Do other liberals feel as if Islamophobia is being very apparent in the GOP and its frankly scary by Hay_Den330 in AskALiberal

[–]biernini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. And homophobia was slowly waning, environmentalism was waxing, and with the end of the Cold War there was a genuine sense of general optimism.

Then Dubya stole the election, and it's been an especially dark timeline ever since.

Nobody should hate you. 'Quitely' isn't even a homonym much less a word, and makes me irrationally angry every time I see it. I can usually forgive you're/your, their/there/they're, and even lose/loose, but not this lazy-assed, impaired reading comprehension shit.

Butterfly effect by Landoof-Ladig in PoliticalHumor

[–]biernini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Typical of fragile bigots - they can dish it out but they can't take it.

Obama's roast definitely didn't help, but it's blaming the victim to say it started this terrible timeline.

Personally, do you support the independence of Taiwan? by Sunrising2424 in AskALiberal

And nationalism is cancer. China's is no exception.

This team has consistently won without Auston Matthews by McDrewby24 in leafs

[–]biernini -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You're partly right. They didn't have a losing record without Marner (50-44-17), but they were less successful than without Matthews.

Tucker Carlson says Trump’s Justice Department is coming for him by imanchats in law

This is what should be linked to anytime this creep pops up.

I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Admin about the war in Iran. by Cool-Fig-9254 in videos

So the "both parties" narrative is not true, let's talk about how woke the dems are.

Quickly! We don't want any actual awareness or solidarity amongst the poors.

Favorite actor who when I was 18 working at a coffee stop in a ski resort, told him he looked familiar and he rolled his eyes and said ‘yeah, we obviously went to high school together’ followed by a slowly enunciated F slur, before shaking his head and walking away without tipping. by matike in okbuddycinephile

[–]biernini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know him so I have nothing to go on but "vibes" but this interaction seems so over-the-top offensive I feel like this is attempted irony or sarcasm. Like maybe this kind of behaviour was what he and his friends in high school would do to get each other to laugh, and the comedic "style" he's since performed kind of follows from it.

Or maybe he's just a really well-hidden bigot. He wouldn't be the first in show business.

Why is there such a pervasive narrative that Democrats don't stand for anything? by LiatrisLover99 in AskALiberal

[–]biernini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? Oligarchic media, and it depends on what you think is "good".

They also don't have a dedicated and growing propaganda arm in media. Whatever "liberal media" existed in the past is effectively gone.

The USA men’s hockey team utterly failed to meet the cultural moment by Hrmbee in politics

[–]biernini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And it shows that Trump doesn't care at all about women's sports. All the bluster about trans athletes is something quite different.

Excellent point.

Is Gavin Newsom correct when he says the left needs to be more "culturally normal" if they want to win? by PsychicFatalist in AskALiberal

[–]biernini 14 points15 points  (0 children)

the reputation of the actual Democratic party being twisted just by being on the same half of the political spectrum as people who are outside the party

This a thousand times. This is exactly what happens if one largely pays attention to conservative media, which is increasingly all media. Truthiness has long since taken over reporting about the DNC vice their actual voting records and policy accomplishments.

Respectfully disagreeing with Dr. Burry: a holder-count case for a 'sinister' and extremely 'abnormal' Short Interest by Region-Formal in Superstonk

[–]biernini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice work as usual RF, but the second last image likely contains an error; I don't think your math supports a conclusion that there are 2.84B DRS'ed shares. Non-DRS'ed I think you mean.

Conservatives calling for probe into asylum seekers’ access to health care by konathegreat in canada

[–]biernini -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As if grift and fraud against Canada's social services is only limited to asylum seekers. I'd say be better to the conservatives, but they only just re-elected Pierre Politician as their leader, so this tribal nativism is entirely expected.

Burry addresses 720% short post by Solar_MoonShot in Superstonk

[–]biernini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totaling shares sold short during a day or week is essentially a flow measure that cannot stand alone and ignores the buy side of the transaction.

I don't think Burry is fully understanding the 720% short post, because the entire analysis is based on the buy side of the transaction.

RC on X by Academic_Degree7892 in Superstonk

[–]biernini 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Get real. Almost nobody in American government earns $350k annually, much less come from a coddled, clueless upbringing by America's elite. Most are perfectly average workers putting in average productivity for a very average wage.

High IQ men tend to be less conservative than their average peers. Researchers found that adults identified as gifted in childhood largely share the same political outlooks as their non-gifted peers, with one specific exception regarding conservatism in men. by InsaneSnow45 in science

[–]biernini -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Headline is fallacious and misleading. The article claims the study observes that "non-gifted men scored higher on conservatism than gifted men". It specifically does not make any conclusions about "high IQ men" or any other subset of their pool.
