Yet another refugee who washed up on the shore after the great Reddit disaster of 2023

  • Maybe, but you're going to get the real experience on a porn site.

    As an aside, with no intent to kink shame, I've always been surprised at how significant/popular that subcategory is. I have a hard time even seeing the thumbnails.

  • I typed in the URL figuring it wasn't going to be real, but it is.

    I'm thinking that there were people in the chain who recognized the issue, but didn't speak up because they thought it would make them look bad. A grass roots emperor's new clothes kind of thing.

  • Use "prolapse" as a search term on a porn site

  • But anyone who is uninformed to that level is completely unlikely to watch a debate. I mean, if they invested five minutes a night (maybe even a week) listening to the top news headlines, they wouldn't be undecided.

    A debate is probably a waste of everyone's time other than for entertainment value and selling clicks.

  • It's such a beautiful area. We used to rent a houseboat on Shasta lake as a regular summer vacation. But the political signs you see there are just insane.

  • There's a historical place near my house (Southern California) that was built in 1903 and has a bunch of bas-relief swastikas in the decorations. They have little signs up explaining that the building predates adoption of the symbol by Nazis, but it's really strange to walk around and see them.

  • Well, I think that's incorrect, but neither of us will ever know.

  • Fair point

  • The only quibble I have with this is that, as the article points out, projection is generally a subconscious things people do. I firmly believe Trump knows exactly what he's doing and he accuses others first so if they accuse him it looks like "no, you are!" It's just one strategy in his con man book.

  • If you read the article, it gets from the one to the other. It's actually worth reading.

  • Nice thought, but it won't matter. Trump will just have Ronnie Jackson say he's never seen a man as healthy as Trump in all his years, and that Trump will likely live to be 250 years old, and even then he'll only die because he'll realize he's solved all of the world's problems and there's nothing left to live for.

    (There are too many "ands" in that sentence, but I can't be bothered to fix it)

  • Once upon a time, there were liberals and conservatives whose most significant differences were things like how much of the national budget we should allocate to defence. We've become much more polarized, and now we have a party that openly supports racism, has literally staged a failed coup, has aligned with fascist dictators, and wants to strip the rights from many of our friends and family. Yeah, judging them is the right thing to do.

  • The flip side is that people who live in states with a big land area but relatively small population have a way oversized vote compared to people who live in high population states. Why should a small number of people in the Midwest be able to outvote the majority?

  • Let's be real: very few of us have the talent or skills to make anything approaching those

  • Either the 'N' in "sandwich" is backwards or it's a large, lowercase 'n'

  • According to the article, he was cloning generic material from a species of sheep that's banned in the state he was doing it, and he was forging inspection reports to move the sheep in and out of the state. Not sure the creation of the hybrid species was really the crime.

  • I only partially agree. Yes, with the recent debates featuring Trump frothing at the mouth and saying completely insane and hateful stuff, if a debate doesn't have that it's worth connecting on. But people do care about content.

    With this debate as an example, lots of people commented on the "sanewashing" that Vance was doing - trying to give plausible explanations for things Trump has said or done - but it's just not as outrageous as what we're used to. And the Republican base was largely happy with that he said, even when it was demonstratively false.

    I think people care, but it's twigs being added to a pile of logs.

  • Seems hard to believe that this debate moved the needle much on either side. They both performed well, there were no big gotcha moments, and each said the stuff that their base would want them to say. Neither seemed unhinged, both were well spoken.

    Vance said some stuff that was total crap, but that's not a problem for anyone considering voting for Trump. I just don't see that there's any way anyone's mind was changed.
