    He acknowledged that the shit he wrote was misogynistic so I don't know why you would be framing it like that. Because it definitely was https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN1CX0QB/

    I’m not sure what you mean by framing? I was just trying to remember something that happened several years ago. Perhaps you mean my saying the accusations were “weak,” by which I simply meant compared to other accusations going around at the time, even ones that were not criminal (Louis CK). Yes, for sure the writings were misogynist as was the pop cultural zeitgeist he was tapped into at the time. 
     

    I think bro clearly lost his mind by his pseudo-cancellation.

    matt tabbi.. wtf happened to that guy. used to do some solid reporting and investigative journalism type stuff. 

    he got “cancelled” back in like 2018 or smth. There were complaints that he wrote misogynist (?) material during his gonzo period, basically pretty weak accusations that had a harder punch bc of the momentum of me too and the popularity of using social media to try to ruin people. I don’t think he faced any kind of material consequences or anything but it seemed like he spiraled into an all too familiar anti-woke(tm) persona directly after this which has culminated in his incredibly pathetic behavior over recent years. Many such cases. sad!

    i know what you mean. you've got to assess on a case by case basis whether and how to engage. definitely some people at some times are dangerous and should be left alone. and some people are toward the dense and hopeless end of the spectrum. 

    one thing about brainwashing is that it can be a step on the way to war. you say "seems to me we're past that point" and this the reasoning in the minds of people who become willing to resort to deadly violence. this is a really unfortunate place to be in. we should keep this is in mind as a motivator to find opportunities to move the ball forward where we can. you don't have to win each battle with each person, it is enough to just move the ball forward some amount. and really this is the better approach, which is recommended when dealing with cult members: not too confrontational. ask questions and sincerely listen. sharing a single piece of information can help. especially if it is relevant, significant, and well supported. try to find a piece of information that the person would find interesting. some things are just interesting, and not too objectionable, but can help people think in a better direction.

    i say doing god's work jokingly, and as a way of saying that this is the frontline, and this is where the work of improving society occurs.

    i say it's unfortunate that we're forced to debate because it is so difficult and painful. and yeah in some cases it's not appropriate. and i am talking about a very large time frame. we are in a 100 year crucible. it's important to remember that the more conflict we can resolve through debate, the less conflict energy will manifest as force

    certainly people are being played against each-other. there is no doubt about this. existing fissures in society are exploited. prigozhin's Internet Research Agency easily manipulated americans with things like racism

    i'm fucking amazed how people are sharing bad takes for likes that could result in a deeply fucked dystopia in the next 1 year. 

     

    all the hot takers criticizing the dems for not having strong messaging don't realize that they are the messagers and they are fucking up the dem messaging

     

    including jon fucking stewart. i grew up on the guy but i can't help but notice in recent years he's looking thirsty and his shit isn't landing. now here he is cashing in some cheap likes that will demobilize dem turnout

     

    let me tell you about this election. it's a mobilization election. it's about not splitting the anti-trump vote, and it's about mobilizing the biden voters. if you don't like that, fist your ass. that's how it is. 

     

    biden's fucking great and that's not even bs. people's minds are fucked and they can't handle someone saying the wrong word without bringing about armaggeddon. we're fucked

     

    the guy says the wrong word and jon stewart can't resist amplifying the fox narrative that he's senile

     

    the guy hugs someone and ignatius can't resist amplifying the disinfo narrative that he smells hair

     

    smart people are falling into the modern traps and they don't know they have fishing line hanging out of their mouths

     

    holy fuck we're fucked. and it's not because of biden, biden is a better elected official than most. it's because the minds of the voters are fucked

     

    enjoy pretending you know shit you don't know. these attractive tricks were designed for you to enjoy and you're enjoying them. jesus christ. 

     

    it's impressive how you shift from enlightened wonk on the frontline of crucial debate, to the minds of voters are fucked go fist your ass. 

    i honestly recommend spending less time online, brother.

    Try & avoid trash but knew TD season 4 wasn’t going to rock. Jump scares & screaming dead-eyed dead peeling skin knock off Walking Dead fx. Absurd.

    Season 1 was quite minimal, beautiful shots of a wilted Louisiana. Limited number of characters really well cast. A sound effect landscape missing from every series since. No real plot, relationships you can’t really care for & ooooh that logo again & oooh start asking the right questions. Again.

    Pre-nursery run vent agh wasting a rare spare pre work hour with crap.

    dude yes. the sound and music are a big part of the first season and in the new one it's boring generic soundtrack music interspersed with very annoying song drops. 

    great acting though, definitely the best part of the new season

    man they almost had me falling for the newest episode of TD S4. but then they just went oh shit, gotta cram in 73 more plot points in the last 15 minutes....shit, how do we set this up? oh, just go back a few minutes and add some 15 second exchanges setting up the exact most ludicrous circumstances possible for the big epic shitfan.

    actor playing Navarro is stellar, but really almost all of the acting is great. some nice character moments even in a lopsided episode like this. shame about the whole fucking plot and story crapfest.

    i would've rated it 6 scary spiral drawings out of 10 but they just HAD  HAD   H A D  to *

      Hide contents

    throw in a stupid fucking jumpscare recap scene in editing because....idfk man i d k. in case you forgot all the jumpscares so far, hey, there it is ! JUMP SCARE SIZZLE REEL FOR THE JUMPSCARE FANDOM

    so instead only 4 scary spirals out of 10 (would've been 3 but the exclusion of excessive scary spiral drawings/imagery in this episode felt like a goddamn vacation so i gave it an extra point)

    *very mild spoilers for the episode design, not plot details.

    this shit should just be it's own show. it's lame to me that this is marketed as "true detective" when it strays so far from all of the qualities that made the first season so interesting. i guess i'd say all of the subsequent seasons have been like this but damn dude, i'm watching this new season just waiting for it to get more "true detectivey" but it's just some mid crime drama where every character has some kind of sad personal story and the dark ominous element isn't even in the backseat, that shit is locked away in the trunk. also ffs the cgi is bad lol. polar bears look like they're hovering over the ground and shit. 

    needs more weirdo murder shit!!!! stop being law & order csi alaska.

    biden is great, in my honest opinion. left afghanistan, resolved covid, recovered inflation, good economy, helped ukraine. continues to call things what they are and to handle political conflicts more effectively than anyone i can think of. 

    dude come on lol
