There's always some emergency or another that some tinpot tyrant can invoke to try to wipe his ass with the Bill of Rights. And there's always a cadre of sycophants willing to watch him do it and clap and cheer and tell him, "Oh, Great One, your wiping technique is so good. Not a dingleberry in sight!"

Trump's voter base is unshakeable. 40%. Discussing their view on the Iran war is either stupid or deliberately dishonest. The question is what the MAHA people, the independents, the podcast listeners, and the young men are saying.

@uubzu So, it was nowhere near as ubiquitous or east to access way back when, but like every single man who has been alive since the invention of the photograph has a "finding dad's porn" story, or some equivalent.

Apparently childhood exposure to hard-core pornography is so universal now that we have a generation of adults who literally cannot believe it was ever any other way So in addition to being fucked in the head by their own exposure, they have no incentive to protect their own children from it because they take it for granted as some immutable fact of the universe These are the parents of your kids’ friends

@Clara_Zilla I promise you, context will not help you understand, but also, that doesn't matter.

@default_friend I also disagree with separating out the Juggalos. The Juggalo is 100% a subtype of this type of person. They're not *all* Juggalos, but some of them for sure were/are. It's an "all submarines are sandwiches, but not all sandwiches are submarines" thing.

@sevensixfive Yeah, my feelings when reading it were like, "This sounds like all my small town friends from when I was a teen in the late 90s/early 2000s. I guess you all weren't trashy enough to know us."

When I was 16 in (checks notes) 1994 I used to drive an hour with my best friend who was obsessed with The Cure so we could sit at a diner with her bisexual rent boy raver bf and drink coffee. We invented your kind back there.

@GRIFTLESS @DougFunniePR @MatthewFerrari It's the lamest, laziest insult of all time. The proper response to it is to laugh and say, "Is it fun to have two Christmases? Who gives better presents: your real dad or the guy fucking your mom now?"

Oh yeah. Your response is exactly what I was thinking. I grew up in a little Rust Belt town smack in between Buffalo and Niagara Falls, but I had the same experience. This graph right here is exactly my teen years. The "sketchy stepdad" was a mom who looked, I shit you not, like Gender Swapped Ozzy Osbourne (we told her this to her face and she thought it was very funny), and her house wasn't empty - it was like a hoarder house, if the hoarder shopped exclusively at Spencer's and Hot Topic. But everything else is exactly the same. "Thrilling and wrong" is exactly how I would describe it.

People don't want to hear this... but this is actually Millennials. Andy Weir is a Gen X, but the sincerity of his books speak to the generation under him. Millennials grew up in a time where they bullied each other for being sincere as the nihilism of Gen X culture was the dominant force. As soon as we became adults, we split into two groups: 1) continued on the path of cynicism into drugs, debauchery, and pushing back against personal responsibility, or 2) were free of the conformity of our youth and could finally do whatever we wanted and ernestly as we wished. This is why authors like Andy Weir have an audience, filmmakers like Denis Villeneuve as well. People are craving sincerity after a lifetime of being told not to care.

If you see Project Hail Mary this weekend, I hope you'll remember how I told you over 3 years ago that stuff like this was going to explode in pop culture. -From ironic cynicism to post-ironic sincerity. -Embracing the "cringe" & the celebration of the earnest "try-hard." -From deconstructing the past, to a nostalgia for some positive "vibe" we lost in the deconstruction. -The rejection of Fight Club-era nihilism. -The ability to stare at the apocalypse in front of you and be hopeful instead of a "doomer."

@Builtahouse What if I was a juggalo in the early 2000s? I think that gives me some qualifications.

don't comment on the dinergoth article unless you worked in a grocery store in the bible belt where your trans coworker introduced you to jujutusu kaisen, the opener lived in a sephiroth hoodie, & the 20 year-old manager said she worshipped Aphrodite, before leaving abruptly ✌️

I said: "I don't like games that are dependent on stats and builds and shit." And that is the extent of what I said about it. You jumped in and assumed, like an illiterate retard, that I must be talking about some other type of action RPG for some reason? I really don't know what's going on in your mind. But you didn't have to talk to me at all, you know?

1. Big whiff on the assumption about my generation. 2. Most Gen X cultural touchstone are brutally, painfully sincere. They're just not positive. So they are painted as insincere by people (like you) who very obviously sincerity is analogous to positivity, no matter how much you all say you don't.

@PedanticKilljoy Where did I say sincerity equates to positivity? Gen X has always been cynical. This is a known. You may not like it, but your generation is known for it.

@lisavsworld You are, and so does everyone who does the "Gen X = cynical, millennials = sincere" thing.

@PedanticKilljoy I am unsure if you are saying that I am equating those two.

@jarvis_best Up until like 3 weeks ago, this was the stereotype of the poly couple. This thing where the guy is a player is a new wrinkle, driven by people's visceral dislike of Lindy West, specifically.

I’ve only ever known one poly couple ever in real life. Here’s what happened. I’m not making this up. 1. Guy goes to his much hotter wife and says he wants an open marriage. She reluctantly agrees. 2. She immediately goes out and bangs some guy. 3. He gets all pissed off. 4. He invites me out for coffee and wants me to commiserate with him. Like he’s OUTRAGED. He wants me to agree with him that she was way out of line for … something, I dunno what. I’m like man i feel for you but … to be fair … 5. He divorces her.
