misanthropocene

and the problem for many is it spills into politics, they care less about the toxic culture it has always created, than it leading to Republican victory (which mind you is pure disaster. But I don't think most of the R base actually is incels, it's why mocking them as incels doesn't really land)

needs to touch grass but is *literally* afraid of grass

always has been

I don't know when it became the go to even for that. Why can't you just blame capitalism (it is a shit system, and try to change or overthrow it as you are inclined, or not), or your family of origin (there may be truth to it, not like abuse isn't real), or brain wiring ....

people note it because they think it drives voting/political behavior. It's why there is less focus on the troubles/negative messaging young women may face. Their voting isn't a problem. It wasn't thought to matter much for voting before, as it was culturally toxic but not so overtly political

even for lowly little worker bees to make some sense of things. "oh of course getting a job is a long haul, unemployment is 10%, and my field in decline, and my state doing worse than most"

it's just cult recruitment. Scientology will probably also offer answers to all your problems. Depressed, anxious, sick, can't get work, struggling with bills, can't get laid, have you taken a free personality test?

risky move if he could just get it through other means

we can't even reform prop 13. All of this stuff is HEAVILY swayed by campaign ads. Not a sure thing I'd say.

downside: it depends on CA voters, which one can never depend on to do the right thing with any reliability. Might as well flip a quarter on what proposals they are going to vote for, shit or cake today. Hopefully there is some grassroots push for this, which also can't be relied on
Bold move tho

are they real young? do we need to revoke their nerd credentials?

I listened to it before, I still didn't fully understand it all. Was this the episode with the discussion if non-renewables are still needed in the power mix? I didn't come out with a clear answer either way.

the problem is everything has become political. But did you know the political and economic system affects all aspects of life. Yea this is lefty bait, we know.
But we still need aspects of culture that don't seem to exist largely for political recruitment, like a cult feeding off the depressed.

at that point you should just focus on getting laid and leave politics to people who want to discuss actual political stuff.

so about being in denial about the reality of power/control. Could this dude be a more textbook example? Not just a river in Egypt etc. etc.

Republicans WILL NOT vote for neutral permitting reform that disproportionately benefits clean energy. THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN. He can pretend that Republicans are pure deregulation bots committed only to deregulation. In reality they take fossil fuel money and kill even market moves to clean energy

I feel this way about a lot of things but at least solar can be installed at industrial scale to power the energy grid everyone is drawing on, unlike say heat pumps where we really need incentives or mandates for landlords but never talk about rentals at all.

AWS qualifies

you have not shown up at work for a job we have not yet offered you.
Therefore your application is going in the trash, we're not even going to consider you with that attitude.

it is a punishment, and social shunning might be a power we can still exercise. So I like it, I hope it happens everywhere.

it's maybe I feel like I *should* know this after all my decades on earth, but I actually don't know shit about it, but I really *should* know it by now, damn it, why did they have to ask me that question anyway?

yea I get generational warfare gets clicks, but it's not the big trend here.

plus the citizen app.

celebrity just gets more money being a celebrity, but there are far more office jobs than celebrity roles in the world so ...

I would have pegged her as: half Asian, half white

the NFL could also be the corporation that profits primarily off of human suffering.

defended? Are you illiterate?

So the alcohol is cheap?

she got good personality genes? So jealous.

this is a thread about natural disasters that might threaten people's lives right now. But life is cheap for you bots.
