https://twitter.com/yashar/status/871538731043258368 Pretty good read. Spoiler alert: because Trumpists refuse to actually fill State Department vacancies (because they can't trust civil servants apparently) everybody is running around with their hair on fire. This line is particularly great: quote:It’s also led foreign governments to seek out other avenues of communication. Trump has nominated only a handful of U.S. ambassadors, and some countries have responded simply by reaching out directly to Hook or to other White House officials, including Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

The one from this April or last August? April, I think. Where he said "Congratulations" to the guy he was giving the purple heart to and you could see that man die a little more inside.

All the GOP needs to do is poach enough Hispanics each cycle + voter disenfranchisement to equal or exceed the number of whites who die off. At this rate (more hispanics voted for Trump than Romney) they'll stay afloat for a while, or even make gains as they did last year. We will continue to see voter suppression increase and as long as it stays gradual there won't be any consequences for the GOP.

Most people play video games of some sort. Those people who do it enough or play the types of games to identify as "gamers" are the worst.

Hating gamers because there are some lovely people who play games is pretty scummy. I play games and have no knowledge of this subculture of lovely people.

They're going to keep trying to do things, but there isn't an infinite amount of voter suppression available.

Basically the internet KKK, but somehow more misogynistic and racist because they can hide behind internet anonymity.

Fair enough, I was thinking that communities started to pool when early MMOs came out. quote:Comic books, sports, tabletop gaming, cars..does any widely held hobby NOT have a pocket of irredeemable shitheads? I'm imagining birdwatchers doxx female hobbyists and claim it was a part of birding identity.

I encountered someone who tried to kill themselves by shooting themselves and taking pills. Turns out the pills made them super drousy, so they missed, their son came in the room to find out what happened and they killed their son because they though he was a intruder.

Anytime someone responds to "group X has a problem" with "but I'm a member of group X and I don't have that problem", they are actively moving the discussion away from trying to solve the problem.
