Hot take: liking your stuff and not liking your stuff aren’t any better than the other; they’re just personal preferences like best burger in town, which James Bond is best, and every other endlessly debatable subjective opinion.

I like stuff, right up until I have to move. Then I hate every purchase decision I’ve ever made.

But cat doesn’t like your things.

That’s the plasticity of the brain at work. The regions of the brain normally devoted to processing visual stimuli are re-tasked with processing auditory ones instead (among others). Your brain is constantly building a sensory map of the world around you, and it isn’t formed from any one sense, but an amalgam of all…

There’s a great episode of This American Life that features a young man who literally has perfected echo location to the point where he can ride a bike in traffic.

GASP! It’s almost as if you can be legally/functionally blind but still have limited sight for things like movement, etc.!

Here, I would like to recommend Against the Pollution of the I (yes; it’s French). It is a fascinating book that recounts the life of a resistance fighter against the Nazis — who survived a concentration camp — who was blind since a boyhood accident.

These True Bernie Believers are so far up Bernie’s ass, they cannot admit that anything he did was wrong. I have never heard any of them accept their god has any flaws or weaknesses. That’s why they are so butthurt, because they are angry that we could not see how wonderful and perfect Bernie was. It’s like talking to…

The ambition thing is also tied to sexism. Nobody ever says of a male candidate that he wants the job “too much”. A woman shouldn’t appear too eager, and she should let men take the lead— it’s just like the ancient dating manuals.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never understood why ambition is a bad thing. I want a President who wants be there, not some idiot who lucked into the position and has a questionable understanding of the executive branch’s powers, thanks.

The entire section where you accused her of tying it to her identity.

She’s also a cunning politician, and maybe she is more aware than we are of how readily her presence in what’s currently going on would be used to discredit the movement as partisanship.

Did you live in an alternate reality for this election campaign? Gracefully consistent is not at all how I would describe Bernie Sander’s behavior this past year.

Bullshit. Bernie dragged the primary on when it was beyond obvious he lost. He was butt hurt and would not let it go. He still thinks he would have beaten Trump. All politicians have egos and she is no different but vaginas are supposed to keep thier emotions in check amirite.

No matter what she does, people move the bar. She’s enough. She’s not going to be everything YOU want her to be ever, but she’s poised, lovely, brilliant, and yes, bad ass, and she’s enough.

Yeah... this is how the Left eats itself....

LOL, robotic.

It was snidely noted by some that Clinton did not make an appearance at the Women’s March, though her former opponent Bernie Sanders did.

also, 100% correct on it being wise for her to watch from home. If she’d attended, all hell would have broken loose politically and it would have hurt the cause. Additionally, I don’t doubt that any number of psychos would have tried to take her out and caused a ton of collateral damage... #cynicism

I’m still with her.
