You're talking toxic masculinity, he's talking about these children being inundated with propaganda via social media. Very few middle and high school students watched Fox news in the 00's whereas now it's being algorithmically jammed down their throats.

Social media is going to cause the fall of the USA and it's so fucking sad to watch. Social media needs to be scheduled as/like a drug.

For 99% of owners a panel van would be the better option, but their masculinity is tied to other people's perception of them, so they pay the small dick tax.

I rent a truck for the afternoon on the rare occasion I need one

It was really sad reading a post on Reddit yesterday where they were applauding the Republicans for moving $2 billion in benefits for veteran housing... How did they forget about the $22 billion that just got cut for veteran medical benefits?

I'm constantly reminded that Socrates was correct and that democracy has too many unqualified and uninformed voters and will give rise to demagogues.

Yup, like almost every modern amenity is from socialism. All capitalism has done for me lately is... Umm... What the fuck has capitalism done for me lately?

Yup, that golden age when we came back from the depression was because of socialist policies FDR put in place and the rich immediately began to vilify (note these rich clowns caused the depression).

Socialism isn't a boogyman, it's the reason anything is working at all.

There's just more and more of this lately. We give money to the govt, they fork it over to some company, they use money to make a product I have to pay for, again.

Sorry that's just fucking dumb. Don't bail companies out or give huge grants, make them compete for contracts and have the people own a portion to reduce cost to the US consumer. It's socialism, sure. But at least we'd come out ahead instead of getting hosed again.

This is why PC is and always will be better than a traditional console. "Oh the dev won't do this, good thing the modding scene already has a workaround."

This is why we need an actual progressive party instead of just two parties.

Nah, peak was 2005-6 when it was just college students. You could suddenly find the best parties like it was nothing, homework answers were exchanged openly, neither your parents or siblings could access and see what was going on. Farmville style games came about in 2009, which is when the decline became apparent to me.

The car definitely had some weird panel alignment after the crash, but that could've just been Tesla's legendary build quality.

The GOP cosplay as patriots to confuse small minded fools that striving for a better life is un-American. As if our founding fathers weren't looking for a better life.

You're looking at the map upside down.

As a liberal male from CA; she's just not likeable. She gives off the energy of that high strung person everyone's trying to avoid talking to at the cookout.

Then again Donald Trump gives off that creepy conspiracy theorist pedo vibe that you'd also avoid and the right loves him.
