  • I love the irony in the cognitive dissonance:

    "Everyone believes they are immune to propaganda." - Group of Redditors buying into blatant propaganda.

    Yes, it's Russian propaganda that caused Hillary to lose, and not her unmasked contempt for anyone not completely adherent to neoliberal ideology. The success of the previously unknown Bernie's campaign should have been a wake up call to at least act like you could play nice with the more progressive folks. Bernie was never going to be the VP pick, but there were a handful of others that would have been at least throwing a bone to that part of the base.

    Nope, she picks Tim "Pro Life" fucking Kaine, but it was Russian ops that convince those Michigan voters to pick Stein.









  • It's a tradition that started because King Edward VII was too fat for his coat, so he stopped buttoning the bottom button. Not long after, the British aristocracy began doing the same.

    It is silly when you realize that's the origin, but most people don't realize that's what started it (especially on a leftist site). It's just become one of those unacceptable faux pas when wearing a suit, and jackets today are tailored in a way that anticipates that the bottom button is never fastened.


  • I wouldn't slam on a regular bro for any of these faux pas (except the beanie) when you see them at the one event in their year that requires a suit, but I'll slam the guy who promotes 'high value male' bullshit for fastening the bottom button.

    Now I'm trying to decide if the ignorance is willful or not, because I could absolutely picture Tim being advised and brushing it off because he's a rebel.




  • Additionally, you can't repurpose a used shipping container since it's nearly impossible to determine if and/or what hazardous materials have been shipped in one over the course of it's life. So all of these concepts rely on net new containers, which completely nullifies the whole point.
