My son tried to explain that to me, his trans-lesbian parent. I forgave him, because he is sixteen, so being that naive and clueless is age-appropriate.

Really, it’s the fact that there are so many other smart students there, and if you engage with them you can learn a lot in collaboration.

I was not against going to war in Afghanistan, so that didn’t bother me. In retrospect the AUMF has been stretched beyond recognition, and should have been opposed.

I lost my trust for Hillary when she voted for the Iraq war. At that moment I knew that she was either playing politics, or couldn’t tell that the Bush administration was lying to her about WMDs. Either way, she moved into my “don’t trust” pile.

John Edwards who, as it turns out, had too much charisma.

Especially since War never changes.

This is like when I taught my wife the three all-purpose sports comments:

Oooh! They think responding to advertiser pressure is liberal...when it’s really just corporate.

Wait...what? I’ve never heard of the sports business being referred to as anything but ridiculously conservative. Who in the world thinks it’s left-wing?

And once that happens, there are a lot of chips that will fall. All these expensive stadiums, for instance.

I’ve had very similar outcomes to yours on a few less campaigns. I find KS to be especially good for tabletop games for companies with a track record and reprints or expansions of existing media properties. I haven’t been burned on any computer games yet, but that’s definitely the riskiest category.

I actively root for whichever team beat my team so that I can delude myself into believing we were “really” the second best team, but with bad scheduling luck.

That’s fine as long as you actively root against the traitorous Titans.

This is exactly how it was for me...diagnosed in my 40s due to looking into a diagnosis for my son. Another wrinkle, though — as a transwoman, the fact that I had female-typical manifestations meant that I went even more under the radar until after my transition.

The thing that people are forgetting is that there were other Dems and third-party candidates in the race, too. He can get *very* close to 50% even without picking up any Republicans. This race is essentially a toss up at this point.

538 did a very thorough analysis a few days ago of what we could tell about the runoff from the primary results in this election. Bottom line, the point where it looked to be a coin flip was exactly where it landed...Ossoff at 48%.

I think right around hour 4 or 5 is where it opened up for me. I finished the first dungeon at about the 12 hour mark (but I’m old and slow). Persona 5 is at least a 100 hour game...you have to be prepared for that.

NYC has nothing on the south as far as roaches go. I grew up in East Texas, and every house there has roaches...the best you can d is keep the population down enough that you never actually see a live one.

Why would I be upset that someone else is treated well?

Here’s the way I understand White Privelege. It basically boils down to people are extra-helpful to people who remind them of themselves, or someone they care about. It isn’t about keeping other people down, it’s all these invisible, extra hands up to people you like. It’s about the time you didn’t call the cops,…
