Flip it round to see how unusual it is, and how pervasive a bias:

Trump's target audience who are not outraged at Trump's renovation of Lincoln bathroom really need to scroll some facebook of their educated liberal big city relatives and friends to see what kind of aesthetic resonates with them.

this is what it offered--not quite so presumptuous imo but a very silly use of eg when one is offering "any time"

"If you’re open to it, I can make any time work next week (e.g., Tue 11/4 morning or Thu 11/6 late afternoon ET), or I’m happy to email a few questions insteadβ€”whatever’s easiest."

Not so much vague in the sense of "unclear" but definitely vague in the sense of "general"--eg "due process" etc

Yeah just eggs and oil, not some mystery. I think distaste is more from association with what some people pair it with.

I do think the story is as much about the technology as it is legalizing the gambling per se.

I think it's just that we had settled into a sort of equilibrium, if we were starting from scratch who knows where the lines would end up. But going from having to travel to LasVegas to getting algorithmic push notifications on your phone prompting you to bet was a big change

we have this through-the-looking-glass situation where it's like the offensive shit means that i have to vote for them or else im being narrow-minded

Well it is a little tough in this context to disentangle "let back into the tent" and "vote for." Like if I say I'm not inclined to vote for the guy who said a bunch of racist shit years ago, is that not letting into the tent? It feels like it gets characterized that way and then

As a corollary if *i* discuss any of the above we can only conclude that it was so fascinating that i could not help but reluctantly share

things i, a 40-something man, do not care to hear about from my peers.
1) their fantasy sports teams
2) their gambling
3) their group chats
4) their (literal) dreams, ie the ones that happen while they sleep

I see the appeal of *being* in one for sure. I see less appeal in *talking* about being in one and much less appeal in *hearing* people talking about theirs.
