I don’t think looking Italian is the bad part about being one

Tomatoes from the store are refrigerated, which turns them pretty bland, and they probably don’t do that to canned tomatoes. I can’t say I’ve ever eaten them straight from the can to compare, though.

Wait so “higher quality” stuff goes to gossip and lower quality to counterpropaganda? Aren’t these names backwards? The rules of counterpropaganda also do not seem to agree with this, unless you have a ridiculously wide definition of “propaganda”.

I think people generally overestimate the effectiveness of the “weird” thing for actually getting votes. It probably goes over well with the loyalist democrats, but those are already going to vote for you anyway. I don’t think it does anything for disaffected liberals, or dissuades lukewarm Trump voters, Trump is just too likable of a weirdo for it and now seems even more anti-establishment.

I just started, and so much of the dialogue reminds me of Overwatch pre-game chatter, because it is so empty in both style and content that paying attention to it actively feels like wasting your time.

I will also not do anything differently, unless I am forced to. You are welcome.

This election has shown us that the American public just isn’t ready for a vice president whose name rhymes with “balls”

The idea of sex is an abstraction, much like anything else we can think about. It is abstracted from the rest of reality so that we can think about it. The different abstractions of it are done for some purposes, some of which are better than others. Abstraction is a social process, and we should absolutely be critical of it.

The difference between social constructivism of nature and the Marxist dialectical view is that we think that the material reality has an objective (if ever-changing) structure that is not solely determined by human thought, and for example sex exists as far as the idea is useful for understanding this reality.

Who can say, but I do find the liberal “proof” of Trump’s dictatorial intent flimsy, and am also skeptical of his ability to do a self-coup if he did want to end democracy.

The End of Democracy narrative they have been building absolutely justifies it, if nothing happens it will be because they never really believed all those things

Harris and Trump both coincidentally die in the same car crash on election day, and the USA balkanizes as a result

Clothesline -> bounce off the ropes -> elbow drop

In the EU they have to sell it as “pink cocaine-like drug”

Hexbear is full of liberal tankies that want to destroy the US constitution (I’m trying to make a site tagline here)

Didn’t you hear he died in 2022 (throat slashed)? He even had an in memoriam during that year’s Superbowl, between the Mcdonald’s and Burger King ads.

It’s really telling that it’s always Slaanesh these people choose to over-dedicate themselves to, rancid vibes

It’s shocking how often short-form pop science content is just straight up wrong, and not even in the Veritasium way where the videos are misleading in a way that makes them more sensational, just wrong for no reason about high school level physics. Surely it can’t lead to that much increased engagement, they must be made specifically to torment me.

I bet there are like five people in the world that got so excited about this being announced that they paced around their home for half an hour

The Diablo expansion ad with a slowed-down version of Behind Blue Eyes might be the worst one of those yet, at this rate we will reach the top of the S-curve of bad game trailer innovation in 2030 (a slow version of Californication for GTA 7)
