^^Fair enough

There are certainly fringe cases of responsible intelligent teens finding their partners

I suppose the real topic for you Cat is what your background/family is which isnt a conversation for here lol. but you might've had a pretty healthy upbringing or are the most patient person on the planet to last in marriage that long

>The destruction of the family are stupid irresponsible teenagers who have kids in high school and get married as soon as they're 18
The other way around

And I'm happy for you being one of them. Just means you get to spend more time with wonderful peoolet

there's data on this. People that sleep around more tend to divorce at much higher rates

Most people that developed under the boomer parent revolution ended up fucked, and it isn't getting any better

I owe my parents everything and have an amazing dad...even if he's somewhat to the left of Karl Marx. 😦

lol

Agreed, Belial. "Open relationships" are toxic waste for long term marriages.

My wife and I have been 100% faithful since we started really dating in 1989.

And you've avoided lbd? :P

Anyway, we'll see how data comes in over time. but having spent time with many couples in many places of this country, it doesn't matter what sex the partners are but rather their stubbornness to make it work that really matters.

lbd?

lesbian bed death. my les couple friend joke about it

Huh, that's a new one on me

It would really help LGBT advocacy if there were fewer highly visible weirdos and more visible people like Rubin, Thiel, Paglia, and Murray. No tattoos, piercings, dyed hair or outlandish dress. Just articulate professionals. Lots of such people exist of course, but they're not out front. The weirdos are.

oh yeah? Might warrant a google search, i'd do it poor justice to explain

Once again, we come to agreement Atkins

Hence why I've chosen to share. I hate activism but I do want those on the center-right to know rational professional GLBT peeps do exists. We just want to be permitted to live quietly like other folks. I carry a lot of labels proudly, but honestly i'd love for my GLBT labels to just vanish because no one cares.

You're explaining my aunt and uncle, Atkins. Professor of music and a cop. But they did come from a different generation having seen shit and really been through discrimination and pain. Maybe Cat knows about that.

But gen x and millenials I don't think know anything about that.

I went through some shit but I'm still here

I'm not owed anything because life isn't fair and I kept my head high

I think more than anything, kids don't realize that life isn't fair. They aren't owed anything. And shit happens. Really smelly shit.

Healthcare has taught me that 2yo's get cancer, drunk drivers kill random people, and occasionally you're just in the wrong place at the wrong time

I think that's indicitive of your generation as well as that upbringing, that ya understand that. I think the economy and having free/cheap shit being slowly introduced since foreign import (mostly from China in the 70s-80s) have made that "free" society a crutch

It was like a butterfly effect that looked great on paper but crippled us

And changed so much more than our dollar

I try to distance myself from a life of ignorant convenience.

GLBT ?

Yes, I find ignorant inconvenience provides a much better quality of life.

Like technology. My generation just uses it.
I won't use technology until I understand it at least at a basic level.

Anyone who wants to be ignorant but still sub to Tim, they're doing it wrong lol. Tim blackpills all his viewers.

How?

through frustration

Mostly through his second channel.

which is where all the good shit is at

I'm just waiting for the redpill to hit

lol

his the only one that is taking it so fucking slow

it's astonishing to watch

by 2020 he'll ditch the beanie for a maga hat

Maybe a MAGA beanie?

I still don't understand how he can unironically support Bernie

The funniest thing I've seen is cheap Chinese knockoff MAGA hats on amazon

MAGA hat knockoffs
From China

The irony

Think Tim would wear one if he was sent one?

XD

Maybe for an April Fool's day joke

eventually, when we get closer to 2020, he might

Nah, when 2020 rolls around you've gotta switch to the Keep America Great hats

nah... there's no way the wall will pass before then

so it still works 😏

That's the slogan for Trump's reelection campaign tho

Oof

Does anybody here watch James Allsup?

i watch him, dude obsesses over NowThis way too much

no, should I?

the "NowThis" propaganda is worrisome

oh yea its disturbing

ive seen some of his stuff. the bias is obvious but entertaining.

as long as people are honest, I don't have a problem with bias

unfortunately most politicians dont reveal their biases

ahhh... I've seen a lot of recent videos of him

they have been recommended to me 🤔

is anyone else feeling that his videos are starting to get boring?

I think the problem is the content gets kinda boring after a while

I dunno about him specifically

but a lot of youtubers that "cashed in" on the anti-feminism found out that they didn't branch out

and the content became more of the same

meanwhile people like Sargon that branched into discussing politics and policies, grew and won the audience from these kind of channels

you wanna see a youtuber that really lost it. benjamin boyce

once everyone stopped caring about evergreen state..

dunno who he is

but he's under 20k subs

think thats the point

lol

well, if I wanted to give examples of "youtubers that lost it" I would probably pick relevant ones

it's not like there's a lack of examples

most youtubers don't survive the test of time anyway

boyce was relevant about a year and a half ago, cuz he actually went to evergreen. real boots on the ground

youtubers lose their mind, but twitch streamers gain ligma

I think he interviewed Emily a while ago.

Aw, man, isn't that the disease that got passed around at Sawcon?

Nah, its trasmitted only by members of the sugondeez tribe

Is it irony that Republicans are red?
Because in order to understand all meaning and sacrifices, you need to shallow the redpill to get out of your comfort zone while the bluepill is to keep you in the safest place, but it's just a simulation presented by Media.

Republicans are red because they both begin with "r"

Nah, it all started around the 2000 election. The Republicans had been calling the democrats socialist for some time so the media decided it would be convenient to use the color of socialism to mark the Republicans ("ha! who's the socialists now!"). Hence America is the only country where the right is labeled in red and the left in blue.

But a number of TV anchors at the time said the reason was literally that the party and the color begin with the same color.

@pratel that didn't start in 2000. Really? Am I that ignorant that I don't know?

The colors differed by the station. I think 2000 was when every newspaper and TV station managed to decide to use red for Republicans and blue for Democrats. It was also around the time we got websites like "redstate" or "bluestate"

It might have been earlier, but I've seen 2000 as the point when it really standardized.

Ah I thought I sent a link https://www.theverge.com/2012/11/6/3609534/republicans-red-democrats-blue-why-election

My phone connection must be acting up

Recently James Allsup has been making some vague allusions to anti-semitism that are a bit concerning. He won't outright say it, but he'll find some connection to "the Jews" and then just be like "really makes you think, huh? The Jews are involved... Very interesting."

It feels kinda disingenuous.
Like dude if you hate the Jews at least say it.
Don't be all vague about it. Aren't you the one who's always so cocky and up front about your beliefs

Allsup is far from the best channel, frankly
