bit idea: Genshin Impact sues Nintendo over porn BotW game
I have this tendency to look at what is happening and the implications of acting like that more than the why. That leaves me with this black box of incomprehensible emotional mush. I feel like it tracks that every time they rag against blue hair, 15 seconds later they're gonna say some "and now you don't even know what gender your car is!!" They'd have some idea to the effect of this actress being more correct and therefore more beautiful. If you're confused, you should simply strive to be like her or (let's be real, they'd like "and" instead) die trying.
Do you really think the reason boils down to pure transphobia? Not like in conjunction with some loss of a privileged position where people couldn't talk back to you?
It would have gone down differently if I were the with a 6 pack of ice cold brewskis, some country music, and a tattered baseball cap, I'll tell you that much, brother
Local library madness? Gone fishing madness? Behind the wheel of a forklift madness?
I think I put my friend in a mate in 1 in our daily game. I was astonished by his 1000+ rating in daily and I've been grinding puzzles and rapid games for maybe a year now and I think I finally got them. 
So here's the thing as I see it: conservatives have/(I argue) had lightning in their hands with memes about avoiding taxes. That shit is funny as fuck. Evading the IRS agent, capsizing your boat, etc. are all a really good playing field to get people to warm up to your side. I don't think they did a good job making sure that stayed in the zeitgeist because it's so much easier to think of conservatives as people who don't like woke things. So instead of seeing them desparados and cowboys, you see a black person in media, roll your eyes, and think "my weird uncle would hate this." Bringing the taxes back up probably has diminishing returns because now it just looks like another bid to get you to dislike shit.
Now you have another battlefield where there's a "national divorce" where, by some stroke of luck, the left ended up with beer, football, and tomboys ( 
). However, the idea is that the right got boobs in the divorce. So now you have a chance, as a conservative memer, to go "oh my god, the right likes to princess carry and look down at the boobs, the left likes to be princess carried." Unfortunately, you as a conservative, are not normal about women and instead like to get into diatribes defining womanhood (but DEFINITELY not gender expression). The main thrust at the moment is going to be talking about BODACIOUS ta-tas and how 1950s coded this woman is. Oh my god she's so bubbly and no other woman in my life acts bubbly. You can never be the party where women are free to express themselves because, frankly, you're the people who want to have a say in their healthcare. You would rather the single family unit be the main building block of society (you're not even the party of the clan). At best you're Colby Covington with paid models, but Megan Thee Stallion is never going to be scantily clad for freedom the way she is for anime.
So even if it could work and you could have a fierce competitor for national popularity, you won't. They're not cool. They can never be cool. Even country music was cooler before conservatives got ahold of it.
Yeah uhh... Mr. Fidel Castro? Is that you? Yeah hi, it's me, WDYMP. Hey, I was just calling because I have a comrade here who won't finish their food. Yeah, it's ${user}. What's that? You're disappointed in them? I am too. Yeah, I'll go ahead and tell them. Thanks, bye.
I can't imagine a spin that Isntreal could have spun to make people like it when you kill a fuckload of people for no reason. Cause they sure pushed a hostages angle but then they killed hostages themselves. They pushed the human shield thing and nobody believed in tunnels under hospitals and then they used civilians as shields themselves. At some level it can't just be narrative and the simple fact is that genocide is cringe. That's why it's not even left right - it's not even left right as lefties know it. Nobody wants to give these freaks a goddamn dollar, some of us want to give them... a piece of our mind at the polls. I'd be shocked if you could spin a genocide in 4k as inevitable and just but a question whether Biden or trump do it. When it happened at the border people fucking hated Biden for it
Plenty of answers that explain it, but I still thought of a sick ass metaphor. Imagine two farmers, one of them inherits a set of rusty old tools. They till the land and they manage to make 100 potatoes in the season off the sweat of their brow. The second farmer takes a $1,000,000 dollar loan. They get a massive patch of land, people to till it, an irrigation system, etc. and manages to make 1,000,000,000 potatoes. They then pay off the million dollar loan and has 500,000,000 potatoes left over in the same amount of time (they often skip paying off the loan). The second farmer then takes out another loan, but this time they demonstrate their business model and that way they command a much bigger loan of $1,000,000,000 instead. The speed at which you can grow your company depends on how much money you can borrow. Getting a loan simply means that you can produce shit much faster to the point of economic relevance.
If you keep doing this and you have finite resources, you end up with problems. Both you as the farmer and an engineer need copper tubing: you for your irrigation and the engineer for their hadron collider. As a result, paintball guns end up costing $50,000 a pop because they require copper tubing of which there just isn't enough to go around. Therefore all the dudes who rock at your office start leaving to go work for a farm which commands higher wages so they can get paintball guns. Suddenly the offices are suffering and we need office workers and basically shit's out of whack.
Therefore, the government and not really the government (the fed) go "you need to chill out, we're not loaning money this easily anymore." So the terms on these million and billion dollar loans go from like 7% yearly interest to like 7.5% and it means that the calculus for businesses no longer works. The second farmer who ended up making 1,000,000,000,000 potatoes a year suddenly needs to lay off 80% of their workforce who were getting big salaries due to the cheap money. Only if you're really, really sure that you have a good opportunity do you seek a business loan during a rate hike. So then people go back to their offices and only the sick ass innovations actually follow through instead of the explosion of volatile ideas trying and failing.
Communism will win
I imagine the labels are as valuable as they are useful: "Oh, you're bi? Are you looking for a man to date? Oh not really?" It must be different if you're discovering yourself with them and I have no personal reference for it.
Straight is the only special label that you need to perform and maintain where you claim to be straight , yet you drink pink lemonade and wrestle 
. I might need more education than what TC69 left me with, but I think of stolen valor as more of an attitude. The difference between a straight ally and a bi ally is much less than a straight/bi person who shouts and hollers about how we're so close, wonderful, and superficially powerful.
It's probably a really sticky matrix because you could have an ally who has read Marx but does very little, but you could have an ally who thinks that Isntreal is the LGBT bastion in the middle east, but shows up every time they're needed. You could have someone who is trying the labels as a costume, but you know they need help and guidance and you could have someone who is pretty sure they're straight. In my estimation it comes back to organizing and taking the requisite parts of theory into the situation so you don't get co-opted by unfocused action. Not that you're not having fun, meeting new people, or being silly while you're there, but when it comes to social causes, are you there liberating or fueling the machine?
I've been annoying my friend when he explains something scientific by going "like putting too much air in a balloon"
And then one time it WAS like putting too much air in a balloon and I just laughed
