  • I mean, to be a lot more fair than you should be: Yeah he is a fucking idiot.

    But sure, you could have done a metastudy to analyse multiple studies and notice a possible trend or pattern to alert you to possible dangers. That’s just a trend, and not verified, but at least something to base a hypothesis off of, which you would then test.

    But if you’ve given yourself a deadline to make an announcement of what you’ve totally definitely learned, you likely go with the only thing that could possibly even maybe almost be true, pretend its totally real, because of course you’ve been doing your job and not sitting on your ass trying to point to being woke or gay or something more advantageous than smearing an american company but oops turns out doing that job takes someone who knows what the fuck they’re doing and turns out literally everything is extremely nuanced because there are shitloads of factors that lead to the development of the brain.

    So you go on live tv, eat shit blaming what you’ve announced you’ll totally find the cause for on anything you could even pretend to think might be plausible…

    then also blame it on genital mutilation?

    Then maybe try and do a study on the hypothesis you had to run with.

    Except you can’t particularly do an experiment to verify that ethically. But its fine, you don’t have ethics… except you’re running the NIH which DOES have ethical standards. So… damnit… now you have to find some way to do an “ethical” “study” that will test the hypothesis you came up with, except you’re still an idiot so you still can’t even begin to figure out how to do that.









  • Every time I see people complaining about 3rd party voters all I can picture is the “Am I so out of touch?” meme. Like, y’all already shot yourselves in the face 3 times in a row and it surprisingly didn’t fail 1/3 times, but you’ll blame literally anyone but yourselves. Run a candidate people want, run policies people want, and support that candidate and those policies instead of throwing everything you can against them because you like money, and we would not be anywhere near where we are now. People vote for trump because they don’t want another fucking “nothing will fundamentally change” politician. The country is already shit. It needs to change. But dems are happy with it how it is. They don’t care about immigrants, or poor people, or social security, or women’s rights, or whatever. They just hold onto those as carrots on a stick. They just want to keep making millions, and would rather trump win so they don’t have to actually embrace populist policy. That’s why people don’t vote. The choice isn’t ice cream or drive off a cliff. Its do we drive into a wall and die now, or drive off a cliff so it takes slightly longer to die, the drive off a cliff people shot the 2 people who asked if they could vote for ice cream and that’s why the others didn’t vote.


  • I mean, yes. Violence involves physically harming people (or threatening to), not property. At least by WHO’s definition. So I mean the point being that most of these protests are not violent, just maybe destructive (and even then, most people are not being destructive.) the violence comes from the police, or literally florida saying they WILL kill you.




  • I understand, I’d say moving from world of darkness’s most powerful book to its 2nd most powerful book isn’t that large of a difference, maaaybe geist or idk I haven’t tried mummy or any of those they could play different but eh.

    DCC felt very much like a rules lite, low power, riskier game, which still makes it very different from standard DND/Pathfinder so it just felt rude to completely dismiss it. Sure it’s the same setting but if it gets people to try something and they like it and want to branch out into other rules light stuff that’s cool? Again mostly coming from my experience of everyone is comfortable with generic fantasy Tolkien so they’re more willing to try it than say, Mork Borg. So I understand most public places more focused on that, and once people wanna break out and try weirder things with their groups they can.


  • I assume you’re confusing me with someone else? I did not say I voted for Harris.

    People who want to get elected’s job is to get people to want to vote for them. A national party then is supposed to… be a party people want to vote for.

    Anyways, the long term plan is mostly, remove money & attack ads from politics, including post political job bullshit. Stop first past the post. Educate people well. Including on the internet and computers (we REALLY need good legislation on it but without people actually understanding it… that’s not easy) Get people to actually care about their own communities, and get involved, including in politics, school boards, etc. (And well, plenty of other things to change, much I have not sat down and formalized a plan for it because there’s not much point in fantasizing a world that’s not trying to destroy itself for profit. Mostly what I can do as a teacher… which also involves a lot of pushing my school to offer things. ) But the DNC is actively against a lot of that. Voting for them will not fix it.


  • I can say you’re only concerned with short term and willing to lose the long term, while also saying I understand the short term is fucking terrible and it suck’s but it’s only going to get worse if people keep supporting the parties that got us here and are happy to be here. Because people have been saying this shit for like 50 years… and here we are, at it being worse.

    The DNC’s literal job is to motivate and energize voters. Blaming the voters and not the DNC is like yelling at a Taco Bell employee about them removing potato’s from the menu as if the fucking cashier has any say what corporate does.


  • Literally just said I know it’s bad. Not implying it isn’t. I’m saying the DNC has been actively working towards this even being possible for years. Because they only need to run hitler -$50. And they’re happy with that. They would rather lose to Trump than lose any money. And that’s why people stop voting. And that’s why Trump is fucking even possible.

    I’m just fucking tired of people defending the DNC. They’re just as big of a part of the problem as republicans.
