    I’ve always wanted a Reverend, still kinda want that Greg Koch Reverend with the p90s and bigsby.

    i think it is fair to say that in the game of chicken where we see how far they'll stick that thing up there when their feelings keep getting hurt, team feather duster wins

    You’re thinking of hatred.

    Easy to have a similar sketch idea but here’s Trevor with the monkey thing first, RIP

    Giving money to private charity is great. Giving money to private charity and working against government involvement in societal wellbeing is moral whitewashing. Same as schools - there’s nothing wrong with private schools but they absolutely cannot accomplish what the public schools do and giving money to private schools while rooting for the dismantling of public education does not make you pro education.

    Joe Biden is, for a politician, about as likable as it gets. Describing this as not much more complicated than his unlikability papers over that any other person filling the role of Democratic Leader would and will be made to be at least as unlikeable. It’s not a function of how unlikeable the person is.

    I think I’m likely missing some or much of your point, but I think a lot of what has driven the change in Americans is leveraging the feeling of unfairness. It’s not about good or bad, it’s about fair and unfair. Pandering messaging about what you deserve and what others do not deserve - it has won. People who by any right should be happy and secure in their lot, who loudly claim to value kindness generosity mercy goodness love etc, tell them that other folks are getting a free ride and they lose all perspective. Democrats suggesting that others have had disadvantages? They’re saying that *you* don’t deserve what you have. It’s all out the window. Just decades of that, all the goodness is gone and replaced with hate and bitterness that they don’t even recognize.

    What is abundantly clear is that the majority of people who say this, even the ones who believe it, are wrong. It is pure cognitive dissonance.

    I mean yeah, with the caveat that I’m constantly doing the “am I taking crazy pills?” sanity check that I myself am not just doing the same thing on the other side (which is of course what the rebuttal would be) I also agree that it is evil and stupidity. I don’t think that they are all necessarily evil or stupid at their core, but the only way I can understand them is as people who have been broken and corrupted by the steady diet of hate that they have spent decades consuming. And I can at least try and empathize if I understand that as what they have become rather than what they were born to be.

    I am going to try and be less bothered. Despite things I have said previously, I don’t actually think most Americans are bad people. I am incredibly discouraged by how seemingly decent and even well educated people can fall for such incredible foolishness. I can’t see a way towards understanding stuff like trans or bathroom hysteria or the notion of putting RFK in charge of the FDA or letting defense contractors run government efficiency or any of the nakedly corrupt and hateful positions as anything but that - foolishness in the cases it isn’t actually evil. But I don’t actually think most Americans are evil. If you religious folks look at conservative politics and see a reflection of Galatians 5:22, I’ll try and empathize with that being the world that you see and understand that that’s where you’re coming from. I don’t get it, but whatever - it is unequivocally what won this round so I hope you all are correct.

    Oh badass, it has split shaft tuners based on this picture from Reddit. Not my favorite functionally (aesthetically cool, functionally it seems like just slightly more of a pain in the ass) but for a guitar I will hand to my child, no pointy string ends = perfect. This is why she mostly plays around with my 72 thinline if she wants to touch daddy’s guitars

    Just sent an email to my Sweetwater rep asking about the kitty strats

    past the service economy job shifts, I assume we've talked about growing up on hardcore porn, etc - most of their male role models have been poisoned and are raising them on the same kinds of grievances that have caused our moral failure as a nation

    this is for goddamn sure - I don't understand the kids well enough but it would be interesting to really understand comparatively the difference between the way that the boomers can't distinguish things they see on the internet from real and the way that genz simply exists in the internet

    yeah I really don't think it's the female candidate thing. it's that half of the country has been so thoroughly poisoned. the post that your takeaway shouldn't be that half of the country is racist/mysoginist/sexist/fascist/whatever is also kinda true - it's not so much that they are that, it's that they now exist in a parallel reality with completely different facts about what even is, and what it means to be a decent person well certainly not your wife
