I’m not calling Bernie a sellout on women’s rights. I’m saying it feels odd that this issue is where he suddenly embraces big tent ideas of party when he initially didn’t back Orsoff. If this is merely a turning point and moving forward we do fine, then we do fine. If this is a turning point of tossing social issues…

Agreed however Dems in the past have been too selective, to where we let far, far, FAR too many Republicans run utterly unopposed. We need to work on that too.

One of my fav Bloom County strips made fun of how comically little money it could take to bribe people.

...You know I think that might work. Make it Americans under 30, to be safe.

Because they miscalcuated, assuming that his grassroots support might not like seeing the Party Establishment involved. It was a wrong move overall however I do see their logic—they thought if it stayed under the radar the GOP might not mobilize properly for what they thought was a sure thing, while voters might be…

I mean maybe this is them finally realizing to relax in general (hope springs eternal in me) but only time will tell if it’s that or just throwing issues they don’t care about by the wayside wholesale while retaining purity tests for their preferred issues. We’re going to have to wait and see to find out (never fun, I…

True but I’m talking the same people who were saying it mere weeks ago, not just during the election...I mean better late than never, but still, it felt sudden from some people...agan if it’s a full turning point on purity tests instead of just trying to declare the social issues unimportant compared to economic ones…

My big issue with the Mello thing is how it relates to Orsoff and what that says about the biggest problem with progressive purity tests: who designs the test? Because whoever does the designing is going to be biased, no matter what.

Yeah, my high school celebrated the end of Ramadan--admittedly they did this just by letting us party on the baseball field at lunch since for most of the school it was “Yay Our Friends Can Eat With Us Again Day!” but you get the idea. A lot of kids went potluck, whatever teacher they had before lunch usually let them…

Adam and Eve were the humanity beta test. Once they were functional enough to disobey God implemented other humans into the programming.

Especially since the pyramids would have been built at a different time from the Israelites being enslaved. They’re from some of the oldest rulers while the whole Moses thing, best anyone can date it if it happened, happened around Rameses II or at least in that era, like a thousand years later.

Just off the top of my head, they’ve been excavating a wall in Jersualem allegedly built by King David. Thing is, they carbon dated the wall. Either David is not the king who built the wall or the Bible is wrong about when he reigned. So that’s one he’s wrong on.

Yep. I had a car at college. It was my dad’s, he got mom’s SUV while she got the new car with some money from her late mom’s will. When my car died my cousin sold me his for $500, which is what he paid grandma for it back when she and granddad decided they no longer needed two cars. I still have that car (thing’s 20…

So there’s this trend I think needs to be discussed...namely, leotard shirts. Tons of stores are doing it now and it is very wtf inducing for me. I mean some are smart and just have fasterners near the bottom so you can undo them easily for the bathroom, but some are full on leotards! Is this a reaction to the return…

Yep. That’s pretty big.

Exactly. Hell, every Let’s Play I’ve seen has been majorly different, not just in Divine Beast order but in general style. One person worked through the story and shrines at a steady rate before spending over a dozen videos just doing all the thins to do before going to see Ganon. Another did EVERY shrine no matter…

North FL reporting in: bad idea. It is not a fun place for liberals in the north, which is still VERY solid Bible Belt. My mom often relates how the first question anyone asked her when we moved there (i was 2 1/2) was “what church do you go to?” Some neighbors legit stopped talking to my parents because they voted…

Honestly it’s the only thing that increases traffic...

I like that. Supply-side social justice. Good description.
