  • I don’t think that’s true. If Talarico makes the case that Paxton and Trump are the kind of people Jesus would have whipped out of the temple, which is a pretty succinct summary of his whole campaign imo, then there are definitely people in Texas who would care about that. That simple fact is the entire reason Paxton has categorically refused a debate thus far. It’s also the reason Talarico’s interview with Kimmel aired on YouTube instead of NBC (or whatever dumb network Kimmel’s show is on).


  • I don’t think it matters if it’s safe in the short term to walk around with stickers like that. It’s important though, even if safety is your primary goal.

    Nazi ideology is unpopular. It thrives only by making those opposed to it think and act as if it is widely accepted. If perceived acceptance allows Nazis to gain more power then you will be vastly more unsafe than you are now.

    Therefore, if safety is your primary goal then stopping Nazis is one of the most important things you can work towards. It is more important for others to see your resistance than it is to be safe in the short term.













  • What do they think happens at school?

    A lot of social interaction. Personally, I don’t give a shit what kind of math or whatever other subject my kids are learning unless they want my help with it. The school part of the question is largely irrelevant. That just happens to be where you were all day. It’s a conversation starter akin to “how was your day?”


  • I tend to watch comedies, action, and sci-fi / fantasy the most. I like unpredictability so anything that is formulaic probably won’t appeal to me, but I’m unfamiliar enough with anime that I’m not sure the tropes of that particular genre would be recognizable to me.

    The last anime I was recommended was Demon Slayer. I might have enjoyed it if I kept with it but I found the first few episodes boring and overly childish, as if young teenagers and older children were the target audience.


  • I like to think I’m pretty open minded, especially when it comes to media preferences. I’ve found something I enjoy in pretty much every genre there is, whether that was video games, movies, TV shows, music, books, etc. but I have never seen an anime that I could stand to watch for more than a couple of episodes. Maybe I haven’t gotten far enough in to get hooked or maybe I’ve just been recommended some shows that don’t fit my tastes but I’m pretty confident it’s just not my thing.

    That’s perfectly fine of course. I don’t care if people enjoy different things than me. I just find it odd that with most other things I can at least see the appeal even if it isn’t something I enjoy, but with anime I don’t at all. It’s an outlier in that respect.
