Why miss the opportunity to say “bigly,”

Because the goal isn’t to sound stupid?

Dug a bit, and apparently this seat has literally never been held by a Republican; this is quite the misleading headline.

Her name is “Chasity”, by the way, not “Chastity”.

wanting to sound like an adult when making a genuine criticism is bootlicking

???

1. The fact that “mocking terms” is even in your ‘playbook’ to begin with, speaks volumes about you.
2. Acting like “y’all” is a component of some high-minded satire is genuinely hilarious. Who do you think you’re kidding?

You’re going to enjoy this, I think (ignore the titles of the videos, this is definitely what @maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone was referring to, and the context makes the bit about WWW so much better:

Each more pathetic than the last, it’s always a hallmark of an infantile mind not worth engaging with, in my experience.

Mature adults can talk about people they don’t like without this stupid playground nonsense.

Asinine ‘doodyhead’-tier ‘nicknames’ for people you don’t like are never appropriate, once you’ve reached a double-digit age. Grow up.

Actual centrism is nothing more than the state of not falling completely in line with the values/positions of one ‘wing’. Anyone who could be accurately described as “right-leaning” or “left-leaning” is by definition a type of centrist; that’s why it’s ‘only’ a “lean”.

The way centrism is stereotyped is similar to how bisexuals most commonly experience biphobic stereotyping. Bisexuals can be seen as ‘gay in denial’ (see the ‘conservative in disguise’ comment you replied to), as sexual ‘fence-sitters’, as impressionable ‘sluts’ who don’t have the conviction to commit to one sex, etc.

The fact is, a lot more people than one might assume, ‘deviate’ from both extremes to some degree.

More or less the same way fried chicken ‘became the hallmark of cuisine’ for black Americans: it’s a stereotype, simple as that.

It’s not “sensitivity”, it’s simply pattern recognition. In the US, unseasoned/bland food has been a crack made at the expense of ‘white people’ specifically, for a very long time on the Internet.

I knew that second link was going to be Technology Connections, hah.

Yeah, I was reading this OP, wondering if the poster thought that the end result of successful unionization would be one worker getting a $1 raise, lol.

That’s a straw man, so I’m not going to bother responding beyond pointing out the fallacy. Consider engaging with what I actually said.

No. Also I specifically used the ‘90% of their income’ figure and not the 95% one shortly mentioned thereafter, because I think it’s fair that even those who are struggling the most ought to be able to have some ‘fun’ with their money.

But most people do earn enough to pay for their necessities, have fun, and save. And many people don’t save for later, even though they easily can, in the name of putting more on the ‘fun’ pile.

Maybe Kamala can end 6-7

It’s already over, lol, you’re showing your age, too.

oled people

It’s a good technology, but they’re not actually sentient, okay?

Getting the Orange Box for $10 back in the day has to be my all-time best.
