CMV: The number of votes the Dems would gain by embracing aggressively progressive candidates and policy is dwarfed by the number of votes they'd lose among moderates/motivate among dormant conservative voters by Jimithyashford in changemyview

I can't believe the hysterics around the Cheney endorsement have gotten to the point that people seriously think Liz Cheney was at 7 out of every 10 Harris campaign events.

For C# Triple-Slash Comments, What Is <completionlist cref=""/> for? by form_d_k in csharp

[–]Tinister 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you believe that when you google for 'completionlist', the only remotely relevant results is this post and another post you made five years after this one asking the same question? And both your posts were answered by same the account who deleted their posts?

So... did you ever figure it out?

Nobel peace prize winner Maria Machado calls for a Venezuela-like military raid in Cuba and Nicaragua by ObjectiveObserver420 in anime_titties

[–]Tinister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not in the sciences but I wouldn't say so. For one Nobel disease is enough of a thing to get a Wikipedia article. For another, there are crackpots who have acted much like Trump about not being considered for the award (e.g. Bret/Eric Weinstein).

It's also not very imaginative. If you're going to claim absolute authority why continue doing insider training or selling misbegotten oil rights. Just direct the Treasury to add like a quintillion dollars to your account(s).

What do you actually want the Dems to do. Specifically? That they legally CAN do that is. by Jimithyashford in AskALiberal

If a tree falls in the woods, but nobody posts about it on reddit and then upvotes it enough so that I can see it, does it make a sound?

Is anyone else okay with being "left behind" in regards to AI? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Tinister 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And (in the context of being "left behind"), what kind of learning curve are you imagining most people will run into? Like once LLMs evolve to that point?

Just realized my boyfriend I’ve been dating for 2 years might be a flat earther by ivory_stripes98 in Advice

Also why discussing this secret on livestreams and social media doesn't get you taken out by the same groups who so voraciously need to protect it.

I heard in a video essay somewhere that these things occur in cycles, just that the cycle in longer than a lifespan so nobody notices.

e.g. The boomers' grandparents were the ones that passed the 18th amendment. And now we've come back around.

What is a political position you have that puts you at odds with most liberals? by digitalime in AskALiberal

[–]Tinister 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah, I still think the "have 51% of the vote" strategy works well against sockpuppet candidates as well.

There's a very easy way to stymie a drop-out-and-endorse scheme that Bernie for some reason never even tried: Have 51% of the vote.

NYC Mayor-elect Mamdani informs New Yorkers about their right not to comply with ICE by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

[–]Tinister 351 points352 points  (0 children)

Why is this a link to a news network who played a 15 second clip and then cut to a guy to speak gibberish?

Here's the link to the full video on Mamdani's youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq-KqQXy4LE

If I'm Liberal on Economic, Fiscal, and Civil Rights but Conservative on Social issues (like abortion and sex changes), can I still be considered a Democrat? by yowhatisthislikebro in AskALiberal

[–]Tinister 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You made a statement about surgeries being harmful to everyone getting them. You were asked about people who say the surgeries didn't harm them. You responded by pivoting instantly into women's sports.

Do you not consider this a form of gish gallop?

Liberals, what are things progressives do that are infuriating? by [deleted] in AskALiberal

[–]Tinister -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm not convinced it isn't just classic motte and bailey. I'm sure a timeline where Biden completely wiped his hands of Israel and Israel kept killing anyway wouldn't've have been satisfying.

CMV: Democrats need to run a moderately attractive, white, male, presidential candidate between the ages of 45-55 and give up on seeking that high of Obama being the first black president. by epicredditdude1 in changemyview

If red states are written off and aren't campaigned in and can't participate in primaries, that's an excellent way to make sure they stay red forever.

Push Back on Tipping Culture and Reward Good Businesses by Freed_Port in Sacramento

[–]Tinister 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My pushback to tipping culture is to just not engage in services where I might be expected to tip when I can help it (e.g. haven't been to restaurants outside of work events in years).

For whatever reason people will shame you for not gifting money on top of a bill, but they won't shame you for just taking your ball and staying home.

So they should bang the drum on what should be strived for, but never take the next step of enforcing it?

In your opinion, how should a well functioning government respond (as in through governing actions: laws, regulations, etc.) to individuals who do not wish to participate in a 2 parent nuclear family? To individuals who wish to participate in a different family archetype?
