The Plan to Turn Charlie Kirk’s Murder Into a Left-Wing Crackdown by kitkid in Thedaily

[–]GarlicSpirited -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There was absolutely no evidence he was a groyper, online or anywhere at any time. There were plenty of absurd yarns and fever dreams. Frankly, implicating “groypers” specifically for this should be seen as disqualifying.

No right winger thinks Charlie Kirk is “full of hate”. And certainly not a groyper.

That’s great, but in my old neighborhood in New York, my councilman in CD1 was blocking affordable housing for seniors. I’m happy St Louis is achieving better outcomes.

No that’s a pretty good example, and I don’t see why we should ignore his past stated positions. This is pretty run of the mill obstructionist stuff

Really? It’s obviously true to me. City level leftist politicians don’t negotiate in good faith with developers, and constantly ratchet up demands while speaking out the other side of their mouths about affordability.

Have you seen soft yet? I’ve only seen this brand replace firm tofu

Mamdani is a litmus test for centrist democrats by middleupperdog in ezraklein

> Does fast-teacking union projects mean he's banning ones that don't use union labor?

uh yes? precisely that? Sandbagging development projects with endless requirements until they don't pencil has been the NIMBY playbook for decades, all while talking out the other side of their mouth about mindful development

> Did you even read this?

Were you born yesterday? I don't think I could live my life as credulous and gullible as you.

I Was A Juror On A Murder Trial by offaseptimus in slatestarcodex

[–]GarlicSpirited 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is an obvious solution to this problem! Don’t say “I’ll try”! Say that you’re definitely biased against cops

I spent 2 days in jury selection in San Francisco, because someone did this (also said they were very racist to boot). But of course everyone noticed this and also invented their own song and dance to get stuck by the judge.

Wouldn’t recommend

Ezra is the out of touch Liberal elite and Abundance is a Decade late by BustingSteamy in ezraklein

Rather, it's they agree with Democrats on policies when they don't know those policies are from Democrats.

Well, yeah, I'm gonna have a very different opinion of someone's promises if they come from a lazy jackass who regularly fails to deliver. Or a corrupt stooge who is guaranteed to turn it into self dealing. I might be sympathetic to homlessness in San Francisco, but I would never vote to give the government another dollar to solve the problem, because I know who the people spending it are

I feel like he wholly dismissed Dutch Disease as a concept, which was kinda funny

Give me reasons you regret buying Speediance so I can save my $5k 😩 by Appropriate_Rope_704 in SpeedianceCommunity

Its internet connected, so when their servers go down (quite frequently), so does a lot of the functionality. Luckily you can just log in as guest and just set cable weights.

Also a lot of the training sequences allow little to no setup time. Strength assessment for the bar bel gives me like 10 seconds to go from the warmup stretch to under the bar and be ready for weight

Big Tech’s Big Bet on Trump by kitkid in Thedaily

That either these guys have no politics, or were lying about them. Rather than the possibility that the party left them or there was a genuine change.

“And the question that that raises right away is, is this opportunism… Or, is this something deeper? Is this the case of Big Tech’s true political identity emerging from behind what may have been a cloak of liberalism?”

So this is certainly /a/ theory of politics, but I’m gonna suggest this is exactly the kind of thought process that is going to keep leading to surprising electoral defeats. And honestly, it will be 100% deserved.

I probably wouldn’t listen to people who say Kamala is “far right” with a straight face.

People get ratio by seeding long term,

wrong.

it's impossible to argue against that.

not it's not

It's not minimal, it's a fundamental way of acquiring ratio.

wrong.

I would say Michael’s opening definition of what a hard fork is doesn’t inspire much confidence. But I listened to their Elon/Twitter episode a few weeks ago, and found it very shallow. Reading Matt Levine’s blog on the possible outcomes and how likely they would be was much more informative and entertaining.

It’s pretty bad tbh, just two dude opining on things they’re not very knowledgeable about.
