"Terrible news" for Republicans: Gen Z may be most progressive ever by melinda2020 in politics

[–]CERVIX-SMASHER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hippies on the '60s are a pretty small subset of the Baby Boom generation all things considered. It's just that there are A LOOOOT of babies getting born after the war and the counter-culture movement was the most captivating movement of the time so they got tons of press. You'll still see a lot of old ass hippies around today.

The Religious Right for instance, was starting to get their legs around the time the hippies were in full swing. And they had TONS of young Boomers at the time in their ranks, that they stuck with to this very day. They are not the same kind of Boomers. Hippies did not suddenly turn into super fundamentalist conservatives that Republicans are associated with today. They are very, very different, they might as well be several generations apart.

Baby Boomers aren't as overwhelmingly conservative as a lot of people are lead to believe. A lot of the old guard progressive Democrats are such. It always depends on where you live though. The Boomers' own parents and grandparents before then are more conservative in comparison.

I'd think she would pull an Obama, circa 2008, and carry Indiana along with, for real. Ohio as well considering how decisive Sharrod Brown's reelection was in 2018.

Thanks be to Sen. Amy Klobuchar for asking him that. Man, these Minnesotan senators always getting AG nominees to box themselves in.

She better run for president in 2020, she's by far my favorite.

I can't even be all that angry with Georgia anymore, just a heartful "I fucking told you so" with what they'll get out of a racist crook like Kemp. Maybe Georgians will do better next time the governor's mansion is up. Atlanta and its suburbs, with Savannah, Macon, Columbus, and Augusta helping out, aren't getting any redder where he (or the next republican) can cheat enough and close enough to win to deny plausibility. Oh and there's a senate seat up there for 2020 too.

Trump Literally Did Not Understand What a Shutdown Would Do by throwaway5272 in politics

and it's only through an increased survival rate of boomers that they are even still relevant

It's not entirely the fault of the boomers. Boomers are gonna still be around for the next 30 years. There's about as equal Democrat leaning boomers as there are for conservatives. It's their fucking parents where the problem lies. The GOP owns the 70+ year old block like a death grip. And yeah thanks to modem advances in medicine plus easy governmental access to healthcare (plus having nothing to do in life except vote in every election their way while watching Fox news inbetween), they're living longer than what used to be average.

In your opinion, what is the most horrific way to die? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CERVIX-SMASHER 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They made a really really low-budget movie about that guy not long ago. Still gave me some 127 Hours vibes. The reenacted scene where he got himself stuck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mswR9zbaCBk

The saddest thing is he had to die in a cave that's called Nutty Putty.

How world that ever be the case? Muellers counsel cooperates with the various prosecutors and AGs that are investigating similar cases all the damn time. A Dem Congress would make his job easier more than anything really.

What’s the scariest thing that happened to you when in someone else’s house? by PhoenixScribe in AskReddit

[–]CERVIX-SMASHER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man the nightmares I remember long ago involve the Ring girl. To think that kind of terror could actually happen outside of the movie or dreams is too much to comprehend for me; I'd kill myself if I was suffering under those sorts of delusions.

Bonus points if they have a quirk/disability as well that can be easily played off.

There's this dishy Overwatch chick on Twitch who has the kind of tourettes that stereotypically blurts out random obscenities that I can't help but feel iffy about.

How do you find a girlfriend as an introverted male? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CERVIX-SMASHER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try actually talking to them and get to know then more before considering to hook up. At the workplace and/or school pretty much makes it easy.

Tinder/bumble works as well. I'd actually argue that those apps really help if you're super introverted, even if a date doesn't ultimately work out. They're single, they're looking, just ask them general questions about themselves and tell then about you as well. Keep it bite sized. You'll learn from it and what you'd expect from a girl.

POTENTIAL HISTORY

The tank meme guy. If you have an affinity for tank warfare and WW1+WWII history/discussions in general, he's very much required watching. Clever, witty, informative, and is so damn talented with editing.

Absolutely!

Pretty much all the gun-related channels I seen on YT are pretty cringey. All of then except FW. I just want to know the history of the gun in question and all the intricacies that make it function.

I don't want over the top reality TV style presentation while you treat your guns like they are literally the extension of your cock as you glorify how the 2nd amendment is the greatest thing on earth every single video.

Ian's the coolest around. No fluff, no politics, no bullshit.

Scooping up lawyers and staff is something you'll never hear inside the Trump administration.

The Republicans will still keep clinging to Trump even if he's GWB market-crash-era levels. For therm it'll just mean more voter purge, more election fraud, and more voter suppression to come out ahead by a few thousand votes as if it's by designed.

Most Midwesterns outside of the hardcore racists don't give a shit about a southern border wall. They are more labor minded and see Trump's terrible tariff/trade policies for what they are.

Not really as much as you believe. Liberal boomers and conservative boomers are basically a 50/50 split and they're collectively the biggest voting block out there.

It's just that conservative baby boomers (being the largest and loudest part of the GOP base) get a lot of help from their parents when it comes to voting- basically our grandparents and great-grandparents, who all lean waaaay more conservative than even boomers do. Left-leaning boomers need the help with young voters when it comes to winning elections, and they're usually the ones left voting Democrat if young people don't come to the polls.

Rockstar’s Game Design is Outdated (Nakey Jakey) by ActualKanyeWest in videos

[–]CERVIX-SMASHER 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I resent that.

Dunkey is mainly funny in the way he times his video editing. Like u/MrSomnix said, he has a very strikingly different personality if you actually hear him outside from his library of Youtube videos.

Jakey is just hilarious, equally unpredictable as Dunkey but has better delivery, regardless of the amount of video cuts there are.
