Literally just had this conversation with a friend yesterday. Sorry, but gaming is always going to be a juvenile, unmasculine, lame hobby/activity. All it says to me is that you have no problem wasting your life. Are you a teenager or a man?

Repeating kids jokes after no one laughs is top tier comedy 😭

I have found that you can really get away with quite a lot just by adopting a particular affect when talking to liberals about controversial topics. The most important thing, the thing everything hinges on, is that they have to be convinced that you’re basically just like them, a good person just like them, not somebody on the other side. You have to hedge a lot, sprinkle your language full of, “to be sure” and other qualifiers. You don’t want to be too direct. If something is too controversial, then you want to signal convincingly that it brings you no pleasure to report it, that you’re not saying you like it. And you have to try very hard to be reassuring, to make them believe that above all you are concerned with the welfare of the people most harmed by these revelations. You have to go into it believing that it’s your job to manage their emotions throughout the entire conversation and remain attuned to how various pieces of information are hitting their ears, adjusting your approach based on how well they’re handling it. You have to talk to them, in other words, sort of as you would to a small child whose pet has just died. I’m not saying you should do this or that you’d even want to, but I am telling you that it works.

Sorry we have a high trust society unlike the rest of you loosers

Minnesota used to be populated with kindly Norwegian Lutherans. Sure they were a bit naive and lefty, but they were mostly harmless. That’s all gone now. There’s no more Lutherans. Minnesota is now cynical tankie Communists pining for Stalin and Somalian pirates. That’s it. That’s all there is.
