Basically “System 1” is intuitive gut responses, while “System 2” is anything that takes conscious effort to think through.

For a lot of people, 550/2=225 might look right at first glance (System 1) and only with conscious thought at what that division actually evaluates out to would they realize that 500/2 on it’s own is 250 and therefore the answer is actually 275 (System 2)

Plot twist: The 72 are all other incels like them.

Like quite a few early religious rules I will never be convinced that it wasn’t just a bunch of dumbass men couldn’t be arsed to keep their junk clean and got infections thus new ritual was born to eliminate the problem.

Short version, Wife’s granddad was an old racist. Old racist granddad made wife mad. Old racist granddad wanted to impress some people. Wife casually asked old racist granddad about some super old super racist terms he said to her in front of said people to embarrass him in front of them.

From what I can gather it’s like a super old racist term for a black person. idk if I’d call it a full on slur, but definitely in that ballpark. But either way we’re talking like 1920s old. Like this term was at least 75 when my wife did this to her grandfather in 2000.

My wife basically did this to her racist grandpa one time. I think they were having dinner with friends and she goes “Gwampa, I have a question, is a ‘Jive-Ass Jigaboo’ the same thing as a ‘Jungle Bunny’?”

It did not go over well with her grandpa’s friends lmao.

Edit: My wife wanted me to add because I didn’t mention it originally that she was 15 when she did this. So she was 100% aware of the live grenade she was lobbing into this conversation. I was also misremembering a little of the context these people weren’t friends they were people related to her grandpa’s labor union basically he was trying to impress and really laying it on thick. One of whom was a black man. Hence it being this particular live grenade.

Wait, are you telling me that wasn’t a shitpost? That couldn’t have actually been real. Please tell me this timeline has not actually gotten this stupid.

Free will was a mistakeis such a wondrous thing.

Fair, “typically” have experience then?

Still not as visceral of a reaction as the one I had to a dude using a speculum for the same thing and I don’t even have the proper equipment to have experience with one of those.

Or maybe they’re step siblings?

If Mamdani had walked back any of his criticisms of Trump I’d agree, but he didn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I feel you. We’ve been burned. But I don’t think this is Mamdani burning us.

Didn’t he like specifically take over managing what productions happened at the Kennedy Center or whatever to have them do his preferred musicals? Or am I tripping? i swear I remember something like that happening.

Musicals too right?

I’m not saying that he said it was all a joke. I’m saying that the possibility of it all being a joke would be the Least Funny Timeline and that I hope we don’t live in the Least Funny Timeline.

It is a lot different nowadays. Generally speaking yes, it’s still considered a dick move to just out someone before they’re ready. But that’s not what this is. In this case it’s less about the “Being Gay” as it is about Grindr generally being something these conservative family members are doing behind their wives’ backs while also being openly homophobic.

idk, this might just be me being ace and not understanding the tribulations of people that actually have a desire to have sex. But as a trans person who has been in the closet, I can’t imagine going on Grindr if I was gay but still living with conservative parents and closeted. That feels like a risk I’d be way too scared to take.

I’m also always down to use my experience being closeted against bigots. As has at least 90% of gay men I’ve known. Like yeah, making my identity/sexuality The Joke feels bad. But I feel like when that joke is being played specifically on a bigot a lot of us get a lot of catharsis from it. Cuz at that point the joke isn’t “Being gay is bad” it’s “Welcome to the family cousin Jed” and the punchline is their freaking out about it.

idk I’m kinda rambling now. I just feel like it’s different because in a lot of these cases it is the queer kids that were closeted and made fun of that are saying “Wouldn’t it be funny if we turned it around on them for once?”

Yes it does. The notification noise is actually linked in a couple of other comments in this thread. I’m ace so I’ve never used the app personally but it’s rather distinctive to at least my ear and unlike any notification noise I’ve ever heard in a default Android environment. idk about Apple, but after hearing the noise myself I 100% believe that anyone who has used that app for any appreciable amount of time would absolutely recognize that notification noise immediately.

Someone clearly hasn’t seen the video of him interacting with Guliani in drag. Dude loves musicals, was a TV star for years, and his most notable personality trait is being a catty bitch. There’s 1,000% a world where that zesty ass MF did that shit

There is of course also an extremely boring world where that email was just Epstein’s brother making a joke because Trump and Clinton used to be close and that’s all it is. This is the Least Funny Timeline and I hope we don’t live here.

I didn’t used to have problems with this before I started having an on again off again situation with hemorrhoids. Now I’ve gotta be very choosy about what establishments I shit in lest I end up doing my best dramatic reenactment of when my partner still had a uterus.
