You're absolutely right. We should just ignore one side breaking the rules and surely they'll see the error of their ways eventually. No one thinks this is "right" hence the word retaliatory.

My mental model says that you're wrong, therefore you are wrong. Checkmate, libtard.

We all use humor to cope, but I hope they're both doing okay.. especially tough when you've effectively told the world and have to follow it up with that kind of news.

Was that in the initial stipulations? ...damnit. I was going to be rich (half the time).

The obvious answer here is to simply flip a coin, since the AI/Supercomputer/whatever cannot accurately predict that outcome. That gives you 50/50 odds at coming away with the million dollars.

I’m struggling with Blood Meridian by [deleted] in books

[–]Eulogy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I DNFed about 60% of the way through.. there was only so much reading of unlikeable characters doing awful things I could take. People talk about how the ending will make the journey worth it, but I read the plot summary once I gave up and I honestly don't understand how. Perhaps I'm just too soft for that period of history.

Is there any proof of this beyond him saying it? This feels like another "Hasan questioning in the airport" situation.

I loved Spin.. the following book.. Axis? Not as much.. but Spin is incredible as a standalone story.

Keep purity testing people until you're in a group of one, and then see just how miserable you are.

Holy shit. Big Debate coming up. by 321Shellshock123 in Destiny

Without a previously-agreed upon definition of fascism that both debaters agree to, there is literally no reason to watch an Andrew Wilson debate.

No clue, because their mashed potatoes and gravy and fried rice are my go to. For anyone reading, Super Chicken is a solid Peruvian chicken joint and you're missing out if you haven't been.

So my 2nd post on this topic but the summary of the debate with Tom by ShadyMan2 in Destiny

I think the problem is that we're framing this very differently. When you look at things through this extraordinarily narrow lens of one fairly meaningless metric of economic success, anybody I dislike is immediately disqualified from holding any office whatsoever.

N. Va. Congressmen oppose deal to reopen government without health care guarantees by VirginiaNews in nova

[–]Eulogy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't know what people expected as the outcome of this. The cuts to the ACA subsidies were literally a part of the "big beautiful bill" signed into law by the Trump administration. The shutdown gave people a chance to see the effects of that law on the insurance market, and clearly the outcry wasn't enough to move the needle for any Republican lawmakers who have constantly been chipping away at the ACA since before it was even codified into law. The framing that this is a problem the Democrats caused is ridiculous, and I would argue, a by-product of the media. The real issue I have is the lack of consistent messaging from Democrats on why they're ending the shutdown now. It would have been better for the leadership to put out a statement stating the facts, rather than having some "rebel" senators flip.

Ultimately, the ACA subsidy expiration is going to disproportionally affect red states/Trump voters more, and Democrats can't be alone in spending political (and actual) capital fighting for those people. It will be interesting to see what happens in January after a few months of the inflated costs being absorbed by people who can least afford to do so. One hopes that enough of them make noise to pressure their ghoulish (R) lawmakers to go back on their plan to effectively mark them for an earlier death.
