Cynicism isn't not-exhausting just because it has the illusion of cleverness.

If you say so. Doesn't seem to change any part of my point, either of them, in any way, but good and useful correction, I guess.

"obvious signs of cognitive decay" motherfuckers are they talking about the guy who went on and on about Sharks the other day? The guy who couldn't make a single true statement the whole fucking night? Christ this shit is so tiring. They are such amazing cowards.

Listen, I hear you, but there was a time when I felt like I could expect Baby Boomers to understand that american politics is literally life-or-death for a huge number of people, and that time was sometime prior to the last twenty years. I just expect them all to be this obtuse, these days.

I gotta say that people are having a lot of trouble distinguishing cognitive decline (Trump) from age-related changes in expression (Biden). Biden is elderly and talks like it. Trump literally does not have preserved reality-testing

I've ceased being able to be surprised by Baby Boomers thinking all politics is a game that they're only just-barely playing. Even my own parents are just barely engaged.

Also, if the demographics your whisper network look nothing like the demographics of the perpetrator's victims, you don't have a whisper network, you have a gossip mill.

There's something so beautiful about the way this guy couldn't even read up-thread enough to see who and what you were responding to. Just a platonic ideal of the form.

I actually agree with you on the substance of your joke, for what it's worth. Still doesn't make it a good joke, or the follow-up any good, either.

I admit freely, I'm using this as an excuse to let the next scene percolate a bit more before I actually write it. And maybe help someone get used to not being an ass about alt-text. But also just for fun, too

Yes, actually. I question that daily. Meanwhile, alt-text is good, regardless of the situation, and it would be better for you to recognize that instead of whatever this is.

Bud, I read your joke. Your joke was *bad*. It did not land. It was ill-formed. It was stupid. It was un-funny. You then chose to make it *worse* Jesus. You understand that you can just not respond to things you dislike, too, right? You don't have to dig deeper on the "I am a fuckup" question

That's a hell of a lot of words to write because people didn't think your joke landed. And no one forced you to bring up alt text as some sort of dunk. You could have just not looked like an ass all on your own.
