THEM: "any big plans for the weekend?"

ME: "Well..."

seeing less victimhood culture content lately, which is nice. Seeing more honor culture content, which is a shame. One of the many things the West gets right is dignity culture.

[VB Knives @Empty_America]

The idea that you can talk shit with no possible physical consequence has been the "law" for a long time.

But few really believed it or acted that way, it wasn't the social norm, there was some honor culture left.

Actually internalizing this expectation is very new.

He treats every random person he meets on the street like he's just found a new pokemon.

Based on everything I know about Platner I just can't believe he would abuse a woman. It doesn't seem consistent at all.

Well, my fourth application to Anthropic was just rejected, this time with Dario personally telling me to never contact him again. No matter. Due to recent visions, I now realize I’m the younger brother of Jesus Christ

@AzizSunderji No clue, but I am fairly confident that fewer than all of the people in the United States want to live in GV. If we're being really reckless, it might even be fewer than 10% of the people in the United States!

@PikettyWIL That's not going to happen, so I guess get a good AC.

[Jesse Singal @jessesingal]

I'm sorry but he's just a liar! It's much more honest to say "He lied about the Nazi tattoo but control of the Senate is too important given MAGA grotesquery, so I'd rather vote for the liar" than it is to deny he's a liar. Lotta people debasing themselves.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

There is not a single friend that I have (or even acquaintance I can think of) who has behaved the way Platner's alleged to have behaved. Not one.

"he twisted her arm behind her back, shoved her into a bedroom and held the door closed from the other side so she couldn’t get out."

That's an allegation of criminal behavior. The question is whether it's true, not whether it's severe.

[Unlearned Hand @Unlearned_Hand]

@poorlyreasoned @hecubian_devil Like, it's hard for me to believe that the NYT is trying to soft-pedal these accusations. But if what the main accuser is saying is true, it sounds like they are doing that. But if what she's saying about that is untrue, I don't believe the other stuff.

[Unlearned Hand @Unlearned_Hand]

@poorlyreasoned @hecubian_devil I dunno what to make of this stuff. FWIW I fucking hate Platner. But the dynamics around this article are a little weird? Not "I don't believe it" weird, but "someone is lying about why it ran in the form it did" weird.
