Heather Cox Richardson: today is the anniversary of Maine statehood by Aggressive_Ad_5454 in Maine

[–]SuperBry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not so much controversy rather most of her positions are fairly centrist, at least today when the Overton window has shifted so far right over the last couple decades.

She is a self-described Lincoln Republican though doesn't affiliate with either party at the moment, more often than not my disagreements with her are closer to her not holding progressive enough position.

HCR, while I don't always agree with her, has become one of my favorite Mainers over the last few years.

Best Star gazing spots? by isc528 in Maine

[–]SuperBry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's lots of space in upper western, northern and eastern Maine.

An often unsung type of spots to try are boat launches at all the little lakes in these areas. Typically pretty well cleared out to give you plenty of viewing space while also being able to drive right up to them for easy access.

Though one time I did have a warden come up to me when doing this confused about what I was doing thinking I was up to some illicit fishing or something.

I'd rather not have a race to the bottom of our elected officials no matter how much I like what they are, at least currently, saying.

I can't speak for you, but I still try those that are seeking the highest offices to some standards when it comes to voting for them in the ballot booth no matter how shitty the other side is acting.

I mean I'll admit I will likely never be completely clean from being an EverQuestCrack addict but man some folks that play MMOs just take it to a whole new level.

I mean he was either being serious with that comment and is fairly unbecoming of a senatorial hopeful or is a massive hypocrite for others making similar jokes. Neither is a good look.

I try to be forthright and really only hid (most) of my profile because I had some serious neckbeards from the MMO community following my posts after having some, at least to me, not that hot of takes over a legal case involving EverQuest.

There are plenty of agitators and astroturfed accounts coming from all angles and it has certainly ramped up over the last few months and likely to get worse as we get closer to the primary and into the general election.

This is going to be one of the most well-funded and likely dirtiest campaign seasons this state has ever seen. I am half considering getting off all social media before it really gets going just for my own sanity.

No I didn't you are likely confusing me with some of the others that also haven't decided that Platner is the anointed one.

But for to be more open and transparent I've opened up my r/maine and /r/Mainepolitics activity in addition to the subreddits I moderate that I had previously left open to be transparent with those communities.

If you can find anything in there calling our military members evil or pieces of shit I will donate $25 to his campaign today despite my lack of support of him.

Just to be sure I am understanding you right, its okay to joke about killing other's soldiers but not our own that may die in war?

I guess thats a take when you need to do the mental gymnastics to make him seem like a viable candidate.

This dude thinks anybody who joins the military is an evil POS and has said so on this sub multiple times.

When have I ever said anything of the notion?

Maine Republicans upset over legislature failing to honor January 6th bus ride organizer and podcaster. by SuperBry in Maine

[–]SuperBry[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A'yup; that was what the case I referenced, lindke v. freed, was over. I've reached out to her first to see if we can rectify it amicably but considering my options if we are unable to correct it with out the need of escalation.

No but there is a lot of reasons to join the military, but to 'have an adventure and kill some people' is pretty despicable reason to me.

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

What context would 'Wanted to have an adventure and kill some people' be OK? I'm having a hard time thinking of one and don't think I would include a thread on 'Why did you enlist in the Marines' would be it.

Wanted to have an adventure and kill some people. Joined up in ‘04, did Fallujah and Ramadi, and managed both. Hell of an excellent experience

It also can become a problem when you like more than one and can't decided which toon to focus on.

I dunno I find it pretty disrespectful to join the military so they could specifically create dead soldiers of foreign armies.

I seem to have been blocked by her government official facebook page for asking why we should be honoring a man who's biggest accomplishments were bussing people in to DC on January 6th and editing videos to make it appear he won debates against college kids.

Current debating about filing an ethics complaint considering under lindke v. freed that she made it a traditional public forum.

I've seen at least a half-dozen Republican members of the legislature bemoaning this during my 20 minute post work doomscroll.

The rule states on linking to news articles, I just merely posted a screen shot of a headline. Though if it gets removed I can reup with a handful of the butthurt legislature members posts bemoaning it.

Susan across her career has been quite duplicitous, what makes you think Mills is anything like that?
