Well, beauty is a social construct as well, and yet plastic surgery is a massive industry, with shifting trends as well.
Social construct does not mean entirely abstract, but in dialectic exchange with material reality.

Fucking cognitohazards in this subreddit, and I lost the game too, great.
You are correct - this will be about the undecided and independent vote. And yes, signalling in the coming days will be important, focus on Trumps lies and obvious deflections.
That doesn’t change that Biden did not do a good job, and that that will make things a lot harder. It’s not the commies and hard lefties, the “useful idiots” in your eyes, that dominate the discourse, it will be pundits and just your everyday Joes talking to each other. And they have not been given good material from the Democrats with Biden, it’s going to be hard work to counter what is an intuitively understood truth with the average watcher: Biden did not do well and left so much on the table, where he could have done a better job attacking Trump on his obvious deflections and lies. The hope is, that maybe the common undecided voter has become tired of Trump’s shtick, countering the surface-level feelings.
That was ironically the best summary of the damn debate. Two out of touch liches talking about golf.
I wonder how the liberals feel now, that pushed Biden on electability and rejected any more radical options because they were too scary and conflicting with the party line.
He got a little more energetic, but not enough, really.
“We had H2O”, what is he even talking about? It’s scary to realise his cult just accepts anything he says.
And then a confused attack on Trump on climate change that was so softball and not to the point… oof… Biden, why?
Of course, Trump completely deflects on the climate change question.
Well, Biden’s Charlottesville attack on Trump wasn’t too bad all things considered, Trump did deflect of course, but maybe it invigorated the old fart.
If he gets angry enough to get some more strength into his voice and inflection, who knows, he might not crash completely. It seems a little different than in the beginning at least right now.
That would be an interesting outcome. I doubt it, but if it were to happen, I don’t think it would have been planned, just a panic reaction.
Danke, schlussendlich waren Pubertät und junges Erwachsenenalter das Schlimmste und das hab ich hinter mir. Mal schauen was weiter kommt im Leben :)
It just goes to show, that rhetoric and charisma are important. They aren’t the only important thing, but Jesus, if you have good points to make but can’t make them properly, you will be bulldozed.
Why is there no fact-checking on air? Why even have moderation if they do nothing to challenge the two?
Oh my lord, I will never, ever understand how and why Democrats argued that Biden was “the more electable” candidate. This is painful.
Strangely enough, this is often the exact other way around for me, but it heavily depends on the true crime documentary. Horror movies, for the most part, leave me apathetic. My brain has problems to suspend disbelief for them - especially when they rely on supernatural elements. So many horror movies are more enjoyable surreal films, while reading or hearing about truly horrible events in real life can disturb me quite a lot sometimes.
Nice, this one has an optical illusion movement effect for me when scrolling or moving my eyes!
Tiefer Respekt. Hab bisher nur einmal ca. 18 Monate geschafft. Dann kam ein stressiger Tag und eine Gelegenheit mit Freunden die rauchen und Drehzeug haben - und bleh, jetzt bin ich wieder locker bei 10-20 am Tag :/
Aber ich geb die Hoffnung nicht auf dass ich auch wieder in einer stabileren Phase wie damals auch wieder aufhören schaffe - diesmal nach Möglichkeit für immer.
Really, the big problem are the instability from ripple effects. How will the world react to massive migrant crises and new, more intense conflict? To increasing economic recessions and the breaking away of old privileges? All things we are already seeing and that won’t go away anytime soon.
Now, total extinction of the species, yeah, that is very unlikely, unless something really unexpected happens. But throwing us potentially back centuries in progress, and killing a majority of people? A nuclear exchange from escalating tensions could create something like that.
Oh, I get that one. Might lose me some brownie points with some of my fellow communists, but I think they overestimate their own influence and overly moralise the questions when they talk about Biden. Personally, I think the important thing is moving towards communism by making organisation of the working people possible, and that will be forced much more into the underground under another Trump presidency. To me, the one question on my mind is: How can this situation be further used for empowering an eventual revolutionary change, ultimately, it is about power.
As a bonus point: I do think Biden winning might bait the fascists into doing something stupid, like armed revolts which they are certainly not ready for yet, potentially weakening them further, and moving some moderates into openly antifascist organisations.
