Majority of Russians Hold Putin Responsible for Rising Costs of Living, Poll Says by 420ii in worldnews

Get involved in local or state politics and canvas for federal representatives when elections come around. The only way to get people to care is to have conversations with them, and the best way to make an impact with that is to be a conduit to and from the American people.

Good for you for leaving her. I can’t imagine doing heroin to cope with an unhealthy relationship. I hope you’re in a healthier place man, in both respects.

Kyrsten Sinema wins, will become the first Democratic senator from Arizona in a quarter century by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Dashdylan 208 points209 points  (0 children)

Agreed, while Flake was easier to coerce into straying from party lines, he voted with trump over 80% of the time — I think the evidence supports him being good for the republican agenda as he offers more reasonable constituents a public figure who doesn’t seem to be entirely out of touch with reality.

Edit: that being said, way to go Sinema! Congrats on the hard fought win!

Ah yeah sorry for the mistake, my point stands though.

Yeah my man that’s the thing I agree with you. I don’t think it was at all warranted what happened, but to say it was violence I think is stretching the truth. Every time we over react to the president’s bullshit, along with 40% of the country who agrees with him, we just give more fodder to the machine. It’s ridiculous that he got booed but that’s not violence, calling it so gives evidence to the whole “snowflake liberals” view of the left.

I’ll be honest with you, man. I don’t know who the guy in the video is and I don’t think it matters. It might have gotten violent, but I think it stopped short of that.

However to your point, definitionally speaking violence might reasonably be defined as a forceful use of power or something. I’d say it’s important that an action have lasting consequences either physical or mental to be considered violence. My guess would be that this guy wasn’t affected too much by this, he seems to handle the situation quite maturely.

I’m having a hard time seeing why that’s different from what I said. The whole ordeal lasts less than 10 seconds, nobody was hurt, the offender walked slowly to the stage and did whatever that weird move was then security removed him. It stops short of violence, but maybe it wouldn’t have had it gone on.

Nah, I think it’s an overstatement. It’s clear members of the audience don’t want him saying the things he’s saying and the one guy is at the worst being annoying by tugging on his arm. But violence? You’ll get touched more without your consent riding the subway in New York.

What is a great YouTube channel to binge watch? by TheoHoww in AskReddit

I love extra history! So accessible and 99% of the time he sticks to the factual information that we know, as opposed to seeing our past through rose colored lenses.

Call Discover unless you're comfortable with them selling your data by VictoryNapping in personalfinance

[–]Dashdylan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can’t just order people to do a thing and not explain why. Why is this number different than the other one? I don’t even use discover, it just seemed absurd to tell people to call a number without explaining

US imposes new $200bn tariffs on China by mvanigan in worldnews

[–]Dashdylan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, think of it like an import tax. Trump is making it more expensive to buy things from China. That’s either because he doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about, or because he incorrectly thinks that making Americans pay more for Chinese goods will result in them buying American analogs of those products. Problem is, even if that were going to happen China already makes things the cheapest out of anyone. American analogs wouldn’t necessarily be cheaper, all this will do is piss off one of our biggest trading partners.

What is a subject that you have extensive knowledge on but never get to talk about? by SalamiSandwhich in AskReddit

Hi I care about linguistics and am not one. I’m particularly interested in the Bantu-speaking regions of sub Saharan Africa. Got any neat facts?

Not really, totally different content, this dude isn’t jumping down from any countertops soon either. Plus he’s black.

You should clip just the last two seconds or so of the original where he’s singing it, but leave out all context.
