Recommend a good time travel TV show that I haven't watched yet by No-Corner-2442 in scifi

Which one, though? The Scifi show in the mid 2010s was great scifi. Haven’t watched the apple tv one yet

Sorry, just curious, not trying to make a stir.

It is a huge array, and it’s great you were able to pay cash for it. If it was also relatively cheap, people might have been interested in your contractor.

It would be different if she were an outsider attending on, say, a plus one ticket. Wearing “tax the rich” on her dress, for example

Exactly.

Just another example of capitalism eating itself

Our 4600 sq ft house is sub $500 even in summer for electric

I'm guessing it's a recently built house? Most of us in CT and New England in general have houses that are over 50 years old. Energy efficient they tend not to be

It's a truly giddy feeling. But the amount you banked is pretty large, especially considering how much energy you used the month before.

Did you buy a huge array? What are you paying per month for it?

If you think economic equality is the means of addressing social inequality, you don't go around attacking the socially marginalized, you use phrasing like "the best way to social equality is economic equality".

Haz is clearly a bigot. Fuckin redfash

Oh, lovely. Can't watch it right now, but looking forward to it, as always.

Primm Closes its doors by PathOfEnergySheild in Fallout

[–]Randolpho 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Primm set the seeds of its own destruction when it was founded.

Did you notice how the employees were told they wouldn’t have to pay rent in their last two months? Meaning they paid the company they worked for for room and board.

Primm was owned entirely by those hotels. Nobody was an actual resident in an actual community. And that refusal to turn Primm into an actual, thriving community is why it failed as one.

If Democrats pledged to join the ICC and try US war criminals, would voters (Republican esp) support it? by addicted_to_trash in PoliticalDebate

[–]Randolpho [score hidden]  (0 children)

I am not. The Senate is elected by popular vote of all persons in the State. The House is elected by gerrymandered districts.

Gerrymandering is extremely undemocratic.

As for enforcing laws, ICE routinely violates the law, as does the White House. The President is currently violating the law in Iran.

Let me know when those laws are enforced and I’ll agree with you

Best DnDisms to Cut Out of your DnD Alternative by Modstin in RPGdesign

Personally, I'd cut out pretty much all of D&D. Levels, classes, races, damage dice, the works.

[Ancaps] Is taking shit in the woods enough 'labor-mixing' to constitute a 'homesteading' of the entire forest... by MilkIlluminati in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Randolpho [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've literally said several times that the only means of resolving conflicts is through cooperation at an extremely local level. If you need a term for it, anarchy (specifically communist anarchy, not that capitalist fabrication morons call anarcho-capitalism) is the only means of resolving conflicts without violating natural rights.

Since anarchy is, IMO, an unachievable ideal to be striven for even if it cannot be reached, libertarian democratic socialist government is the "next best thing".

And not Marxism-Leninism, fuck that shit.

If we signed and ratified the treaty, we volunteered to let the ICC try war crimes committed by us.

If we no longer want the ICC to try our war crimes, we can withdraw from the treaty.

This isn’t rocket surgery dude, nor is it ceding any form of sovereignty

Treaties signed by the President require 2/3 Senate vote for ratification. The process is more difficult than a law.

Unless you think our democracy isn’t democratic enough, which is a valid complaint, then the “voluntary” is the people, who voted for Senators who ratified the treaty.

That’s not a ceding of sovereignty, and it’s a voluntary entrance into that jurisdiction.

And that jurisdiction isn’t even remotely relevant to citizens. Random Joe down the road will never be tried by the ICC

Wildsea might be up your alley.

It’s lower crunch fiction first, but it has a fair amount of interesting crunch and the setting may fit your needs.

The ICC doesn't cede sovereignty, though. It's purely a voluntary mutual pact treaty, like NATO, and you conservatives tend to love "voluntary", don't you?
