  • The US adult population is something like 260 million, and Trump has like 73 million votes.

    Tons of those people also had to deal with votor suppression, and I even had to manually cure my ballot this year because my “signature didn’t match” supposedly (as did 5 other people I know who dropped off at the same location).

    We’ve also been under a huge amount of propaganda and some people are literally living in separate realitites where their enemies are ridiculous evil characatures.

    Like… I get it. It’s hard to feel good towards America right now, and lots of those people who didn’t vote deserve a lot of this blame. But is it really that rational to throw the rest of America under the bus?

    At the very least, just help the people around you. Just be a person and participate in your community. You don’t need to put a bunch of time and energy into political activism, but work done to help local communities is never wasted.



  • Out of curiosity, have you been a moderator before?

    It’s a fairly thankless job that you volunteer for. Most people aren’t doing it out of some lust for power, they’re just doing their best and sometimes make bad calls.

    Are there shitty ones out there? Sure. But many of them are just trying to make nice spaces for their interest.

    Isn’t that the status quo? I guess it’s not really fathers to daughters, but most women I know went through some amount of “here’s how to be a good wife” lessons from their mothers or family. I think women get a lot of “traditional gender roles” training that’s mostly about being caretakers.

    Usually people putting forth this kinda “women should learn how to care for their man” attitude are coming from a conservative “traditional family values” position.

    Really, we should be teaching people how to ask about and learn the needs of their partner, and how to determine your own needs and communicate those to your partner. Basic emotional intelligence stuff. It doesn’t have to be gendered at all.





  • Well you didn’t mention The Good Place, but from your username I assume you’ve watched it :) .

    Ted Lasso is really great throughout and has a really positive viewpoint while still dealing with tough subjects.

    Starstruck (you’ll recognize Rose Matefeo) is a great lightish comedy.

    Crazy ex girlfriend

    Santa Clarita diet
