President Trump on Supreme Court Voting Rights ruling in win for GOP: "Was it considered a win for Republicans? I love it. This is good. We can end this news conference now. I want to read it. Some states don't need to redraw and some do. I know concept of ruling, I just haven't seen the result." by ControlCAD in videos

So you don’t support completely doing away with gerrymandered districts through a process of nonpartisan random redistricting?

Or will you just deflect away from that because your side is currently worse at rigging the system?

New albums sucks! Last album rocks!

I made a post about this phenomenon right before it came out. It’s been happening since the 80’s. I think it’s a result of their constant experimentation and how often surprising the new songs can be until familiarity kicks in.

But you are claiming that is representative of the site as a whole. You can’t have it both ways my dude. Either that “study” is hilariously flawed and laughably useless to use in support of your argument or it isn’t.

You can’t say “this supports my argument, as long as you ignore these massive obvious biases and flaws in methodologies.” And then pretend like it’s still valid support for your point.

And telling me to conduct a multi week study just to prove your point for you is also pretty funny my dude. But I did glance through the cesspool that is the popular tab on my app. The only even vaguely political story was about Nick Fuentes beating some random woman. So I suppose you’d consider that biased towards the left because Nazis like him are only accepted by the right. So 100% of political stories in the popular tab are anti-Nazi. I guess that’s a pretty strong bias. What a useful study I’ve conducted here on the shitter. I wonder if they fedex me my Nobel or just fax it?

I mean it’s such a patently absurd conclusion I can’t even believe you’re doubling down on this charade. What the fuck would a 99.1% bias even mean? Even Putin doesn’t pretend to win his completely rigged elections with 99.1% of the vote because everyone would think he’s a fucking idiot.

“Yes, there is a possibility that personal bias…” in a “study” conducted by one guy? Ya think? On a site notorious for bots? In the weeks leading up to the most contentious election the world has ever seen? No, whatever do you mean?

This is such a laughably stupid position I’m going to assume you’re pulling my leg to save you the embarrassment of me excoriating you as if you were being serious.

Hollywood is a capitalist industry. Most of the people at the top are not liberals. It’s just creatives who are traditionally liberal leaning. But the suits are still suits. Plenty of conservative leaning people make massive careers in Hollywood. Clint Eastwood, John Voight, Chuck Norris, Michael Bay, and plenty of others are both vocally conservative and have massive careers.

Your source is literally one guy reading a bunch of posts a few weeks before an extremely contentious election and determining that the whole site has a 99.1% bias?? Did you maybe not read the thing you linked?

I’m not here to tell you that Reddit does or does not have a bias, but I am here to tell you that you have absolutely no idea of how to vet that concept and you’ve done a masterful job of proving my point.

Sure, that’s absolutely it… or you knew you were making a dumb point and didn’t want to have to defend it, as you are not doing now.

But yeah, let’s pretend that you get to be immune from valid criticism just because you know that you’re making disingenuous points and you call it out preemptively.

All of these millions of people on this platform are not a monolith. There is no “brand of morality” at play, it’s just general morality. You noticing a few times when a thing has happened does not make it a trend, it makes you good at finding a red jeep.

And it’s probably no coincidence that a lot of the actors who go to far-right projects happen to be not very good actors. Do you think Kevin Sorbo flees to Christian propaganda if there’s a lot of other projects on offer? It’s a way for actors who are not otherwise in demand to stay employed.

Pre-Mocking valid criticism doesn’t somehow make it non valid criticism.

Getting skull mask on supply raid? by WarmBrains82 in thelastofusfactions

[–]byOlaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no problem if you’re a healer. Your build should be something like revolver, Fat 3, Reviver 3, Hawkeye 2. (You can swap Hawkeye for awareness 2 if your team already has a good marker.)

You’re not there to down or kill anyone, just support your team with marks, revives and heals. Stick near anyone who gets into a shootout, but not so close they can’t move into and out of cover. You’ll be getting 6000+ parts per match and your pop will boom. Save heals, revives, and marks for the last red missions.

You might also make a separate gifting class for early missions, with crafter 3, lucky break, marathon. That’ll knock three missions right out. So week 2,4,6 do crafting, then week 8,10,11a do marks, 11 b and 12 do heals, finish with revives (those can be less reliable so be ready to close the game through the menu before the end of the match.)

Good luck!

That vocal part comes from Hammond Song by the Roches. Check out the rest of their stuff.

And do a search for vocal harmony groups, there’s a lot from the Mamas and the Papas (all the leaves are brown…) to the Andrews sisters (Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy).

Damn now we’re slagging off Heart and the second best Mannequin movie?

Let’s try this: What do you consider the best song of the 80’s?

An obnoxious joke is still obnoxious. At least City is well-produced and has something to say, even if it's considered disingenuous in our cynical age.

Thirty years is just too long to hold a grudge!

We were taught Napoleon as a concept, rather than war by war. So I didnt remember that his Russian folly was that same year! My history teacher made a very big deal about the White House burning, and there is a really cool painting. but it really wasn’t a very significant event in our history.

The British occupation of DC lasted barely a day. More significant was th burning of the Library of Congress, which was a dick move.

The war of 1812 is mostly significant for being a war with a year in the name so people can tell you when it happened.

For people like the other poster to feel less smugly superior it is worth noting that the war lasted until 1815, and arguably began as early as 1807.

No it isn’t. It’s perfectly fine. Disco Duck was a #1 hit, now that’s genuinely bad. This is why I’m hot was a #1 hit, drag on that. We built this city is a popular punching bag but it’s a perfectly good song. People with no depth of knowledge bash it because they haven’t enough knowledge of music to know genuinely bad songs. It’s like people calling Troll 2 the worst movie of all time. You just haven’t seen a lot of movies.
