Spoiler alert - they actually fuck the trump supporters because they dont go actively quizzing their dates politically.

I know - shocking right? The real world exists outside of your partisan single forever alone bubble.

Really? Because around me, the only people with political yard signs still up are the butthurt TRUMP 2020 (&/or 2024...) magas.

Not to mention the ranty nutcases in stores going on and on about facemasks and fake china virus, and how the vaccine being forced and taking free will away.

Great, segregate yourself w/ all like minded hateful idiots. You are what you loathe.
Yes, because it is widely known that conservatives make every and all efforts to mingle and date political oppositionists?

Both of you idiot clowns can shut the fuck up.

It's true, we are hateful, we do hate racist ignorant douchebag fucks. Trumphumpers are immoral scum, why try to spend valuable and potential intimate time with a regressive asshole? It's not like I'm not exposed to a Trumphumpers point of view, I see them all the time expressing their nasty thoughts online or in the media. Why waste my time in 3 dimensional land with them too? That would be really stupid. Relationships are built on shared values, Trumpies don't have good values.

Evolution in action? 😄
However, the reverse of your situation probably applies in other parts of the country. So people have to be a Trump supporter to get a date.


So just pretend to be stupid and racist then you'll be getting some in no time? :p

New Haven may not be NYC but a lot of the same things are true here.

I wouldn't fuck a "Trumpette" with a dogs dick .... unless she was supper-hot! ;)

And for any kind of relationship beyond "getting it wet" I'm not sure what anyone stupid enough to support Trump after 2020 could possibly have to offer that I would want.

Yep, there's a few die hard dumb dumbs with their trump gear still setup. Who knows, maybe they lost their boot straps and can't get up the gumption to take it down

You sincerely have no clue what you're talking about and... Like I said.... Will be forever alone... And thank the fuck christ.

The world doesn't work like you think it does inside your bubble.

What are you blathering on about? Social and political values are some of the strongest values we hold as humans. Why should I not want to filter my potential significant other by having shared values in this regard? I think it's YOU that doesn't know how the world works. This isn't like the days when people had some disagreements in policy, those days are long gone and Trump is an amoral piece of filth and the lines have been drawn. If you look past those flaws to vote for him, or those flaws in fact appeal to you, YOU have a major character flaw integral to you and why the hell should I waste my precious time investing to create a relationship with one of those people, when I have a bajillion other options that see right through him and the ideology he values?

Please tell me, why should I waste my time trying to get involved with a woman who thinks Trump was good enough to vote for? How the fuck is valuing my time not knowing how the world works?

It's pretty funny, some of the biggest douchebags on the forum stating you are alone, living in a 'bubble' of only a majority that is 81 million people that voted against Trump, while dating regularly and finding like minded folks on the regular to spend quality time with. What insecure dbags they are.

Conservatives are delusional twats. Yet another thread proving so. Add it to the list.

This seemed like a bad idea for a thread in the first place. Not surprising it became a vitriol-throwing match.

Usually people get together because they have demographic characteristics in common, and that usually leads to roughly similar politics. That's just how it works. Don't see the point in railing against it.

Very occasionally it works out differently, usually when there are different political directions a given demographic group is torn between - e.g. a childhood friend had a mother who was a solid Labour supporter while his dad defected to the (far-right) National Front. Both were part of working class culture (the marriage didn't last very long after that though).

Or people with different backgrounds can _think_ they have the same politics...but ultimately turn out not to, because those underlying different backgrounds push them in different directions when circumstances change.

Families with huge political disagreements are kind of intriguing though. You wonder how they came to be like that.

Usually it seems to be siblings that end up on opposing sides. We just had all these mad anti-vaxx anti-lockdown demos, many of them attended by climate-change-denier and anti-vaxxer Peirs Corbyn, brother of (supposed) hard-leftist Jeremy. Do wonder how their family get-togethers go. I gather Boris Johnson's family are all 'remainers'.

For some reason that sort of going-to-opposite-extremes seems particularly common with posh families, e.g. Chris and Peter Hitchens, or the Mitford sisters.

These people are nuts. It's not like putting yourself into a tiny little slice of a demographic cult of people you approve of being your significant other and that's it; it's pulling from a massive, and majority, pool of people who realized what a piece of garbage this guy was. This ain't rocket science.

I'm not looking for someone to do brief business with, but someone to spend a lot of quality time with. Apparently they take offense if people won't consider trash. Trump=trash. Trump supporters=trash supporters. I guess they are just defensive about that.

Kinda sad really. So invested, can't move on.

One guy had this ranty handwritten plywood sign about Sleepy Joe and Chyna stealing election and blah blah blah....

It's not changing anyone's opinions, other than of him personally.

Yeah I have a low energy guy near me who still has his Trump/Pence sign up.
Only one moderate sized sign but regardless at this point it is simply low energy, low T thing to keep up.

Isn't it bad luck to keep your election decorations up after the 12th night of the election?

Down here (Phoenix metro area) it seemed like most of the Turmphumpers didn't put up signs until after he fucking lost.

Mixed. Some just stayed up.
Some stayed up, then disappeared when it got ugly.
Some 2024 signs went up by the truly Bitter Betsy's

Hilariously, some put up massive 4x8' homemade TRUMP PENCE billboards...
.. which were modified to I PUMP PENIS by vandals

Not gonna lie, I almost died laughing driving by one farm with some old farmer lady trying to scrub spray paint off her shitty sign... only for it to be tagged again 2 days later. Went on for two weeks.

Wait, Bumble is a dating app? Didn’t they just have an IPO?? Why did I think they were a B2B SaaS company doing big data/AI/ML stuff???
Publishing ML articles, in my opinion, should be done merely to maintain researcher satisfaction while also demonstrating their capacity as research workhorses to draw in new, capable researchers. The study articles can appear random, but they are almost certainly connected to a technology or product that they are developing behind the scenes or hoping to make a reality in the future.

Additionally, today's ML culture is incredibly collaborative. I have no idea what it was like in the 1990s.
