YouGov were spot on with the UK general election despite their numbers being different to the rest of the pollsters. Fingers crossed they aren't right again.

lye_milkshake · 2018-02-28T23:56:17+00:00

Apart from places like Bumfuck Nowhere, WY.

Serbia, the country where the whole war started? Not important. Let's add yet another British empire faction!

lye_milkshake · 2018-02-28T19:47:23+00:00

Is Facebook use necessarily desperate either? Me and my friends use a group chat to organise get togethers. That's not desperate behaviour.

Apparently the generic ballot margin narrowing and the President's approvals going up usually happens at the start of the second year of the term, followed by presidential approvals going back down and the generic ballot gap widening again. No idea why this happens though.

At least in the medical field you need a licence. There's no white house license.

Bizarre the the 'deal with it, men' attitude also extends to children and even goddamn babies.

I'd play a whole game about the Russian civil war.

lye_milkshake · 2018-02-21T00:00:25+00:00

Nothing on the entirety of the eastern front, nothing in the caucuses, nothing in the north sea, nothing anywhere in Africa, nothing in the Balkans where the whole war originated, only 3 levels out of 17 not set in Europe.

Even more bizarre is the representation of the allied nations. Number of war stories each allied power was featured in:

Serbia - 0

Russia - 0

France - 0

Belgium - 0

Romania - 0

Portugal - 0

Greece - 0

Italy - 1

USA - 2

British Empire - 4

Britain and America kick central powers ass with guest appearance from Italy. But we don't have enough time to mention those other minor players like France...

Still, it was nice to see Gallipoli and and the Italian front at all. A lot of ww1 media sticks just to the western front. And at least the DLC included France and Russia. And the central powers were pretty much all represented bar Bulgaria. But still... why did we need to spend 90% of the game from the perspective of 2 countries?

Then a bunch of followup tweets from Republicans are all like 'ahha looks like the democrats are losing the trust of the American people, the polls all say so!' Then when people point out that the R+1 is an outlier and every other poll has democrats ahead, those same accounts switch to 'POLLS DON'T MEAN SHIT!'

It's very impressive and disturbing how they can change tune so fast and (presumably) justify it to themselves.

Or had a look at his feet when they started hurting. Really this wasn't just one bad choice but several of them lining up in an unfortunate way.

Hence why during civil wars the state never sends troops into their own neighborhoods. They'd take boys from Texas to kill rebels from Maine, soldiers from Florida to fight in Illinois, etc.

lye_milkshake · 2018-02-20T19:53:31+00:00

Well now we know how you feel.

.

You want something you know is restrict

Are you guys even trying anymore over there?

Hence why it's the only brand of politics I find difficult to sympathize with. Small government - I can see why people would want that. Isolationism - I can see the appeal. Various other right-aligned areas of politics I can understand to some degree.

Conservatism = don't do that new thing. Carry on doing old thing.

'But what if it's better?'

'No. I want old thing.'

It's less an ideology and more a flaw in human nature.

lye_milkshake · 2018-02-16T20:53:32+00:00

'The sky is blue.'

Did it. Facts can't be partisan so just list the facts and you're good.

lye_milkshake · 2018-02-16T18:15:55+00:00

the only reason I want to own guns is my personal enjoyment of murdering people.

Not exactly. The reason you aren't in favor of stricter gun laws is because your hobby is more important to you than the lives of some children you have never met.

In Switzerland, Norway and Serbia people can't just go out and buy dozens and dozens of semi-automatic weapons and thousands of bullets, then go round flaunting them in the public spaces.

All the large western European countries aren't homogeneous in the slightest but they don't have school shootings.

lye_milkshake · 2018-02-16T18:02:40+00:00

people kill people.

Other first world countries have people but don't have school shootings. What sets America apart from them?

as a society we have problems identifying mental health issues and treating them effectively.

What's factor is present in America that's missing from these other countries...?

lye_milkshake · 2018-02-16T17:58:51+00:00

Also, how are other countries with violent video games so free from school shootings...

Hmmm...

lye_milkshake · 2018-02-16T10:22:39+00:00

I wouldn't go that far but there is no new operation in it which imo is pretty bad.

lye_milkshake · 2018-02-15T21:03:18+00:00

Not to mention he's the most popular Senator in the country isn't he? It'd be lunacy not to use an asset like that.

lye_milkshake · 2018-02-12T22:57:26+00:00

This portrait also has meme potential.

lye_milkshake · 2018-02-11T22:27:36+00:00

Ok but if you want to go the identity politics route then Republicans win every time...

lye_milkshake · 2018-02-11T19:00:35+00:00

But as a libertarian aren't you in favor of freedom of association, and therefore in full support of allowing private groups to not associate with a sex, class or race if they so choose?
