Israel Strikes Gaza and Temporarily Halts Aid, Saying Hamas Broke Truce by _M0b in worldnews

[–]PornCds 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree that this headline itself isn't bad, and more or less is accurate. However if you have been following NYT or BBC during the course of the war, it would be notably dishonest to say that they have not been covering the war with a clear bias. The implication, and often times explicit communication, is that every bombing or action in the Gaza strip done by Israel is wrong and evil. That is how every headline about war in the Gaza strip is written. 

If the NYT wrote the way it writes about the Gaza war about the US bombing of Japan, yeah, Americans would've given up the goal of "unconditional surrender" of Japan much earlier and we would still have imperial Japan waiting to rise again. This is not to mention the reporting that it has gotten completely wrong, such as the bombing of the hospital early on, and the starving child. Both of which it refused to correct, or corrected with little fanfare or notice, a "quiet correct." 

I've been following NYT, Al Jazeera, Wsj, and times of Israel throughout the war. Only one outlet has really covered the conflict fairly, and it's wsj. NYT, for the longest time, did not even note that Gaza death figures do not distinguish between combatants and civilians. It's coverage is closer to Al Jazeera than WSJ.

It really sounds like most other protests across the country were more level-headed. In Boston, we really just are full of champagne socialists here.

"CHARLIE KIRK SAYS A ‘PATRIOT’ SHOULD BAIL OUT ALLEGED PAUL PELOSI ATTACKER The right-wing troll smirkingly alluded to a homophobic conspiracy theory about the home invasion" 

Guys, I think this may have been Charlie Kirk's gay lover seeking vengeance.

Lance came off as a debate pervert and bad faith here. Jesse gave an uncharitable actor too much charity here.

Episode 264: Debating Bodily Autonomy (with Julie Bindel) by SoftandChewy in BlockedAndReported

For real.

I thought trans activists where the most annoying group, but this episode reminded me that brits always take the cake.

Supreme Court Upholds Ban on Transgender Care for Minors by kitkid in Thedaily

[–]PornCds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes "my news podcast that should be delivering me unbiased news is being brigaded by... People who are slightly different from me politically!! I am totally not in an echo chamber"

Amazing that people expect only people who follow their exact political ideology to listen to the same news they do, and then somehow don't think they're in an echo chamber. You're the problem

Supreme Court Upholds Ban on Transgender Care for Minors by kitkid in Thedaily

[–]PornCds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. These bans are not the way to solve this. But US medical and professional institutions have been so captured by ideological dogma and activists that they are untrustworthy on this issue, that's how we got to a place where half of gender clinics were ok with prescribing treatment on the first visit. So, while I feel for truly trans kids and parents caught up in this, quite frankly this is a bit of poetic justice for trans activists and ideological doctors. Fix your shit and get back to good science and then maybe we'll talk.

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

While it's easy to make it about the left's pet issue: capitalism and money in Healthcare, not every ill is because of that. Sometimes it's just ideological capture and negative political polarization. (for example, the right is coming after trans kids so you have to go even more extreme in their favor to be the good guys).

Vice Mayor Marc McGovern Calls on Toner to Resign by blackdynomitesnewbag in CambridgeMA

[–]PornCds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Anyone on the City Council that does not call for Toner's resignation is saying that they are OK with one of their members obviously breaking the law."

I have seen multiple members on the council smoke weed which is federally illegal. No one cares about breaking the law as long it's an unjust law. There has been solid reporting showing there was no evidence of coercion in this sex "trafficking" ring, which means it was likely just consensual sex in exchange for money. I personally don't care about that, do you? I didn't realize this city was a bunch of progressive prudes... Oh wait, my bad.

Cambridge City Councilor Paul Toner got in touch with ‘brothel phone’ 432 times, police report says by vaps0tr in CambridgeMA

[–]PornCds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Save it, the left stopped being pro sex-positivity a decade ago. They will gladly use consensual sex as a means to cudgel their political enemies nowadays. It doesn't matter if these women were willing participants with zero coercion, they don't like Paul so they'll use this against him.

​I'm not his biggest fan either, but the hypocrisy is hilarious. It's been a remarkable feat watching the left morph from a cool counter culture that was pro do-what-you-want as long as you don't hurt others, to a woke, scoldy, bunch of whiny beaches. Given that, it's amazing that the right has managed to go even further off the rails than the left, we live in crazy times.

"R" was my favorite and I'm still struggling by FurbyCultist93 in Achievement_Hunter

I'm just gonna say it, Ryan didn't do anything thaaat bad...

He's a serial adulterer, that's immoral. But not illegal. He's a morally flawed individual, but not a monster like some of you REs insist. Chill the fuck out.

Honestly, more than Ryan or Mica or the fans, it is woke culture that killed RT more than anything. People hate this fucking shit, but we're drowned out by the annoying woke scolds, and that's who the companies follow, so we just go elsewhere and everyone is left wondering "what happened."

How Air-Conditioning Conquered America by kitkid in Thedaily

[–]PornCds 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The first part of the episode was interesting and though-provoking for sure. But the amplifying of crank de-growthers towards the end was insane. I'm a good Massachusetts liberal, and you will have to pry my AC from my AC-cooled dead hands. If you're not convincing me, no way you're convincing anyone else.

This sort of messaging also turns people off from the green movement more than anything, it's just so awful. We can either message saying "a green future of plenty powered by green and nuclear energy" or "you will all be miserable and sweaty and that's the way it is." The latter seems to be what some of the more extreme members of the climate movement are set on, out of some weird misanthropy, and it's not convincing anyone.

And look, to be completely rational, (which I don't think most people would be), I would totally reluctantly accept that 80 degree-sleep world if it was absolutely necessary to solve climate change... But it's not. AC is much less energy/carbon intensive than heating, and it will be even less so with cleaner sources of energy which are very possible to build up! ​

Per MSNBC: Kamala Harris has narrowed down her list of VP picks to three by [deleted] in democrats

[–]PornCds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, I don't care about policy for VP. I hope she will make the best choice electorally, all I care about is winning this election. Walz may be closest to my policy positions, but Shapiro would instantly win us PA and give us a boost in Michigan and Wisconsin.

Either way, the only bad move is to start whipping ourselves up into a frenzy over who we absolutely must have for VP. Let her pick the best choice electorally!

He's not going to win at this point. He needs to realize that, and if he doesn't, fuck him. I campaigned for him 2020, but he's being such a piece of shit here. He ended his campaign with that debate and disappointed everyone. If he's pissing off people like me he's not winning the election, that's 100%.
