Kinda reminds me of that documentary where a bunch of doctors travel around North Korea and one of the first things the people did who had their vision restored is thank the portraits of the Kims on the wall
They dont mention this in the article: it wasnt so much that he is prohibited from bringing in the cutout per se. It’s that the gentleman is upset at being prohibited from pleasuring himself to the cutout of Trump.
Much as I agree that this guy’s real source of “comfort” is here is the trolling, I mostly just find it pitiful.
What he sounds like to me is a child who desperately wants boundaries, but instead all he’s ever been given is horseshit about “freedom”, and now he’s just confused and lost and lacks the emotional tools to understand why he’s an object of contempt.
Trolls are trying to get told off. They understand that people find them disgusting, but no one is honest about why, and it makes them (understandably) bitter. The rest of us shouldn’t have to waste our time putting these people through remedial pre-K, but it’s probably the only thing that would eventually work.
Any time I see an article on any site which has a title beginning “Florida Man…” I know I’m in for a story involving either weird, ignorant, dickish, or a combination of all three. Every. Time.
Doubtful. The percentage of adults who dramatically change personalities and intelligence levels late into life, in my experience, is a very small minority. Not zero but approaching it.
You might want to qualify that statement slightly.
Thanks to Alzheimer’s and various other flavors of dementia a depressingly large chunk of adults will experience a dramatic change in personality and intelligence level late into life, if they live long enough.
Now, as for changes driven by learning experiences, especially if you have a specific outcome in mind; yeah, that’s a lot less common.
Turning Turmp supporters into Maya Angelou would be a stretch. But it’d be enough to convince them to knock it off, and I think that could be doable in some proportion of cases.
It’s easy to fall into assuming, because the consequences are so enormous, that belief in Turmpism must run very deep. But really, the person who can support something that vacuous is one who fervently agrees with whatever they last saw on the teevee. So they are trainable, if anyone from outside their Foxbook bubble is willing to put on a hazmat suit and wade on in there.
