  • What? It’s a leading question. Matthew is trying to get a response to said question which would force someone like Ben Shapiro to admit that the Epstein files are actually bad for Trump a d not a nothing burger like trump would like you to believe. The question implies that Matthew does actually know the same thing we all know, that the files prove trump is a pedophile child molester.



  • California is really interesting actually. Yes over all they are a blue state. But the blue comes from exactly where you think it does. The metropolitan centers of the state are where the majority of people live. But the majority of agriculture comes from the valleys where people are much more right leaning. California is so politically diverse that there is regular infighting about breaking up into multiple states. One really commonly petitioned and proposed split is the creation of the State of Jefferson.

    But also, Northern California and Southern California regularly are seen as in opposition to each other. Central California feels completely different than any of the aforementioned regions. Then there is the desert area.

    The real reason it could stand on its own as a country is because of that diversity. Not to mention, if California split from the Union, in theory, the USA would have to continue to import goods from them because of how reliant we are as a country on that singular region.









  • Jesus dude. You all are so damn negative. The jokes about the left are pretty much all dead on. The left hate each other for not being far enough left. I’m on here for progressive conversation but people like you make me not want it. Reading shit like this from other “leftists” is exhausting. You probably wouldn’t support Karl Marx if he cut his right hand off because he still had a right foot.

    Unification of the left is the only way to progress. Dividing the left is how the right consistently wins.



  • It’s hard to remove Disney from every aspect of your life even when not consuming media. For example, I play Magic the Gathering, and the producer of the game is Wizards of the Coast, owned by Hasbro. Wizards of the Coast has secured licensing deals with properties of many media franchises including Marvel. Now, I personally try not to purchase licensed cards from those sets. but when cards are released quarterly and the supply chain to small game stores is choked out to only give them the newest stuff and the oldest stuff no longer in print but still in supply, your choices become, buy the latest licensed boosters and boxes or buy the old stuff you probably already have enough of.

    My shop hasn’t had Tarkir: Dragonstorm (a set that released in Q2 of this year) since the Final Fantasy set launched several months ago. And since then, Edge of Eternities (an nonlicecensed set) has released and even that set is hard to get hands on. So my options right now are, Final Fantasy cards, cards from a year or more ago, or prepurchasing Spiderman cards… Even my hobbies are being canabalized by the megacorps.

    It’s exhausting, and I want to just enjoy my card game. I hate that a huge part of my enjoyment of this hobby has been sniffed out (cracking packs with friends) has been turned into something that feeds all the monsters at once. And since it became a finance hobby for people who don’t care about the game at all, just what they can sell the product for aftermarket, this thing I love has become harder and harder to enjoy.

    All that said, please nobody tell Disney about Disk Golf…
