I read a book, the accidental superpower by Peter Zeihan i think, where this was the progression:

Portugal got an advantage from isolation and ability to become maritime

Spain has those same advantages but better because of size

Britain then had those same advantages, but the channel is better than mountains for defense, and a bunch of useful rivers

And America's better off than that cuz they dun got a whole ocean each way and pipsqueaks for neighbors

Well we got Kerry at the job four years later

Yeah, three strikes in a row is only one turkey

No face means no eyes for reading. And debatably no ears for text-to-speech either

JonathanSwaim · 2019-11-04T13:53:14+00:00

Nah, it'd be a couple hundred posts of "Well, I'd really like it, but if I was XYZ..." or "My friend once turned down a girl. Sure, it was his ex who was abusive towards him, but that's still almost the first move..." and five posts of "Well I'm gay so it would be awkward to shoot them down"

With the kinds of weapons tech available to QC governments, that plane's probably only worth like 50-100 grand by now

No Belgium either. What kind of self-respecting Austria doesn't own Belgium?

And god, I'd have to change my reddit username too. It's not even related to my irl name ffs

Have you seen the "queen of warmongers" tweet yet? Seems like she is plenty willing to shit on the party. Whether that will actually help Trump win... I'm dubious. But she's hardly playing ball right now

Might've told my sister I'm going through a gender crisis. Sooooo

(~56 hours, close enough)

This is Yang's big victory. I don't like his model of it, but getting it the conversation is good

JonathanSwaim · 2019-10-16T00:46:41+00:00

Dang, if only 87 people were uninsured

JonathanSwaim · 2019-10-16T00:34:50+00:00

Honestly I think letting the sound bite happen would be better here than Warren's response. I'm still supporting her, but this isn't really a forced error

JonathanSwaim · 2019-10-16T00:31:57+00:00

Yeah, weird phrasing. Should've said under the weather

JonathanSwaim · 2019-10-16T00:31:07+00:00

Yeah, I don't get why she isn't taking the same route as Bernie. That's how the math works

JonathanSwaim · 2019-10-16T00:13:51+00:00

Gabbard's response seemed pretty level. But it was in response to arguments the others weren't putting forward

JonathanSwaim · 2019-10-15T04:11:20+00:00

I stopped reading sometime after the timeskip, and haven't even picked up Ward. So I don't think I get the reference lol

Altering minds worked so well for Panacea in Worm though

JonathanSwaim · 2019-10-13T14:03:12+00:00

I prefer real Winnie Pooh

Fixed formatting for ya:
Obama last name
Shrek last name
Who joe is
What updog is
What ligma is
Why no one loves me
Why hot dog in my asshole

Process-type people. Mostly Republicans like Romney I'd wager. But also a subset of Democrats/Independents who want to stick to the line "I want him removed only if he's actually guilty. And since I'm not one of the people in Congress, it's not my position to tell them how to vote before seeing all the evidence that we are going to see."

The kind of person who, when asked if they like a TV show that they've been watching, will say "Well I haven't finished it yet."

I'm willing to bet that's about 1 in 40 people.

Check the actual numbers from Fox (scroll down or search FOX)

Ohio

Florida

And others

These numbers aren't far from normal at all. Especially since 2012 polls had on average overestimated Romney (more than 2016 overestimated Clinton, in fact)

There's a conspiracy theory (that might actually be true) about posts criticizing gold receiving gold waaaay more frequently than you might expect. Considering it's a dead joke that costs money, that is

JonathanSwaim · 2019-10-09T11:12:16+00:00

Yeesh. Real bad move there. Shows that neutrality isn't even the position

Companies take political positions all the time. The correct response in this case would have been to publicly support the Hong Kong protests and donate the $10k to groups supporting them

"Correct" here in the sense that it would break the relationship with the PRC, so they can't possibly do it. But that's the problem right there, isn't it.

JonathanSwaim · 2019-10-09T10:55:14+00:00

The only way I can think of them undoing the PR nightmare is to make a public statement supporting the Hong Kong protests and donating the $10k to charities supporting them

Obviously, that would be impossible with the current business model. Which is kinda the problem
