The offices where we actually have a chance of electing someone in the next 2 years are all local positions. So that answer is going to be dependent on what state you live in.

There is no doubt one of the candidates - Trump - is way more dangerous than the other.

Both recognizes those are the only 2 real options, and directly states which is the worse of those 2 options.

you cannot only settle for the least worst option

Implying you do need to settle for the least worst option but going on to say that that’s not enough to actually make change.

That’s now how that works. Please show me some examples of successful revolutions that had 0 ties to those in power.

My impression of what she’s saying here is, vote for Harris now, but don’t wait 4 years to be politically active again so we can try to actually get someone better. Which I completely agree with. Getting Trump elected doesn’t help anything and might make some goals less achievable, and right now Harris is the only one who can beat him. But the more important part is to not stop critiquing her ideology. Don’t let her forget about Palestinian children, don’t let people be complacent with capitalist hegemony, do the ground work necessary to move our government to the left. That doesn’t mean waiting four years to try and stop her reelection, it means continuing to talk in real life with people about what we should expect from government. It means trying to build momentum behind some candidates to get them elected in 2 years, and don’t wait for election season to do so. This work doesn’t stop.

And a brief aside for those that just want a revolution to be done with it. 1, most of the same still applies, especially the building momentum part. And 2, there haven’t been any successful revolutions without some connections to those in power, so we’ll need to elect some sympathetic candidates before that possibility has any chance.

Eating hot wings is a pretty standard food challenge in the states. Many local wings places were doing it long before this YouTube show. (Like “if you can eat this plate of ghost pepper wings you get them for free and your picture on the wall”) I don’t know much about the brand but they definitely were always planning on doing food related things based on the name “first we feast” and this idea makes sense. The interviews are otherwise normal and like I said have this guy who’s a good interviewer. If you’re curious, find a celebrity you like and watch that episode. Or you can just forget the whole thing because I assure you there are much weirder premises for interview shows.

I think the hot wings do a couple things, give them a sort of trajectory for the interview, make interviewee more vulnerable, and gimmick for brand recognition. The interviewer is also just really good at his job and asks interesting questions, so it could probably work without that stuff but certainly wouldn’t have the notoriety it currently does.

Hot ones has some great celebrity interviews if you’re into that sort of thing. This video is a very unfunny outlier.

My downvote wasn’t in anger. It’s more about the fact that this isn’t a news article which makes it questionably breaking the rules of this /c/. Combined with the headline being serious editorializing via broad generalization of what the statement is. Not saying it’s not true, just that it’s a unnecessarily sensational.

The police are typically just there to point guns, so I’d only call if I thought a gun was useful, which is extremely rare.

It’s tough to passively live in an absurdist mentality. Especially with the heavy indoctrination into the abrahamic value structure embedded in most world cultures. It’s something to keep reminding yourself of. That being said, you’re allowed to give yourself a purpose that means something to you. It doesn’t have to just be “everything is meaningless”, it can instead be “everything is meaningless so I might as well make it better.”

To say the same thing a different way. Nihilism says “nothing matters so why do anything”, which is a very easy passive emotion to sink into. Absurdism says “nothing matters so why not do everything”, which requires actively choosing to do something. The latter option sounds a bit more fun to me, even if it takes a little effort.

Here’s an ordered list of shows that came to mind, starting with what I think best fits with what you mentioned and getting further away from there, though I think they’re all worth it.

Fringe

The boys

Yellow jackets

Stranger things

The good place

Be direct in communication when needed, otherwise just don’t.

Yeah, 50% person actually restarted, 30% chance person is lying, 20% chance person just turned the monitor off and back on.

Revolutions aren’t successful unless they have some ties to those in power. So we need some comrades in office before making plans like that.

You could run for office

The president isn’t the only thing on the ballot. I don’t see the revolution happening with the dearth of actually left wing politicians we currently have. Fuck the president, vote local.

That’s just a safety tip

For a dog example, a black lab (with dark skin) is more genetically similar to a yellow lab (with light skin) than a black pomeranian (with dark skin).
