Many people are giving wrong answers. Cognitive dissonance is NOT simply holding two opposing ideas in your head. Cognitive DISSONANCE is the uneasy feeling people are supposed to get when holding discongruent ideas at the same time.
Some people do not feel cognitive dissonance at all even while openly voicing the opinions. Great examples are all over politics. If one is for women having the freedom to make their own medical decisions, but oppose abortion bejng legal, those are two opposing views that SHOULD trigger unease and make them reconsider one position or the other.
A better example is people that believe laws should apply equally to everyone, but then go on to say Trump should totally be immune. That SHOULD cause dissonance, but it doesn’t for far too many.
You’re being downvoted, but that is EXACTLY how this otherwise benign moment will be weaponized by the right.
Republicans WILL share this as a slander, and the Dems will utterly fail to clarify the truth. They suck at clearing up Republican BS partly because clearing up lies always takes longer than speaking the lie, but the Dems have a track record of falling on their ass in the attempt.
The ratchet effect is real, which is why “enlightened centrism” is nothing but a moronic farce that runs cover for the ratchet mechanism. Republicans are literally vile, selfish pieces of shit that do not know what America stands for (or rather do not like what America stands for), and they MUST be treated as such.
Literal traitors should NEVER get the benefit of any doubt.
I definitely remember some people screeing about Bush and Cheney wanting it, but IIRC, everyone was treating it like suspicion at most.
The Epstein conspiracy theory was accepted FAR more readily, but then that’s basically guaranteed to be true to some degree, even if it was truly just the jailors being incompetent fuckwits that wanted to take justice in to their own hands.
The only thing I remember people being remotely close to believing was that Bush was so incompetent that he allowed a terrorist attack to happen.
It’s not really a theory that Bush was an incompetent fuckwit, but it’s highly debatable if they knew enough to stop it.
Yea, I’ve definitely seen “normal” rings that this one looks better than.
It’s capitalism in the education sector.
Dude talking like he’s never even heard of Schadenfreude… Not only is it cathartic, but it’s educational if you pay attention to what people are making fun of.
What to learn from the cybertruck? That billionares are fucking morons and that the meritocracy is a lie. They, in fact, do not deserve their wealth. Any of them, but especially not Elongated Muskrat.
Then get rid of the non-functional ziplock part altogether. That’d save way more plastic.
Can batteries be extinguished? I thought the whole point was they were self-fueling and burn at least until the charge energy is gone.
Wet bulb effect. That’s nearing fatal conditions. Humans die, guaranteed, in roughly 86F, 100% humidity (without a breeze), because sweat does nothing, and our warm blooded nature means the temp at which we overheat is less than equal to ambient.
No, you don’t need to douse it in a substance it readily reacts with… I don’t know where this farce comes from, but it doesn’t corport wirth reality unless the point is to literally burn the fire out by fueling it. Like putting a bellows on a coal fire…
Regulation in the US appears to be nothing but smoke and mirrors.
They did say “in America”. Perhaps he’s towards the top for confirmed kills, though if we include credible suspicions, there are many terrible people that didn’t deserve even the concept of freedom.
There are several serial killers that are in the hundreds, so no. No they are not.
No, it’s actually wrong and I was sarcastic. Just because a lot of the world is geared behind a patriarchy does not mean it’s suddenly OK to scapegoat the complexities of basic sexual attraction on to one gender.
“It’s more than the religious that take part in this” does NOT magically mean the social norms were not established by conservative fuckwits who were almost certainly heavily religious in order to protect themselves and keep their position in a patriarchy.
Conservative religions absolutely deserve most of the blame, regardless of which gender sat at the top.
Everyone is in ‘a’ class. It’s a classification of the populous. Do you work for money, or does your money work for you?
If you receive a paycheck or have to budget what so ever, chances are you are not part of the classification of shitbags that push the propaganda.
I mean, you seem to be assuming that muskboy cares about any of his children.
He just hates that one more because she exposes him for the hateful shitbag he is.
