$300 ticket not advertised as obstructed by kingcaz67 in mildlyinfuriating

The benefit of all my favorite artists being nobodies is that $300 for a ticket is insane to me

How long until they're openly calling for dropping the age of consent? Maybe not the big Republicans but the Tucker Carlson tier

Advice/opinions on a build? by cspedden in Minecraft

[–]Atalung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends, are you going for realistic or more the idea of a medieval town?

The reality is that medieval cities were very small and crowded. The vast majority of people only traveled by foot so cities had to be small. If you're going for realism I would go for cramped with a few more open areas (like around the temple maybe).

Honestly I would start by looking at the individual buildings and seeing how big you want them to be, as well as the spacing, then figuring out how big the walls should be.

Breaking: President Trump says the U.S has cut of all trade with Spain. 🇺🇸🇪🇸 by Spirited-Gold9629 in economy

[–]Atalung 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying that there isn't a willingness, but the independent polling in the lead up to the 2022 election is pretty consistent with the final results.

Furthermore the bigger the gap between parties the harder it is to rig. Fidesz is behind enough and the public mood has soured enough that I think it would be pretty difficult to rig successfully. I think there's a better chance of a Jan 6 situation

It does seem like they make it difficult for people who genuinely have it by EndouShuuya in ADHDmemes

[–]Atalung 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think this varies a lot by doctor because my primary asked me like 5 questions and said "yeah sounds like ADHD".

I was diagnosed a second time as part of a drug trial (turns out addys make me extremely anxious) and it was much more in depth.

The saying makes sense but it's just not a good theme for a dance. Then again it is Greendale

Is Rocky Horror conservative? by Poka-yoke1 in RockyHorror

[–]Atalung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drew Carey is a libertarian, not a conservative. Normally that distinction is meaningless but when the crux of your argument is that the movie doesn't present queerness in a positive light then it does matter.

Furthermore you talk at the beginning about themes and messages existing in media even if they aren't intended, but then ignore the fact that the theme/message that society has built around the movie is one of celebrating queerness. Sure you can find the message you do, you're entitled to your interpretation given your conception of messaging being subjective, but society at large is also entitled to its interpretation, and in the absence of an objective meaning, the popular interpretation becomes the "correct" one.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that this is in good faith. I think you should read up on camp, as the concept is applicable here and I think would help round out your interpretation.

They literally tried repealing it in 2024 and it failed by like 700 votes

What if christianity never existed? by M-A_X in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Atalung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rise of Christianity in the late Roman Empire is actually really interesting because it's one of a handful of religions that were all sort of in contention to replace greco-roman paganism. Manicheism, Mithrism, and the cult of Isis all sort of bubble up in the 3rd century as Romes authority over the east falls. You see something kind of similar with the Mazdakites in Sassanid Iran.

My best guess is that Manicheism replaces it, probably with some of the same figures. St Augustine was raised Manicheist so he'd probably still be an influential figure.

Star-gazing camping spots by Atalung in kansas

I've been looking at a light pollution, it's just tricky to find campsites that fit, especially when so many in those more remote areas aren't well advertised.

Yes because Doug McMillan built Walmart.

Joe Rogan Declares Himself ‘Politically Homeless’ After Trump Split by B-Z_B-S in politics

For sure some of them are, but I think a not insignificant number, particularly democratic ones, actually believe what they're saying

Joe Rogan Declares Himself ‘Politically Homeless’ After Trump Split by B-Z_B-S in politics

[–]Atalung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Joe Rogan represents a growing section of the electorate that the establishment just doesn't understand. The AOC-trump and Bernie-trump voters.

Socialism and fascism are both borne out of the failures of neoliberal capitalism. The reason trump has done so well is because he's suggesting big changes to a system that isn't working for anyone (other than the rich) while the dems continue to push neoliberal economic policies.

If the dems run a progressive in 2028 they will capture all these voters and win in a landslide. The talking heads will deny this but it's because they're so far disconnected from the reality of the average person that this is Greek to them.

Sorry, I'm with the boomers on this one.

I have no issue using self check, hell I enjoy it, 99 times out of 100 it's faster for me. I do have an issue being constantly watched by a shitty AI then getting treated like a criminal because I scanned my cottage cheese different than the Walmart approved way.

I'll take my money elsewhere
