If Elon said that about epstien that means he knew the entire time and chose not to say anything

self-destruction

Anger isn't an emotion - it's alpha male psychology, or something? Honestly I lost track while laughing as two of the worst people on Earth started going at each other like a pair of angry cats.

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 2 points 6 hours ago

I like you.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

How is anger not an emotion?

[–] zqps@sh.itjust.works 13 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

That was sarcasm.

You know how parts of the manosohere like to claim men are the voice of reason incarnate and women shouldn't be trusted with any responsibility because they're too emotional?

Part of that facade is to act like anger isn't an emotion, because when they suppress "unmanly" emotions like sadness and fear, they tend to channel them into anger instead.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago

Well fuck, when you put it that way, I will not only upvote this, but change my previous down vote to an upvote as well, and then jerk off. That last part is unrelated to your explanation, just thought you'd like my schedule for the day, starting now.

Earlier today my wife sent me a link to an article about the Trump/Elon drama and compared it to our teenager's high school bullshit level feuds.

Pretty much hit the nail on the head.

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 1 points 6 hours ago

It's just awful.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 86 points 21 hours ago (6 children)

Nominate a woman that people actually want to be president and then maybe we can talk.

AOC, for example, is filling football stadiums in red states.

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

To be fair, AoC wasn't eligible yet until last October.

[–] knexcar@lemmy.world 0 points 4 hours ago

The problem with AOC though is her name sounds like an acronym, which makes her sound like an institution (like a super PAC). It’s a dumb thing to complain about but affects people’s first impressions if they aren’t obsessively researching candidates.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago

Oh ya know... It's not her turn. There's like 6 people you've never heard of ahead of her.

[–] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 13 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

And make sure they're not flagrantly carrying water for a genocidal ethnostate during the run up to the election. Preferably they will be sane and won't support that kind of thing at all. But this is America, we're currently being led by a dementia addled gameshow host. Sanity is sadly not a prerequisite for the job.

[–] zqps@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Though she was also pressured successfully into largely adopting talking points from zionist apologia. "Right to defend itself" and all that.

[–] throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works 11 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

Consecutive terms should be eliminated.

If there is no "incumbency advantage", there will be no excuses to "we cant hold a primary because we 'lose the advantage'" bullshit.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 20 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (2 children)

There's really no excuse here, incumbency or no.

They knew Clinton was unpopular because she first lost to Obama and they had to rig her primary against Sanders. Harris couldn't even beat out Tulsi Gabbard in a primary and the president demanding that she be crowned the candidate has evident dementia.

Say what you will about Donald (and I don't like him either), but he wasn't so weak that he had to forego the primaries)

Right. And to be clear, you can have insincere boring male candidates just the same. Look at old Biden (VP Biden is somewhat different). Or look at Tim Kaine. No authenticity. No charisma. No backbone.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

My car has no charisma but its got years of character.

[–] PetteriSkaffari@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I drive a Nissan Charisma, which has no personality whatsoever.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 1 points 6 hours ago

Gotta wait for a few years for the character to suddenly show up. LOL.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 120 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So the reason why they're so against women, gay, drag, trans was that they want to be the only drama queens around?

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 43 points 23 hours ago

You hit the nail on the head.

Projection is a requirement to be part of the GOP

[–] jyl@sopuli.xyz 96 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They reached the most sensible, logical conclusion: deport musk and impeach trump.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 44 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Fuck it. Impeach Elon, and deport trump as well, while we're at it. Deport them both to Afghanistan, since that wouldn't be cruel or anything, right? Just sending people wherever you feel like it.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

send them both to the moon

Didn't one of Trump's grand or great grandparent come here illegally? Sounds like he needs to visit El Salvador

[–] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 17 points 20 hours ago

His wife would be illegal by current ICE standards so her and her anchor baby Barron should be deported or sent to El Salvador.

“Imagine how much worse it would have been if it was women?”

(edit:)
— voters who choose GOP

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

~~Why do you choose to be a misogynistic dick when you could just shut your mouth?~~

Alright, Gotcha, and I appreciate your position

The written word is tricky, it loses nuance

I had to look up what TDS is and for others, it's short for "Trump Derangement Syndrome", an epithet MAGA put on people they don't like to insinuate that they fear Trump and his ilk.
