Well Done Democrats

[Argonheart_Po]

You’ve worked extremely hard to lock down the Trigglypuff vote, and I think you’ve achieved your aim. Well done.

But one must ask, at what cost of even slightly more moderate voters?

Internet Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists

In this month's issue of Personality and Individual Differences, a study was published that confirms what we all suspected: Internet trolls are horrible people.

Let's start by getting our definitions straight: An Internet troll is someone who comes into a discussion and posts comments designed to upset or disrupt the conversation. Often, in fact, it seems like there is no real purpose behind their comments except to upset everyone else involved. Trolls will lie, exaggerate, and offend to get a response.

What kind of person would do this? Some Canadian researchers decided to find out.

They conducted two online studies with over 1,200 people, giving personality tests to each subject along with a survey about their Internet commenting behavior. They were looking for evidence that linked trolling with the "Dark Tetrad" of personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism.

They found that Dark Tetrad scores were highest among people who said trolling was their favorite Internet activity. To get an idea of how much more prevalent these traits were among Internet trolls, see this figure from the paper:

Look at how low the Dark Tetrad scores are for everyone except the trolls! Their scores for all four traits soar on the chart. The relationship between trolling and the Dark Tetrad is so significant that the authors write in their paper:

"... the associations between sadism and GAIT (Global Assessment of Internet Trolling) scores were so strong that it might be said that online trolls are prototypical everyday sadists." [emphasis added]

Trolls truly enjoy making you feel bad. To quote the authors once more (because this is a truly quotable article): "Both trolls and sadists feel sadistic glee at the distress of others. Sadists just want to have fun ... and the Internet is their playground!"

The next time you encounter a troll online, remember:

These trolls are some truly difficult people.
It is your suffering that brings them pleasure, so the best thing you can do is ignore them.

Corn Flakes
Ingredients

1 1/2 cups cornmeal, divided
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cups water
Directions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Grease lightly with oil.
Whisk together 1 cup of cornmeal, sugar, and salt. Add the vanilla extract and water a little at a time, stirring until the batter is smooth and thin. Add a little additional water if the mixture is too dry. You want it to be like pancake batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread out evenly.
Combine the remaining 1/2 cup with 1 teaspoon of water. Mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Sprinkle the batter in the pan with the cornmeal crumbs. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the dough has dried and cracked.
Remove the tray from the oven and lower the heat to 250F. Let the pan cool, then tear and crack the dough into small flakes. Return the pan to the oven and let bake for about 45 minutes, or until toasted, crisp, and golden.
Let cool completely before using.
Enjoy!

I see three of our resident snowflakes are triggered again.

Surprising!

But it's a legitimate question.

The tards should be cruising to a HUGE victory in November.

I bet they find a way to fuck it up. In fact, they probably already have, as the OP insinuates.

[Godjira]

Trigglypuff? 2014 called. They want their meme back.

[Godjira]

[Argonheart_Po]

You boys and girls shouldn’t get triggered by this news.

The polls are in. You’ve sewn up 95% of the blue-haired she-mammoth vote. The masked Antifa trust funder support is not far behind. And you’ve got the wailing independent bookstore owners and hessian bag carriers in your back pocket.

Middle America. Not so much.

[Godjira]

You boys have gotten 100% of the rape-hungry cracker vote.

Middle America, not so much.

[Argonheart_Po]

Bearded ladies are trending Democrat too.

[Godjira]

The 30-year-old virgin vote is all sewn up thanks to the Kavanaugh nomination.

And the translucent ghoul vote:



So white, they shimmer.

[Godjira]

He's coming for you, and he's going to touch you

[Argonheart_Po]

Bearded ladies are trending Democrat too.

As are keffiyeh wearers.

Er.....................................Why is South African/Englishman, who lives in Australia posting about US Democrats?

I wonder does he see them all as being Socialists and Marxists, and so part of the 'Modern Left' that like Swedish meatballs also??
