The problem with nihilism is that people usually only encounter it during trauma. Nihilism finds normies in trenches, hospital rooms, and funeral processions. That’s why it’s viewed as overwhelming horror and crushing emptiness.

But there is a secret nihilists know that makes all this look silly: It doesn’t mater that it doesn’t mater.

The idea of a trans dragon isn’t half as weird as dressing it in a Hooters uniform.

I love RDR2, but the combat was shit. You’re such a John Wick/ Max Pane badass that by the end of the game you’re only vulnerable in cut-scenes.

The worst part is that there is an excellent quick-draw mechanic that’s hidden away in a few side-missions.

Fuck yall calling drake a pdo.

This dude has been called a pedo in the Superbowl, the State of the Union, and the Gettysburg address. Let it go.

I once saw a guy steady himself with a “do not feed the animals” sign in order to reach across a fence to give an apple to a deer.

Everybody forgets this half of Dunning Kruger.

The MRA types think that men are owed affection, companionship, and love. And society must change (revert) to accommodate them. So in that since, “male loneliness” is a stalking horse for loss of status and a return to traditional gender rolls. The radicals in this movement just wanna go back farther. To the 50s! The seventeen fifties.

But even if your not a chud, individualism and alienation have created a circumstance where forming and maintaining human relationships isn’t valued or supported. And men suffer more because they lack the institutional support of feminism.

Women got Judith Butler to tell them that gender was something they owned and controlled. Men got Jordan Peterson to tell them that gender is a prison and if women don’t get back in their cells, we’re all doomed.

did someone say synthesis?

I tell people it’s like a cross between a croissant and a tortilla.

I didn’t consider the friction of integrating it into your existing process because I use a manual password manager. But who is saying you should replace a password manager with passkeys? It was always meant to be a parallel system.

Edit: I just wanted to add that people like you and I who have “solved” our credentials problems are a tiny minority. Passwords are shit. Just because we’ve grown accustomed to them doesn’t change that.

Passkeys are light years ahead of 2fA in user experience. Why do you dislike them?

Security based on devices is one of the positive innovations of smartphones and perhaps the only area where they’ve improved over the desktop experience.

It’s difficult to measure rape statistics across countries. But we know, that if guns were prophylactic to rape, the US should have a disproportionately low statistic. It does not.

And anybody who knows about rape knows that guns are impotent to stop the vast majority. That’s because a large portion of rape victims support and protect their attacker because it’s somebody they love.

But sure, in an 80s action move fantasy, a woman with a gun is safe I guess.

Foucault would like a word.

Remember, it’s not Thunberg’s argument that aggravates the reactionary. It’s her status to make the argument in public, and be listened to! It’s the degradation of having to listen to the ideas of a “little girl”, that’s the pebble in their shoe.

Rotting potatoes might just be the foulest odor on earth. Worse than rotting flesh.

I read once that an entire family in Eastern Europe was wiped out by potato fumes. First the mother descended into the root cellar and was overcome. Then each other member one at a time went looking to see where everyone had gone only to succumb each in turn.

That’s a prime rib roast and it’s beautiful. That’s closer to Med Rare than Blue.

Someone mashed it with a fork to get those red juices to the surface. (mioglobin, not blood) And that bright red color of the flesh is because it was just cut off the roast and is only just being exposed to oxygen.

Most Christian ideas about hell are from Dante and Milton laundered through loony toons. And in Milton’s version, Satan is the protagonist.

What’s up whit this Gadsden flag militia bullshit in left spaces after Trump?

Everybody thinks they are the French Resistance when it’s going to go down like the Branch Dividians. But maybe that’s too generous. Who are we going to arm? Undocumented people? Trans people? And they’re going to shoot who? The cops, ICE? what’s the plan General?

This is is patriarchy in real time. He’s attacking that guy’s masculinity as a public reminder that real men enforce gender norms even in the most intimate relationships. It’s preying on insecurity to control men to control women.

This kind of gender enforcement is pretty common for boys aged 4 until death. The trick of the true oppressor is to get you to surveil yourself.
