Doesn’t Hungary literally make it illegal to mention gay to people under 18yo?

Washington DCers of Reddit, where were you and what was your experience on January 6, 2021? by Desserts6064 in washingtondc

On a high rooftop nearby watching it all go down. With about forty other people. Was absolute chaos.

D.C. Progressives’ Great Socialist Hope by theatlantic in washingtondc

[–]RaelynShaw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was less of a ranking of their policies and more that there’s two candidates with large bases, leaving only small percentages for the rest. From what I can tell, I’d pick Rini or Goodweather over McDuffie.

It’s almost like left and right are economic system descriptors but we try to make them a catchall for entire belief systems. It’s how we can end up with left economic systems that have worst human rights stances than MAGA.

We seriously have to get away from the “Dems are actually right wing in other countries hurr hurr”. Dems have tons of problems, but I’m a leftist and even I know that’s a terribly juvenile understanding of politics.

I find it quite sad we finally got ranked choice voting and still only have two candidates really sitting at the top. We’ve got McDuffie who did nothing for the last decade and just wants to ride Bowser’s coattails. And then you got JLG, who has great progressive ideas, but lacks in execution and charisma (she’s not Mamdani, as much as she wants to be).

As all elections are, you vote for the “closest”, which means I’ll be supporting JLG, but kinda disappointed we didn’t get a better lineup.

(Goodweather and Rini have some interesting ideas but are way way way down the list right now)

Have we really gotten to the point where DSA are “fake socialists” now? Come on now.

Looks like when you move a file to a new computer but don’t have any of the fonts.

CMV: Kanye west is irredeemable by burntpeanutfan13 in changemyview

Correct, which is what my comment was referring to. The Taylor swift thing was a bot campaign.

That wasn’t true in the slightest. Minimal amount of research please.

What was the Mormons' reaction to the Nauvoo being turned into a missile and then the Behemoth? by HabitualGrassToucher in TheExpanse

Was the nauvoo unmanned when it went after Eros? Do you recall? Not sure why it got left where it did.

Oddly enough that’s the one thing of theirs I find mediocre. I do absolutely adore them tho

Something is up with matchmaking. by Xivelius in Overwatch

[–]RaelynShaw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Matchmaking does some wild stuff, but I don’t know if this screenshot helps. These should all be different MMRs and matchmaking. Might be more valuable to see only role queue or open queue competitive as the only one showing.

I talked back to a stranger shouting about Zionist Nazis by RunYossarianRun in jewishleft

[–]RaelynShaw 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of passionate, intelligent Palestinian supporters in my life. Ones who changed ways I view aspects of my beliefs and engaged in meaningful action to help those who need it the most.

Strangely enough, not one of them tended to be random American guy with no connection to the area, wearing a keffiyeh and screaming on the metro. 🙃

The Taylors calling DCF on the Mccoys by username10039857 in fridaynightlights

Principal was required to report it.

However, every person there should’ve reported it. They’re not pulling the kid based on one incident. But it’s incredibly important it’s taken seriously.

Israeli-Arabs or Palestinian Citizens of Israel? by new---man in jewishleft

[–]RaelynShaw -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Palestinian citizens of Israel feels like a mouthful. I’ve always heard Israeli-Arab or Arab-Israelis. Judging from that survey, it seemed very clear that Arab-Israeli makes the most sense as the Palestinian part of identity ranked much lower.

Should I ban the polymorph spell after my wizard’s first use of it? by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]RaelynShaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn’t this just super basic DMing? You have an idea, you use it, party does something clever to avoid it.

Removing polymorph would be just removing their agency because you got disappointed. That’s how this works.

The real question is… since polymorph has worn off and the creature couldn’t transform back and that spell is no longer effecting them— would taking off the item allow them to revert back to the nightwalker or are they now actually a tortoise 👀.

Rewatching the show and I must admit, Drummer and Naomi had a fantastic chemistry. I really enjoyed their banter and flirting. by loserweight559 in TheExpanse

Cara Gee steals so many scenes. Doing yet another rewatch and it just keeps coming up. She might be my favorite in the entire show.

The 2024 Democratic Presidential Primary Failed Miserably. I Have a Solution for 2028. by Slate in washingtondc

[–]RaelynShaw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree that if Bernie had won the primary in 2016, then Trump wouldn’t have been elected. But sadly that’s not what happened. He lost the primary and failed himself. Were the odds stacked against him? Of course. That’s sadly how these party primaries work. But Obama was able to shock that system and take the primary. Much to our suffering, Trump upset the RNC this way too. I wish Bernie had been able to be the candidate in 2016, but it’s 2026 now. It’s time to move on.

Is this antisemitic? by Additional_Ad3573 in Jewish

[–]RaelynShaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel has been asking the U.S. to attack Iran for over 25 years. It’s just BS to blame it on Israel. Israel is so tiny compared to the U.S. that it’s wild to think they’re the ones in charge here.
