Yeah I'd like to give it some leeway in somuch that it's an older book and the author wanted ways to make earth seem more and more alien to the protag', but it's uh... It's somethin

Still a great book to be clear! But there were parts that felt like they were tailor made for modern RW ideology

Read Forever War recently and it was fun, but it's hard to not view it as thru a strange right wing fantasy re: the UN mandating "homo life" etc

I think it's still an effective way to portray how the world keeps moving farther and farther from "normal" for the protag', but my eyebrows were raised

Good to hear 🙏

Calm tf down don't talk to me like that

It's like they're afraid that if they hold "this technology has terrible implications and often makes mistakes" and "but it's also useful in a number of ways" in their heads at the same time they'll get their Good Person card taken away

To be clear, I did say "residents of Hampstead", which is an affluent neighborhood in general compared to the surrounding boroughs - something I consider to be a more relevant determining factor in this case rather than just heritage.

My experience does come from interacting with affluent members of the community, who often lean conservative, and from simply driving thru Hampstead and observing the lawn signs I see.

I do not have a ton of faith in the information ecosystems that a lot of the residents find themselves in.

I apologize for the broad generalization. To be clear, my wife is Jewish, my extended family is Jewish, all of whom are not lockstep Zionist etc and I know that many Jewish people - even in Israel - are standing up for what is right here

Have you petitioned the residents of Hampstead over how they feel about his comments?

My experience with Hampstead leads me to believe they are happy about it

🥲

Wait wait did he get his ass beat tho?

I had a buddy that refused to ever stay overnight whenever we had ragers or cottage parties

it turns out he was just ahead of the curve

Some day my wife will appreciate the small bits of context I interject with during movies & TV

It hasn't happened yet but Imma keep at it

1% difference seems within the margin of error, even

Reconciling what I know Tim looks like now with this image but then I get kinda stuck on how much it would hurt to have a Master Lock bounce just once on your body sternum if you like, jumped or something

Sure but there're plenty of games that portray situations that people would never actually want to be in

Very few people want to be in the trenches of WW1 or chased thru the hallways of a space station by a Xenomorph, but there are markets for those

It's calming to clean, organize things and then benefit from the rewards

Much like violent videogames don't expose you to actual risks or pain while still being thrilling, farming games give you the satisfaction of gardening without any of the downsides like backbreaking labor, poverty etc

Okay so I'm not crazy

I've even heard talk that his policy on Gaza was lacking

Hmmm, I'm not 100% sure what you mean - is there another set of advice that's "left leaning"?

I'm trying to think of what I'd tell a younger guy... aside from the above I'd definitely tell them stuff like always be clean, have fresh clothes, compliment the girls on their stylistic choices etc...

Yeah the usual advice would be "be open, be caring, be yourself and it will happen" which is true but not really the solution to what *young* men are facing: the fact that their peers can seemingly go out and find sexual partners immediately, in the short term, and they can't

Unfortunately I think those conversations are often happening within already-leftist spaces, and less visible on the "surface" of public discourse & mass media

As proven by the prevalence of the term "This guy fucks"
