But that doesn’t make for good drama
More genuinely, I appreciate your response. We need more of that type of reasonableness. Drama makes for good TV (I guess) but not for a good life or friendships

That bit was regarding why they wouldn’t do the same thing regarding one’s father
Personally I think it’d be a power move to say I fucked you’re dad
The whatever reason bring that they’d have played themselves because homophobia.
I imagine the potency of yo mama jokes that focus on banging her, as opposed to accentuating how ugly she is, comes from the discomfort of sexualizing someone that you want to not have sexualized given your intimacy with her. Reframing your mom as a sexual being rewrites the experience of affection with her, for example.
The ugliness piece devalues someone precious to you.
I also thinks it’s just a rules of the game that people decide on and then forget. Participating in a game about who will gets upset, everyone implicitly agrees that this is something they can fall prey to having a reaction about. Sort of social game theory
The correct answer, as they say, is always in the comments
This is our innate state, IMO. We are social, creative people. The impulse to help and participate comes first and then is warped by our societal structure where everything gets monetized. I follow the Skyrim mod scene just for that hit of seeing this generosity at play
Wow, yeah that headline gave me that nausea of despair feeling
I had to look up what gyro aiming is. FYI for others: https://www.33rdsquare.com/what-does-gyro-aiming-mean-an-in-depth-look-at-the-next-evolution-in-gaming-controls/
Man I hope “unlived” only gets used ironically, if not also with a decent dose of snark
Yup. Made some points I hadn’t considered yet, like a few companies locking in a monopoly
Ah, missed the part about it being the dark side. Just saw the pretty image
How representative is this to what it would like to the human eye?
Dead Space (remastered, I guess?). Only played a demo version that had 5 minutes of play, way back in the aughts, and have been meaning to try it since.
Oh, nothing about our culture would permit someone to do that. I don’t expect him to. It’s just a nice fantasy
How can they vote for him if he’s not on the ballot?
Not only switch candidates, but have Biden have the humility to back that person. Do it in the name of Democracy, you know: this election is too important and I realize we need a stronger candidate than I can be. That would sell well, and that’s what’s needed for better or worse: a good narrative
As many others are commenting that’s, unfortunately, not the concern here. It’s theater, and he bombed and his lapses will be broadcast ad nauseum to drive that impression to the impressionable
Or he could step down with dignity and back his replacement candidate. Seems like that would help sway voters in the Democrats favor
As far as effort? You’re right
You start learning it in day care depending on the region
I really appreciate this take. In the pursuit of better language, some groups also hamper their own ability to communicate - not a slam against the attempt, but between that and the other side diluting the group’s words, it’s an uphill fight
