β€œNever say never”

Have you watched how fox news, etc cover it? Have you looked at jan 6 + election fraud opinion polls? What republican reps say about it? Have you listened to his whole jan 6 speech on c-span?

Maybe try harder? I believe in you.

Radical bridge building does NOT involve turning down cooperation from white nationalist organizations.

Being one of 26 co-sponsors of a call does not imply a close relationship.

Well, you're suggesting we shrink the size a coalition has to be in order to have full control of the legislature. You're saying it's necessary to be able to govern. To support that claim, I want to hear what other solutions you've looked at, so I can understand why we can't do better than that.

Causality is multifaceted, but I think some opponent's opinions had to change for CRA to pass. Pressure being necessary as well doesn't contradict that.

If we looked at opinion polls over time, I'm sure we'd see a meaningful change leading up to CRA, right?

I think signs can win people over tbh. It frustrates me that people aren’t trying. I think thats *why* we’re seeing a turn authoritarianism- we’ve lost faith in our ability to change minds.

IMO The civil rights movement succeeded by winning over β€œracists”...

Eh, I see where she is coming from. I’ve been looking a protest signs for months with a feed I made, and I gotta say I’ve not seen much that would change minds.

Look for yourself bsky.app/profile/did:...

I recommend checking out the Museum of Protest’s resources on how to protest effectively.

Do me a solid and list four other solutions to that problem, so I can see how much you’ve thought this through.

Personally, I think we shouldn't make a majority of 51 capable of doing more. We've been down the route of reducing vote requirements before and it has enabled ever greater partisanship.

Personally, the β€˜quakers for peace’ sign seems a bit silly. To me, a call for peace means less coming from a group known for consistent pacifism.

Is there an essay associated with that slogan? I feel like I don’t know where it is from.

What survey question would you have asked?

If a protest is meant to help alleviate an issue, then it seems people think actions occurred that undermined that aim.

β€˜Too far’ does make me ask β€˜in what direction’ or β€˜away from what’

I imagine there’s a lot more context that can shed light on these questions, but I don’t want to jump to any answers.

There is however an authority placement issue:

1. Who decides if the games violate the payment processor’s policies?
2. Why does valve not communicate any limits on the rules it will respect?

I think the fear here is that valve has somehow been coerced, and lost some autonomy.

Not to mention if nobody gives sources, then people without sources can get way more attention.

Your approach prevails because it is easy, not because it makes any sense.

When you post something, imo it is your responsibility to provide a basic means of verification. Every reader can look up the bill, or one poster can post a link. Ez math.

I think people often jump right to stronger scaling, but weak scaling can be very cool! It makes charge all about aim, and it creates a lot of flexibility in how you deal your damage!

A key decision will be how much charging a shot for a long time rewards you w higher DPS.

I suggest at least trying out weak improvements- where damage increases linearly over time at a rate of 100% base / fire rate

Watched the U.N. Security Council Meeting www.c-span.org/program/unit... yesterday.

Iran’s refusal of full IEAE observation, and the US’s past willingness to pay Iran in the nuclear deal, as well as the apparent lack of action by russia /china to enforce non-proliferation, all stood out.
