Boy I don't know if I'd trust the judgment of a single person on here of what "normal" is to anyone who could actually be described that way.

Put it this way:
Most women do like fucking men and find it unfortunate and a shame if they can't. Many men consider fucking women (regardless of if they like it - many seem not to!) to be an integral part of their existence as a person and an civilizational crisis worth killing over if they can't.

The thing about the political gender divide for me is that lefty women don't generally get *angry* about far-right men. It's suboptimal, they'd rather men were more sane, but they can live with it as long as they're left alone. But fascist men get *violently angry* at women having different politics
on the one hand, I do believe that un-fucking gender relations in this country is a good goal in the long run. on the other hand, it's not really feasible, let alone reasonable, to do so if there is a not-insignificant portion of men out there doing "women need the feminism beaten out of them"

Oh come on, he's named after a tyrannicide, he threatens to kill the president, and his son turns traitor and successfully assassinates Lincoln?
![In 1835, Booth wrote a letter to President Andrew Jackson, demanding he pardon two pirates. In the letter, he threatened to kill the President. Though there would also be an actual attempt of assassination on the President early that year, the letter was believed to be a hoax, until a handwriting analysis of a letter written some days after the threat concluded that the letter was, in fact, written by Booth.[11] Booth apologized to Jackson, though since he and Jackson were friends, the "threat" likely was Booth's clumsy attempt at a joke.[12] Decades later, Booth's son, John Wilkes, assassinated President Abraham Lincoln.[13]

an underratedly cyberpunk thing was when that one sysadmin went insane in 2008 and locked the entire city of SF's network down because people weren't listening to his suggestions. my dad couldn't get paid for some stuff for a few days. Gavin Newsom had to meet him in prison to get the city passwords

Illinoisans are not the worst drivers but we are *pricks.* I think we can win this one dirty.
coming up with a new idea called "driving like shit olympics". no more bland, unprovable statements like "california drivers are the WORST" allowed. whichever state wins every 4 years gets a moonshot-sized public transit investment to get those fuckers off the road

I overheard someone at my LGS the other day say that he put a big sticker of the Mexican flag on his truck for this reason. Just as at level of fuck you and friction, I bet there's a ton of this kinda of thing going on, big and small.

Can't ban inhumane weapons at the Geneva Conventions until you have a Geneva Conventions, and you can't have a Geneva Conventions until you win the war.
on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

These federal buildings have cells designed to hold a few people for a brief period; like a holding cell at a police station. Supposed to be 12 hours max, usually less.
People are being held in them for 7-10 days, jammed in like sardines. It’s a nightmare.

Oh look, apparently multiple commanders have decided to play out their inner General Edwin Walker.
Walker actually resigned from the Army after being reprimanded, and it looks really bad on a politicization of the military. And it augers that there has to be some sort of post-Trump separations.
