This reminds me of the show 24, where each season they would latch on to some technical object or process and try to insert it into every episode to seem relevant. I think it was season 3 or 4 where everything had to be data mined - despite data mining being a relatively specific term.

Recovered hard drive from a terrorist laptop? Data mine that for me.
Broken cell phone found at the scene of a crime? Data mine that for me.
Chunk of metal found at the site of a bombing? Data mine that for me.
Witness to a crime 7 miles away from anything relevant to the show? Data mine them for me.

Pretty sure that's one of the big reasons that Florida is pretty much blood red now.

That, along with a stunningly inept Democratic Party here in this state but that's a whole other subject.

EXISTENCE IS PAIN😬

BiggerBoat posted:

I swear to god, man, do the US flag, punisher, AK47, Thin Blue Line decals and obnoxiously loud pipes on F-150's come pre-installed?

I absolutely LOATHE what I see as the ubiquitous performative pseudo patriotism I see everywhere here in NE Florida. It really sucks that the moment I see someone going overboard with USA USA USA branding - or even doing it at all - that I automatically assume they're a fascist. I try REALLY hard not to make snap judgements like that but when someone comes into my work place with a camouflage American flag hat or some poo poo, I can't help myself.

Also, I increasingly notice that the regular old US flag is simply not enough anymore. It'll have red/blue lines, fish, guns patterns, black stripes, camo texture, deer antlers, crosses or whatever the gently caress these goobers are trying to tell us about What They Like, Why It's Cool and Why They're The Salt of the Earth that demands immediate respect.

"Hey, I'm Earl and I love America, fishing and hunting!" so I'm a good person who votes Republican like a True American!"

It's similar to how wound up they get about standing for the anthem, worshipping troops and sucking up to cops. I notice that when they have one of those "I LOVE POLICE" stickers, it's always ALWAYS right there on the rear driver's side so the officer can see it and maybe let the person go with a warning for speeding, rolling coal or violating noise ordinances.

Speaking of that, 20 years ago or so, white rednecks were very VERY up in arms about loud cars - specifically ones that amplified the bass on loud hip hop music - to the point that they actually tried to/succeeded in passing laws about it but, now, every god damned Americamobile I drive past goes out of its way to be as loud as humanly possible.
We've discussed it before, but conservatives really go over the top with in group signaling. They love to scream from the rafters about their loyalty and their contempt for their outgroup as this reinforces their affiliation to one another.

There's a natural contradiction of course, as they simultaneously crave conformity yet see themselves as mavericks in a sea of sheeple. I think in a way it's the product of mixed messaging they get growing up. You need to follow common sense and study what works socially, yet you will only get anywhere by showing initiative and innovation. The result is this really surreal form of performative behavior

They also create this narrative for themselves about the world. For instance they seem to think everyone secretly agrees with them, they're desperate to be validated. They think the world has gone upside down but it's okay because people will eventually come to their senses, they can only lie to themselves for so long. So having a big loud showy truck not only exists to "trigger the libs" but to reassure others that they are on the "right" side of history, so to speak.

The democrats need to take a leaf out of the Karl Rove book and just go straight at Trump on age. “Trump’s too old to be president, he’s senile” etc. If you’re perceived as weak on something attack the other side for it. It makes their strong attack look like meaningless tit-for-tat, instead of the media always and only asking “Is Joe Biden too old”.

You're also getting all the complete imbeciles from Jacksonville who insist that Duval County is every bit the hellhole they've been told New York and LA are. They don't want to give up their job though, so they'll just move across the county line and live in the utopia that is St. Johns County while working in Mad Max Jax. Always people who were living at the beaches or the intercoastal too.

I think this is the first time I've seen an article about a single fact in a study which itself refutes the article in the abstract. Obviously I don't have access to the full study, but based on the title and abstract I'm comfortable giving this 5 screaming Pinocchio's held for clinical treatment.

How much of it is the grift and how much of it is legit brain worms is impossible for anyone not part of the Liver Royalty to determine. The few appearances of the Liver Princes that I've seem have had them acting far too normally for them to actually live the promotional media presentation.

Reading his e-mail to the doc he was tryingto get to adjust his $12,000 a month worth of steroids and hormones, he's entirely rational and cool-headed, so at least then, the bluster and such were 100% grift.

He seems to have amped it up since the scandal, and who knows how the stress of the exposure plus trying to stay on the influencer treadmill have affected him since. But I'd still bet on grifter trying to lock in the attention of fickle hogs.

Oh the "fitness" part is all grift. I'm talking about the non-fitness primal parts like sleeping on wooden beds, no shoes, questionable hygiene, no wifi, and putting all electronics inside faraday cages when entering the house. The less roided out caveman media antics of his lifestyle grift.

He's on tens of thousands of dollars a month of roids and flexing as had as he can. Probably a little dehydrated, but not nearly like for an actual photoshoot or movie scene where you would have planned out a diet an hydration routine for weeks to reach peak on a specific day.

- shout into mirror a bunch

- make tiktoks telling people how to get his PRIMAL BOD with the power of getting sunburnt and force feeding yourself raw meat until you're 65% trichinosis by volume
