Did they add this specifically to fuck with him? Is this retaliation for something that happened behind the scenes?

This has to be parody. “Sparrow hater” sounds like an @ that someone on the left would come up with.

I’m likely preaching to the choir but he’s pretty clearly setting them up to take the blame when prices go up rather than seriously expecting the executives to just be ok with depressing their margins with no benefit.

I think the reason these people praise raw milk specifically is because it’s enough to make you sick enough to require serious hospitalization but often not sick enough to die and be unable to pay back your medical debt, so from a healthcare expense perspective, it’s a pretty potent revenue driving tool. Plus you’ll probably get repeat customers.

When you can’t find a way to bring up your hyperfixation organically in conversation so you just start infodumping

Out of curiosity, I went to the main Trump forum to see how they’re talking about this. Here’s what they’re saying:

She doesn’t differentiate it enough from the gotye song. I like when people do samples well, but it sounds like she’s doing Kareoke but swapping out the lyrics. I don’t necessity hate it but I don’t love it.

Who’s joining me in Corsicado?

Why would a science teacher say that

I could have sworn Signs was a legitimately good movie when I saw it as a kid but I rewatched it recently and it’s absurdly bad. The acting is terrible and the cinematography is nonsensical. Roger Ebert gave it a full four stars. I’m convinced there’s a universe I grew up in where it was good and it’s the same one Ebert is from.

No. I think a lot more people on the right were excited about him when he was an unknown quantity. Now that they’ve seen him in office and none of what they wanted happened (no wall, no Hillary arrest) a lot of the energy has diffused and the election is going to be decided by middle - upper class suburban whites who crave normalcy. I lived in Florida in 2016 and everywhere you looked there were trump flags, trump merchandise, etc. I just drove across the country and saw like three trump signs, one in Indiana, one in Kansas, and one in Colorado, and the one in Colorado just said, “thank you for trying to make our country great again”. Loser shit. The energy just isn’t there.

Also consider the shifting demographics. A lot of older people who tend to vote republican died of Covid these last few years while a lot of young people who grew up on anti-trump media and naturally skew left are entering voting age. There are some right wing young people but not a ton, especially compared to previous generations.

We might not have another republican president for a few election cycles. I think when we eventually do, it’ll be a young, savvy politician who doesn’t talk about culture war stuff as much but “just wants to keep taxes low and put America first”, like a further right Pete buttigieg. The current strategy of latching into divisive culture war stuff isn’t working. They want to recreate 2016 but 2016 was such a one in a million aligning of specific conditions that it’s unlikely to work again, even with bidens falling approval ratings due to unpopular support of Israel.

My apartment building is requiring us to pay $30 for an app to allow us to continue parking in the garage, which we already pay $75 a month for. The entire American experience is just a continuous process of being hit with random fees and charges that only exist to further pad margins. I didn’t get the app and my car got towed from a spot I pay on time each month to have. It cost me $375 to retrieve my car. All for parking in a spot I pay for.
