I could never have the opposite politics of my spouse. Sure, we may disagree slightly on some matters an nuance, but a world view in direct conflict with mine would be irreconcilable.
My partner is just slightly less left than me and I struggle with it some days. I can’t even imagine trying to date someone on the other side.
Sometimes I think about dating again after so long, and I imagine my girlfriend wanting to wiretap our place with an Alexa in the kitchen.
My wife finally gave when the latest round of spying stuff happened. I’ve been trying to get around to building new ones for home assistant that all happen on prem, but there’s a lot of knowledge gap there.
If we’re talking about politics like loudness ordinances and funding for road projects and whether the fire department needs a millage we can share the same values or same values with different priority orders no problem on the different politics.
If we’re talking about whether some people deserve rights or racism or if laws don’t apply to some people then it’s more than a politics difference, it’s a values difference.
When politics felt like shades of policy disagreements I could see it. Now it is either you support democracy and human rights or you’re supporting pedophiles and genocide. Not much common ground anymore.
Seriously I don’t understand how some people can handle their best friend and roommate being a POS
- Fear of making near friends / difficulty making the new friends
- Actual naivety of thinking the POS behaviour doesn’t matter
- Weirdly, peer pressure from other people? For instance you might want to distance yourself from one friend and you are then peer pressured to be in situations with them more often by the other friends, told to build your tolerance of them
… 1 + 2 also applies to romantic relationships!
Edit: just realised ‘best friend AND roomate’ is just a way of referring to a spouse. But there it is, there’s the low-down in my opinion.
You bond over other shared interests, like video games and drinking.
As silly as bonding over race, especially when we disagree on basic morality, but that’s sadly what happens. 😔
It’s almost always that the girl is also a POS but knows she wouldn’t have friends if she lived her truth.
Almost, but sometimes also they are just in an abusive relationship and haven’t figured it out yet.
A lot of religious folks “don’t believe in divorce.” So even if the relationship isn’t abusive, they may be incompatible as a couple but just stick with it.
Yeah, I once talked with a woman who spent several decades being married to a guy who was physically and emotionally abusive to her, but made it clear that she would never leave him because she had promised to stay with him for live at her wedding, but it was okay because things would be better in heaven for her anyway, but not so good for him.
It made me really sad…
That is literally heartbreaking and a prime example of why religion causes far more harm than good.
It’s hard for me to imagine someone being that clueless but I am surprised every single day.
Is salon conservative? Liberal? Something else? Im not really getting the joke here.
I think the point is that she’s just a normal women, sharing uncontroversial articles. And there is this other half of the couple you just wonder about how someone could possibly see something in let alone put up with him.
I’m personally reminded of the parents of a childhood acquaintance, with a nice mom and a father that couldn’t even be asked to close the bathroom door when guest were there.
I read it more as that you can not talk to her about anything but beauty products, so she doesn’t have the capacity to comprehend how much of an asshole her other half is
a third of hetero males in hetero relationships are the most racist man alive?
They made a lot of those T-Shirts, they were on sale at Walmart, 14 for $0.88
Recent US election results don’t contradict the assertion.
If we’re going off election results it would be nearly two thirds of white men and more than half of white women so YMMV depending on which part of the country you’re in.

That’s my sister and husband.
your sister is your husband?
I think he means his sister reads salon and his husband is racist and also his husband and his sister are in a relationship too, it’s a classic polycule isotope.
He was poking fun at the framing. It should have been “my sister and her husband”
“My sister and husband” has the same grammatical framing as “my friend and classmate”. It denotes the same person.
Yes, I understood the joke, my comment was also a joke that it could be interpreted as “my sister and my husband”
I need that shirt.
The lady probably feels the same way, she just knows better than to be honest about it because she’s better socialised.
“But I never heard him say racist things to me and my family”
Is that AI slop? One of the ugliest comics I’ve seen. A true “shit post”.
It’s not AI slop. The artist’s work and style is well-established.
Ugly ass crap.
Please do show us your comic strip work so that we might compare and contrast your styles?
No. I’m entitled to an opinion whether or not less cultured swine like it or not.
