Interesting. This might be the article you’re referring to? Going to give it a read

I think this might read as a little tone deaf to the economic reality of many people.
Also mechanics are often in semi-industrial areas where the most community you’ll get is a homeless encampment and maybe a taco truck
I think I was thrown off because that’s been in the news cycle for a while now. So I assumed they were introducing something new
I’m not clear what the dirty little secret is supposed to be. That it doesn’t poll well? That it’s written by Trump associates (and therefore ofc Trump knows about it)?
This is a particularly suited post for this magazine and the image just completes it
I really appreciate this take. In the pursuit of better language, some groups also hamper their own ability to communicate - not a slam against the attempt, but between that and the other side diluting the group’s words, it’s an uphill fight
That bit was regarding why they wouldn’t do the same thing regarding one’s father
Personally I think it’d be a power move to say I fucked you’re dad
The whatever reason bring that they’d have played themselves because homophobia.
I imagine the potency of yo mama jokes that focus on banging her, as opposed to accentuating how ugly she is, comes from the discomfort of sexualizing someone that you want to not have sexualized given your intimacy with her. Reframing your mom as a sexual being rewrites the experience of affection with her, for example.
The ugliness piece devalues someone precious to you.
I also thinks it’s just a rules of the game that people decide on and then forget. Participating in a game about who will gets upset, everyone implicitly agrees that this is something they can fall prey to having a reaction about. Sort of social game theory
The correct answer, as they say, is always in the comments
This is our innate state, IMO. We are social, creative people. The impulse to help and participate comes first and then is warped by our societal structure where everything gets monetized. I follow the Skyrim mod scene just for that hit of seeing this generosity at play
Dang. Take the hint, Terminator
Wow, yeah that headline gave me that nausea of despair feeling
I had to look up what gyro aiming is. FYI for others: https://www.33rdsquare.com/what-does-gyro-aiming-mean-an-in-depth-look-at-the-next-evolution-in-gaming-controls/
Man I hope “unlived” only gets used ironically, if not also with a decent dose of snark
Yup. Made some points I hadn’t considered yet, like a few companies locking in a monopoly
Oh, nothing about our culture would permit someone to do that. I don’t expect him to. It’s just a nice fantasy
How can they vote for him if he’s not on the ballot?
Not only switch candidates, but have Biden have the humility to back that person. Do it in the name of Democracy, you know: this election is too important and I realize we need a stronger candidate than I can be. That would sell well, and that’s what’s needed for better or worse: a good narrative
