I wouldn't strike right away, no. But, after noticing that she has Tom Waits on her phone case, I'd furiously google Tom Waits trivia and then, after memorizing a handful of obscure facts, I'd track her down and aggressively grill her on the singer despite the only album I'm able to name off the top of my head being "Rain Dogs". In the likely case that she didn't know about Waits' lawsuit against a 1988 advertisement for Salsa Rio Doritos, I'd say something like, "oh so you're not like a diehard 'TW' fan" and then laugh about how people "put the craziest stuff on their cellular phone cases."

The PUA quizzes are so cringe. Just smile, say hi, and see how they respond. That's it. Also it's so weird that there are all these imaginary proposed scenarios where they think it's ok to try to pick up women. You don't just do that anywhere anytime.

Also increasingly concerning in my dotage that "she is way too young for me to be even thinking about that" is never a concern.

I do quite often wonder about the critical mass of people it takes for a revolution to kick off and think about those protest signs from 1917 with 17-letter words in Russian cursive and I wonder, just how many collective IQ points did we as a species lose to leaded gas

Vib Rib posted:I do agree that the long, overly precise language of stuff like this is really offputting. But plenty of short, punchy, accessible slogans that drop nuance for impact get devoured by the conservative propaganda machine all the same anyway. A lot of the people that need to be convinced the most are those actively resisting it, so entrenched in their dogma that no combination of words will be the ones to bypass their defenses and convince them. The right wing media circuit will always attack. If the message is too precise and long, the media will attack it for being elitist and out of touch. If the message is short and punchy, the media will attack it by deliberately misinterpreting it. There's no point in trying to counter their strategy. It's better to just use simpler messages that are accessible and can be discussed easily than overly complicated ones that laypeople won't even bother trying to understand. It's all a numbers game. Most of them can't be convinced but I'd rather use a strategy with a 5% chance than a 0% chance

Different language works for different situations. The tweet isn't a call to action on a poster at a protest, it's tweet trying to put a complex idea into a short paragraph. It doesn't even seem that jargon-y aside from 'paradigm' and 'neoliberal', which are pretty well used terms on Twitter discourse. Could it be simplified? Sure, but they may have lost some nuance.

According to Yglesias they should have tweeted "Equality now!" and called it a day. He just really cares about effective messaging. Oh wait he's just concern trolling and his real objection is to progressives calling America a racist country and disparaging capitalism
