So let's put pressure on our government to do that instead of trying to shoot ourselves in the foot.

It'll be okay to vote third party (in a social sense since it's already allowed legally) when we change the election systems that we use so that third party votes are not spoiler votes. Let's abandon First Past the Post and use something like Ranked Choice Voting or better.

This does not say she is bragging about doing anything sexual with Trump. She is trying to deny it.

Fun is also what fuels exploration and learning. I think the overall point here is that there are people who have fun with different experiences that may be at odds with each other. Some people like struggling with something until they achieve success, and others just want to relax and have a good time.

Personally, I've had my fun with hard games in the past, but I'm turned off from the idea of getting stuck behind a skill barrier because I'm older now and have less time to spend on games.

What is your opinion of the idea that this position may make you indistinguishable from a Trump supporter?

Does celebate mean virgin? I thought it just meant not having sex.

I like to think that being called weird isn't an insult. But it is being taken as an insult when used on people who call others weird as an insult themselves.

"getting at girls" "as young as possible", even post-puberty is basically pedophilia, do you not agree?

Can't it be fixed?

I have a theory that the anger issues could lead to cognitive decline. Anger and rage has a tendency to kick off the fight or flight response. With that comes survival mode, lizard brain thinking, and irrational decision making. There's a lot of viral videos of people in this situation where the anger is causing them to make bad decisions. The experience might even be traumatic for them, kicking off their mental defense mechanisms.

Afterward, they post-hoc try to justify what happened in those moments to hold onto the idea that they are still a good person. Occasionally they realize they have a problem that needs to be fixed, but many times they will dig into their irrational positions with new emotional attachments to it. It can take a lot of therapy to get past it, which still has a lot of stigma with testosterone-types, so they don't and the irrational "logic" builds up over time. Therefore, cognitive decline.

Are there more substantiated studies on the effects of anger, especially there we see this pattern? I think I am seeing it over and over, but I can't be sure of the prevalence of the behavior since there is a bias in the media I see.

He'll probably blame rigged elections for his loss. In his mind, he wants to avoid the idea he ever made a bad choice.
