Pitbulls are more dangerous than other breeds in the sense that guns are more dangerous than baseball bats; 90% of the danger is dependent on the temperament of the human beings in the scenario.

TARFU was too beautiful to survive in this cursed world.

When they write the history of this era, the discussions around identity politics and the cynical weaponization thereof should devote an entire chapter to what happened to Taibbi.

No, it was centrist libs using it as an excuse to go after a popular journalist who often critiques them from the left.

I suppose I'm quibbling, but Idunno if "identity politics" makes sense as the framing for the issue there. But then, I don't even use that phrase anymore because almost all of the arguments over it seem to be people talking past each other over a phrase with no firm definition anymore.

It’s a worthwhile quibble. We need better/more language because stuff like “wine mom feminism” gets at what folks are discussing but obvs will be alienating, and I’m tired of asking people if their version of intersectionality includes class as well.

Having to write like 3 different "The colors in Great Gatsby and what they signify" essays in high school destroyed my interest in literary critique, it's all a bunch of fart sniffing.

Just read books and enjoy them.

I can’t imagine reading like...the entire genre of science fiction, for instance, with this attitude.

It’s like thinking Get Out had no relevance in the cultural moment and was just what it was on the surface. You’re enjoying half the movie at that point.

That Root piece is especially dumb considering Peele has said explicitly that he is meticulous about what is in every shot; if you believe that symbolism or resonances with/references to other works and the culture in which the work is being produced is irrelevant than all that he’s admitting is he’s an OCD production designer, rather than a craftsman trying to make work that is effective at many levels.

The left wing of the party are running the table.

After 2016, I think that the conventional wisdom among more centrist Libs considering a run was that you should adopt Sanders’ platform and that would neuter him in ‘20. But the same dumbshit cargo cult politics that make them think if they run to the center they’ll pick up GOP moderate voters blinkered them here. They don’t get that if people are getting the real deal from either the Bernie wing or the GOP, they’re not going to go for some watered down substitute.

Their other problem is that since they adopted Sanders’ platform (yes, a hollow imitation that only rhymes, but still) they are seen as having already submitted to the progressive wing, which isn’t a recipe for not having to submit more. So now we get to force the candidates to make pledges around fundraising that they will have to break, and in fact are already. And we get to force Think Progress to apologize for their attempted ratfucking. And now Harris has to apologize for this policy.

They thought that you just bend the knee once and that you are done. They don’t understand that they will keep having to bend it now or suffer the backlash.

the upshots to vaping are that your clothes don't smell like they've been fumigated and you avoid the dreaded smoker's cough

that cough is the absolute worst poo poo. everything else about vaping is lame as poo poo though

It delivers the fix. So that’s a plus too. It’s not as satisfying as cigarettes, but it will get the job done, and you can use it inside without any stank so you don’t have to go outside for your habit during a blizzard.

Cocaine will eat at your cognitive abilities if you do it over time. I’ve got a few friends that used to be interesting, wild and funny people and just...aren’t anymore. It sucks and I miss them and I hate what it did to them. I can’t really judge as lord knows I like to like the weed a lot. But cocaine actually does what DARE commercials say weed does to you, long term. Not to mention the scarcity/never enough factors make for really lovely social dynamics.

I dunno, right now they're making the equivalent of mid tier tech worker money, not Ruling Class money. Considering that they're not exploiting anyone to get that money (unless you want to argue that they are exploiting credulous saps who don't use the Black Wolf feed, in which case, fair enough), I don't see the cognitive dissonance.

There are 3-location hair salon businesses that make more per year than Chapo. There are Dave and Busters locations that make more than Chapo. I’m a nobody database nerd and I’m pulling down more per year than the individual Chapos.

People who complain about the money have no loving concept of the world they live in, and are sheltered rubes. They’re like toddlers when you ask them how much a cookie costs.
