Yeah nobody ever seems to account for relative population.

It's not even just Republicans.

I heard a piece a few weeks ago where Rachel Maddow on her show was contrasting the death toll between the USA (it was then around 35k) and the Republic of Ireland (then about 500) and saying about how much better they were doing. And the whole time I'm thinking "Wait. Does she not know how small the population of Ireland is?". In reality the death rate was pretty much tied at the time and subsequently the Republic has unfortunately pulled ahead.

As far as I know Ireland is actually being a lot better about its records than a lot of places, including as many deaths as possible, whereas a lot of places have a covid death count and a mysterious extra number of excess deaths over their baseline for that period the previous year that definitely isn't covid related.

Which is another counfounding factor.

I don't know what eternal September is either

When the internet was still just a network of message boards between a bunch of universities, each september with the new intake of students there would be an influx of new users unfamiliar with posting ettiquette, thus making it a rough time for established users.

When AOL (I think) first opened it up to basically anyone, this new user influx never stopped. The internet was flooded with more and more people who had no grounding in the established traditions of the net at that time, to the point they basically entirely usurped the original culture and replaced it with their own. Much to the annoyance of the old guard. Thus every day since then has been the eternal september.

There was also a response to that tweet that said "America is basically the only place on earth where its socially acceptable to be a grown-rear end man who openly enjoys vids and pro wrestling. It's utterly mysterious."

I felt like I fell into a wormhole and was transported into a hacky 80s school comedy movie where people are still made fun of for liking video games lol

Gotta say I definitely don't think we should live in a society whereby my desire to meticulously plan out every aspect of an underground bunker for people to live in should be realized. Video games are definitely better at some things than real life.

I got in an argument with a girl once about how tipping was better because otherwise the server would do the bare minimum, and how she hated the lazy servers when she went to Europe.

And this woman was an australian living in the US, and a loving server. It blew my mind.

When I lived in France restaurant culture is definitely different but it's less lazy servers and more that the whole eating out experience is more relaxed. It's way better than the US (or Canada to be fair) where the server has to constantly check up on you and the interaction is more like butler-employer than person-person. Like who in the US actually enjoys the server refilling your drink when it's 3/4 full or coming back to see if everything tastes good when you're still chewing your first goddam bite or even waiting for the food to cool? Is this a boomer thing?

Come to think of it's totally a boomer thing. I'm sure there's a boomer out there right now leaving a bad yelp review for the local Pizza Hut because contactless delivery denies them the pleasure of looking that servant in the eye when they draw a line through the "gratuity" box

I'm struggling to imagine what a "lazy server" looks like, like the only thing I need is to say what I want to eat and for you to move it between the kitchen and the table. Or possibly between the vat behind the glass to a plate. Otherwise just be on your phone or something I dunno.

I've only ever once eaten somewhere that had a weird hovering waiter and it was dire. No idea who would want to pay for that.

Kinda wild how humanity ever made it out of the hunter gatherer phase given how incredibly specific our dietary requirements apparently are. But then I guess back then nutritional supplements roamed wild in the forests and you could just punch one out and eat it right there.

I think that's one someone presumably sent him. Given that it reads "How can you, a minister of the gospel of jesus christ, be such a deceitful hypocrite? You're not fooling anyone but yourself in your nauseating talk about non violence. You demand a program to overcome poverty and [something I can't read] high living and (sinning?) all (over the globe?) to feed your own egotism."

I'm sure the king center used to have a big online archive of documents but they seem to have taken it down?

Anyway, it's another "all real women agree with me" thing from the TERFs. The status of "real woman" is becoming a smaller and more exclusive club by the day.

I think it's more that they refuse to acknowledge the concept of oppression, they think it's something made up, an affectation. Because libertarians don't believe in material conditions or societal effects. Except the government which is also made up and bad (but real)

So, let's assume that one is a gay trans man, but cannot afford the expensive medical process to transition. If you listen to this bloke, all you have to do is gently caress a lot of other men, and their essence, energy and life force, until you become just like those men. I am understanding him right yes?

I think it actually only works as a kind of force mascing. Doesn't work if you already identify as male.
