i remember wanting to own people so bad when i was younger. like a ratio was the one thing that could satisfy the deep feeling of powerlessness and insignificance i felt at any moment, the knowledge that i could own everyone from a press secretary to a head of state. but that sucked. it sucks. im not trying to own anyone anymore, im simply saying the first thing that comes to my mind and hope that i at least find it funny.

It does suck! That’s why I have a strict policy to keep my internet interactions to at least 80% people I like, and make jokes around those I don’t rather than trying to skewer them. In the end, you will have done the ultimate own — the owning of your own mental demons

Curious to know what states went to which candidate to get these electoral numbers. I had envisioned a more close run thing in the popular vote, roughly 40-30-30 Powell-Brown-Gephardt, but a Powell electoral landlside.

Really? I assumed Powell would soak up the Republicans + the Clinton centrists + anyone who doesn't like Moonbeam, making the Gerphart campaign kinda redundant.

.
Despite being the incumbent president, Jerry Brown is really the third party candidate since he lost the backing of the Democratic Party and base, his support comes from the broad tent he forms with the abandoned Jacksonites, the progressive left, Perotists, greens, and general anti-duopoly malcontents. Speaker Gephardt is the figurehead of anti-Jerry Democrats and holds on to the base of the party which is probably 25-30% of the electorate.

Here, spruced it up a bit with a better balance + didn't notice I got Gerphart's home state wrong.

it's a direct quote from the South African politics thread by an Afrikaner politician's tweet responding to, for some reason, Keir Starmer being mealy-mouthed about trans people

Mike Waters isn't an Afrikaner. He was actually born in the UK.

Also, not sure that it's relevant, but he's also openly gay.

i'm going to be honest i used afrikaner to mean "white south african"

i actually considered using something different but i didn't for some reason, can't remember why

An Afrikaner is not synonymous with a white South African. I understand that 'Afrikaner' can also be shorthand for a certain kind of bigot, how ever misguided that assumption may be, but I would caution against assuming that all white South Africans are Afrikaners, and that all Afrikaners (or white South Africans) are bigots, and generally against any kind of broad ethnic stereotyping.
