so is it better if ossoft wins or loses

I mean he's a centrist but at least not a trumptard and losing will be very demoralizing to the dems and we have to read bitchell and turmp's gloating tweets

otoh winning might just make the democrats complacent for 2018 and maybe blow it despite all possible advantages

Democrats winning means republicans losing. Republicans losing is ALWAYS good. Centrists, neoliberals, socialists, Bernie bros, what the gently caress ever just get the chuds out of office and then we can worry about the finer points of intersectional socialism.

And not normal jenkem, more like an over pressurized jenkem bottle exploding in your face, shooting fermented poo poo into your eyes and nose and mouth, and cutting you up with little plastic bits, and then the cuts get infected with flesh eating bacteria, and then you end up looking like ted cruz

yeah, pretty much. also part of it is there's no reason to dress well when all you can expect to get is poo poo jobs and poo poo wages, so you might as well just throw on whatever fits

Power Causes Brain Damage


hi day crew,

here is an article that you should read

several quotes from the article, if you will indulge

quote:

It can even make Henry Kissinger believe that he’s sexually magnetic.
:frogon:

quote:

Subjects under the influence of power, he found in studies spanning two decades, acted as if they had suffered a traumatic brain injury—becoming more impulsive, less risk-aware, and, crucially, less adept at seeing things from other people’s point of view.
:smugdon:

quote:

But more important, Keltner says, is the fact that the powerful stop mimicking others. Laughing when others laugh or tensing when others tense does more than ingratiate. It helps trigger the same feelings those others are experiencing and provides a window into where they are coming from. Powerful people “stop simulating the experience of others,” Keltner says, which leads to what he calls an “empathy deficit.”
:smugdon:

quote:

Power, the research says, primes our brain to screen out peripheral information. In most situations, this provides a helpful efficiency boost. In social ones, it has the unfortunate side effect of making us more obtuse. Even that is not necessarily bad for the prospects of the powerful, or the groups they lead.

Power makes you smooth brained but thats okay, we need smoothbrained leaders right?

quote:

“Hubris syndrome,” as he and a co-author, Jonathan Davidson, defined it in a 2009 article published in Brain, “is a disorder of the possession of power, particularly power which has been associated with overwhelming success, held for a period of years and with minimal constraint on the leader.” Its 14 clinical features include: manifest contempt for others, loss of contact with reality, restless or reckless actions, and displays of incompetence.
:abuela:

Just read that Trump is going to make those ACA payments to health insurers for June. The cost-sharing reduction payments for low-income people he was threatening to cutoff.

What a cuck.

Tho GOP gonna cut them anyway in their new bill.
