    Well, that’s why you’re not elected to most powerful position in the country.

    I don’t care if this how the majority of people would act. It’s NOT how a leader should act. That’s the point. He literally has the most command in that room, and he’s doing nothing. As the person in charge he shouldn’t be passive to everything around him, at fucking least, take an active role in observing the situation, or assuaging the media nearby.

    Instead, at BEST he’s just lost and confused; doesn’t know what to do in an emergency. At WORST, he just doesn’t give a fuck. Trump lands somewhere between these two, and either way doesn’t look like a leader.

    I think I used to think that. Like, I get the edgy 4chaner-esque thing. There’s a bit of selfaware irony in it all that can work…

    But for Shoe, after the Kirk thing, when she rushed to play defense, I think the whole mask dropped. Which, kind of makes sense. I don’t think you can do 2010 anti-sjw content for 15 years and not ACTUALLY be a bit of a winger. If you haven’t grown in that time, and you’re still stuck making that same content… that’s just who you are.

    Look at her contemporaries and people after her. AmazingAtheist/TJ/IntoTheFray was one of the OG anti-feminist/sjw creators. He’s still a bit of an edgelord, but even he’s grown past that content and matured in thought.

    And you can look at her peers in the space who sort of occupy the same niche. People like Vaush. Bit edgy, bit hot-take. But still has pretty consistent lefty values.

    For Shoe, her act stopped being an act. The jokes just became what she is. She wasn’t being critical anymore of lefty extemists, she was just becoming a winger. And her defense of Kirk proved it.


  • I think the key differences are quality and time spent.

    You stay up, watch a 15 minute (10 actually, ala US tv commercials) episode of ATHF and thats it. Maybe you watch Sealab:2021 afterwards too. At worst, youre extremely smoothbrained and watch Squidbillies too.

    Okay, so what is the total brain rot time? Like 30 minutes a night? 1 hour tops? Only on weeknights really? You couldn’t watch it all day. You could change the channel to something else, but it wasn’t “that”, all day.

    Whatever you change it to might not be “great” but it was still moderated FCC compliant content. Like, your channel scrolling isnt intermingled with a adult man telling children to be racist and abuse women. Not seamlessly anyways.

    Compare that the never ending, ever scrolling, available whenever brainrot that is TikTok/YoutubeShorts/etcetcetc. Its not even close. Kids are watching Minecraft videos and then listening to Asmongold atop of SubwaySurfers. Engaging with content and comments all day, everyday on demand.

    They are not forced to “change the channel” or go do something else. And what’s on “the channel” is (essentially) unmoderated content to children who dont know if something is real or the wider context.

    Everything is “neurodivergent” now.

    Oh, you sometimes forget where you left something? Neurodivergent.

    Oh, you have a particular way you like to organize things that works for you? Neurodivergent.

    Oh you don’t organize at all? Also neurodivergent.

    You don’t like some foods because they taste weird to you? You bet your sweet little snowflake ass, neurodivergent.

    And look, I’ll give it to you that the field has opened up, there is better research into psychology, autism, adhd etc. Diagnosis are obviously going to go up as understanding goes up… but ffs… So many people watch some TikTok self-help “coach” and think “omg, I do that!! that means I’M different and special now! lmao, so neurospicy”. It’s the “I wash my hands after cooking, I’m OCD like that” bullshit. Back when EVERYONE who did anything with even the slightest modicum of care/detail would say they’re a little OCD.

    And it just makes light of people with actual struggles, with REAL “neurodivergence”. As if it’s just some quirky thing. So now people with OCD are seen, NOT as someone with a debilitating disorder that literally consumes hours of their day and faculties. But, instead, they’re just a little silly, just a goof.

    Everyone now is like “omg, sometimes I just daydream and forget what I was doing, I’m soooo ADHD”… like…

    No, I have ADHD… are you struggling to do things in a manner that causes you severe internal panic? And even though you logically know what should be done you can’t bring yourself to take action because you get overwhelmed when trying to think of all the tasks and subtasks and prep work and then you don’t know where to start and so you just …

    don’t …

    do …

    anything, even as your mind is screaming?

    And then the guilt of not having accomplished the goals feeds into a pattern of failure and anxiety to the point where you just stop caring to try anymore?

    Sorry, just a little neurospicy. My brain a widdle fuckywucky, lolol so random. Right?
