I have trouble discerning when people are doing bits vs genuinely asking questions irl and online it's just hank-realization

going to play basketball with your treatler friends (if you're a boy, with high probability most of these other little treatlers are also boys) and bullshitting with eachother to see who can verbalize the edgiest insult in the group is not exactly touching grass, but I think is common enough that similar experiences could explain the difference

the belief that people of different sexes couldn't be friends without someone wanting sex (regardless of reciprocation) was pervasive when I was a young person and I expect people have only grown more attached to the illusion as time proceeds, so (at least in amerikkka) there's also this social pressure to congregate with people of the same sex when "hanging out with friends", which probably amplifies the effect

This one hurts so much inside because when I respond with "doing that for the past 20 years is how we got here! how do you not see this?!" I'm the bad guy

Okay now for the serious and consequential analysis that I know hexbear.net is famous for:

will this make talking to my extremely liberal and moderately intellectually lazy parents easier, harder, or a mix?

House Judiciary Committee votes to allow deportation (read: expulsion) of American Citizens

Will the explicit (i.e. congressional consent for) lack of due process in the mass deportations further radicalize the libs or at least make it easier to convince my parents that the dems are not on their side?
