Mentally-Ill-Fluencer Open Thread

Ryan Long -- I mean, "Brian Dong" -- wonders which mental illness he should choose to pretend he has, in order to increase his clout and follower count (and thus his income).

Note that all the headlines that flash on the screen promoting mental illness are real media headlines. Well, by "real media," I include outlets like Vice, but what's the difference between Vice and CNN now?

9 I think Long Dong has the wrong idea. He shouldn't choose a mental illness to promote. He should just act like he has a mental illness and let people talk and speculate about it. That's how you drive interest and eyeballs to your site.

47 Yeah, I really wish I didn't have to deal with my husband's mental illness, and he'd give it up in heartbeat if he could. Every time I think we're on top of things, a new quirk pops up. For instance, last night I didn't take him and the service dog to a fireworks show, but I handed him earplugs for all the amateur displays going on in our area. Turns out that doing that gave him "thought-insertion hallucinations" and thankfully he had enough sense to yank out the earplugs. Sometimes he doesn't have enough sense and that's what leads to incidents.

78 Trump still considering VPs?

MAGA Gov Candidate's Ugly, Hateful Rant: "Some Folks Need Killing!" Source: New Republic. Mark Robinson, the extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence in a bizarre and extended rant he delivered on June 30 in a small-town church.

“Some folks need killing!” Robinson, the state’s lieutenant governor, shouted during a roughly half-hour-long speech in Lake Church in the tiny town of White Lake, in the southeast corner of the state. “It’s time for somebody to say it. It’s not a matter of vengeance. It’s not a matter of being mean or spiteful. It’s a matter of necessity!”

Robinson’s call for the “killing” of “some folks” came during an extended diatribe in which he attacked an extraordinary assortment of enemies. These ranged from “people who have evil intent” to “wicked people” to those doing things like “torturing and murdering and raping” to socialists and Communists. He also invoked those supposedly undermining America’s founding ideals and leftists allegedly persecuting conservatives by canceling them and doxxing them online.

Let's use AZ as our test case. It's a swinger, right?

In 2020, Biden carried AZ by 10,400 votes (setting aside whether that winning margin was due to fraud).

The RCP average of ALL AZ polls has Trump +6 over Biden in the head-to-head.

Assuming the avg of all the AZ polls is correct, for the DEMs to make up a 6% deficit, they'd need to steal appx 200000 votes in AZ this time, NOT 10400.

I appreciate this optimism, but dismissing the question of how much fraud there was in 2020 ends up being a major crux in every argument I see for having hope for 2024.

How much was there in 2020? It wasn't 10,401. It was more than that. How much more. How many fake mail in ballots?

Mail in voting was 66% of the vote total in 2020. That's roughly 2 million votes. Hell, 1/4 of mail in balloters admitted to fraud (helping someone fill it out). Not to mention, pallets. And, we've been told repeatedly that it's fine. Also, the state is fighting an effort to clean off 500,000 dead voters from the rolls.

What if I told you that there were 500,000 fake mail in ballots in AZ in 2020?

We're ALL unicorns on the "queer" and "divergent" buses; every little tic or preference has its hagiography.

I am not on board with being labelled either "neurotypical" or "cisgender", because both are part of the word games (like trying to make "Democracy!TM" synonymous with Democrat) endemic in changing things for the worse: I refuse to "identify" as "cis" because I refuse to define myself in terms of NOT being someone else's identity.

Same with "neurotypical": I don't identify as "not on the spectrum".

160 Robinson’s call for the “killing” of “some folks” came during an extended diatribe in which he attacked an extraordinary assortment of enemies. These ranged from “people who have evil intent” to “wicked people” to those doing things like “torturing and murdering and raping” to socialists and Communists. He also invoked those supposedly undermining America’s founding ideals and leftists allegedly persecuting conservatives by canceling them and doxxing them online.

In all this, Robinson appeared to endorse lethal violence against these unnamed enemies, particularly on the left, though he wasn’t exactly clear on which “folks” are the ones who “need killing.”

One thing I expect from a politician is that he have the wit not to say stupid things that make him and his supporters look like fools. He fails the test, but I know some of you like him and will never accept that this was a stupid thing to do.

The last guy who claimed Dominion stole the 2020 election was Giuliani.

Dominion sued for corporate libel. So Giuliani had a chance, in court, to prove his claim about Dominion.

