  • Well, the tanks are replaced with ICE vehicles

  • No? My electric kettle takes like 3-4 minutes to boil the same volume I can boil in 1.5-2 on the stove. Hell I can get enough for one cup of tea boiling in like, 1 minute.

  • Is there a reference I'm not getting? Guerilla action is grassroots, but there's non-guerilla grassroots action

  • I'd consider that a subset.

  • I've been a gun owner for like 6 months, and it did not take me long to go from 1 to 3.

  • Totally replaced by having an induction stove. Regular kettle boils in like 2 minutes, never really use the electric kettle anymore.

  • Ah, respect. Though I think you could slip "or by the trigger" without much fuss.

    My point is that the song is topical enough to warrant practical commentary.

  • What's your point?

  • It's not that weird if you remember money

  • Practice appropriate trigger safety. Come with a readied weapon obviously, but keep that finger off the trigger until the split second before it's necessary.

  • Twist: those are psych researchers, and he is in the experimental group.

  • Yeah tankie praxis only works if you actually have the tanks. And not just some tanks, the tanks. You need the military apparatus of the state, and its associated monopoly on violence, to make that work.

    It was never going to work when the opponent is the existing military. It's gotta be grassroots, nothing else is gonna work. Build your community. Like actually, do it.

  • I don't get this perspective. Obviously being gay is a "bad thing" in these contexts because the person in question is vocally homophobic. The insult isn't being gay, the insult is being a hypocrite.

  • Fingers crossed hoping this was always the plan

  • The theory I've read is that lots of people are into a bit of the taboo/forbidden partner aspect of an attraction they have toward a real person in their life: their neighbor, platonic friend, co-worker, etc. But most of these connections don't really feel all that taboo when it's someone else, so the "step-" angle is just a generic stand in that carries the forbidden aspect without going too far.

  • Eh, Hanlon's Razor. There are certainly plenty of dirty neo-libs, but I also think the Democratic party is where passionate, practical minded, progressive political science types wind up, and I think that demographic is well-meaning but caught up in metrics.

    Metrics rely on historical data. Obviously Biden should be the candidate, he's an incumbent, and incumbents have an advantage. The problem is the sample size is too low (n = 47) to really control for most variables. Especially since when you consider the study longitudinally, n = 1.

    Anyway, politics is hard, and I'm willing to give a little grace to those who are least trying to be smart. Strategists seem like the smart move, but the big paradox of analyzing a quickly-changing subject is that the more data-backed your strategy, the more outdated it is. The world moves too fast now.

    I suspect a not-insignificant segment of the caucus has been been just sincerely trying to play the right moves.
