur, blocking freeways is such a heinous, unforgivable crime that nothing really compares to it.

I feel like it boils down to people looking for excuses to discredit/dismiss those they disagree with. See also the use of "thugs" when describing BLM. The irony is getting people angry and drawing lots of media attention is the mark of a successful protest.

You should always be polite to people who want to treat you like a lower class of human. If you feel hurt or betrayed when someone you love says something terrible about a marginalized group, well, that's your fault not theirs!

Also make sure you preface any response with a stilted paragraph-long diatribe about how you still respect them, even though they don't respect you.

Everytime I've heard someone try to explain how "we'll survive, it ain't that bad" has been from people who don't really get targeted by the Trump policies.

I get the whole "understand why people voted for Trump, it's not always because they are bigoted" thing. But empathy is a two-way street, so everybody better be willing to work at it. I guarantee you some people saying "you made us libtards" would be apocalyptic over a Clinton presidency. Fear and rage is a universal thing.

I mean, he did say it would be a great wall. I choose to interpret that as it will be of outstanding quality and architecture.
