I remember reading at the start of Covid in the US, when the government was saying “masks are dumb”, but local churches were going “masks save lives”, the churches were surprised at how much pushback they were getting.
Turns out raising someone from a young age to believe without questioning, and look up to one person as their only source of truth, and ignore compelling scientific evidence, is pretty hard conditioning to break.

How’s that any different from today?
(Just kidding, gallows humor)
Seconded - Fuuuuuuck that jelly-bean-eating bastard.
I do like jelly beans though.
I like it!
My thoughts as well… “here’s what to know: the Supreme Court is corrupt as hell”
Strong stuff, and I’m here for it! I hope he suffers the indignity of itching, without the relief of scratching!
Unironically, I totally agree. Commentator is dumb and redundant, commenter is the superior alternative.
Just because you do it for a living, doesn’t mean that it’s a different title; a carpenter doesn’t become a carpentator because it’s a paying job. A pilot doesn’t become a pilotator when they get paid for it.
I feel like the current establishment wouldn’t allow an FDR-style candidate to succeed, they’re making too much money from protecting the status quo.
But I’ll still grudgingly support them if Trump is the other option. I’ll vote progressive in my local elections, but as long as we still have a first-to-the-post election process, it’s always the lesser of two evils.
Isn’t it the case that whoever wins this one, they’ll be the oldest president in US history? Gross.
I think it’s like “vee-shee-swah”?

Saddling up to the bar of a cyberpunk ramen shop to ask real questions with my real voice
I want this guy to argue with me at the ramen shop:

“Four…no, two,two; four! (sigh)… with noodles.”
Lemming > Chihuahua > Honey Badger
Just angrier and angrier all the way through
Hmm… maybe Zebra > Okapi > Giraffe?
This one’s my favorite!
I wish they’d required him to endure cross-examination… I’d love to see a competent lawyer dismantle his entire baloney-sandwich machine in front of his followers.
It sure fucking FEELS like we’ve been dealing with this for 5 years LOL
I personally think this is the biggest reason. MY company just went “well, guess we’ll sell 2/3 of our campus and let someone else use that space, we sure don’t need it any more”… but I think a lot of businesses are stuck with their lease and struggling to make the square footage pay for itself.
I can’t look for a source right now (I’m on the clock at my WFH job) but I thought there was evidence that hedge funds and investment houses had invested in commercial real estate, like they invested in residential real estate in the 2000’s (which ultimately resulted in the “sub-prime mortgage crisis”)… and that THEY are really the ones pushing for RTO, trying to avoid another crash when their investments tank because nobody wants to own commercial real estate any more and starts looking to sell it off.
But take that with a big grain of salt, because I can’t cite a source ATM!
Watching a playthrough of the God of War franchise: “who’s this Kratos guy, he seems like a bad-ass…”
Returns home, founds a new religion: “No, see, Ares IS cool and all, but I’m telling you, someone’s going to come along and beat his ass…”
I’m doing MY part!
I don’t go to McDonalds much any more, but I’d get fries and a vanilla shake to do that with, as a treat!
