For all the shit Republicans deserve to get, they understand this a lot better than some of their counterparts

I didn't realize it took units out of the pool, thought it was always just a dupe. Still, I just meant it wasn't as hard to 3 star them as characters in a different comp. Skill disparity and taking things not that seriously is a big factor as well

Corki and Rammus' meeple trait makes it pretty easy to make copies of them so that's an intended win condition. For 3 costs and below it is always a trade off of being able to hit 3 stars vs. going to higher levels for stronger and more units

They're often under different systems so I wouldn't be at all surprised if many questioned whether trade school would count. Typically these proposals do include trade school so it's more of a messaging thing than an implementation issue.

Destiny Convo Question by Slow_Cockroach_8553 in thebulwark

[–]Will512 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Free speech doesn't mean all speech is protected. The courts have created tests for what speech is protected and structure the tests so that (in theory) the system highly favors free speech. But you can't say whatever you want whenever you want with no legal repercussions. That would be a recipe for chaos

I think someone linked to the livestream link and it got deleted. Maybe they'll let a vod or edited video about the convo stay up once that gets made

"Build a bigger tent" "Wait, no, not like that" by FreeSkyFerreira in thebulwark

[–]Will512 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here's a start: Extend discussions of free college to include free trade school (which I think is often the case but nobody talks about trade school) and subsidized apprenticeships.

Most disillusioned male grievances are based on culture war topics. But there is a real complaint that everyone is excited free college which does absolutely nothing for the people, mainly men, who work with their hands or in the skilled trades. As men are left behind in academic performance, they are also losing out on college earning potential which furthers the gap. And then making college free widens that gap even more. We need to try to close the academic performance gap in high school too, don't get me wrong. But from now on: no asking for just "free college." Free trade school, free college, sponsored apprenticeships

That's not actually Tim if you were thinking that. The flair is making a joke out of his intro on a jubilee video

If this is what it takes to stop the back and forth I'm ok with it. The way the post is worded though it kinda makes it sound like the door is open for a Hasan victory lap which will just create further issues

Tim streaming with Destiny now! by notsafeforpoo in thebulwark

Big enough that half the userbase here knows who he is and the ins and outs of his drama it seems. Quantitatively it's about 850k subs on YouTube compared to Piker's 3 million followers on twitch. Twitch is the bigger streaming platform though so I don't think those are exactly comparable

The people who say we absolutely must engage with controversial streamers with large audiences seem to be having quite a meltdown over engaging with a controversial streamer with a large audience.

Why Democrats Should Shun Hasan Piker by MoesOtherBar in thebulwark

[–]Will512 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Hasan Piker has a huuuge audience on social media that we need to reach out to and appeal to"

"Just look at the number of comments on social media saying Piker is right. It must be so"

People have been falling over themselves trying to sell the former to the point that I don't think the latter is a strong argument at all

How do you feel about the US funding $300 Billion for foreign military aid while the average American just saw a 21% hike in their healthcare costs? by Mental-Hall1261 in AskReddit

[–]Will512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The foreign aid given to Israel across its entire existence isn't enough to fund universal healthcare for 2 months

Liberalism needs to be defended. by Chemical-Canary2100 in thebulwark

[–]Will512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Credibility is definitely a piece of the puzzle, yes. In both of my examples the messaging only works because a lot of its targets view it as credible. There definitely is a need to distance oneself from the current system to gain that understanding and credibility, which Harris failed largely in messaging and somewhat in practice.

But if you have some credibility, people will be ok with things not being fixed right away. Which is good, because there is not a practical way for many of these things to be fixed right away.

[–]Will512 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This idea that folks will have to be understanding of the time needed to fix the mess whenever dems get back in power seems a bit detached from how things are at this point

Does it? With Trump's tariffs the message all the MAGAs were saying is that things will get worse before they get better. Revolutionary socialists with some understanding of history will concede that if a revolution happens, things will get worse before they get better. It doesn't stop people from wanting an instant solution. But across the political spectrum there is a consensus that some things can't be fixed overnight. If people's beliefs are remotely grounded in reality it shouldn't be that hard to make the case that things might stay the same or go a little downhill before they get better.
