It’s not over.  But people who are going to call themselves Progressives are directly at a decision point.  I’m growing tired  (although I won’t stop) of supporting those causes while they insist on shooting themselves in their own feet and parrot RNC strategies out loud and without irony.  You either care about these…

In this day and age I tend to always go with a little of column A and a little of column B. Yes, there are authentic Kamala voters like authentic Sanders voters who have a seething hatred for Biden. However, whatever number actually exists of them, they are greatly amplified by external actors that see liberal…

Get ready for the think pieces if Trump gets reelected at how this is actually the fault of Biden, moderates, and white women.

Maybe for Democrats. The Republicans elected 2 Bush’s and neither of them are particularly interesting. Maybe I should amend Democrats to liberal/progressives right now since there seems to be some sort of existential crisis going on right now with the former moniker.

Like parties, it just requires rethinking. I rig up a camera and play remotely with people but there’s a trick to that.

That’s rather disingenuous as the primary reason he purchased the rights was so the distributor he just sold it to wouldn’t lose money having acquired it just before the news broke and it was very likely they couldn’t find buyers.

Yep. I suspect Warren’s problem more than anything is Sanders. I don’t mean that as a dig on Sanders, but a lot of her positions are his positions only she’s put more thought into them. Sanders complained last cycle because he had no brand and eventually built one.

It did for me too - although I was a huge fan of Malenko, Benoit, Guerrero, and Jericho from their earlier days. Seeing it happen to such “working class” wrestlers who were just getting to the point they were making it - I can’t say why but I just stopped being interested after that.

I don’t know why I’m somewhat terrified of the Benoit documentary. I’m like others where I never really watched wrestling after it and everything I’d heard about Chris was he was a gentle man and sweet but intense. I feel like I can’t view his crime without bringing up the CTE. But at the same time, I have no idea how…

The issue is always about what is earned vs. what isn’t. Every start of a story you can set the pieces any way you want to - it’s the writers choice.

Yes - But how is this a new thing? Before there were review bombs, people were meming this stuff. Before people were meming this stuff, people would “think piece” games to death. And before that people had message boards where people just “decided” what was good and what wasn’t largely based on if the people they…

Hasn’t this already been tied to environmental factors though? As in, IVF may be required in the future but really we need to start looking at what’s going on in our environment so that men and women aren’t killing their children’s testosterone level before they leave the womb?

Yea I’m all for people having choice in their lives but I’m not sure why lawmakers don’t think men have choices.

Like - yes, you do not need to hook up with some guy you don’t want to to have kids. No, guys do not need to give up the goods because someone wants to have children just not with a partner.

Sure he does. He hired the editor. At the end of the day, it’s been weird to see Lucas go from almost being worshiped to being the source of everything that’s wrong with Star Wars. The fact is he isn’t a good director or writer, but he’s a phenomenal visionary. He had the right parts for the OT. He had the wrong parts…

I think the problem is I don’t think the TV “arc” is where Book “arc” was ever going. D&D capitalized on the Internets perhaps overfascination with specific side characters such as Brienne. A lot of what made Book Jamie and Brienne work is Jamie was human, not the total monster we assumed he was.

To some extent I suspect what this will do is make it easier.  By not allowing roles to essentially be substituted they now just need to worry about balancing characters amongst their individual roles and remove any cross-role synergies that break the game.  They will no longer have to worry about an game-breaking …

Wait... People are assholes?!

I wish they’d just implemented role queue a long time ago. Let that freaking Genji and widow main wait 6 hours for their game and let the people who are willing to play supports and tanks get in as many games as possible.

The problem with GOATS was not that it couldn’t be beaten. It was that the amount of effort and precision needed to beat the GOATS comp far exceeded what was required to play a GOATS comp.

It’s also often thought that a judge (just look at the result) may be looked at to deliver a more favorable sentence than a jury, who itself, depending on the circumstances may be expected to become more enraged and overshoot.
