  • Not everything that takes effort is work.

    If you want to do those things and it takes effort then it is just effort. If it is an obligation because the relationship will collapse if you don’t put in more effort than you want to put in, then it is work. People have different levels of effort they want to put into a relationship, and if there is a mismatch it will create work for one of them if they drag it out and that is going to put a ton of strain on the relationship.

    A little work is fine as long as the overall relationship is good, but if most interactions are work then it is a terrible relationship.





  • I don’t know where the argument that he has some kind of Magic Secret Fascism Sauce comes from.

    Charisma isn’t a universal thing, it is about appealing to a large chunk of the population but not the population as a while. In this case he has been the face for the fascist MAGA movement for like a decade now with people who constantly ignore how his policies harm them directly and still support him. He has charisma when it comes to hateful morons who want to hear a fat old white dude spout the racist shit in their heads without any kind of moral compass that would lead to being embarrassed.

    They won’t follow Vance because Vance doesn’t have the same belligerent and arrogant delivery despite saying the same hateful stuff because it is clear Vance is a try hard spineless wanna be grifter and not someone who has been an entitled shit their entire lives because they were born into wealth. Vance isn’t the strongman that the Republican party has been stoked to follow.
