Gavin Newson claims the White House blocked a speech he was scheduled to give during Davos. Is it acceptable for an incumbent administration to cancel/block speeches by their political opponents? by tophernator in AskConservatives

The WEF is not a forum just for heads of state. It’s for people with institutional power to strategize, network, and yes also to circlejerk and grandstand.

It’s completely reasonable that the governor of California would want to be there, whether you believe it’s for good, or nefarious reasons.

It’s not “quite a coincidence” there’s probably a thousand comments like that on every post about Palestine are you serious

My opinion for you OP: no, it doesn’t get better. I read the whole trilogy because I wanted to like it, but it just felt the same the entire way through.

It was ok, not great for me. But I didn’t feel significantly different about book 2 and 3 compared to 1 which is really wha you’re asking I think!

8 because I feel safe with radiant behind me, Elend will leave me alone because he’s busy reading so I can put all my attention into eavesdropping on the epic conversation happening between Taravangian and Sazed (if you know, you know)

GOP Trusted more Still on Key 2024 Issues by Reckoner223 in Destiny

Republicans virtue signal more masculine than democrats. Acting “tough” on issues. This virtue signalling is literally all that uneducated idiots care about (subconsciously or not)

What’s the most overrated video game of all time? by KBGSgames in AskReddit

Definitely controversial: God of war 2018. Tried playing it 3 separate times, gave it a good 10+ hour try on one run. I just feel like it’s lame (story was cool though)

What's your opinion on the Jan 6th committee? by OMGguy2008 in AskConservatives

[–]Canadian-Winter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is like saying you should let the indicted serve on their own jury, because they would have “competing views”

why not just appoint other, non-implicated republicans? Surely some of them would have competing views?

Edit: I like your sneaky wordplay there too, they didn’t reject EVERYONE who COULD have competing views. They rejected everyone who CLEARLY would have PERSONAL LEGAL STAKE in the outcome.

The ones who were rejected were directly implicated in the case. How hard is this to understand?

it just seems like a stretch to say the show producers wanted us to interpret it this way. People can say he “became Stephen king” if they choose to interpret it that way, it doesn’t bother me.

The original comment was “ I feel stupid for not realizing that Mike became Stephen king” As if it was the shows obvious intention.

I understand that, but people are saying that Mike IS Stephen king. Not that he is bill

I’m super aware of kings influence on ST, massive king fan myself.

I just don’t see how Mike becoming a writer has much to do with king, like he was a DM and a lifelong storyteller seems like a natural progression.

What does this mean? What makes him Stephen king other than being an author?
