Apropos of not much but they evidently they both went to Hunter College High School, which is basically the Harvard of public high school.

I'm not the typical Chapo listener and I don't think the rest of the questions are awful or anything, but I was going to say the first point was the only one I was interested in hearing their response to.

I don't know why I get fatalistic with some folks and not others, but with Rogan I think he is just a thick dude doing his best. Doesn't mean I am going to listen to him, though.

It's also the same thing they pointed out about Garland, in the accepting-Republican-frame way, i.e. "surely they'll have to care about this, otherwise they will be revealed as hypocrites!". Conservatives are supposed to be the ones freaked out about Russia etc.

My main issue was always that it was a very close election so yeah maybe it (or 1000 other things you could choose to highlight instead) "caused" Hilary to lose, but I still couldn't care about inflammatory facebook posts or whatever since Real Americans made thousands of those on their own.

Yeah, I'm admittedly a little on the spectrum but I think every critical paper I wrote in high school English and probably into freshman year of college was firmly in the "this represents that" tradition.

It's probably the money, yeah. The other specifics, based on how things have everywhere forever (i.e. I could be totally off): If they're dirtbag leftists it's probably because they resent New Yorkers / hipsters / rich armchair socialists who don't do things. If they're intellectual/theoretical leftists it's because Chapo isn't left enough or the wrong kind of left.

I play and enjoy video games and whatever the gist of the negative things that Matt said about video games was I'm sure he was totally right about. Agree that his cynicism kind of bleeds over his blindspots about the population/electorate at large. Also, please vote even if it won't get us out of this mess.

I was thinking through the whole Hunter story that he's a much better fit for the "diamond Joe" Onion treatment. Like he's too upscale for it to fit the white trash mold exactly but it's pretty close otherwise.

Isekai* can be a formula for a person to unmoor a narrative from the grinding pinions of society in order to completely and fully tell on themselves, unfortunately. If they're all terrible yeah you start to wonder if it shades towards a culture telling on itself, though presumably the genre is not attracting the best / "is not sending us their best". Not that US culture is any prize, mind you. *and, to a lesser extent, science fiction and fantasy generally... but I think having things start on earth (generally) means you're basically reading/watching somebody's daydream. pangstrom fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Nov 8, 2019 |

It will be roughly the same story there, 538 is a little better but it wouldn't matter to your average person and there is a ton of noise regardless of how good your system is... especially if "nonvoting" demos actually turn up to vote at higher rates.

Of note to goons, it seems mormons can "give up" on weirdos in their families and communities. Not to the extent Scientologists will call people suppressive people or whatever, but still a thing. Presumably it started in part because of the polygamy (had to cull dudes because there weren't enough women to go around), though women will get pressured out too if they're apostates or whatever. Anyway this obviously happens in every religion / community to some extent I just tend to hear from / meet mormon ones more often. I grew up in Colorado and some of them would land there, though we had a share of just normal mormons too. Anyway, it's tempting to say they're doing them a favor or whatever but it screws people up. (I have not seen "big love" though supposedly this is a theme in the show.)
