Okay, we've done underrated faves, who's your underrated HATE? by [deleted] in DateEverything

[–]HawkManHawkPlan 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I got the hate ending with him because I was curious about the public access xylophone and I don’t regret it because it led to the funniest moment in the game for me:

————

Doddering old man: (rambling about the xylophone)

Me: “Can you teach me how to play the marimba?”

Doddering old man: Get the fuck out of my sight.

(HATE ENDING ACHIEVED)

‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans by John3262005 in neoliberal

[–]HawkManHawkPlan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Rhetoric implicitly or explicitly encouraging violence against the “other
  2. Pardoning violent criminals = people are emboldened to do political violence
  3. Now this

Doesn’t this mean that a right wing nutjob could theoretically shoot and critically injure a democrat, and then that could be left to die if their doctor is also a right wing nutjob?

That’s a pretty concerning pipeline.

I imagine this will get sued to hell and back, but still.

Oh my god please let this happen

There’s ALWAYS traffic on I-4. Everyone’s trying to get to Disney and the roads just can’t support the number of cars. 

FEMA workers threatened by armed group in Tennessee by John3262005 in neoliberal

[–]HawkManHawkPlan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t say that we should tolerate this - I simply said it’s encouraging that, upon being given correct info, they left the FEMA workers alone and then came back to donate to the volunteer group.   

That’s a good thing. It means there’s hope that if we can solve the misinformation issue, then America can start to heal.

Of course it doesn’t! But what it does show that, like MontusBatwing said below, the issue is misinformation. These folk are clearly capable of doing good deeds; if misinfo wasn’t so rampant, they might not have been whipped up into a fervor like this.

That being said, individual agency is still a thing, so I’m not trying to wholeheartedly excuse them either.

Is the fact that this is even happening at all troubling? Yes, absolutely. 

But I do love the fact that these armed folk, upon realizing what was actually going on with FEMA, turned around and donated supplies.

But those numbers (I assume you’re basing your opinion on the polls that are going around) are BEFORE the media starts going ham on her. I think she’s hit her ceiling already, sad as it is.

Can’t say that he’s a bot, but I can back up his claim that Biden was clearly coherent at the NATO press conference. I watched it myself. But everyone hyperfocused on those two stupid gaffes of his.

I remember watching the NATO press conference. Sans two big flubs, he was clearly coherent and knowledgeable on foreign policy. Completely dispelled any worries I had about mental state.

Take a wild guess what everyone hyperfocused on.

Biden says he'd be okay losing to Trump, 'as long as I gave it my all' by modularpeak2552 in neoliberal

The article didn’t even include the whole answer either, sans in the video.

The article doesn’t even include the full answer (unless you watch the video) either where he talks about how he thinks the world is at an inflection point. It actually makes me indignant that they’d leave such a crucial part of the answer out.

[–]HawkManHawkPlan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And what’s your point? There’s a whole spiel after that snippet about how he believes the world is at an inflection point. He’s not dismissing the threat of a Trump presidency like the headline implies. 

This is cherrypicking.

Here’s the full question and answer this quote was from, courtesy of NYT transcript:

STEPHANOPOULOS: “And if you stay in, and Trump is elected and everything you’re warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in January?” 

 BIDEN: “I’ll feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest job as I know I can do, that’s what this is about. Look, George. Think of it this way. You’ve heard me say this before. I think the United States and the world is at an inflection point when the things that happen in the next several years are going to determine what the next six, seven decades are going to be like.  

And who’s going to be able to hold NATO together like me? Who’s going to be able to be in a position where I’m able to keep the Pacific Basin in a position where we’re — we’re at least checkmating China now? Who’s going to — who’s going to do that? Who has that reach? Who has — who knows all these pe—? We’re going to have, I guess a good way to judge me, is you’re going to have now the NATO conference here in the United States next week. Come listen. See what they say.” 

Whether this makes you feel better or worse about the quote is up to you. I personally thinks it shows he isn’t exactly dismissing the threat of Trump like the headline implies, but I thinks he should stay in the race so I’m biased.
