The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people to see if they could become something more.
  • I love how every artistic rendering of Trump done by conservatives makes sure to shave off a nice subtle 50 pounds at least

  • How do you even manage to design problems like this?
  • By living in California and being completely unaware that the weather can be something other than perfect. Someone else already said it, but I fucking hate California and Californians.

  • no one under 30 goes on stormfront.
  • I don't think that's true. Cringe comedy certainly punches down sometimes, as many types of comedy do, but to say it is "inherently down punching" seems pretty rediculous to me. There are plenty of examples of cringe comedy where the majority or all of the cringing is being done at bad people, or people who hold power over others. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a good example. That show definitely has problematic aspects, but pretty much 100% of the cringe moments in it are because of awful stuff the awful main cast are doing. Even going back to the Office, which I don't really like either, I'd argue the majority of cringing that happens is at the expense of Michael, the racist, sexist boss. Obviously both these shows have problematic aspects like most comedy does, and I'm not defending them, but I do think it's kind of rediculous to say that cringe comedy is inherently reactionary, or that it inherently punches down on marginalized people. I won't deny many examples of it do, but that's not because of some inherent flaw in the medium, it's because we live in a deeply racist, sexist, ableist, homophobic and transphobic society, and our popular media reflects that.

  • no one under 30 goes on stormfront.
  • I understand not liking cringe comedy but can you explain why you think it's morally bad?

  • no one under 30 goes on stormfront.
  • To be fair it is cringe comedy so the fact that it is cringe is undeniable but also on purpose.

  • Ever gracious in defeat
  • Listen, I may be racist, but at least I respect the norms and procedures!

  • I fucking hate group projects
  • 100% agree. The rationalization for school group projects is always "well you'll have to work together in the workplace" except group projects are not at all the same. In a workplace you are all in the same place at the same time and it's time dedicated for you all to work on it. Very rarely in a workplace are you required to coordinate all your different coworker's free time to work on a project together outside work. Group projects are good when you get class time to work on it, like you said. But unfortunately that's pretty much never because of how condensed academic schedules are.

  • "Halloween feels different now". IT'S BECAUSE OF CAPITALISM. CAPITALISM. IT'S WEARING EVERYONE DOWN AND CRUSHING THEIR SPIRITS
  • To be fair it also feels different because its 24 degrees out and people are wearing shorts and tank tops and I'm sweating in my Halloween costume

  • Getting matches on dating app Hinge but 98% of people don’t respond to messages
  • Going to events, hobby meetups, clubs, etc, is always going to be 100x more effective at meeting people than the accursed apps. They have a financial incentive for you to be unsatisfied and keep swiping. Obviously don't be that person who shows up just to try to pick up people, but seriously you gotta go outside. I understand if maybe you live in a remote area and there aren't many things going on, but in almost every situation going outside is more effective and less demoralizing than the apps. Especially if you can find something that's regular and you can attend weekly or monthly or whatever. That's how connections form naturally, by being in the same place as other people and slowly getting to know them. This thing where we look at some photos of people and then immediately try to talk intimately with them is extremely unnatural, it's no wonder it doesn't work very well.

  • Redditors questioning basic political theory
  • Curated tumblr is undoubtedly one of the most insufferable subreddits on that accursed site. Practically every post on there is just "actually sweaty it's really privileged to be a radical leftist and not a feckless liberal. Against the status quo? Wow your privilege is showing" smuglord

  • In rules-based order news
  • If the stripes and crosses are saying something, it's pretty safe to discard their opinions

  • That time of year again
  • Leaves belong on your lawn. Stop being a bourgeois loser who cares how your grass looks.

  • My Dad is a Social Democrat, Should I Cut Off All Family Ties?
  • Hey there fellow Canadian. I say yes. I had to cut off ties with my dad for supporting the Communist party of Canada instead of the Communist party of Canada (Marxist Leninist). Can't deal with a revisionist, it's too toxic.

  • How the Fossil Fuel Industry Convinced Americans to Love Gas Stoves
  • I don't buy it that gas ranges are universally better than electric. I think they're just different and good at different things. Sure you can change the temperature faster on gas, but is that the end all and be all of cooking? Have you ever tried to cook something on a gas stove that requires low heat for a long time, like rice or a slow cooked sauce? It's extremely fucking annoying, gas can't maintain consistent low temperature like electric can. Call it a skill issue if you want but my mother who has been cooking her whole life still struggles with making rice on the gas stove since moving to her new house 4 years ago.

  • Now we got hurricanes going Ultra Instinct because we've turned the Gulf into a jacuzzi.
  • Looking at the comments (a mistake I know) and wow climate change denial is really going in an interesting direction. It's gotten so bad that like half of them no longer deny the climate is changing, instead they claim it's part of some globalist geoengineering conspiracy lmao

  • Hinkle casually being a nazi
  • Pontius Pilate, famous for being Jewish

  • What's the official Hexbear Party line on the Jaffa Cake "Cake or Biscuit" controversy?
  • This is a cookie. Why would you call this a cake. It's not like you're gonna cut slices out of it.

  • ["There are 35 days until election day" news] Harris says she backs legalizing marijuana.
  • The thought that there are people out there who would still believe this is maddening
