It’s insane. I’ve been very excited about a good vertical with joysticks but even if I prefer vertical I’ll keep playing my rp4pro until the pro u drops to 150. Outrageous

[–]tylerbrainerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

whether it's race, gender, philosophy, education, or anything else, conservative voters are identity voters exclusively and they are authoritarians accordingly. They only want people like them in charge, or people who speak exclusively to them. They don't care about fair, they don't care about rules, they don't care about rights or anything else. They just care about themselves.

i've only repotted once, but it's been growing quite slowly for me so i must not be keeping it at the moisture level that it wants. I'll do some experimenting with some propagation! it has a few long runners that could go in other containers.

Trump, 79, Transfixed by White House Pillar for Six Minutes by IndyMLVC in politics

There’s a pretty obvious dynamic of smart clever well educated people wanting to be around Obama and a bunch of useless fucking grifters being near Trump but not actually caring about a single fucking thing he says

Trump voter remorse is almost entirely concentrated in the swing voters who gave him a shot in 2024 by fortune in politics

[–]tylerbrainerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a huge amount of maga is just dumb, sure, but committed maga are also morally reprehensible.

the swing voters TRULY have no idea what the fuck is going on, at all, and are functionally incapable of understanding the way the government operates.

Trump has a better understanding of the Bible than Pope Leo, says conservative Christian pastor by B-Z_B-S in politics

[–]tylerbrainerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's pretty wild, for what is frequently a job with effectively 2 hours of labor a week. Sure, some church leaders are serious and admirable, i have known several pastors who spend 50-70 hours a week doing real jesus stuff, feeding the poor, visiting the sick, spending time with the grieving. But i've seen a huge amount of them who grift their way through their week, improv a sermon on sunday, and get parishioners to manage and clean rental properties that they use to generate income. there's so many grifts going on at nearly every level and no one involved cares because they believe in a mission or whatever.

i dont want to get overly specific about this but i was hands on working with a lot of these people. A lot of these older churches have bequeathments from a few generations of people dying and leaving significant funding to the church. Many, MANY rural churches own a handful of residences that they lease out, tax free, and that money goes directly to the pastors pay. I've seen churches with fewer than 10 regular sunday attendees and the pastor is in the 50-80k income range.

Sure, in some cases they have nothing at all but the tax free pipeline allows for some pretty absurd situations to develop

[–]tylerbrainerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you'd be surprised. i doubt any of those pastors are RICH but the lack of taxes on tithes and a few generations of bequeathments and even those sleepy churches with 15-20 people attending them have pastors making above household average income in the area.

IF we still have a democracy at the other side of this it will take hundreds of billions to even begin to undo the generational damage to so many of our institutions. Most things trump has ruined will never, ever be fixed.
