  • It’s funny, I keep seeing you comment about how spicy the comment section is, but this is one of your first responses.

    I think the problem is your shower thought just feels so painfully obvious to people, hence the comments vs votes. This person is trying to show you why it feels so obvious, and your response seems to denote both an understanding and an ignorance, it’s childlike.

    If you are American, you had like an 80% chance to be born into a family that celebrates a traditional xmas, tree/present/Santa, with Jesus being a common addon, but with an entirely separate mythology kinda tacked on to it.

    So you have a tradition celebrated since youth, attached to a national holiday, where the religious part of the tradition is unconnected to the fun part. Santa Xmas is totally secular. It’s would be more notable if you didn’t celebrate xmas. Which is why basically everyone finds jehovas witnesses so odd.

    Just kinda of a mid shower though, more of an I’m 14 and this is deep. Which if you are, no shade, just explaining.



  • A video exists of Hasan Piker pulling his dog Fish back hard by the tail while saying if the dog moves he will “literally kill him”. I’ve seen it. Anyone who can treat animals like that is rotten inside. His followers who can ignore shit like that either don’t care how he treats animals or have put their head in the sand about it.

    It’s ok to admit you like Hasan Piker and his message more than you care that he has abused animals on film. It’s silly and cultish to pretend anyone who has also seen these things with their own eyes is a fan of some other also piece of shit steamer. These people are all pieces of shit.

    Your lives are bookended by assholes.





  • Legit, my stupid friends got mad at me for pointing this out the first time. Biden hasn’t held a regular job since the 70’s. His job was fundraising for politics. They picked him to run with Obama because he was the most milquetoast centrist available (which is literally a proponent of the police state in the US). He was a token, a skin tone balancer. Everyone’s buddy gaffin’ Joe.

    These dynastic politico assholes are the problem. If you’ve spent your whole life in politics, you are deeply out of touch. You can’t possibly legislate properly if you haven’t been forced to engage with the job market for decades. Not even because you are good at your job, because incumbency is the thing that decides elections in MOST cases.



  • It’s a very weird team sport thing. You tend to see a lot of incredibly lucid and detailed conversation in academia about it, but lab leak and natural origin split into a political argument for the majority of people who have it.

    But interestingly, a lot of governments accept the lab leak theory, maybe because the project of finding and testing wild viruses for potential pandemic response was an internationally funded project that all governments either quietly or loudly (in the case of the US) stopped funding immediately once a pandemic happened. Kinda understandably, fat lot of good that did.

    No one wants the smoke if it was a lab leak, if it was a purely natural thing at this wet market, well that can happen at any wet market anywhere in the world, there is no culpability there.

    What we do know is that we’ll likely never know the true origin of the virus, because the place it happened didn’t cooperate with finding the source of it. And if they have more evidence than the same samples and maps everyone else has, they aren’t telling.
