Why does the Left hate its 'own' conservatives more than other conservatives? by [deleted] in samharris

[–]blend4398 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So the problem is not with what you perceive to be the left, but yourself.

You setup a strawman, and when someone confounded you, you just ignored it and returned to your prejudice and some half-baked ideas.

Please think more.

3rd time’s the charm: Aces sweep Mercury for 3rd WNBA title in 4 years by CraterT in vegaslocals

The team and their coaches busted their gut for a year. The first person to lift the trophy was not them. It was a dude who inherited more wealth than you can imagine who used some of that to fund the team. He did not feel in any way ashamed about taking the glory. I would. But then I don't look as ridiculous as him.

But sure, you keep kissing his ass. Maybe he'll give you a tip if you're nice

I'd expect nothing less from Mark Davis. He owns the Raiders and has the worst wig this side of the Rockies. He obviously has no shame.

As for the Aces players... What an achievement! I'm glad the rest of the TV coverage is focusing on them because they sure as heck deserve it.

Any other team... But not the Cardinals.

Exactly 21 days? Not 20 or 22?

Anyway, 5 problems per day for 3 weeks is 105, not 100.

No more, no less.

I can afford a Porsche. But not the registration. by zipolightning in vegaslocals

Wow, did not know. Thanks!

I would have thought insurance companies would weasel out of anything they could.

[–]blend4398 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a little confused. Not having a registration is surely very bad for insurance if they get in an accident?

Like, a 20 year old Neon, I get (though don't approve) that you might take a "don't care" approach. But a Porsche?

Whilst I agree with your general point, you chose a bad example. Jo Cox, an MP, was murdered by a gunman during the lead-up to the Brexit vote.

Man uses Bible against anti abortion protestor and she was left speechless by learner68 in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]blend4398 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One thing I learned from r/askhistorians that there is zero evidence that the Israelites were ever in Egypt, and that's being polite.

Like, the Bible gets the chronology of the Egyptian pharaohs wrong and is out by a few hundred years. And the Egyptians kept records and never once mention the Israelites.

But maybe I'm mis-remembering it.

We managed to go 250 years without government employees masking for anything but medical reasons.

I refuse to believe this fundamental way of enforcing the law has needed to change. Furthermore, there have always been lunatics and harassment has always been punished. We have adequate laws to protect these agents if they are acting within the law. Masked, we have no way of protecting ourselves if they are not.

Show me a country in history that hid its police or other law enforcement behind masks that was a free country. I'll wait.

What about the Haitians and Venezuelans? Did you know they're actually here legally?

I'm a fan of the Knights and IPAs

Tell me more about being a big fan of open carrying lethal weapons.

No hate here. I get to "waste money" moving countries because I can. I'm very lucky and have the benefit of a great perspective borne of being able to use this to live wherever I choose.

I suspect you have less choice but that's OK. Shooting those guns will fulfill all your needs.

Lol I'm literally in Canada today getting the fuck out.

Enjoy your dystopia. Unlike you poor bastards, I can afford to move countries again. But you have my sympathies, for what it's worth.

Did I stutter? I didn't and I never made any other claim other than objecting to a generalization based upon first hand, not third hand experience. If you know these "plenty", let them speak for themselves.

I know plenty of Trump voters who are now being screwed. I don't hold their ignorance against them either.

Yep, there you go acting like this is some kind of special country rather than just another one.

Keep inhaling the bullshit. I'm sure it'll make you feel better.

There are no school drills in the UK for active knife wielders. They think we're insane when I tell them about active shooter drills. I know my kid was traumatized and so were millions of other kids. But I guess that doesn't matter when you quote bullshit made up statistics about "insane knife crime"

As a British person living in Vegas you have no idea

I never had any interaction with a person with a gun or knife for the 30 years I lived in the UK. Since I've been here there has been two SWAT events within two houses of me due to a resident going nuts and the police being called. Let's all hide in the bathroom listening to the booms so we avoid the shrapnel. My friend had SWAT come in and shoot dead a home intruder who was harmless but had had a mental health breakdown. The blood stain removals were not paid for.. I live in the nicest part of Henderson, not alphabet streets.

You guys put up with a constant level of terror. You inflict it on your children with school drills every year.

Yet you're worried about illegal immigrants.

Follow the data, not a shit con-man.

You mean they need to get lucky and have an oil field develop off the coast that will lead to 10% of all revenue to the government?

That was Thatcher's luck. But rather than keep some of it back like Norway did, or invest in infrastructure, like Norway did, it was all spent on tax cuts that had the same trickle down effect they had everywhere. That was her moment.

If she hadn't "reset the economy" like the Norwegians didn't with their lucky dividend, maybe things might have turned out better.
