  • To be fair, it wasn’t the attitude that destroyed the infrastructure. Despite people’s attitude toward taxes, they still paid. The problem is precisely that they don’t like where that money is going. In most cases, their taxes are just funding a trust fund baby’s extra paycheck while they sit in office and neglect their duties while discussing divisive politics to distract from the fact that they are robbing the American people. A lot of people aren’t against the idea of paying taxes, but rather America’s inability to appropriately spend money on the common good.



  • Belittle isn’t feminine. It’s gender neutral and not quite the same. The difference between the phrasing is subtle, but there. Belittling is when we try to make someone feel less important or to just disparage them. To emasculate someone is to paint them as less masculine or weak. We do have a reverse of emasculating, though. Which, we dont really have a term I know of to describe the de-feminizing of a woman. Fortunately, society seems to mostly depart from the more toxic views as it pertains to less feminine women now than before, but largely the opposite view is still dominant in most of the world when it comes to men.









  • Exactly! It’s an 8 minute turn of watching an opponent set up their entire board to instantly win, or pass the turn and counter all your chains with traps, then win the next turn xD. Mostly the first, though traptrix was more of a 2 turn win. Overall, it was absolutely silly. The spider assessment is 100% accurate here. Hoop jumping with cards to just say “I win” without even playing. Keeping a person captive for 8 minutes because you won rock paper scissors to show off your pretty cardboard collection is just dumb xD.
