I have wondered a similar question… Is the trend that young men who are raised in a republican environment / family / culture aren’t leaving it at the same rate as their predecessors? Or is it that more young men raised in a liberal / apolitical environment are being captured by the right wing internet pipeline?

I would guess that in previous generations, kids are raised about 50/50 to match their parents beliefs (who are roughly 50/50 conservative or liberal) and the significant dominance of liberal youth vote was attributable to kids leaving that ideology behind as they form their own beliefs, reenforced by peer effects. But I’ve wondered if tiktok and other new social dysfunction of current generations has made it easier for kids raised in that 50/50 to just “stay” where they were raised.

Perhaps it could all be explained by the weakening of the ability of peer effects to influence young people’s political beliefs. Young men feel they have more community in online conservative spaces than they do in their more egalitarian real world social environments, so instead of ditching their parents beliefs to match their real world friends they ditch their real world friends that don’t match their beliefs.

Thanks I get it now 🙌🏼

Someone explain the joke pls

My favorite part was when Hank showed up, deadpanned the fourth wall, and said “I guess that means junior is… braking bad” and then schradered all over the place while maintaining eye contact with the camera

There is no contradiction. Anyone can put their foot in their mouth or trip up what they’re saying. Doesn’t mean they are casual or even rare users of racial slurs. My point is If somebody is saying something racist it’s easy enough to criticize that without resorting to pointing out they used one phoneme of a bad word. It just sounds petty and it doesn’t at all speak to the people that need convincing that the rhetoric around immigrants is unacceptable. Do you want to feel superior or do you want to win?

Did he do that? It’s not clear. Sounds like he just fumbled his words. And no I don’t use them on accident or on purpose but nice try

Then just attack his racist comments and not speaking. It’s not clear that’s what he said. There’s plenty of racist people who would never ever in a million years use that word. If they’re really so bad it’s easy to beat them on substance without resorting to gotchas that can happen to anyone

Yall mfers never heard of the one cup communion before have you

It’s not clear! Just my interpretation :) I’m an atheist now but when I was growing up I was always confused why Jesus said “sell everything you own and give to the poor” and Christians were like “it’s a metaphor” lol idk seems pretty clear to me

I interpreted it as giving all the money you have on you to someone in desperate need. Otherwise it doesn’t really make sense lol. This of course is subverted by the fact that today people don’t carry money on their person

What about aftermarket parts? Get fucked?

I definitely loved certain aspects of discovery lol. I just hated how f’d up they made the rest of the timeline and I don’t love the future they locked TNG era into even if it was an interesting story to tell (except for the final episode with crying kid destroying dilithium because wtf)

Discovery isn’t canon CMV

What didn’t you like about Div 2 rules? I understand some of them wouldn’t adapt well to tabletop / dice but I liked their AP system better than BG3s action / bonus action

You’re just gonna have to search for it my friend. Okbuddybaldur will hook you up

But they did tangle all the time. That was annoying.

AI is cool. AI research is valuable. AI has the power to be a transformative technology.

Corporate AI hype for tech fueled neofeudalism is not cool. Commodification of AI is not valuable. LLMs will never substantively change the world.

If your love letter isn’t given in the form of highly obfuscated C, is it really a love letter? I don’t know, but what I do know is that I love you! <3
