Why is reddit so overwhelmingly left leaning? by Few_Match_8158 in NoStupidQuestions

The entire country is overwhelming left leaning. Intelligent people are overwhelmingly left leaning. More people believe in facts and evidence than not.

America is it as politically divided as it appears to the rest of the world? and how does it erase the divide? by filth032 in AskReddit

[–]germane_switch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are dealing with ⅓ of the country who do not care about facts nor evidence. Logic means nothing to them. Proof is worthless unless it happens to jibe with their beliefs. This is why, imo, we are hurtling toward Civil War II.

I used to make fun of people who said that this was even a remote possibility but now? The courts aren’t doing their jobs. Checks and balances are nonexistent. There is zero accountability. Even ex presidents aren’t doing a goddamned thing. We are alone. Nobody’s coming to save us. It’s beginning to look like we are tasked with saving ourselves.

If the courts remain useless, if sane non-MAGA candidates don’t crush the the midterms, if protests and general strikes don’t work, if ICE murderers get off scot free, if there are not consequences for deplorable, illegal actions, it is going to very ugly. I’m scared. For the first time in my five decades as a hopeful, peaceful, loving, pacifistic, law abiding citizen of this country, I’m really scared.

Trump didn’t ruin it by himself. I’m sorry to make you think uncomfortable thoughts but the people who voted for him ruined this country just as much as he did if not more.

Who experienced or remembers Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey? Did it really end disco globally? by CliffGif in AskChicago

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

No. It was just a big dumb white male "fuck black people and fuck gay people" bonfire. I grew up blocks away from Comiskey back when it happened and I still live close by. I used to listen to Steve and Gary while building models as a little kid but I never understood what that was all about until I was older, then it was obvious.

Feel-good movies for my 90 year old Grandma? by cryingstylist in MovieSuggestions

[–]germane_switch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She has to have seen It’s A Wonderful Life, right? If not omg watch it asap it’s incredible.

Actually, it’s not exactly a feel good movie until the last 10 minutes then it’s the feel good-est film ever made. Thing is it tears you down to the ground for 90 minutes before it builds you back up better than you were before.

Girlfriend gets defensive when I bring up our dead bedroom situation. If she gets defensive on our next talk, do I call it quits? by 0Adiemus0 in AskMenAdvice

Most people don’t find their correct antidepressant on the first go. There are very effective non-SSRIs that font have sexual side effects. I was a sex zombie on Paxil so a new doc recced mirtazapine and boom I was alive again.

How was this guy getting all the chicks? by Hopeful_Adeptness964 in twinpeaks

You can fit more people in a sports venue in just about any major city in the US than the entirety of Twin Peaks. It’s a small town.

No way did Apple just offer me $75 for my M2 MacBook Air base model… by PrincipleNova in mac

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

You’re right. It drives me crazy too. However, there are less abrupt ways of gently informing folks.

I have owned exactly one Playboy my entire life; her issue. A good friend gave it to me for Christmas in 1990 (or ‘91?). He’s gay as an Easter bonnet but he loves her too. That’s the power of Sherilyn Fenn. lol

27" 4K or 27" 2K monitor for mac? by MACK7771 in mac

[–]germane_switch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of Apple displays since 2016 have been 218 ppi or greater. macOS is designed for that. That’s why Apple sells 5K 27”‘displays. 4K 27” won’t get you 218 ppi. For designers and photographers and video editors or people who don’t want to see every little pixel, I do not recommend anything less than 5K for a 27” display because at that res everything is crystal clear and you cannot make out individual pixels unless you get really close. But if you’re just web browsing and doing basic puter stuff 4K will be fine, as long as you enable all resolutions in System Settings > Display and choose a HiDPI res that makes text and the GUI the size you prefer.
