Quote from: HVC on Today at 02:52:48 PMDo they give in or die off*? Did those protesting rock, to keep that example, end up embracing or at least tolerating it?
*Well, I guess in some cases they live on in keeping it alive through their kids. Amish are still fighting the good fight against the morally corrupting buttons![]()
Quote from: DGuller on Today at 10:17:55 AMWhen it comes to reviews in general, there seems to be a ridiculous inflation. If my Uber driver has 4.9 stars, I start sweating. The idiotic "perfect or nothing" mindset originally pushed by corporate management percolated down to everyone, and now reviews for anything have lost much of their power to differentiate.

Rights been doing that forever. Rock and roll will be the end of us!
Those people gave in. I think current grievances are eternal.

Sorry, that was directed at Raz and his obsession, and you slipped in before it got posted.

Quote from: Admiral Yi on Today at 01:32:30 PMQuote from: Valmy on Today at 12:49:44 PMDude. There was a right wing rage machine 40 years ago. I know. I got screamed at by an endless and tiresome series of enraged Republicans in the 1990s for disliking Bill Clinton to a level that was insufficient for them. Like I didn't like Bill but I failed to reach their acceptable level of disliking. And for this crime I was regularly subjected to unhinged screaming sessions.
So stop with the fantasy land shit about how right wing people just started being full of rage.
Dude. There have been angry people since Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden. The recent difference, IMO, is that people discovered if they let the cause of their anger fester, instead of solving it, and simultaneously invent new things to be outraged about, it can generate positive feelings. Or at least it's new that this mindset has been mainstreamed into political discourse.
