Kayfabe is brain rotting.
As is this stuff.

The only plus point at this point is that those much despised white collar skills (not not Zuckerberg), but you worked in cyber security skittles - that is a job that holds society together.

And that in general leads to enough sanity requiring self control and discipline that this much collateral damage does not ever work should start to register except with people who too daft to get the limits of trial and error rounded out with pioneer gumption or a can do attitude or some such something.

China, Trump, Russia, the ME and tech oligarchs and all other jerks .

When will this hell end enough to at least permit survival?

The thing is Skittles what these guys want is for women like us to learn what we already knew over and over till it is more explicitly registered so they can loot and burn using stupidity, hypocrisy and greed at the top while blaming the people least responsible for these parasitic machines far from homeostasis.

Well recycling means its time for fundies and assholes and meninists to pony up with their sycophants.

Cheap laughs and lame Martha’s Vineyard stunts aside, it is not as if people are so daft you can pervert their meaning by forcing inane contexts.
I don’t envy EarlG’s job in managing this big tent with ai and botnets etc.

3. That the audience responds as if this troll is doing anything but jeering and crowing is depressing.

As the nausea rises and my skin crawls, there are people in the audience laughing and clapping.

I just don't f-ing get it. Nate White, speaking on behalf of his fellow brits, also speaks for me.

...while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever.

I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever.

And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.

But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.

And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface.

Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront.

Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul.

I know that he recited Nate White again at some point and I posted both videos, I was that impressed!

10. White's description remains the best I've ever read/heard.

The Hobbledehoy published it in 2019.

I don't think anything else has even come close in the 6 years since.

If like me you assume you are toast any which way unless cats from another planet adopt you it is easier, but the seesaw of one-upman ship that is a part of a normal life wears down non-hogs as more and more of one’s space or time are taken away every day and finally when you know how to respond you are older, have lost 15 years, have new duties, no relief in sight (because that is just how life and real science are) and witness these wearying tribal wars.

JD Vance was correct to attack Catladies. He is stupid but he knows where his bread is buttered so to speak.
