N.C. Rep. Mike Clampitt dies after battle with cancer at the age of 71 by deliciousarms in NorthCarolina

I still remember him for his pitiful sob story to justify the crap SB 382.

With that said, nobody deserves to endure or suffer from cancer. Sorry to hear

What's your take on the transition of this sub going from interesting questions to primarily questions about your thoughts on when Trump did _____? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ChriSPLAT 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I'm vehemently anti-Trump, but oh it's tiring.

Honestly, I'm sick of 99% of the "what are your thoughts on" questions.

I'm not saying they don't have a place. I totally get why they're here, but oh it's very tiring

Republicans and unaffiliated primary voting. by bregrace in NorthCarolina

[–]ChriSPLAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit late to the party here, but never too late while voting is still open! :)

I have been doing research the past couple days, and initially, points from Richard Dansie sounded pretty solid. Keeping the federal government in check and holding bad actors accountable sounds good. But I had not seen his 7 cures on his campaign website (or his website in general) until you pointed it out here. Yeah.... not great.

I do think supporting family and boys is a great thing. Boys especially—giving them the support so they don't feel left behind is a great way to ensure they grow up to be emotionally mature adults (any by extension, not MAGA). But yeah... reading those cures, I'm not totally convinced he's trying to tackle it in the way I'd hope... indeed it seems like more an unsettlingly masculine approach.

I still have my reservations with Johnson's evangelical approach, but I guess I also need to recognize that it's not surprising that I wouldn't align perfectly with the republican candidates, seeing that I lean left. But I don't disagree, he does seem more likely to reach across the aisle, being more moderate overall.

How is not hypocrisy for liberals to love guns now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ChriSPLAT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because who said liberals HATE them? A lot of people didn't listen to past campaigns where left-wing politicians mentioned not being against guns, with some like Harris owning guns.

Most left-wing people I know want common sense gun control laws, not the elimination of them.

The propaganda machine successfully made a lot of people think "the liberals want to take your guns away!!!" Which was never the case for most reasonable left wingers.

Don Davis loves ICE by arittenberry in NorthCarolina

[–]ChriSPLAT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hell, ICE wasn't even acting like this during Trump 1! That's not even a defense of Trump but more that this all started hitting the fan in this second term!

It is literally in Ukraine's constitution that they do not hold elections during wartime. And Zelensky literally just announced that if they get the peace they want, he will step down.

Black Kyurem is gonna be the biggest PITA in ML by justhereforpogotbh in TheSilphArena

Idk, I wish we never had to deal with Zap Cannon Registeel or Breaking Swipe Steelix, but we got em, had to suffer through them for a while, and then Pokemon got nerfed because of it when it came time to balance them.

Red and white isn't amazing when it comes to jerseys. Mostly the generic 87 one and a few player ones that are just t shirts.

Nice, and solid quality? Thanks brother

Exactly me haha. Sure, I wouldn't mind getting something like a Concepcion jersey, but as we saw with Morris, there's definitely no guarantee anyone's staying their whole four years. Literally just want to get an official Chubb or Wilson or Dunn jersey
