  • Democrats are Surrounded by Low Hanging Fruit: Get To It

    Jump

  • Under normal circumstances with everyday people, I try to make generous assumptions and "never ascribe to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity."

    But in the case of the Democratic party, I have a hard time believing that everybody in the Democratic leadership is that stupid, which leaves only the possibility that their continued failure is intentional

  • Is there any non-zero possibility Musk was not doing a Hitler Salute?

  • I'm not saying that just because someone says you're gay, you can't correct them without being homophobic. I'm saying that the people that people that go out of their way to make sure everyone knows they're not gay, who get offended at the idea of being mistaken for gay are acting homophobic.

    I grew up in approximately the same era as you in a very conservative area, and yeah, there was a lot of homophobic behavior and slurs. But if someone asked if I was gay in this day and age, I think anything more than a quick correction is over-reacting.

    But hey, that's just my opinion; you're welcome to yours. Have a good day friend!

  • And if they work that hard to make sure everyone knows they're not gay, then bonus! You also found out that they're homophobic.

  • German translator caught on hot mic complaining about Trump inauguration speech: How much longer 'with this s–t?'

  • I don't know; Vance is even slimier and has more devout and regressive religious beliefs, so Trump dying actually might make things worse (as satisfying as it might be)

  • I, uh... I concur

  • Seven Tenets for life, friend! Card-carrying member over here, and yes, I too distance myself from the leadership. But that's the thing; flawed people can still have a positive impact on the world

  • I teach college chemistry, and half the time it's to STEM majors that see the obvious applications, but the other half the time, my students are going into nursing or other "STEM-adjacent" fields and I try and try to get them to see that the applications are there, if they just look, but many of them never do.

  • Australia has no strategic importance to Russia, therefore Trump doesn't care about it.

  • You could be mixing up correlation and causation. The divorce could have happened for any number of reasons and the ensuing loneliness and alienation could have been what led the husband to seek validation in manosphere bullshit

  • An old character actor who became somewhat relevant again when Family Guy referenced him and he voiced his own character, but then he turned out to be a racist piece of shit.

  • Religion, to me, is no more than parables that teach good questionable morals.

    Ftfy.

  • There's fucking ads in board games now

    Jump

  • That's fair. I'd say it's easier on the GM, but asks more of the other players

    edit: Plus, there are free digital tools for doing that planning that that are super robust and easy to use. I find myself using Pathbuilder to plan out characters I know I'll never have a chance to play.

  • Fair. I try to take that approach, too, but I still don't like the cognitive dissonance of knowing someone I respect as an artist is a piece of shit. I can ignore it a bit if they evolved into an asshole over time (like I can still listen to early Kanye, barely), but I still don't like it and it colors my appreciation of their work.

  • Isn’t Killer Mike one of those “black capitalism can save us” type guys anyway? Because that kind of tracks with him.

    Maybe? I don't know much about his personality or politics, but I would have said a lot of RTJ songs are fairly strongly anti-capitalist ("Ju$t," "Report to Shareholders," etc.). But maybe that's just me projecting my own anti-capitalist beliefs on their lyrics.

    Honestly at this point that’s how I feel about most artists in general.

    Yeah, as my politics get more progressive/radical, it's gotten to the point where I either have to listen to stuff that's almost explicitly apolitical (mostly stoner/doom metal songs about death in battle, wizards, and weed work pretty well) or else I actively avoid reading about the artists so I can pretend they're more progressive than they are.
