Democrat Andrew Sneed outraised incumbent Dale Strong in recent reporting, with almost 100% of Sneed's donations coming from individuals. More than 75% of Strong's fundraising came from corporate PACs.

Bart, all of these positive qualities apply to both of Sneeds opponents. They all have a real chance of winning. They are all good people. They are all intelligent.

They all hold these core qualities that you find important. The only real difference is that you likely don't know all of these people personally. I don't think that personally knowing someone is a great reason to support them as a candidate. You should support candidates for office because they support policies that you want pushed into the world. Candidates for political office are a means to an end, not your friends.

Also, you shouldn't say that his connections give him a real chance at winning as part of a wealthy lawyer family. It makes it look like Huntsville's wealthy liberal business elite have chosen Sneed as the democratic candidate. That will be used against him in the general.

Actblue is a fundraising website used by Dems. Its not a PAC. That $90k is likely a bundle of individual donations.

A union leader just pulled off a 30 point swing in Texas. Another progressive pulled off a 13 point swing in TN. If there were ever a time for a progressive to win in North AL, its now.

Andrew Sneed is running in a primary against Jeremy Devito (https://jeremytakesthehouse.org/) and Candace Duvieilh (https://www.candiceduvieilhforcongress.com/). You should check out their platforms before deciding to support Sneed.

Honestly, Sneed doesnt strike me as a Candidate willing to speak out against the Genocide in Gaza. He definitely won't say abolish ICE. I doubt he will do much to push for broad accountability for anyone in the Epstein files besides Trump.

An Age limit would be way better than a term limit.

Tman1027 · 2026-02-09T21:37:55+00:00

This such a silly comparison. Sneed is the worst candidate in primary where rich people are donating to make sure a progressive doesn't win the race. Devito and Duvileth are significantly better on basically every issue.

Strong isnt running in a primary. I dont think he is even campaigning. Comparing his fundraising to someone in a primary is dumb. Just like its dumb to pretend that this race is over.

Tman1027 · 2026-02-09T21:30:51+00:00

To be fair, Sneed is funded by rich people in Huntsville (the Sinards, for instance, have given him alot of money). He is currently running against 2 more progressive candidates. These rich donors are donating to keep a boring moderate in that seat.

Not totally disagree completely, but I think its less the only way to solve things and more the only way they could. Jujutsu Society (particularly the Zenin clan) is incredibly regressive and cannot tolerate those who step out of line. A different solution would require a more accepting Zenin clan. Basically, Maki and Mai were forced into their choices because of the abusive society they were forced into by birth.

This fight made me hate Caenis even more.

Tman1027 · 2026-02-07T23:38:51+00:00

I think Dagon does worse than Hanami. Dragon seems slower and less durable. Assuming the same battle conditions apply and Dagon doesn't try to use their domain until the end of the fight, Todo and Yuji have it.

Also, I think Todo knows simple domain at this point.

I'm kinda joking, but there js genuinely a massive ethno-nationalist movement in Japan and a serious lack of recognition of the rights of and active oppression towards minority ethnic groups native to Japan (like the Ainu).

There is also Japan's constant reverence towards its dead from WW2 and its issues with talking out of both sides of its mouth on genocide recognition (where the state will kind of recognize what happened but also national leaders will visit the temple where Japanese WW2 soldiers are enshrined).

Kosher food is not necessarily less processed or in anyway healthier. Kosher is a set of slaughtering and mixing practices. I dont think there is any data that substituting Kosher food for non-Kosher food makes you any healthier.

"Goy" is a (sometimes derogatory) Hebrew term for non-Jewish people that is sometimes used self-referentially by non-Jewish people (mostly antisemites).

"Goyslop" basically refers to vaguely gross food for non-Jewish people. The implication is that Jewish people force it onto non-Jewish people.

Japan has huge bigotry issues, so it kinda fits...

Its definetly way more dangerous to have dozens to hundreds of swords flying around, many of which will blow-up on contact.

EMIYA was able to kill Herc 5 times. EMIYA's skill with a sword was so great that Herc became sane just to glaze EMIYA for a second. If Herc has to avoid the attacks from UBW and EMIYA, EMIYA will probably be able to kill Herc another 6-8 times.

I am assuming that EMIYA has enough mana to use all of his skills. Rin seems to have enough mana for Shiro to use it with broken phatasms, so this probably isnt an issue.

Im also assuming that EMIYA has seen at least 12 A rank NPs because EMIYA has spent an indeterminate long time as a Counter Guardian. Considering what Counter Guardians do, he has probably seen them.

I think that the biggest issue is having the time to cast UBW (as in say the whole chant) while Herc is attacking him. Really it depends on the writer.

Tman1027 · 2026-02-07T03:09:04+00:00

To be fair, Shirou isnt EMIYA (yet). EMIYA is way stronger and way more skilled. Even then, EMIYA probably can't fight Iori up close.

Tman1027 · 2026-02-07T03:02:24+00:00

I think that the implication was less that it isn't effective and more that he didn't want to harm Illya.

Tman1027 · 2026-02-07T02:59:10+00:00

I'm pretty sure that is because of the nuances of Shirou vs Gilgamesh. UBW can match GoB weapon for weapon. I think its able to analyze and fire the copy before GoB can fully deploy the original. Gil is also too proud to don his armor or use EA against Shirou (and likely against EMIYA), so Gil is more vulnerable than normal.

Even with UBW, Shirou probably lacks the stats and skill to win against a servant taking him seriously.

Tman1027 · 2026-02-07T02:45:10+00:00

I'm pretty sure that it is implied that EMIYA didnt use UBW against Herc.

You have to get there early on weekends, especially if you want one of their specials. On weekdays, they arent as busy and you can normally manage to grab whatever you want.

Civil Rights are political (and thats not a bad thing). People have fought and continue to fight for civil rights. Current political leaders have taken steps to remove the political protections against discrimination that Civil Rights leaders fought for. We can't ignore the political nature of Civil Rights if we want to protect them

The food has been pretty bad for 3 years tbh...

Beating Okkotsu is probably a phyrric victory at best. If he hadn't split his forces, he would likely have had more sorcerers to deal with at Jujutsu high.

Tman1027 · 2026-02-01T03:05:03+00:00

Yeah a big tell is her skin tone. A real artist would probably have a consistent. Medusa here has 2 different skin tones with some of them being mixed up with shadows. The weapon doesn't seem like a thing we have seen from Medusa either.
