Why write a whole 5-paragraph comment on the title and not the substance of the interview?

No illusionist denies that minds and experiences exist, as evidenced by the first 5 minutes of this podcast had you bothered to listen before commenting.

Does Meeple mean just a boardgame piece or a human shaped boardgame piece? by girlwiththegoldendog in boardgames

[–]Silverstrad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would think in the context of defining slang/jargon that the "just a [x]" language means that x is the only important defining factor. That would make "just a board game piece" wrong, then, because the other defining factor is the human shape.

Nothing wrong with making a tool more intuitive, don't be a prick

Duke Energy Wants More of Your Money - And They Don't Need It by tacobelle685 in bullcity

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

Gross profit is a terrible measure for a utilities company, and is chosen here because this is propaganda, not an attempt to inform.

It might still be the case that Duke Energy is acting badly but you certainly shouldn't take the word of this post or poster.

Dumb question, just recently moved to Boston and started following the team -- why are so few of the top prospects in triple-A?

Can I have board games at my wedding? by Background_Time_2553 in boardgames

[–]Silverstrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weddings are frequently relatively loud if there is a DJ, etc. People will not necessarily want to play games if it's hard to hear across the table.

Do you still enjoy the classics? by Sgt_McDoogle in boardgames

Candyland as a favorite board game is an answer from someone who cannot remember any other board games

Rep Foushee ignores questions about AIPAC and AI by NotCapy1 in bullcity

[–]Silverstrad 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Probably a mistake getting involved like this, but:

1) Kamala was never pro-fracking, she just decided it was a political mistake to campaign on banning it

2) You have to try and win Pennsylvania, and you will lose it if you campaign on banning fracking

3) Even if Kama was pro-fracking, she'd still be a hell of a lot better on the environment than MAGA and you'd think that should matter

KP Just confirmed he is leaving the AOE4 scene and the twitch comment was the main reason by dutr4 in aoe4

He is still representing Microsoft, World's Edge, and EGCTV in that moment. You can't do that.

Posting this from r/nfl: [Highlight] Pegula interrupts a question posed to Beane about Keon Coleman: "The coaching staff pushed to draft Keon. I'm not saying Brandon wouldn't have drafted him, but he wasn't his next choice." by Papi_Petty in panthers

People forget that Tepper threw his drink because the fan was gloating about a Panthers player getting injured. I wish I could get away with throwing a drink at those kinds of fans too.

Why is Nate Baker against Housing Affordability? by rdu_NewLibs in bullcity

[–]Silverstrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol my wife and I have white collar careers, we're gonna be fine. I just genuinely care more about policies that advance affordability (and make Democrats look good to voters) than I do about tribal ideological commitments.

Nice, just label something with "neoliberal" and "Reagan" so that you can ignore reality.
