  • Lol the trump x Haley comparison is irrelevant

    First because she never really had a chance to win the primaries against the maga cult

    And second because even if she did, being part of the republican party these days is more than enough reason to assume she's a fascist asshole. Does it matter if she's a slightly less bad fascist asshole? (And if you wanna reduce it to "everyone I don't like is all the same" that's fine with me)

  • Pointing out that the Democrats are bad is not the same as saying 'both sides are the same'. Sure, Biden is infinitely better than the alternative, but it would be really nice to have some actually good options instead of just lesser evil

  • TLDR: privacy law won't pass because it would limit the government's right to buy "commercially available data" on anyone without a warrant

    This includes location data collected from cell phones that are capable in many cases of tracking people’s physical whereabouts almost constantly. The data is purportedly gathered for advertising purposes...

    A government that actually cares about privacy wouldn't be debating 'should we be able to buy that data', it would be asking the real question 'why the fuck is it legal to collect and sell that data?'

    Even if we pretend that data will only ever be used for ads, it's still not fucking OK for advertisers to stalk everyone everywhere 24/7 (and every use other than ad stuff is probably worse)

  • Remember a few years ago when a teenager took an interstate trip to play cop and threaten black people with a gun?

    And then he ended up killing some people and cried a lot in the trial ("I'm the victim" tears, not "I regret murdering those guys" tears)

    And he became a conservative star.

    Satire doesn't stand a chance against reality

  • oh snap.

  • The movies did a great job at presenting thanos as an extremist that sincerely wants the greater good by questionable means, but it falls apart because his grand plan is just so stupid. The only way to reconcile the sympathetic character with the dumb plan is to point out he's "THANOS THE MAD TITAN", not "THANOS THE TITAN THAT FULLY CONSIDERS THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS ACTIONS"

    Would have been much better if they just kept his original motivation from the comics: Death is a hot lady and horny thanos does the snap as a gift to her

  • That's assuming you'll meet literally every person on earth

    Let's say you will have a meaningful interaction with 1000 people ever, 1% of that leaves you with 10

    If you're not bi make it 5 before you even start considering wether you also find those people attractive back, if they're single and in the right age range

    So get that confidence back down. Statistics are a bitch

  • Our planet is on fire. The Nazis are back. Most of us are wage slaves. Women are going to prison over their physiology. Multiple nations are currently at risk of being wiped off the map...

    Conservatives care about all of those actually relevant things, but they're trying to make them even worse.

    Of course that wouldn't be very popular, so instead they just scream about what's in people's pants and their voters eat it up