Jury returned $20 million verdict against Giuliani. And he's lost his law license.

So... go ahead & believe the voting machine company stole the election, if you like. Unless you have enough money to make it worthwhile for Dominion to sue you... and win again.

Because, the evidence ISN'T THERE, or Giuliani would've presented it in court.

Posted by: eleven

My wife's uncle was a hoarder. His hoarding was neatly ( kinda, sorta) organized. He had one one of those fourth dimension mathematical brains. He worked for the state department of Transportation as an analyst for 38 years. He was a life long bachelor and a big part of my wife's family. Towards the end of his life, several of us would stay overnight with him. When he passed he had a million plus in assets and my MIL was his sole surviving sibling. His hoarding always seemed like a manifestation of a brain that operated very differently from most of the rest of us. I miss my late night discussions with him.

I didn't bother to read the main article (I assume the comments are misrepresented, and if not, we'll all hear about it soon). The biggest tell is the list of people needing killing: “torturing and murdering and raping” to socialists and Communists. The fact the political references weren't in the quoted line is a bit of a red flag.

I disagree the comments are automatically "Noemesque". If North Carolina has a death penalty debate as part of the governor's race, these comments might be acceptable.

Well, that's true!

But, I am curious what you think the cheat level in AZ, the example, was in 2020, and why you think it would be less now.

My thing is that I don't know what it is. It could be 500,000. It could be 0. It's somewhere in there.

However, I think it's a safe assumption that Democrats didn't tear up voting rules to make no difference and not win. They did it to win. They had to because they were behind, massively behind. I think they went huge, and the fact that they have not personally suffered consequences (Hobbs is now governor, remember), tells them that they can do it again. Hell, 2020 is a base for cheating, not a ceiling, in their minds.

Nothing can stop them because nothing has.

224 Speaking of mentally ill influencers, e-girl turned games journo turned games writer Allanah Pearce made the big-brain claim that gaming while caring for a young child is a temporary disability, similar to other physical and permanent disabilities. For this reason, all games (specifically Elden Ring) need to have a pause button.

While maybe they should, the example she used was stupid. She said a dum-dum thing. Rather than admit it, she put on her smart girl glasses and made a follow-up video claiming great experience and authority to speak on such things, because she "works" at a big game studio. She also recently claimed she was pansexual, so she's an authority on mentally illness, too.

There's a bigger issue with actuvist-influencers being given cushy writing and marketing positions with zero practical experience. That needs to be crushed. It's what destroyed comics and it's doing the same to games.

So yes, it is easy to "beat" when you have a pool of 111K jobs that never existed to push into this month. And course, next month when the June data is revised lower, the 206K beat will be revised to a sub 190K miss but by then it will be too late.

That, plus I watched in real time as Trump's vote totals went down in one district's reporting -- don't remember which -- while Biden's went up a corresponding amount. The explanation for that was complete bullshit.

------
RNC is recruiting and training thousands of poll watchers.

Certain precincts it is going to be useless. There are some in Philly where they will physically kick out a GOP watcher, and while getting a court order to let them back in, they will process fake votes.

And I'm not saying that doesn't make a difference, it does, especially when it is close statewide. But there is a limit on the magnitude in a single precinct. They can't go too far over 100% participation of registered voters, before they have a problem.

So it is a balancing game they play. This is what killed Clinton in 2016. She MADE her numbers, even exceeded them. Including all the fraudulent votes that Snipes generated for her in Broward. But she couldn't overcome the massive wave of votes out of the rural counties.

252 Eugyppius reflects on the power of the media

"You’d think, therefore, that the media landscape would be a richly differentiated thing – especially when it comes to big, national stories. Variation like this is present everywhere else in the consumer economy. There are a near-infinite variety of headphones, energy drinks, shoes and coffee makers. Newspapers should be just as varied in their coverage, focus and analysis as all of these other things.

But of course, it is the opposite. Western media resembles much more the consumer landscape of the Soviet bloc. We find the same product on offer everywhere in all leading publications. As in the communist East, variety is confined to a kind of black market – that is to say an array of blogs, social media accounts and alternative (mostly online) publications that you’re not supposed to read and that the official discourse wholly ignores. This anomaly is easy enough to see if you spend multiple hours every day reading news stories. "
