And yea, takes a certain type of person to even make a joke with that as its content. Regardless of whom the joke is referring too.
Why bring that here? To have this type of conversation, again. Gets stale. Try to trigger, respond with insults, rinse repeat. Narcissism isn't a culture.
Just enlighten me, what type of person does it take to make a joke like this? Give us your thoughts, you made me curious.
Unfortunately, we live in times when a certain segment of society is attempting to normalize misogyny in all its forms. And where do such efforts get you? In New York City, over the last month, one or more men have been roaming the streets randomly punching women in the face. I don't know what kind of man finds humor in such a state of affairs. I don't want to know. But, in a strange way, I am thankful when they publicly identify themselves through their words, innuendos and "jokes." It's like they've done all the work of isolating themselves for and from the rest of us.
THIS. It's less about the bridges joke than it is a general love of the red-pill/'maniverse' concepts. Like calling someone a snowflake for quitting a toxic cesspool like twitter because an objectively awful person bought it (flirting with anti-semitism, pro-putin stance, lying to investors, not paying his sub-contractors, stopping rent payments on the twitter building, the many children with different women [which we kill athletes for], i could go on). It's a narrow minded view of the world where "I am right and everyone else needs to get out of their internet bubble" or "San Francisco is a helluva drug" and "not the real world" and "the real world is laughing at you"
The cognitive dissonance here is one-way. It's the people thinking everyone in SF is in a 'bubble' or 'not in a real place.' The rest of the world isn't laughing at SF, it's saving up money to visit during a holiday or week off. Or move here for the jobs, weather and lifestyle. These aren't 'opinions' but supported by ever-increasing housing prices and millions of tourists that come here yearly.
I'm also not american. I grew up in the former soviet union and lived and worked, for years, in independent Ukraine. I've also spent a good amount of time in other countries and have close friends who hail from everywhere else (from Japan to Bangladesh). In large part
because I came to SF as a kid and was exposed to people from everywhere else in the world. In fact, most places outside the US (or even major US urban areas) are bubbles. Most countries (and american rural counties) have 1 overwhelming majority in terms of ethnic group, religious identity and political preference. That is the definition of a bubble.
