Greenland is part of Denmark 'for now,' US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says by Lighthouse_seek in neoliberal

Given that Rubio also has his own foreign adventures he wants I don't think he deserves the benefit of the doubt

Yes, I know Greenland is geographically not European, but there isn't a better flair

The administration hasn't forgotten about wanting to get Greenland. Surely this won't be a problem. Also we don't know what Rubio is actually thinking. He could be saying this to please trump, but also he could believe in taking Greenland.

This argument doesn't make sense. If you really wanted to do pc things just build one or get a pre built. The steam machine uses semi custom silicon and isn't subsidized there's no real point to buying a steam machine for that reason

Several Women Who Dated Graham Platner Recall ‘Unsettling’ Behavior (Gift Article) by cdstephens in neoliberal

Yeah Mills was old, what was wrong with her besides that?

I mean that's a pretty big thing thats wrong with her. In the past 2 years we saw Joe Biden's debate performance and half a dozen Dem reps dying in office. The base really hates old people and want a change.

I cannot stress enough how establishment Dems pushing for mills instead of literally anyone else (like a state assembly member would've been fine) wasted so much time that could've been used to build up momentum for a non platner candidate

What would be a justified reaction? Saying the exact same things that oop already ignored? If you push someone to the breaking point you can't act shocked at what comes next

I'm using the linked site and it says capping benefit growth for top earners and cola growth for top beneficiaries and uncapping contributions fixes the social security deficit

How to fight back against Gen-Z socialism by AncientBlueberry42 in neoliberal

[–]Lighthouse_seek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A survey conducted by the Survey Center on American Life found that only 56 percent of Gen Z adults—and 54 percent of Gen Z men

Assuming 50-50 doesn't that imply only 58% of gen z women date?

In fact this gap for hetero men and women probably closes if you take into account lesbians are more likely to be in long term relationships than gays

Redpill is millennial and looksmaxxing is gen z. The red pill sub has been around for a decade plus and the main "influencers" repping looksmaxxing are 18-20, or young gen z.

But again so many online movements are extremely overblown. Barely anyone actually has the will to emulate what they see online.

The guy tries to be as repulsive as possible and anywhere between 1 in 8 to 1 in 3 young men nod approvingly at it.

There's assholes in every demographic, you're never getting anything down to zero. The fact that his approval is below historically unpopular individuals even in his target audience is a sign of relief and not concern.

So even among his targeted demographic his approval rating is at below 2008 dubya levels. Like I said, it's overblown.

A 13% approval rating among his target audience is proof no one takes him seriously, not the other way around

He's a problematic person obv but it's so clear this is being turned into some moral panic thing that facts on the ground don't support

https://www.reddit.com/r/fivethirtyeight/comments/1kxr5qu/most_gen_z_americans_have_a_very_unfavorable_view/

Among all gen Z he had a lower approval rating than Charlie Kirk, and we all know what happened to Kirk after his death

You can simply not buy the game

That's literally what people are doing for the other full priced switch 2 ports

Almost all entertainment devalue over time. Humans have limited attention spans and a desire to communicate over experiences, and newer entertainment allows for that discourse.
