If we had to have a video game dictator, he wouldn't be the worst

You can be mad at both. Those in power should be changing the system to make it better and more fair, but they are not. That deserves anger. But while we are stuck with the existing system, and while the results of the system have serious consequences, then refusing to participate (and voting 3rd party in such a system is refusing to participate) means allowing the serious consequences to occur, and therefore also deserves anger.

It's almost exactly the classic trolley problem. Voting democrat means pulling the lever: you cause some harm, but far less harm than if the trolley had not been diverted. Voting 3rd party is the equivalent to not pulling the lever, allowing much greater harm while feeling morally "clean" for not having caused it yourself.

I mean surely its a negative? You might like Xbox/switch in spite of the closed ecosystem, but wouldn't they be better if they had an open ecosystem?

But then why spend so much money on a phone? I also don't care about the specs of my phone, but this means I usually buy some $100 phone that gets the job done for a couple years.

I genuinely don't see a reason why someone would buy an iPhone besides as a fashion accessory/ status symbol

Yes, terminal means "end" or similar. Eg. "Terminal cancer", "the airport terminal" etc. same root word as"terminate"

I'm not sure how the survey was phrased to participants, but to me a "hobby" is a regular thing someone does, as their way to pass the time/have fun. I've smoked before and have no problem with it, but I do think I would find it less attractive for it to be someone's hobby, as opposed to an occasional social thing they do.

Similarly I have no problem with people watching porn, but if it's gone far enough for it to be considered their hobby, then that is less attractive to me, which also matches the chart.

I might be misunderstanding the word hobby, but so might many of the survey participants.

total overkill

One might consider it the nuuklear option

Honestly her liking him or just pretending is irrelevant. Start by learning "offering to rub someone's feet (or any other somewhat intimate touching) is NOT a good way to flirt, even if they do like you!"

No matter what arbitrary divisions are in place, be that gender or weight or race or whatever, there will always be people who dominate the field. That doesn't destroy the Olympics as a sport competition, that is the Olympics as a sport competition. Competing in order to find the best of the best, the "freaks of nature" who manage to far surpass the average person.

not the online assholes

Honestly you've made yourself seem like an online asshole here. Who else besides an asshole ragebaits people for their own enjoyment?

If I was rich I would live wherever made me happy, probably somewhere with lots of nature, and I'd be happy to pay my share in taxes cus I can trivially afford it.

It would be incredibly depressing to be rich but only find joy in hoarding money.

Ok but idk if the flying atrocities that are mosquitoes deserve a title as high as "animal" tho
