there's a lot to hold in contempt - apparently Musk is what happens when you train an AI on Turner Diaries, Dunning-Kruger, and Andrew Tate

but their management kept their jobs and salaries - presumably that was what was important to them.

A coalition has to benefit everyone, not just the middle, but the middle treats other votes in the coalition as an entitlement. If you say Trump is the threat to get votes but act as the lefties are (and act so), you shouldn't expect people to believe you (or think you have a principle).

History may not repeat but it definitely plays the same themes over and over.

If we value subject matter expertise, then why does it seem every political and sports show is people yelling and assuming (like me in failure mode) that the louder you make an argument, the more correct it is? Expertise takes time and effort and intelligence, and makes clear where it's absent.

they want freedom from consequence and use whatever is at hand to attain it - they hope that taking the mantle of "victim" will allow them to do what they want while shielding them from criticism and contempt. John Scalzi (about others): "They weren't the victims of circumstance, but its authors."

He didn't get much (any?) opposition; his candidacy was a direct consequence of Schumer attempting to manipulate the Dem Senate primary choices in ME. For people that claim (in funding requests and occasional words) that Trump is an existential threat, they act like lefties are the actual threat.

Feelings are information, and they're telling you that their feelings are hurt by bad language directed at them. It's like the enemy army telling you where all their ammo is stored, and if you have a positive EEG signal, the response is obvious.

never enough nap is my experience

I hope but people don't like acknowledging that what they did hurt their kids and CHD can't afford to admit that what they advocated hurt kids, so they have a common desperate need to fulfill. "Children's Health Defense: Defending the health of bacterial and viral children for...too damn long."

there's a more knowledgeable person upstream who has a different suggestion (porphyrin synthesis inhibitor fungicides?)

more like a teeny little tentacle rather than an iceberg - it actively wants to pull you under

I think the point is not to not be good in public, but not to be good in public to get social credit (and presumably, not do good in private where it can't help you). The problem is that if the sin is corporate, it can't be attacked individually, and so has to be done publicly.

"No plan survives contact with the enemy."

They call anything decent "virtue signaling" because they want others to believe that decency doesn't exist (and hence can't be expected of them) and that any expression of it is false. They want to reduce the social costs of evil so that they can do what they want without consequence.

maybe post the picture of Trump sleeping at MSG: "...after I wake up from my nap."

"congratulations, please fill out this 4000-entry survey for your health insurance. 3978. Have you ever had a repetitive stress injury?"

That would be easy and available and would kill the greens pretty well. I don't know if there's anything about the dead grass that would tell someone how it was killed - probably?

I've had a few strange dreams where I am trying to find some sort of reliable used car (like a Civic) and keep hunting around while driving other less reliable used cars that I'm not sure how I got.

to be fair, Trump and the GOP are good at stupid and cruel - they're two of their core competencies
