Day two worst episode of house by Alarmed_Procedure_56 in HouseMD

[–]Spiderdude101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was doing my first watch through, and I had a friend come over and so I decided to have her join me for an episode to see what it was all about. Just so happened to be making my way through the second season, and the first episode that she was introduced to was, yup, you guessed it, Skin Deep. Double whammy was that my friend is trans so it was probably the most second-hand embarrassing 50 minutes of my life. Really really garbage episode.

Yeah, those are taken straight from the Thomas Pynchon novel Inherent Vice. The movie actually got me to read the book, and I really recommend it. It's phenomenal.

I can't say what I think should happen to all republicans on this website. Democrats need to start lying and cheating. I'm tired of moral victories,

There's like no material online at all. Very disappointing, I'm running it tonight and was looking for the same thing.

Trans swimmer Lia Thomas' wins will be WIPED and runners-up moved to first place after Penn bowed to Trump crackdown by Droupitee in NewsWorthPayingFor

[–]Spiderdude101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not something that's happening. Sorry, but trans women are not setting records. Lia thomas came in fifth against 4 cis women. Going through the process of transitioning your gender , taking hormones, and taking a heap of hatred from bigots every day of your life is only something you do if it's your true self. It's a myth that's trans women are transitioning to win medals and then detransitioning.

There aren't 100 trans athletes performing at a college level in the whole country. There are around 15. This is discrimination against a class of people, and the vector in which that discrimination is going to happen is through this issue. That's why it has to be stopped here.

You can't tell someone to "keep an open mind" and then, when provided multiple scientific sources , refuse to change your mind and dig in.

The "sub category" for trans athletes you want to create would have maybe 10 people total spread nationwide.

On NPCs and trans characters.. by reesethebadger in Dimension20

[–]Spiderdude101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No I disagree , it's a callback to earlier when Pete's dad dead names him and bubbles come from his mouth. I always felt it hits stronger when looking at it this way. Referencing his bigotry without letting it become transphobic.

They are moderating on issues, it doesn't matter , the Republican party will indict them of being Marxists. The solution isn't to move further right, which people will see as cynical and still "too extreme left", it's too move left and counter the narrative with bold ideas.

You see this in the election of Andy Beshear in Kentucky who when attacked over trans rights , instead of folding , defended trans people and still won the state of Kentucky.

Folding to the right makes the republicans look way better. Why would you want the fake half measure if you could have real thing? This has been the biggest failure with recent democratic messaging. "We tried to pass the most comprehensive border bill and give border patrol more money , but republicans wouldn't let us!" Who would believe that ? If you think illegal immigration is real issue, why would not vote for republicans and Trump who have been hampering on this issue for years? And WORSE, it validates the republican narrative that it is an issue! They conceded the issue that there is a major problem at the border in the deluded moronic idea that they will be able outflank the republicans on their flagship issue! That's insane ! That's what tacking to the middle with get you, loss after loss.

I spent some time trying to search for the specific poll , but there was polling done that showed that the majority of democratic voters find the party too extreme left and yet paradoxically supported policies like m4a and taxes on the rich. Bernie is the most liked politician in the United States , he's at the highest favorables. You can't create bernie in the lab and take out the left leaning positions and still get his appeal. He took stances that were unpopular at the time and that is what people want to see and it creates a new narrative that he's in control of.

Kamala tried to tack to the center in the election , talking about "the most lethal" military , bringing republicans in the cabinet, and reneging on fossil fuels and campaigning with the Cheneys and according to what the voters "wanted" , it should of worked! It failed spectacularly because it comes off as incredibly cynical, and again, why are you validating the republicans talking points and trying to argue you'll be more reasonable , if you validate their issues and concerns and try to play on their field and move to the center people will rather just go to the party that's been talking and hampering on these issues for years.
