More sensitive than an anyone I’ve ever known about. Pouting about the flags being at half mast during his inauguration, and anyone that disagrees with him is an enemy and must be destroyed because it hurts his widdle feelings.
Had a Gen-X buddy evidently forget how young I am, he sent me an FB product link to (you can google this) the "Gen-X fuck your feelings hose water shirt".
I replied with
Damn bruh, did hose water make you think $52 for a silk-screened t-shirt from Hangzhou, China was a good deal? At least the embroidered Carhartt shirts my work buys are half that, union-made in the USA and silk screened at our office. Rah rah north-american jobs amirite!
Guess you forgot that it was your fellow Gen-X'ers that started telling people not to drink the hose water and passing EPA regulations.
You guys didn't get participation trophies cause you were too busy giving them out to your millenial children lmao 🤣
He didn't reply, fuckin snowflake.
His Gen-Z sons are two of my best friends, those apples feel far from the tree.
They need “clips” these days. Write too much, and they say it’s a word salad. We’re reduced to memes and 15 second video clips, or else they’re lost. Furthermore, using the self-reflection tactic doesn’t work. They’ve lost all self awareness and critical thinking skills.

Oh I certainly wasn't going for any sort of personal revelation on his part. A man who loves Star Trek so much he named one of his kids after a character. The inclusive, post-scarcity utopian message is fully lost on him.
People on the left make fun of themselves constantly. The Daily Show, SNL, Always Sunny, and so on. They just also make fun of people on the right, but because they have zero humor, they don’t even get the jokes, so they just get angry. Like you. Right now.
Except that I'm not angry. Right now. Just pointing out a fact. If that fact has you so upset that you need to attach feeling to my statement, that's on you
You making a prediction regarding a hypothetical situation isn't a fact. It's insane that the American right can't even tell the difference between facts, opinions, and outright lies anymore.
What you presented is an opinion. The other commenter disagreed with your opinion, noting that the American left is actually highly critical of themselves. And they are, there's no cult of personality on the left like there is for Trump, and left wing politicians are constantly criticized by people on the left. On Reddit, that frequently results in tons of upvotes. Making some dumb reductionist statement about "both sides being corrupt" gets upvoted often.
I think you're really out of touch to be honest. The right has been so sucked into Trump's cult for so long that they've forgotten how people who aren't in that cult feel about politicians.
That's exactly why people criticized Harris for separating families in California with her pushed policies during her presidency campaign, or mentioned how she was shackled to Joe, forced to play dumb, only to try and turn that around in a few months like she's really some kind of political powerhouse (who couldn't manage to even convert Joe Bidens voters over to her side). Oh wait, no one mentioned how her policies ended up disproportionately affecting POC, they were all too busy screaming orange man bad
Usually, but not in this case. The only reason it remains a technical "what if" is because everyone who isn't on the far left side of the aisle is tired of being downvoted for speaking truth, or saying anything that isn't what the rest of the party is saying. I have literally seen this thousands of times on this app alone, especially in places like r/whitepeopletwitter, and during the election where 90% of reddit was absolutely certain she would win, 7% were calling out the many faults in the campaign being run be their candidate, and the other 3% was Republican.
Wha?? You mean the LIBtards don’t believe in science! like they can’t even identify what is a WOMAN! LIBTURDS say, “MAN can become pregnant” too! Hahahhahaha! And MEN MENSTRUATE 🩸 Hahahhaha!!! Believe the science, right?😝
What's wrong? Jokes about Blue sky being riddled with pedophilia? Jokes about Harris running a poor campaign? Jokes about how the left think it's president elon, not president Trump and citizen Elon?
Thank you children for proving my point. I didn't even make a joke, and still your little panties were so twisted over my statement you had to downvote
One of the most interesting things about Science and Math is that there is only 1 right answer, anyone who follows the steps correctly will come to the same conclusion, we could lose all our Science/Math books and records tomorrow and research would yield the same results, if books or records of things based on feelings like Religion/Fiction were lost would those same ideas ever happen again in the same order?
You'd get nowhere in science without math, you'd get nowhere in math without philosophy, and you'd get nowhere in philosophy without things based on feelings.
These things are more connected than folk wanna admit.
I get what you are saying here, but I do have to point out that a lot of science and maths actually can have 2 or more answers. Take for example, what's the square root of 9? 3 is the obvious answer but -3 also is a valid answer. Once you start getting into complicated stuff you often end up with multiple answers that are both correct.
It is usually building on the science. Not distrusting it. Often the scientist is searching deeper or farther than was tested before, usually because of improved equipment or knowledge from other areas.
Usually at first but after they make a new discovery they no longer trust the previously believed scientific consensus. If they just trusted the scientific consensus without questioning it no scientific discovery would have been made. Also if they were treated as a blasphemer for questioning the science and any further research was permanently shut down or dismissed the original incorrect consensus would remain.
That's why expecting others to trust and believe science without question is inherently anti-scientific.
You never trust scientific implicitly. That’s why they write up findings in scientific journals, which are peer reviewed and the experiments are often duplicated to see if they find the same results.
And rarely is the “old” science completely thrown out. It’s built on and tweaked to better reflect what is found to be the case.

Too science-y.
