Yes, but I think the point is that strong man types do appeal to a certain demographic that they are trying to influence, not that it appeals or should appeal to themselves or the general population

I would vote no matter what (assuming I am legally allowed to vote). You have lots of local elections and initiatives that are also on the ballot, plus what if depressed participation causes more “safe” blue states to swing in the wrong direction? Less margin means Trump will challenge the integrity of the election and try to declare he is the winner in more places.

Dairy is definitionally non-vegan because it is products from animals

An impossible task

You must aspire to live in space then, huh?

People that don’t like the original after watching the parody probably wouldn’t like the original even without watching the parody. The parody just puts a spotlight on aspects of the show that lots of people noticed and they probably already have an opinion about those things in their media.

Don’t put too much stock into other people liking the things you like. They have their own very specific individual tastes and you can be good friends even without agreeing on lots of things.

He’s actually trying to build a narrative of distrust around tech companies and trying to reinforce that his information bubble is legitimate despite what it looks like. His supporters will eat it up and be manipulated into thinking certain ways without really knowing it.

Do you prefer voting for somebody that promises to do what a large diverse group of people want or voting on issues directly?

I am happy with nerfs to avoid power creep as long as things are generally getting buffs.

I don’t want to get into a situation where everything needs to keep getting blanket buffed for balance because they find imbalances and going up is the only option.

Fun is also what fuels exploration and learning. I think the overall point here is that there are people who have fun with different experiences that may be at odds with each other. Some people like struggling with something until they achieve success, and others just want to relax and have a good time.

Personally, I’ve had my fun with hard games in the past, but I’m turned off from the idea of getting stuck behind a skill barrier because I’m older now and have less time to spend on games.

I like to think that being called weird isn’t an insult. But it is being taken as an insult when used on people who call others weird as an insult themselves.

Can’t it be fixed?

I have a theory that the anger issues could lead to cognitive decline. Anger and rage has a tendency to kick off the fight or flight response. With that comes survival mode, lizard brain thinking, and irrational decision making. There’s a lot of viral videos of people in this situation where the anger is causing them to make bad decisions. The experience might even be traumatic for them, kicking off their mental defense mechanisms.

Afterward, they post-hoc try to justify what happened in those moments to hold onto the idea that they are still a good person. Occasionally they realize they have a problem that needs to be fixed, but many times they will dig into their irrational positions with new emotional attachments to it. It can take a lot of therapy to get past it, which still has a lot of stigma with testosterone-types, so they don’t and the irrational “logic” builds up over time. Therefore, cognitive decline.

Are there more substantiated studies on the effects of anger, especially there we see this pattern? I think I am seeing it over and over, but I can’t be sure of the prevalence of the behavior since there is a bias in the media I see.

People often segregate themselves into bubbles separated from others they oppose. I can say since the political affiliation is known from past elections, that has become a stronger factor when I am deliberating on which places I would want to live. I’m sure this is adding to the polarization, where people are gravitating to communities that more often reinforce their beliefs and give them fewer opportunities to challenge them.

How can we counter this polarizing force?

Probably shouldn’t say that

Maybe you’re looking for the gender abolition crowd. Gender-neutral bathrooms are pretty nice, giving more privacy with separate toilet rooms, but I hope you’re not too shy to share a sink area with men and women alike if those are not also in each of the rooms. You would not be unwelcome there unless you start trying to make people uncomfortable.

Biden defeated himself, it has nothing to do with Trump

The Democratic candidate is chosen at the convention, which hasn’t happened yet. What would a legal contest even be based on?

From the article you linked to:

Election law expert Richard Hasen wrote that there is “no credence” to the notion that the Democratic Party could not legally replace Biden on the ticket, as he is not the nominee yet – the nominating process generally takes place during the Democratic National Convention.

That could be more an advantage with those on the left than it is a detriment for the bigots on the right or the middle. It is a valid point, though.
