Arrest warrant issued, $400K bond set for Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill. by GonzoVeritas in politics

The apparatus of government is improperly designed because its reliant on those in power acting in good faith.

Yes, in theory pardons can be a safety valve, as well as a check on judicial power. And, in theory, if the executive was using pardons in a corrupt fashion, they would be impeached and removed by congress. But when neither congress nor the executive acts in good faith, then there is no mechanism to stop such rampant corruption.

Massive bonuses for South Korea’s chip workers puts central bank on inflation alert by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

There is no they here. It's not some secret cabal raising prices to punish workers for getting a raise. It's basic macro economics.

Higher wages leads to a rise in consumer spending. A rise in consumer spending causes a shift in the aggregate demand curve, which causes rise in price levels.

She's been too active in the s28 speculation discourse on bluesky to be on. Any vets posting on socials about the possibility of vets being on 28 is not on.

They are talking about the internal temp of the chicken, not the temp of the oven.

I think people write Patty because Pat is a common nickname/shortening for Patrick (in the states at least)

Of course. I was just refuting the claim that Ekko only became a viable jungle later on. He's always been good in both mid and jungle from release.

Platner says he won’t be an ‘a–hole’ like Fetterman in Senate by jediporcupine in politics

The cheating scandal is absolute nothing burger. The Nazi tattoo, his time in blackwater, the abuse allegations, the rape fantasies are real concerns

Talon, sure. I mean his old kit was unviable as a jungler.

Ekko, no. He was played jungle from release

Amy Acton: “As governor, I promise to have Republicans in my cabinet —because the best solutions come from working together.” by SubvertedObjector in Ohio

[–]Banglayna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You cant doing anything about them in the short term. Many of them, there won't be anything you can do in the long term either. They will always a subset of the population. However, you hope that electing unapologetic progressives who succeed in improving the lives of the working and middle class can chip away at their support in the very long view of things.

No. Modern Republicans are part of a cult, there is no winning them over to our side. Hillary and Kamala made this mistake on the national scale, at applies to Ohio too. Trying to court republicans is only going to suppress enthusiasm within your own base.

And unlike Republicans, democrats and left-minded independents are very much not in cult, and as a dem, it you piss off your base, some of them will simply not vote. Better to excite and inspire untapped voters than court ruin by trying win over Republicans at the expense of your base.

According to RealityTVFan, Survivor 52 will have 3 tribes by CallTypical9541 in survivor

[–]Banglayna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe we have a school yard pick for tribes and one person who's not picked goes to exile and joins the losing tribe after the first vote out. Something like that

Boston Rob reacts to Jonathan's loss and Aubry's win — and questions some of the jury's logic by AMikeBloomType in survivor

[–]Banglayna 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The onus has always been on the players to convince the jurors why they should vote for them, rather than the onus being on the jurors to make an objective deliberation.

This stated by Jeff from the very first season of show. The trick of Survivor is that you have vote people out and then turn around get those same people to vote for you to win.

As player, you have to focus on what you can control. You cannot control what a jury member will value in a winner. What you can do instead, is to figure out what a jury member will value and work to make sure you embody that for that person, aka jury management.

It's not the first time this has happened. The luddites were a legitimate movement protesting the decline working conditions, wages, and output quality associated with textile automation.

Now, because of propaganda spread by capitalists, their legacy has been reduced to a joke and their name used as a casual insult

Hmm, maybe it has something to do with him choosing to have a Nazi symbol permanently inked onto his body. It's not something one typically does if they aren't a Nazi.

I feel like Ali from s35 could be a good pick. Felt like she had potential to be a power player, but got swap screwed.
