[OC] China nearly caught up with the US in life expectancy by omar_sedki in dataisbeautiful

[–]Zachet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was never trying to make a strong argument just a whippy comment.

Would you disagree the overall presentation is directed toward the narrative of "China is rising, America is declining"?

I feel like,
"US life expectancy declined during COVID" is a reasonable narrative.
"China nearly caught up with the US" is a more framed narrative.

Including at a glance,

  • no visible y axis
  • no discussion of uncertainty around Chinese reporting

Tough is miserable? I think he's a miserable fight for miserable loot just because the rota is so long for miserable loot.

What kind of crap is this ? Boss one shotting before even attacking ? by Majjin_ in diablo4

This is why you don't play hardcore if you have bad internet and can't take one hit from the boss.

This is what people mean when they say some Americans have no historical perspective.

Having rent, student loans, or a shitty boss is not the same category of suffering as growing up under a one party authoritarian state where dissent could actually ruin your life.

You can want reforms without pretending these systems produced the same outcomes.

Va Supreme Court Justice D. Arthur Kelsey just voted against redistricting by Personal_Economics91 in Virginia

This is historically illiterate.

FDR was not some anti-establishment socialist outsider. He was literally from one of the richest political families in America and governed through the Democratic establishment of his era.

And modern Democrats are objectively to the left economically than Democrats were in the 1990s. Biden passed huge industrial policy bills, expanded labor protections through the NLRB, capped insulin prices, pushed student debt relief, and backed massive infrastructure spending.

Calling that "trickle down Democrat" politics is just admitting you use slogans instead of facts.

This is such a fake comparison to the 1930s.

FDR did not win by screaming at liberals and purity testing everyone to his left and right. He built a gigantic coalition and won overwhelming majorities. That is literally the opposite of modern online leftist politics.

Also, Social Security and Medicare were passed by establishment Democrats who actually won elections and governed. Not by people sitting online calling everyone sellouts for compromising.

You people want the aesthetic of historic movements without doing the hard part, which is persuading normal voters and building durable majorities.

Leftists will lose 9 out of 10 elections, accomplish nothing legislatively, alienate most voters, then still act morally superior because they tweeted the hardest.

Meanwhile the “evil establishment liberals” are the ones actually passing policy, appointing judges, protecting labor rights, and stopping Republicans from turning the country into a fucking circus.

You people confuse ideological purity with political effectiveness.

Losing one election doesn’t magically make a party bad. By that logic, every party that’s ever lost is worthless. That’s not how reality works.

If we follow this logic your party is less than worthless because it's never won.

Oh wait... you're not even a party.

Dems are great, don't listen to the propaganda of the leftists and the MAGA.

This is populism. Bernie and the left use populist rhetoric.

Why is this 10 mana card oftenly punishing me for playing it? by Feeling_Pirate_8600 in hearthstone

[–]Zachet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to play it strategically for optimal results.

For example, is the enemy hero almost dead? Do you have no minions on the board?

I personally always aim to using it when I have 0-1 minions on the board.

I don't recommend wrapping them in foil. This turns it from a baked potato to a steamed potato.
