The reality behind this whole back-and-forth is both banal and awful, political prisoners have been slopified and turned into content for a game of truth-elliding oneupsmanship between Trump and the Iranian regime.

the funniest imaginable answer to this would be if Mackenzie was giving a bunch of money to space research and it’s purely the desperate oneupsmanship of a pathetic divorced guy

“Competitive authoritarianism” sounds like a concept that might describe how ostensibly warring authoritarian states authoritarianize themselves in mimetic oneupsmanship, but it’s not. It’s about how in nominal democracies people regularly vote for fascism.
not mentioned in this screenshot but appearing later in the article is that the US is sharing details of the deportees with the Iranian government, despite many of them having fled after resisting the regime that the US is ostensibly fighting a war to remove
Hell simply isn’t hot enough

I prefer "oneupsmanship," but autocorrect did its thing and I didn't have the energy to reinsert the s.

Pragmatism is the approach of *actual organizers* to accomplishing *actual things* in contrast to the social media oneupsmanship of “you are only not the enemy if you have a reading list identical to mine and are in fact merely a projection of me instead of an actual human with a background.”

I just can't even with the oneupsmanship on weather in social.
Tier 1: Stay aware, be prepared, follow the forecast changes. Uncertainty is high.
Tier 2: NOT A FORECAST, but right now some models show it could be as bad as XYZ that killed scores of people in 18 aught 7
Tier 3: You're going to die.

not to engage in oneupsmanship about it but the previous answer has proven insufficient, I think Hayao Miyazaki should be allowed to kill like 3 people AT LEAST

Because for Americans, everything is a competition and a game of oneupsmanship. And because they fear anyone different from themselves.

I didn't really think that my brain could get any more dysfunctional than it already was. "forgetting how to do the thing it does automatically in order to keep your body alive" is an impressive bit of oneupsmanship.

the 'gamification' of dating was/is the pits. the mental gymnastics of oneupsmanship and sneaky shit was just too much. i don't know how y'all do it.
A lot of ppl make this relationship shit harder than it needs to be. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how to genuinely be good to ppl. Folks are just selfish and self-centered
