I knew I was missing at least one other instance. What a jackass.

DeSantis does love to fuck around. He never learns anything from the finding out he later recieves, but oh my he does love him some fuckery.

Seeing his reaction to facts and logic is like watching a cartoon robot’s reaction to a logic bomb.

What’s keeping him in the race is the delusional nature of his supporters. Think about all those points you wrote about what a horrible person he is. How many other candidates could survive even one of those controversies? He lives in an imaginary world of his own creation where whatever he says he believes to be true, and his cult like followers are so brainwashed that their perfectly smooth grey matter just soaks it up like a sponge. There’s precious little he could do or say at this point that would have his base leave him.

This isn’t even the first time he’s done this, remember what happened with Covid and Asian Americans? Just look at the hate groups that support him, he never really distances himself from them, and he riles them up or gives them a target whenever it behooves him to do so.

Stupid is as stupid does.

It’s like someone took a bunch of Republican grievance talking points and tossed it into a big nonsensical word salad of fear mongering.

Listening to him is to hear the sound of dementia.

Acting normal for 3 minutes would be a record for Trump.

And now it’s vote for the senile felon.

Gee, if people had just realized he has no idea what he’s doing 8+ years ago we all would’ve been better off.

Yeah, I mean I wouldn’t necessarily attribute it to someone buying such a specific type of tech, but in many other hobbies it wouldn’t be unusual

The word “Objectify” is about 2-3 syllables too long for whoever created that ad to understand.

I think there are two types of people you could consider in this scenario.

The first being an individual who has a genuine interest in a hobby, they research what gear would be the best for what they want to do, and then puts in the work to gain expertise.

The second type is where I think the derision is focused. These are the people who walk into a store, and either ask for the top of the line gear or just buy whatever is the most expensive, without putting any thought into it, and don’t really care about the hobby. In other words, the hobby is performative, and the gear becomes a status symbol.

I don’t have any ill will towards someone buying the best gear for their needs, regardless of skill level, but if you’re just doing it for show, I think that’s fair game for mockery.

The opulent newb.

For once, an article reporting an “overweight Ford” causing a mess isn’t referring to a politician in Ontario.

He was also a taxonomist with a specialty in parasitology (I worked for him doing parasitology work on fish) turns out when he first met his to be wife (anecdote that came directly from him) he went fishing, and brought the fish to his to-be in-laws where he was sure to point out evert parasite in the fish that they would then go on to eat.

The rest is just the shits I guess.
