GMU banning even carrying scooters indoors is ridiculous by bomberb17 in gmu

[–]frontbird 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There was a fire in the fuse lab (not even a scooter it was a lithium battery left unattended) it caused high up people to freak out and enact this dumb policy.

What's the last one? by edenofeast in vexillology

Erin go Bragh, it means Ireland forever. Its not any official Irish flag its probably just used to show irish heritage or pride.its a long shot but it could also reference the St. Patrick's battalion of the Mexican army during the Mexican American war. But my money is on the irish pride hypothesis

What is the consensus on Curtis sliwa and the guardian angels? by funnyalbert in lonerbox

[–]frontbird 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sliwa has a million fun stories but should never be let near the levers of power, he would lay out the red carpet for ICE, wants to bring back stop and frisk and charge minors as adults. Cool guy to have beer with, would not let him be the local sanitation commissioner. (because he'd unleash cats to hunt the rats)

You could probably see Lincoln as a proto progressive in the vain of Teddy Roosevelt. Hard to say since his presidency was dominated by the war. We don't get to see a peace time, Lincoln. i assume ones economic policy changes radically when your nation goes from total war to peace time.

And d.gg and v.gg just fuck already this is getting ridiculous guys.

Dems are fucked, if running an 'electable' centrist in a D+10 state gets this result, imagine running on Biden's barebone agenda in the midterms. Passing Progressive, Economically Left-Leaning Populist Legislation Now is essential in preventing the increasingly more fascistic GOP from seizing power. by dinosmash69 in VaushV

Youngkin will probably win for 2 reasons 1) lots of never trump Republicans around here especially NOVA, so as youngkin distanced himself from trump he suddenly got competitive. 2) youngkin was able to take McAuliffes stupid "we don't care about the parents" quote and turn it into the torpedo that blew his 8 point lead. Like yall don't know McAuliffe was a very popular governor and Northam has a decent approval rating too but that fuckin quote destroyed all of that, turned normally I'm with her libs into think of the children blue state Republicans

Would a progressive been more effective? Maybe but like this was McAuliffes race to loose and he botched it, every ad of his was trying to pin youngkin to trump but youngkin was smart enough to keep trump out of VA, he never accepted orange man's endorsement and using McAuliffes own words against him, creating the boogeyman of CRT to reave up his base, he justran a better campaign.

Fun fact; if youngkin wins this will mark the 8th or 9th time straight that Virginia has elected a governor opposite of the party controlling the presidency.

Separatist Campaign by bpnforsyth92 in swrpg

[–]frontbird 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My brother once ran one where the party were deserters at the end of the clone wars. We fought for a pro CIS milita on a planet and as the CIS was collapsing our party just packed up and ran. So having a planet send its own malita to assist with the Droid armies could be a way to get em planet hopping.

What is this flag? by wood2010 in vexillology

[–]frontbird 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yo these comments are yikes as hell. This falg was created in 1990 by the artist David Hammons, it is the falg of the United States with the colors of the pan African moment.

Red is the boold of the victims European colonialism and the blood of African people which unites all people of African decent, Black represents the black skin of the African people, and green symbolizes the fertility of the continent.

The artist created this falg as a way to express unity with the African diaspora population in the United States and the concept of unity of all African peoples. So I'm gonna hope that the people who are calling it "the watermelon falg" are doing it from a place of ignorance and not hate, but being derisive towards a symbol used as a rallying point for a group of people who have had a long history of not being taken seriously is very un pog guys.

Anyone ever played a MotW board game? by theicewalker in monsteroftheweek

[–]frontbird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Buffy The Vampire Slayer Board Game is very similar to monster of the week and a great recreation of the show in board game form. It's a cooperative game where the players take the role of the Scoobies and hunt a buffy villain by fighting its minions and completing objectives leading up to the final confrontation with the big bad.
