  • I guess what I meant is the -sh sound is likely to be known across more reading levels than the -tia sound because it comes up earlier in reading education. The first spelling, when sounded out, more readily reproduces "dementia" as the remedial reader has heard it ambiently

  • When he loses he will almost certainly say something in his concession speech like "I have faith that President Trump will unite Americans and do what is best for this country, and I look forward to advising him if he needs me," even if this would be completely inappropriate to say, because Joe worships the religion of civility that much.

  • At least normies will clock Kamala as some sort of modern, non-white telegenic girlboss politician in passing, the way they'll mentally peg John Fetterman as some rugged guy, Warren as some professor lady, AOC as some young firebrand.

    Liz Cheney however occupies absolutely zero space in the public's mind as anything, and her celebrity is exclusively the concoction of the centrist and neocon media anchors who still remember and care about Dick Cheney, and thinks it somehow matters that his daughter occasionally adds one Republican vote to another doomed bill to prosecute Trump. Cheney herself cannot capture any organic public interest, and any coverage she gets is due to either the cable news hosts mentally masturbating about her across the aisle commitment to "norms," or Donald Trump seeing these news bits, getting mad, then calling for his hogs to find and kill her.

  • It is the aesthetic of seriousness and moderation they crave, the ability to look and seem professional and educated independent of any substantive proof that they are. This fakery is unveiled whenever you see a Celebrity Jeopardy episode where the news anchors/political commentators get demolished by comedians, even though the anchors appear way more put together and well read than the comedians do.

    A lot of the Ivy grad pmc centrists don't know shit about shit, they just know the style choices, catchphrases, and speaking cadences that will get them clocked as thoughtful and competent by the layperson, while letting them ward off questions from smart people that actually probe their depth of knowledge.

  • That just means you haven't found the thing that speaks to their soul yet, just something that they agree with on a surface level and doesn't incept them with a will to unpack anything personally. For me my de-libining came after 2016 when I read what the groypers were saying and thoroughly read intellectual dark web stuff and saw that the lib brand of alternating snark, hysteria and patting themselves on the back for being the "decent" side was completely toothless against and ignorant to these rising political currents.

    All of the Democrat messaging I saw felt designed to make them look good only within the parameters of right wing framing, and depended on taking the right's bad faith arguments at face value ("I thought you loved the troops but now you're attacking Gold Star families? Busted!"). I saw how the dirtbag left didn't mince words when talking about troops or back down when another self-righteous fake outrage campaign was started by the right, I saw Richard Spencer get punched once, lose the majority of his following and disprove the notion that the "marketplace of ideas" was the best antidote to hate, and I never looked back.

  • I think the word "said" is being overlooked here, he meant there is not the same type of anti-Black and anti-Latino racism and history of redlining in the UK as there has been in the US and that pit bull bans there do not seem to be geared in the same degree toward barring select races from moving into select neighborhoods. He wasn't trying to say the UK has never had any history of slavery and racism with any race, just that attributing a pit bull ban to race in the fashion that the OP cites does not square with the dynamics behind the UK pit bull ban--which almost exclusively affects chud white people.

  • To be fair Black and Latino communities are where overt display of machismo and toxic masculinity might manifest in ownership of a pit bull. Furthermore in poorer neighborhoods with higher crime pit bulls sometimes get used in lieu of guns to threaten and rob people. If you read DMX's memoir he talked about how he would go around with his large muscular pit bull and take things from people, then use the dog to intimidate them into walking away.

  • I would prefer it if she wasn't self consciously performing for an audience at all times with her forced laughter, or her awkwardly shoehorned in "as a woman" stands.

    It is time that purposely waiting for your debate opponent to interject so you can say "Excuse me sir, I am speaking!" or waiting all debate to work in the line "That little girl was me!" so you can concurrently fire out a tweet to sell t-shirts bearing that slogan, or similar parlor tricks stop working on people.

    The character Kemi from Veep was clearly a mockery of her.
