I think those kind of trainwreck people shows only work when the characters are run of the mill assholes, not when they're literal murderers or rapists or whatever . The drug lord was the most relatable person on the show. It popped up at the perfect time but after a few weeks everyone seemed to move from spectacle to "wow these are genuinely awful people".

Weird.

I had a thought awhile ago that people vote for politicians like they're voting for American Idol, i.e. not who's the most qualified but who is the most entertaining. Makes Trump make a little more sense.

Related to several pages ago but I impulse bought a mouth guard at the store today because A) I read the thread before I went out and B) I've been chewing off the side of my tongue in my sleep for a couple of months, so hopefully that'll help.

They don't care. Introspection is not strong in this group. I've had this argument more times than I can count.

It's the least intellectually curious group I've ever interacted with. I assume this is also why they're happy to have the tv and radio tell them what to think.

Do rich and well connected people even die of this any more?

No. I will admit that, and I hate to say it, I can understand how it's hard for people who see their elderly and or obese heroes get covid and not die from it to take it seriously (because they're probably not putting two and two together that they're also all rich). It's possible that all of them getting sick and surviving has done more damage then it would if they hadn't gotten sick at all.

I admittedly wasn’t paying attention until the last decade but it really seems like poo poo started going off the rails in 2012ish. It was a slower burn until then, but the wick ran out and the dynamite finally exploded. But I’m sure if I was paying attention I could’ve seen things flying off the rails after 9/11.

To steal a Josh Barroism, there will be no magical moment when Trump realizes and says that he's a loser who sucks. The grand design of the system is that it doesn't need him to realize that he's a loser who sucks.

It will be painful until January 6th, then January 20th, but then it all ends and becomes noise.

Til the next election at least.

There's some reddit post that floats around in the gbs trump thread from a guy who apparently lives somewhere deep red that pretty much says "mask wearing is perceived as a sign of weakness" in those areas, so I guess that tracks.

Yeah, I heard about the lines on the local news here in the Springs and I'm pretty sure I'll be avoiding them anyhow just from the anxiety factor. poo poo reminds me when I drove past Cookout in Nashville at any hour, but especially around midnight.

I wonder if Cookout is a roni vector down south.

Not particularly related but the closest liquor store had people lined up outside yesterday, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't enforcing occupancy limits because they've never done so before. Just shook my head and kept driving. Mind boggling to me that people would risk covid because the wine is $3 cheaper then the one 5 minutes further down the road.

Honestly from what I'm hearing from generic democrats the optics of money going overseas for anything right now are pretty bad, as much as people think that surely this time people will blame the republicans/Trump. I dunno, just my anecdotal experience.

No, I do. I just don’t care anymore. That said not changing it means things continue down the path they are now, and honestly I think you could make an argument that a total legal shield was not the best idea. I refuse to believe the only two outcomes are corpo slavery or the new dark age DX ending.

There has to be a way, along with DMCA reform, lower the liability shield and not cripple everything.

Anyway in more good news.

Proud Boys Melt Down Over Growing ‘Proud Girls’ Movement On Far-Right Social Media Site Parler

https://percolately.com/proud-boys-proud-girls-far-right/

For The Proud Boys, an extremist hate group formed four years ago in New York City, 2020 was quite the year.

But most recently the group has grabbed headlines because they simply cannot accept that a group of women online want to spread hate and tolerance too.

As the Daily Dot has reported, the Proud Boys got into a tizzy when multiple women took to social media and began to identify themselves as “The Proud Girls.”

It all went down on Parler, a Twitter-esque social media site that has become the haven for conservative thinkers.

The Daily Dot explained that users like “ProudGirls2020” and “TheProudGirlsFlorida” have been using Parler to peddle their own hateful ideals for months now.

That growing movement apparently bothered The Proud Boys so much that one of the group’s members–Proud Boys Northern Nevada–tore into an on-brand, misogynistic rant.

The tirade began with the equivalent of someone on a playground sticking their tongue out.

“Dear ‘Proud Girls.’ Stop.”

“Hijacking our fraternity because you can’t stand men having their own club is exactly why we created this club in the first place.”

“You aren’t supporting us. You’re hurting us. You’re ruining what we hold dear.”

Then, right on cue, the cartoonish gender stereotypes came out.

“Want to know how to ACTUALLY support us? Get married, have children, cultivate wonderful communities in which we can live in.”

“To save the west we need WOMEN BEING WOMEN. Not women trying to be men.”

“We beg of you, with sincere love from the bottom of our hearts, get pregnant and get the gently caress back in the kitchen.”
