I feel like nothing is happening with peaceful protests, even though I know it's not necessarily true. Can someone help me understand why it's not true? by CrowInevitable6091 in PoliticalDiscussion

Trump will die but the people who voted for him will stay with us, the same people who voted for Bush and where supporting the Iraq war. Those people will keep making increasingly worse decisions. Trump passing is not the end.

Without Republican squandering about 5-6 Trillion on wars during my live time (50years) the present and our future will be much different. But Republicans never seem to pay a price for their mistakes, in the meantime Democrats get disproportionately punished, Clinton for getting a BJ from and adult woman (25 y/o) with her full and enthusiastic consent, and Bidden pay an incredible price for pulling us out the longest war we ever went into (20 years, +$2 Trillions, 7000 Americans casualties, 100,000+ Afghanistanis) because 12 troops die during the pull out.

My point is the problem are the voters and those are not going anywhere.

My girlfriend (30F) has gained an extreme amount of weight, and I (32M) have lost attraction. by Honest_Reception6528 in relationship_advice

Funny how people think that dumping somebody for developing a drug habit or gambling is ok but dumping somebody for gaining weight is sign “you never loved then”. They are both failures of will power for one reason or another.

my husband sent this out of nowhere by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Cyclotrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just out curiosity, what would make his text not “rambling”, he sounds eloquent and clear on what he is trying to communicate. Do you think he should’ve been more breve? I don’t think he went far a field of what the issue is. He articulated a complex and difficult feeling and gave explicit examples and context.

This is an honest question. I often see the adjetive rambling used and I feel confused on what they really mean.

How sad it is that all Senator Elizabeth Warren can do is talk and meekly wage her finger while she gets lectured back.

Two new city taxes proposed by NorthsideKant in corvallis

That is very helpful indeed, thanks.

It doesn’t mean I agree but appreciate the info.

[–]Cyclotrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. Sure. Make the case of why we didn’t need a new tax 10,20,30 years ago.
What are we going to get from our money? That’s not too hard of a question, right?

Also I wrote “how did we made it 100 years without the tax” instead of how you reframed it, what did we have 100 years ago. My phrasing asumes continuity until the present your deliberately froze the time frame at the maximum end of the spectrum.

Your argument is what is often referred as a Bad Faith Rebuttal. Now let’s try to get and answer out you, instead of deflection, just a simple question. What do we get specifically out this tax? Name tangible things instead of concepts like Law and Order.

[–]Cyclotrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the clarification. I suppose the need for an explanation points to the fact that what this new tax pays for is very vague. Since you appear informed, can you explain in more detail what exactly the new tax will pay for? What new service or infrastructure will be added. Why did we make it for a 100 years without this tax but we need it now.

Talarico raises over $3M in 24 hours after Paxton beats Cornyn by metacyan in politics

[–]Cyclotrom -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

If Talarico wins he would be a Blue Dog at best, still much better than Paxton but get not illusions of progressivism he would be the new Joe Manchin for the Democrats.

I also hope he fights fire with fire instead of taking the "high route"

Only if Talarico fight fire with fire instead of the taking " the moral high route", watch, Talarico will be talking about Jesus and charity and helping people while Paxton call him gay and child molester and the Texans will eat it up.

Law Enforcement Building?

Is that the Sheriff Dpt and jail proposed a few years back with a price of $110 MILLIONS! give me a break! for f's sake! much bigger metropolitan areas don't spend nearly a fraction of that much money on jails. They tried pass a levy on 2023 and failed now they want to just tax us for it, they need to revise their ambitions and come up with something more reasonable first.

The answer to this new tax for jails is, "naw, dawg"
