  1. What is abundantly clear is that the majority of people who say this, even the ones who believe it, are wrong. It is pure cognitive dissonance.
  2. I mean yeah, with the caveat that I’m constantly doing the “am I taking crazy pills?” sanity check that I myself am not just doing the same thing on the other side (which is of course what the rebuttal would be) I also agree that it is evil and stupidity. I don’t think that they are all necessarily evil or stupid at their core, but the only way I can understand them is as people who have been broken and corrupted by the steady diet of hate that they have spent decades consuming. And I can at least try and empathize if I understand that as what they have become rather than what they were born to be.
  3. I am going to try and be less bothered. Despite things I have said previously, I don’t actually think most Americans are bad people. I am incredibly discouraged by how seemingly decent and even well educated people can fall for such incredible foolishness. I can’t see a way towards understanding stuff like trans or bathroom hysteria or the notion of putting RFK in charge of the FDA or letting defense contractors run government efficiency or any of the nakedly corrupt and hateful positions as anything but that - foolishness in the cases it isn’t actually evil. But I don’t actually think most Americans are evil. If you religious folks look at conservative politics and see a reflection of Galatians 5:22, I’ll try and empathize with that being the world that you see and understand that that’s where you’re coming from. I don’t get it, but whatever - it is unequivocally what won this round so I hope you all are correct.
  4. Oh badass, it has split shaft tuners based on this picture from Reddit. Not my favorite functionally (aesthetically cool, functionally it seems like just slightly more of a pain in the ass) but for a guitar I will hand to my child, no pointy string ends = perfect. This is why she mostly plays around with my 72 thinline if she wants to touch daddy’s guitars
  5. Just sent an email to my Sweetwater rep asking about the kitty strats
  6. doooo iiiiit
  7. Oh man I actually searched, it’s not up but it looks like this is real?
  8. 🦄
  9. past the service economy job shifts, I assume we've talked about growing up on hardcore porn, etc - most of their male role models have been poisoned and are raising them on the same kinds of grievances that have caused our moral failure as a nation
  10. this is for goddamn sure - I don't understand the kids well enough but it would be interesting to really understand comparatively the difference between the way that the boomers can't distinguish things they see on the internet from real and the way that genz simply exists in the internet
  11. yeah I really don't think it's the female candidate thing. it's that half of the country has been so thoroughly poisoned. the post that your takeaway shouldn't be that half of the country is racist/mysoginist/sexist/fascist/whatever is also kinda true - it's not so much that they are that, it's that they now exist in a parallel reality with completely different facts about what even is, and what it means to be a decent person well certainly not your wife
  12. it will not, in fact, be the end of that. the end of that will come much later and you'll be too dim to understand why it is happening to you at the end of your miserable existence
  13. It just won you moron
  14. I don’t hate the idiot, I hate how stupid you are.
  15. I just want normal and sane and frequently kind. Ideals and aspirations we can feel good about even if we often fail to live up to them. But ok. The dream that this would be a decade long chapter in American history is gone - this is who we are now.
  16. I can take the fact that we are a stupid country, that’s not a big deal. It’s that we are evil that is so terrible. I’m just exhausted thinking about having to live in this and raise kids in the is environment where the worst people exploiting the worst characteristics of human nature are winning and in control, shouting Jesus as they do the devil’s work.
  17. Why are Christians so eager to embrace evil in Jesus’ name?
  18. as a resident of NC this is one of the races I'm worried about. Michelle Morrow was a Jan 6, homeschools her kids, has called for the execution of Obama, wants to dismantle public schools, etc -
  19. feeling better about nc
  20. not feeling great about nc
  21. send a glass over to that handsome devil in the blue muumuu
  22. Florida remains a shithole state
  23. Eric Hovdeez nuts
