I forget the exact stats on it, but gambling addiction is especially destructive to people’s lives even compared with other major addictions. Also, on a petty treat-fiend note, it has made sports so much fucking shittier.

Still regret voting for her in 2016. I shamed myself by doing it, and the fucking loser still had the nerve to lose.

One of the wildest things to me is that they can’t even be bothered to lie for our support. Like, they could literally just lie and get a lot of leftists on their side, but they’d rather tell us to suck their unwashed balls than even pay the slightest lip-service, and then get pissed at us later if they lose.
I drove myself mad last night reading some jackass thread of liberals still invoking 2016, in this particularly gross case, to blame the left (and anyone else who they thought didn’t support Clinton) for the state-murder of Marcellus Williams.
Like jesus fucking Christ, not only is that vile and nonsensical, but it’s stupid in any practical sense not to do something to win the votes of these people who you (wrongly) think cost you everything.
Act like you’re trying to build and maintain a relationship where the other person has the freedom to leave and isn’t a goddamn slave to you!
Pretend that you believe in democracy instead of acting entitled to people’s support when you offer them nothing but blame when an election goes badly for you!
My personal favorite from the Eugene Dabs collection.
Liberals: “It’s not a real problem, you’re just perceiving it incorrectly.” X 4000
If we can economically ruin Europe over Ukraine, maybe we can get a bunch of European immigrants coming to the US for work?
That’s John Mearsheimer’s big case for immigration. He talks about how developed countries get that “inverted pyramid” demographic spread (lots of old people, low birthrate, fewer young people) and how immigration is actually America’s edge over China and Russia in that regard.
America pisses it away, again.
Dumbass country reaps what it sows, continues to be ginormous dumbass country.
I think there’s something to say about people getting lost a bit in the day-to-day stories and details. Whatever the most recent story is, is not always the most important thing in the course of the overall conflict.
It’s happened several times with Ukraine as well. People’s brains are too wired for immediacy when it comes to things that take a (miserably) long time to shake out.
Looking back, 2016 basically went the way it should have, in a pop-karma / moral sense.
World’s easiest re-paint to just turn each person in the left panels into a chud.
lol imagine his mental state rn
Maybe this is shitty of me, but some chuds just seem really fucking stupid. The amount of people asserting we “have no frame of reference for what it is like to be Haitian,” and therefore the hypothetical is invalid, is making me want to shit blood.
For my sanity: the point of reference for being Haitian is the lives and existence of Haitian people, which can be observed and engaged with even by non-Haitians.
Also just as trolling material for “race-realist” IQ-dorks: “Bright minds and dark attitudes: lower cognitive ability predicts greater prejudice through right-wing ideology and low intergroup contact” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22222219/

That link also has stuff about other previous studies.
Streamers should not be allowed the same rights as full humans.
AOC is a piece of shit and I hope she gets giardia.
The west is desperate to paint it that way, but what justification is there for calling this colonialism? “Debt-trap diplomacy” was the line before, but that didn’t hold up to scrutiny, especially when China outright forgave several African countries’ debts.
So what’s the line now?
Wish they’d bring these back. Rampage was a fun series.
Democrats: “We’re defending democracy!”
Democrats when democracy doesn’t favor them 100% of the time and people don’t literally have to vote for them:
"If you don’t vote for the democrats in all elections always and forever, then I fantasize about shaming you and watching you suffer like I’m a creepy, vindictive little wiener. Get these third-party candidates off the ballot, they’re stealing votes from us.
You have to be morally and politically pragmatic and vote for the democrats! No, they do not themselves have to be morally or politically pragmatic and stop arming a genocide to appeal to loony left voters. That would be compromising our values, which is only okay if we’re shit-canning immigrants or dropping death-penalty abolition to appeal to the unicorn ‘moderate republican.’
Not voting for the democrats is to endanger all of the people we haven’t already discarded to maximize centrist appeal. Try not to be so selfish for once, GAWD."
