I get where you’re going with this, but it really needs to be “on the shore of a dark Scottish lake many miles away” for your allusion to have the synchronicity you’re looking for.

It always gets me when I see this on NBA games. Or 3 point goggles.

Isn’t there a famous clip of Obama counting down to his middle finger, noticing, laughing, and then moving on?

Actually it does, but no one here is interested in that.

Does his explanation track?  (i.e. Did he flash a hand sign in the two days before indicating a 1 and then a 2?)  If so, then I’m fine with his explanation.

Oh man, I thought gaslighting was already gone. Half the time I see it anymore, I’m like “I think that was just a regular old disagreement, not a systematic undermining of your sense of reality.”

Trump picked up 12 million votes between 2016 and 2020, the most total votes of any Republican ever. While he lost suburban women and never had young urban folks, he picked up Latino voters and rural/suburban white males (where populist rhetoric about America First plays well). That is why all the dingleberries that…

Let’s not do this. We’ll just agree that I’m a disingenuous troll or something, and that you don’t have the time or energy for this.

You can dislike the message all you want but his point is that independent voters and centrists don’t care about the things that the far left (and, unspoken, the far right) does and they are susceptible to soundbites and messaging that will sway them; the GOP has been pivoting to America-centric populism and they are…

In the article Carville himself says that those policies you mentioned are popular among voters. Carville said. “Most people agree with us on health care and minimum wage and Roe v. Wade and even on the climate. So why can’t we leverage that?” He doesn’t oppose those things.

Latina here and Latinx is fucking dumb and needs to die but anyone who lets that be what sways their vote is showing their true colours.

This.

I feel like there’s two questions here: who has the moral right to define the term, and who is, practically speaking, going to actually determine how it is defined in the majority of use-case scenarios. I don’t know the answer to the former question (though, at a minimum, I’m fairly certain it’s not straight cis white…

Same with “BIPOC”. There is a worthwhile conversation to be had that a people should be able to name themselves. Identity and how we present ourselves changes with time. But, the idea that groups of people voted based on what sociology majors called them in essays instead of economic, health, foreign, taxation or…

I don’t personally use Latinx, I feel we already had a gender neutral moniker in calling ourselves Latin American. Either way most Latin Americans identify with their country of origin first, because we are not a monolith. That all said, complaining that people use the term Latinx is an utter waste of time, when our…

“Latinx” has not caused me or the other Latinos in my family to stop voting for Democrats. But the term is obnoxious, grating, and I can definitely see it turning some people off, so much so that they may not even want to hear what you’re saying as soon as “Latinx” leaves your lips.

Your comment is technically correct (the best kind of correct), but in this context it is based on a faulty premise. As far as I know, no automotive manufacturer is using truly water-based paints. What they use are waterborne paints. It is more precisely referred to as a suspension than a solution. The paint is not…

For my pedantic moment of the day, water-based paints are solvent-based. Water is the solvent.

Of course no believes that they have the same orders. They have eaten McDonalds on camera multiple times and i have never seen them eat chicken nuggets. The sauces that they’ll serve are Korean sauces that you can’t get in most places around the world. It would be nice if they had specialty items, or even personalized…

Are you talking now (pandemic-era), or somewhere other than the US? Because McDonald’s did serve breakfast all day, starting in 2015 and only stopping because of COVID streamlining. Some franchises never actually stopped, and the rest will no doubt bring back the All Day Breakfast as things improve.
