This is all just about normalizing poor decisions, right?

Ya. I got Century Club on Reddit based mostly on AdviceAnimals posts that hit front page.

Thing is, if this is “relatable”, then people are nodding along and normalizing it. It’s a classic half-joke. Only not actually funny.

Onion also got bought out a couple times. The new videos are low effort crap; nothing like the superb clips from 10-15 years ago, which is probably the best satire ever created.

Joel Fagliano is usually the NYT crossword guy. He’s a savant that’s been working for NYT since he was like a teenager. This seems up his alley.

To be fair, he has a tough stance on immigration, and he’s a good bet to beat the liberals if you feel strongly against the open border policy the left is espousing. There’s plenty of other woke nonsense that could inspire someone to oppose the libs at all costs.

I’m not a Trumper; I’m a moderate liberal that’s tired of losing because of idiotic identity politics and the righteous brigading that alienates anyone who doesn’t fall in lockstep.

This is a fine attitude when you have to choose between eating the shit sandwich and the shards of glass. It’s not so good during the primary, when you’re deciding whether the first option will be a shit sandwich.

This is also not a good thing when it’s weaponized to make sure that no genuinely progressive candidate can be realistic.

Better yet, offer to help them with their time management. That way, it’s a positive and friendly offer, not an overt criticism. And it jams in a little more condescension.
