🤷🏻 We’re still fundamentally irrational animals. Our powers of reason are limited, and our quirks are easily manipulated.

I think this has a LOT to do with how susceptible a person is to reason that goes against their existing beliefs. I also turned away from the conservative rhetoric in my early twenties. I wasn’t really invested in any group, just talking with a few dudes on a gun forum. I didn’t have a lot to lose in terms of social investment. But for rural people, going against the right wing narrative could mean being isolated from their whole physical community.

One of them was “how’s life in the fast lane?” Colloquial and open ended, so the other person can go whatever direction they feel like with it.
Yep. And now we have little old ladies, who should’ve had their license yanked years ago, driving 4 ton trucks to get groceries.
Yeah. I got over my hangups about small talk when I started working for a well-known people person with a big, room-filling personality. Watching him “work” several people a day, I realized he was just on autopilot, repeating the same lines over and over like an NPC. I realized, “shit, I can do that.”

8·4 天前What the hell are you taking about? They got a promise of a promise from well-established liars (i.e. nothing), and undid a little of the damage incurred to get that worthless promise. There’s no interpretation of this where Dems came out ahead. We’d have been better off if they chickened out from the start.
