  • Go to a concert and you might hear people clapping along to a song. All they have to do is meet their hands at the proper time, at speed. Some people are a half second off, and they don’t have to maintain distance, stave off boredom, or consider their stride. Humans kinda suck without practice

  • Absolutely did. They considered cutting the parade short because of it, so it was at least unpleasant. I’m not going to misattribute trump’s successes and failures. Internet people on the left were dumbfounded by trump’s electoral success, and I attempt to avoid following in their footsteps.

  • I’m guessing 30-60k, based on the density of participants and their initial estimates on crowd size. They expected 200k and most seats were empty as they grew more distant. Why would you prepare for 5-10x your projected crowd? No, they just had a poor showing between the weather and the approval rating.

  • I honestly don’t know enough about economics to dispute anything you’ve said. I will point out that this dispute is nearly entirely unrelated to nuclear capabilities, though. Were both Israel and Iran to both disarm their nuclear capabilities, they’d both still seek to tear into one another for a host of theology-adjacent reasons.

  • To be fair, they really don’t have any other option. They’ve already made the US a long-term enemy both culturally and politically, and, despite that, Iran still seeks to be a key geopolitical player. There aren’t many other avenues for that in the short term, which is all that usually matters for a dictatorship.

    Things will be shaking up in the next few years, so let’s see whether they’ll continue to be perceived as antagonistic to the world at large as the US shifts into goblin mode and khamenei kicks the bucket, hopefully loosening oppression.

  • They’re both the villains and the victims. Chad was also both villain and victim. All of the students killing themselves in absurd ways, both villains and victims. That was the main joke, from what I understood.

  • “What percentage of them are classic Americans?”

    “What, like natives? I think abou-“

    “No, I mean claaaaaassic Americans”

    “British? Almost none?”

    “No, I mean claaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassic Americans”

    “White puritans?”

    “Patriots, yes. And no fatties.”
