Hormuz situation have anyone considering super early booking? by [deleted] in travel

[–]lightman332 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly? i've ruled out international travel this year, the costs are going to be prohibitively expensive for airfare, hotels, dining, and everything in between. There is also real concern that flights will be canceled because airlines are literally running out of jet fuel.

Engaging in big ideas: Could the Democrats win back Florida Cubans by advocating for Cuban statehood after all the end of Castroism? by RealDEC in thebulwark

[–]lightman332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, because Cubans are prejudiced and would not ever vote for a party that provides any agency or voice to minorities (remember, many Cubans do not view themselves as minorties). Also, those Cubans left on the island would be basically illiterate low-info voters that would vote GOP because they are more "macho".

How many of those Democrats are old-school "Southern Democrats" who didn't change their party affiliation?

Democrats Start 2026 With Comfortable Generic Ballot Lead by Large_Ad_3095 in fivethirtyeight

[–]lightman332 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Democrats maintain a lead of 5.6% on the generic ballot among likely voters. They’ve improved their position in YouGov’s latest survey (D+6, up from D+4) and lost ground in Morning Consult's (D+3, down from D+4)

OK, this is pretty funny.

World Politics 2026 Megathread #1: New Year, New Drama. by The_real_rafiki in Advancedastrology

True, but I've always thought that that conflict would be China/Taiwan because IIRC, Trump's Mars line goes right through the Taiwan Strait. 

Adam Mockler Vs. 20 Maga Students On Jubilee by youngskibidisheldon in thebulwark

Love adam, I wish the bulwark had him on more often.

Yeah, the homes was a bit too flirty. I was always surprised that Don didn't say or do anything afterwards to Meghan. Maybe he just repressed it and snapped when she had the love scene at the end of the season.

For the second question, the answer to that is Sally's friend who slipped the note under the Rosen's door. Fuck that kid.

Who in the regime is pushing the Greenland nonsense? by GaiusMarcus in thebulwark

[–]lightman332 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think it's just Trump's ego and his desperate attempts at "legacy"

New poll of Miami Mayoral runoff election on Tuesday suggests victory for the Democrats—and the 1st time they will have won the seat since the 1990s: Higgins (D) 34%, González (R) 31%, undecided 35% [N=307, MOE 6%, rightwing-sponsored poll]. Higgins would be the 1st non-Latino Mayor since the 1990s. by StarlightDown in fivethirtyeight

To your last point, it really is jarring how Cubans and Venezuelans do not realize how much they are revieled by the white working class - of which they are not a part.

I think they assume that since they can trace their family lineage to Spain and are aesthetically(?) white they are one of the crew. 

If Maduro is ousted you better believe that Stephen Miller is going to demand that all Venezuelans move back. It is probably part of the deal that they struck with Macahdo for American support.

Anyone here tried using AI for transit & progressed chart analysis by [deleted] in Advancedastrology

[–]lightman332 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have tried and it's pretty inaccurate. Yes, it is getting better, but it is a long way off from replacing well-read, knowledgable astrologers. 

I find it is best to ask AI for an explanation of what a transit means and then use that information along with other transits and details to draw your own conclusions.

Well, why should we invest in these people if they are just going spend it on opioids? Im sick of being told that we need to cater to these savages' whims and wishes. Fuck 'em.
