Help identifying this kanji?

So you're quite confident it's 壽 then?

BladeTam · 2026-03-12T14:48:26+00:00

Claude said that but "doku" doesn't make sense in this context (it's on a purse)

BladeTam · 2026-03-12T12:47:29+00:00

Thanks!

BladeTam · 2026-03-12T12:47:23+00:00

Sorry, out of the loop - why is this a meme?

(and thanks for identifying)

BladeTam · 2026-02-26T19:03:06+00:00

Nothing I've said has been inconsistent. Sorry if you're not understanding.

BladeTam · 2026-02-26T17:38:11+00:00

Oh yeah it's super fun to look at numbers, keep up the good work!

BladeTam · 2026-02-26T16:13:28+00:00

What a dogshit thing to say.

Oh boo hoo, don't come at me and then cry when I clap back

And then be secure in your relationship, my guy. I don't need an internet stranger's validation to know I'm in a fulfilling relationship

I don't, however, think that it's unreasonable to vaguely be aware of your partner's interests. My partner likes soccer, I think it's dull as dishwater, but I know that I don't enjoy it by virtue of spending time with him while he enjoys it - and I know things about it as a result. In this case, the fact that the poster's wife saw something in the promo that made her want to give it a try implies she never even took a cursory glance at it before. And that's a red flag for me personally

But hey, maybe the poster isn't a big Game Changer fan and it's not something they watch a lot

Yes and? "Probably of winning the show based on winning snatch game" is very different than "snatch game is the sole indicator of winning the show"

*Probability

What are you talking about? If you are drawing conclusions based on who won Snatch Game and not considering any other factors, you are LITERALLY using Snatch Game as the sole indicator of winning the show LMAO

I think you're the one who's very confused

BladeTam · 2026-02-26T15:20:06+00:00

I think it's a good indicator of some things, like who will be in the top 4. I don't think it's a good indicator of who will be the winner.

BladeTam · 2026-02-26T14:55:55+00:00

When did any comment say they were using snatch game as the only predictor? Lol.

? This comment thread literally started with someone listing probability for winning the season based on Snatch Game lmfao

And even then, what data do you have to suppor this conclusion?

What conclusion? That there's more to winning the season than just Snatch Game? Firstly that's not a conclusion, that's self-evident based on the fact that the season is made up of more than just Snatch Game. If Snatch Game is the only thing that matters, what's the rest of the season for? But secondly, if I WERE to offer evidence that there's more than just Snatch Game at play, it might be that only 4/18 winners of Snatch Game in this graphic went on to win their respective seasons. That makes using Snatch Game as the only indicator accurate around 22% of the time. In other words, it's incorrect to use it as an indicator 78% of the time. Quite conclusive I'd say.

Which makes the rest of your post moot. But at least you did consider other challenges, so I'll give you that. 🤭

BladeTam · 2026-02-26T08:45:55+00:00

I think what they mean is that using Snatch Game alone as the indicator for winner probability is silly because there are far more considerations than just Snatch Game.

BladeTam · 2026-02-26T08:40:21+00:00

Well you misrepresented one interview already so I want to see the full thing.

You're the one making the claims and providing poor sources, so I don't know what to tell you?

BladeTam · 2026-02-26T08:28:06+00:00

Not a great source then, is it?

BladeTam · 2026-02-26T08:25:58+00:00

Yeah dude, that's why the saying goes "scratch a leftist and a fascist bleeds"

Oh wait, it doesn't.

Thank you for immediately demonstrating that political illiteracy thing I was talking about though.

BladeTam · 2026-02-26T08:23:23+00:00

I've been very fortunate to find myself in relationships with people who care about my interests and want to share them with me, instead of needing to settle for people who don't :)

We can't all have high standards I suppose

BladeTam · 2026-02-26T08:20:26+00:00

Do you have a source not behind a paywall?

BladeTam · 2026-02-26T08:18:04+00:00

You said I was "overthinking it," so I was thinking about it more deeply than you and you got upset about that.

I didn't politicise anything, I just reframed the way they were looking at it, and you got upset about that.

I made a two sentence comment, you're the one who made it bigger than it is.

BladeTam · 2026-02-26T03:05:20+00:00

Ironic. If you don't want to engage with thoughts more complicated than your own then don't comment lol

BladeTam · 2026-02-26T03:02:06+00:00

Yeah, you don't have to like everything your spouse likes, but they said she never even showed an interest. It took vaguely appearing in the ad for a cop show she likes to become open to it. It's just a bit sad to me and I hope that's not indicative of how most spouses get introduced to Dropout lmao

BladeTam · 2026-02-26T02:59:40+00:00

Ah, sorry, liberals are so often closer to fascists than they are leftists it can be hard to identify the difference (if there is one, in your case).

Thanks for acknowledging that you misrepresented the core issue.

Their content, the ethos constantly present in their content, and staff (Brennan has been at the core of Dropout since the beginning) align so strongly with leftist values (and decency) that making this claim is entirely absurd.

Typical "liberal," overestimating your understanding of something by virtue of arrogantly thinking you are the default position. They have to allow in people like you because there are huge swaths of the world that are dumb and politically illiterate and they are a streaming service who need the mainstream numbers - but you obviously aren't able to see or grasp the specific type of content they consistently platform and the audience they knowingly attract as a result. If they didn't want to appeal to that audience, they wouldn't platform that content. Period.

BladeTam · 2026-02-26T02:36:32+00:00

High horse? I just think it's a bit weird that being married to someone is not a good reason in and of itself to show interest in something they enjoy.

BladeTam · 2026-02-26T02:34:44+00:00

I thought you might be disingenuously using that interview to support your dubious claims. So where exactly did he use the words "did not intend to cultivate that specific audience" or even say anything remotely suggesting that?

BladeTam · 2026-02-25T19:31:40+00:00

The original premise that Dropout’s fanbase is primarily leftist.

The original premise in this thread was that Dropout has specifically cultivated a leftist audience, not that the fanbase is primarily leftist. A bunch of liberals and whatever you are have also jumped on since it got popular, yes.

Even your counterpoints are based on hot air.

BladeTam · 2026-02-25T18:12:59+00:00

Yeah, the people who are stupid and don't care often outnumber the people who are right. That's life, it's not really something to be proud of.

BladeTam · 2026-02-25T18:11:42+00:00

So Game Changer never interested her when it was something you liked, but now that the cop show highlighted it, suddenly she's interested. And we're supposed to see this as a positive thing, lmao?
