Yes, the term is hanging in there (and could do so indefinitely) even though Google stopped giving decent results several years ago.

Yes, terrible to “attack” the poor guy like that. He’s just concerned for the level of the discourse, poor thing.

This you? Specifically: this you, arguing in a way that instantly, grossly obviously outs you as a troll. Not only the intensely weird way you’re defending a murderer, but the intensely weird ways you’re going about it. I’d elaborate, but don’t feel like educating trolls.

So there’s the answer to your " genuine " question. Of course, you remain free to ignore this terrible unprovoked attack from my side and pretend I’m quivering with rage, if that makes you feel better. :)

kbin.run although the missing instance blocking is really starting to get on my tits.

I’ve been hearing reports that “the market is way down” (due to Kamala/Democrats/god knows what else)

And how would you estimate the likelihood of any part of it being… uh, true? What are they basing it on, does it seem to check out with reality?

I mean, surely these allegations wouldn’t, in a truly shocking twist, have come from their (notoriously pathologically dishonest) political enemies, right?

The Harry Potter main series, for which I have a major case of nostalgia. I’ll happily and accurately slag JKR off for being a dimwit with terribly stupid opinions, who would need to be both smarter and more committed to make her “make it up as you go along” worldbuilding make any sort of sense at all. Which, bluntly, it doesn’t.

But considering how much of a turnip she is, parts of her worldbuilding is strangely compelling while others fail basic self-consistency.

Not at all. The guys designing the early drafts of the applicable laws seem to never have considered a convicted felon persuading millions and millions of people that it, or his active prison sentence, doesn’t matter because PwN tHe LiBs. Frankly, how could they?

Industrial strength cognitive dissonance, the only thing involving cognition they’re good at at all.

Yeah, but it’s not the gotcha you think it is. The entire right-winger thing is whinging about everything being someone’s fault. Particularly de gubmit. Even in cases when they are in a majority in said “gubmit” at the time, and have been for nigh on a decade.

Point is, you are implicitly giving these cretins too much credit in the rhetoric they use. It’s not meant to make sense. It’s meant to rile up rednecks/whatever-other-relevant-stereotype.

Pop-up riddled shit that annoys anyone who tries to read it. Substack is apparently riddled with Nazis, but then that was a characteristic I heard here, so take that with a pinch of salt.

Maybe github pages?
