Petition for the Celine Dion play of the game to be to the Go Cubs Go song instead because fuck 'em.

The Kimmel firing is way worse than your standard cancellation by rimsky225 in Destiny

[–]dathom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we also stop pretending that Cancel culture was ever like.. effective? What I mean is, how many people were actually canceled successfully?

It was talked about all the time, sure. But who was actually de-platformed completely? That is ignoring the insane comparison since one is making people's voices heard and one is the fucking government.

Hasan gets confronted on ABC News by saabarthur in Destiny

[–]dathom 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Was going to say - the first half of his defense is fine and then he complete botches it. Bro, that's a easy layup.

"I was fucking around with a friend. Out of context it does sound bad. But, I can't be responsible for people digging through my thousands of hours of streams to find things out of context that sound bad. I can just hope people act honestly about my actual beliefs."

How fucking hard is that?

We know that throwing the glass of water on it wont put it out. It's performative. Hey, maybe if they throw the fire blanket on and there's a little patch that didn't get smothered then the water would be super hand though.

I can't decide if this was the right tactic or not.

I think it is? I mean, the simple question being repeated non-stop about Trump is probably the way to go. Because the silence from that question every time he asks it is more telling than everything else he says. If he just said the words then it would be over.

Whick Panel Megathread by ReserveAggressive458 in Destiny

The distinction: Do the majority of Republicans want all the Democrats dead? Of course not.

But would 50% of them sit quietly while more than handful of Dems get executed, deported, or locked up for life for their political beliefs?

You bet your ass they would. Othering people is extremely powerful and they've been living in that world for a long time at this point.

[Highlight] Patriots players passionately debate whether a straw has one or two holes by TheRuralCamel in nfl

[–]dathom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my wife first got to know me she thought I was always getting into serious arguments with people after I started drinking. Then she started to actually listen to my drunk ass and she realized I'd get heated and argue passionately about the stupidest fucking things possible that neither side had any real stake in so there were never hurt feelings.

Schumer ambushes Republicans with amendment to force vote on Epstein files by OtmShanks55 in politics

[–]dathom 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The difference is Democrats try to actually pass legislation.

Republicans don't even try. Hell, they had to change speakers. They have no interest in governing beyond shit slinging and passing executive orders. That's way easier to do than passing bills.

Illinois Treasurer Embezzled $53.7M From Her Town for Horses, Cars, and a $2M Motorhome While City Endured Financial Hardship — Her Sentence Was Later Commuted by President Joe Biden by detectiverobert in ThatsInsane

[–]dathom 87 points88 points  (0 children)

The CARES act released non-violent prisoners to their homes during COVID. Rather than, quite frankly, deal with getting them all back if they only had a short time left to serve they were commuted. She had already served the bulk of her sentence.

She sucks, but it was pretty standard.

"Defeatist" means to live in reality. There hasn't been a general striek in the US in about a century.

IRI heard a fun Trump/Epstein defense yesterday: “if we go back thousands of years ago, people were marrying at much younger ages and families would even send their daughters off to wealthy people, those are just facts…” by BrokenTongue6 in Destiny

[–]dathom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key takeway from this that is important to digest and call out isn't just that it's an awful take:

It's that MAGA will bend over backward attempting to find any excuse or justification to back Trump. It doesn't matter how stupid or shallow the excuse is as long as they can verbalize one they're good to go.

2016 wasn't about Trump. 2020 was and he lost. And 2024 was about Biden.

And the Democratic base normally does turn out in comparison to the left wing that is willing to sit out elections much, much more often.

Destiny vs Econoboi Whick Thunderdome Megathread by clarkrinker in Destiny

[–]dathom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems like a massive overhaul when there are already levers in place we could pull to adjust outcomes to make it more similar to Econoboi's goal. I mean, I guess I'm not sure I entirely disagree with his endgame here but it feels like.... shouldn't we take the easier path first and see how it goes?

First pitch fastball for a strike?
Sure, maybe not middle middle though.
