    • Washington (Democratic government): $16.28
    • California (Democratic government): $16.00
    • Nevada (divided government): $12.00
    • Idaho (Republican government): $7.25

    Now factor in the cost of living in a “safe” area in those states with those wages. In 2024, it’s not enough.

    I agree, clearly, the Democrats are the better option for anyone but the billionaire class. However, I agree more with OP: Democrats can do better and not be so corporatist neo-lib.



  • You’re down-voted quite a bit, but I agree, and I’ll die on this hill with you.

    I noticed the decline in quality and usefulness of his videos for me, personally. I was very disappointed at the path he took when Gamers Nexus called him out for shitty testing.

    In the grand scheme of things, there’re way worse people and companies in the world, and I don’t think he should be cancelled after that fiasco.

    The vitriol against LTT is beyond ridiculous, and from what I’ve seen, there’s no substance in the alleged sexual harassment. I’m open to any links showing otherwise, but I’ve seen precisely zilch that’s concrete.

    He’s had some horrible takes and I don’t watch a lot of his videos anymore. But he and his employees are not the SS.

    I hate this 2-party system, and I loathe the DNC and the neo-liberal elite. That said, the Republicans haven’t fielded a palatable candidate in my entire lifetime.

    Thus, like many Americans I’m forced to politically pinch my nose and vote for the geriatric, corporate-and-billionaire funded elite of the American “left” because the alternative after the dust settles after the primaries is unthinkable.

    The American citizenry is fucked, and I fear the only way out from under the boot-heel of the billionaire class is armed bloody revolution, of which I’m terrified of due to what typically comes next, historically.

    Orwell and Huxley were supposed to be warnings, not manuals for sociopathic murderous political cults. Then again, maybe things will turn out like Zardoz.





  • But of course you know this, so why exactly are you asking?

    No. I don’t. That’s why I’m asking.

    I thought incel was an abbreviation for an involuntary celibate person, male or female, who genuinely can’t have sex for a plethora of potential reasons. Since the word “involuntary” is part of the abbreviation, to me, that means the person who’s celibate can’t help it.

    For what it’s worth, I’m on the spectrum, and one aspect of my neuropathy is that I over-emphasize strict definitions of words etymologically and need to have strict meaning in communication. I perceive people using fluid or inaccurate definitions for words as a vehicle for hostile manipulation and malicious intent.

    I am in therapy for this, but I’m skeptical CBT or drugs can rectify how I interpret linguistic nuance.
