You can read it two ways:

1. gee they’re so WFH friendly
2. they drive their people hard and they work nights and weekends

“GenX was hit the hardest” is a direct quote from the video, timecode 17:02

Yes there is more than just that one quote to consider, but what are you doing saying it wasn’t in the video?

From soy milk’s heyday in the 1990s to the rise of oat milk amid the content vortex of the late 2010s, alternative milks have long been queer-coded choices.

Huh what? And here I thought I was going to see some data. But no.

Source?

I talked to a bunch of queer people

This is junk.

I’ll read “physics has a problem” as in like “here’s a math problem to solve.”

Couldn’t we have a good old fashioned butlerian jihad?

It’s got some good hooks too because once you watch it with someone you can run around saying “Shaka, when the walls fell,” and they will feel like they are now in on the joke.

I have shown this to people as their first. It works. It’s a highly unusual story so some people may or may not “get it” but there isn’t any issue with it being a first entree into the franchise.

It looks like you just heard a swipe at Christianity out of the blue and took offense to it, but there is actually a significant amount of context here. OP’s conflict is framed very much as a Christian struggle between “being a spiritual person” according to the bible and “lusting after women.”

I don’t think we need more information from OP to label Christianity’s attitudes toward sex and even women generally, and absolutely sex workers, as toxic. You don’t have to agree with that but it’s not exactly out of the blue.

Yeeeeee feudalism!!!!!

You also cannot replace it with a third party. So I guess we’re just fucked?

Fair enough I guess

Funnily enough I think now they sell a “hard” version that’s something like 1.5% so you can actually go have that fun! They’re just doing it legally now, with all proper labeling and licensing.

You “paraphrased” what you said to be more reasonable than what you actually said, and “paraphrased” what I said to be less reasonable than what I actually said. Gee, neat trick.

Gaslighting rejected. This is a personal attack:

your point of view is a war on drugs bullshit take that only started to give a shit about the addiction crisis once vice and youtube dummies starting making fentanyl a buzzword.

You said my point of view is just parroting social media influencers. Where in this is any discussion of ideas? You’re calling me a thoughtless buzzword regurgitator. What the fuck do you know? This was totally unnecessary and uncalled for.

Your little lecture here is just you trying to make it to the door with your dignity after you damn well know you overstepped and behaved like an asshole. This is the refuge of someone who cannot be accountable for their own behavior, and I have no ideas to exchange with a child like that, who slings barbs and then lectures about ideas. You have your orders and I expect you to carry them out.

Yeah. I think it would be more surprising if they all did things the same way.

He said it was a “failed experiment.”

That does indeed make it sound pretty pointless.

“This is a failed experiment” does not mean “it’s an improvement but we should go further.”

I know everybody wants me to just get their point, and I do, but the words we choose also matter, and these were poor ones.

I like how you totally changed what you said, put it in quotes, and then did the exact same thing to me. This is a great example of a straw man: take what your interlocutor said, turn it into an extreme pantomime farce, and then bat it down. Feel better?
