Splintered media environment means we don’t actually have a shared set of facts to discuss with people from the other side anymore. We can’t have normal conversations when we can’t agree on the basic facts on the ground.

Hunting down Catholic priests

Turns out they were basically bounty hunters for Catholic priests during Elizabeth I’s reign.

“Really? How about dying for it?”

Pretty much any Bob Marley live recording, the songs just feel like they were meant to be heard that way.

You can hear the crowd singing along, and Bob losing himself in the music.His songs feel like prayers for peace and that really comes through in the live versions.

To properly follow the rules and be specific, I’d say No Woman No Cry - Live at the Lyceum

Based on that last bit of your post, it sounds like you may actually not be that familiar with the incel community.

Short answer is that it goes much further than it seems at first glance. So,if you’re feeling unhappy about your prospects, I’d recommend looking into other communities for the sake of your mental health.

Honestly, just focusing on a hobby of some kind and making connections with the community surrounding it would be infinitely better for you.

Meat clearly isn’t gonna be a unique answer here, but it does have a weird effect on what it feels like to travel to different countries when your diet doesn’t revolve around animals.

Where other people see tons of street food and opportunities for interacting with a culture, some places mostly just feel empty.

Not meaning it in a judging way, but there are tons of places where I don’t really feel welcome.

Also how is your butthole doing, bro?

In all of Vietnam there are currently two active metro lines, one of which is only partially complete.

I hope it improves. Many lines are under construction but all of the projects have been plagued by delays for years.

But why would you include this as an example here?

To be fair, those kind of mean the same thing

Not op, but I’d guess it’s probably the part where you start murdering people and removing their basic freedoms.

In Vietnam, if it’s a café they’d ask you hot or cold.

Normal restaurants you’d get iced tea, usually very strong unsweetened Lipton yellow label.

Yes, this is about your feelings. If you don’t feel happy and warm inside when you cast your vote, how can you possibly be asked to think about the 13 year old rape victim who now has to travel hundreds of miles to save her own life. While she has that option. People literally banning books but let’s make sure random internet commenter feels nice inside and doesn’t have to make any really hard big boy choices.

The US is in this mess because fascists don’t waste their time listening to clowns like you. Congratulations on all of the privilege you are apparently swimming in, that you don’t have to worry about them coming for you. Must be nice.

So is that a maybe for the balls orrrr

Void deer sounds tempting, I wonder what the 401k will be like?

This one for me. Having a service job doesn’t make you a slave ffs. You can really read a person’s character when you see how they treat those that are less than. I’d also add animals to that list but that’s just my personal axe to grind.

Sure. I think I meant this comment more as trying to understand what kind of information and media a person like that might be consuming to arrive at “climate change is fake and also vote for democrats.” It’s just an interesting cross-section.

My guess would be someone who doesn’t really consume much media at all, or maybe part of the broad subset of “anti-science left” that also end up in some anti-vax conversations

I mean, that’s why I said I’d be interested to talk with someone who espouses that view. Party identification has maybe never been stronger, and the positions of the two parties have never been farther apart on many issues.

The most interesting people are the ones who claim Democratic party identity and yet accept the Republican position on this. I’d be interested to talk to one of these people to learn about their worldviews. Single issue voters for something like abortion? Just don’t like the color red? I need answers.
