My biggest takeaway from this is being reminded that Kellyanne Conway's marriage sucks and hopefully her kids will hate her if they don't already. I forgot about George.

Gotta find comfort in the little things.

edit: Also there's a non-zero chance that at some point we find out this summer/fall that the White House and Fox News were broadcasting a closed circuit fake news feed to Trump just to keep him placated.

It's one poll and the margin of error is 7.4%.

We can celebrate when the aggregate is under 38%.

Edit: And the 35% number was for "all adults." Likely voters are 44.1% approval on that survey.

Basically, the survey is... not great evidence by itself.

I believe the phrase is "why not both?"

Ultimately it doesn't matter to me why they're doing it. If Republicans want to torture each other and make their lives miserable I don't have to celebrate them or accept them as allies but I'm happy to sit back and watch to make myself feel a little better. At the very least they're hopefully teaching their kids that their parents really are the worst monsters.

On a sidenote, I hope all the people who support Trump and rail against the protests and BLM and whatnot don't just fade away into a bush when he's gone, only for them to reemerge like they supported the right thing all along. People need to be held accountable for their lovely actions and opinions.

Getting lost in the shuffle with Trump being batshit crazy is the fact that Georgia heard people talking about "systemic racism" and apparently thought it was a request for more. Just a casual dry run for making sure that only white people can vote in elections

All I can think of is the scene in Shawshank redemption where tim Robbins did a letter writing campaign and wrote a letter a week. They bent a bit and sent him some stuff. His takeaway was to start sending two letters a week.

This is where we start sending two letters a week. Cops slowdown and just like last time, things are fine. People turn around and say "can we have it like this all the time?".

I cannot for the life of me find the name of it now, but when I was about 16 I read a book of shortstories that was modern authors' take on Hell. The two I remember were one that might have been called "One Way Ticket", about a guy so burned out on his life that he just buys a one-way ticket to hell, choosing some weird BDSM sex circle of hell where he will forever have sex with a demoness, and never orgasm.

Anyway, the other story I remember, is about Hitler finding himself in hell, which is a personal hell just for him, where he is going to be alone and be totally unrecognized for his vast acts of evil, he's just another useless incarcerated soul, no more or less special than any other, and this idea was absolutely intolerable to him and that was the end of the story. In my brain, that story was called "Hell Is Personal" or "Hell Is For You".

I am unable to find any evidence of this book's existence on the internet. A historian appears to have written a whole book about Hitler In Hell which has distorted my searching.

The point is, that I think being in an anonymous place where he was forced to realize how not-special he is, would also be a Hell for Tromp.

That scene was so great because he was smart enough to know what most around him did not: you don't just cave and walk away for a token response gesture. That's a test, a test of your resolve. That's the time to up the pressure because now they're trying to play games and palm you off cheap.

loving "gamers" man. I love how this particular type of "gamer" is obsessed with telling you how they're going to boycott every game or every console every couple weeks or so for some utterly ridiculous reason before going right back to playing the next hot release or current favorite. It's among the most performative things you can see on the internet. Because this video is so loving ridiculous and got laughed at by a lot of people it's by far this guys most viewed video ever it turns out with most clocking in in the triple digits.

The sad irony is most people including myself would be over the moon if these people actually would pack up and leave one of my favorite hobbies to chill to alone for good with all their weird extreme white fragility bullshit and histrionics, but sadly they won't and decent everyday people have to continue to deal with this sort of person being a particularly loud voice and face of the gaming community. It's like this combination of intense self-loathing, being permanently and painfully "very online", and trying to bring everyone else down into the poo poo with them.

One of the weirdest thing about this era is finding out just how many people around my age that would otherwise fit into my demographic of mid-30's white male guy that count video games as a hobby are in fact broken as loving poo poo excuses for human beings that are so loving fragile they take messages about Black Lives Matter to be some personal attack on them. They're loving everywhere in the online gaming community too nowadays. Like just.....to be so permanently self-centered and self-entitled that they think everything they don't like about a video game or video game companies practices (for whatever usually dumb reason) is a directed personal attack on them (never mind how you possibly get "anti-white" from black lives matter) just to start.......:suicide:

Or for the TL;DR, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL9rSwrsMHw&t=125s,what most people I guess mistakenly hoped was the situation and in fact figured was until they found out unlike Joe Pesci the guy wasn't bullshitting.
