Yep. You have to stay out of the general subs and stay in the niche hobby/passion subs with good moderation.

Weird because I remember Rain Man winning the Academy Award for Best Picture around the time a whole slew of movies and music featured transphobic themes due to its prevalence. From Crocodile Dundee and The Crying Game to Funky Cold Medina and many others.

"I thank him for doing so πŸ’™"

This reeks of "Welcome to the resistance, George W. Bush!"

We... absolutely do not need to do this. Liberals please stop, for the love of God.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

And consistent failure is really hard to deal with in roleplaying games! It's not like improv where it's funny or in theater where it just serves growth. Failure means you're potentially putting your friends' characters at risk. It means introducing stress to the game. There are mechanical stakes.

When I say "laughing" I mean he thought it was kinda funny that he wants Maduro overthrown just like Trump does but he doesn't like how Trump is doing it.

David Frum was laughing about this last week on The Bulwark. Reminder that when libs say Trump destroyed their country and they want to just go back to what it used to be, this is also what it used to be. This part has been around for 70 damn years.

I love how they're just openly acknowledging this is a charade, while begging for investors to keep the charade going. Great economic system we have here.

What's even more tragic about this is that it will probably be pretty funny even though the whole project is an abomination

I cannot fricking believe I found this book again #wordoftheday #underworldlingo #books YouTube video by Ghostyyy

The "Dictionary of Underworld Lingo" is a book from 1950, written by prisoners, and is one of the most incredible finds I've ever made.

No it won't even get to that. This still would have to go through the Senate and then not get vetoed by Trump. The point of this is to force Trump to publicly block the release of the files because it will make him look even guiltier.

Trump's Treasury Secretary literally just let it slip that Epstein was "the biggest blackmailer in the world", even though at no point has the FBI under any president made that claim, even after Epstein was arrested.

See: Maxwell's father, Alex Acosta literally saying he was told Epstein was an asset, Giuffre saying in her book that Ehud Barak himself r*ped her, Lewis Black's story about being taken to Epstein's apartment while Epstein was meeting with Israel's Defense Minister. This was a blackmail operation.

It's not just that. It's that Epstein was working for Mossad. This isn't even a conspiracy theory at this point, it's just Occam's Razor.

See: The ACA example used earlier. The majority of the ACA is a disaster. It has not significantly lowered healthcare costs, and thanks to the mandate being struck down, the core value proposition of it (lower costs and more coverage) will never take shape. What's pragmatic about that?

It's absolutely erroneous, yeah. Leftists believe we are pragmatic. Right wingers believe they are pragmatic. Centrists believe they are pragmatic. But only Centrists get popularly treated in the media like they're right, just because their policies are moored to the theoretical center.

tbf I did not ask for a centrist position that worked, so credit where it is due you did provide an alright example. But I don't really know all that many people on any part of the political spectrums who still think the ACA is a good solution.

Literally the New Deal. The single most positive initiative in the history of America. Second, the War on Poverty, which lifted ~75% of impoverished Americans out of poverty within 10 years.

That wasn't centrism though. Eisenhower's highway system is a left wing policy. So was LBJ's War on Poverty initiative. And Nixon only created the EPA after progressives backing Ralph Nader successfully fought for the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act to be passed.

Was it? Because right now the government is shut down in large part because the ACA's costs are skyrocketing and the only way they seem to be able to fix it is with tax credits... aka tax dollars going to wealthy healthcare companies. Centrists are the ones who removed the Public Option from the ACA

Give me an example of one broadly held centrist position. The kind of position that would be considered de facto for any centrist to hold.
