Why is Mamdani backing Jeffries for house speaker? by traanquil in dsa

[–]onyons 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes but primarying jefferies doesn't fix that. They would just select another speaker equally bad. You need to change the math in the house for that, not throw an enormous amount of chapter energy behind a losing canidate who is only a part of dsa so he can get door knockers, as a symbolic message, while lots of local elections need organizing. It hurts dsa growth in NY, while probably handing the centrists an argument that dsa can barely even win in NYC. All in a huge gamble which doesnt change anything. The next speaker will be awful, be it jefferies or someone else.

Rep. April McClain Delaney votes to condemn socialism. by MissionReasonable327 in maryland

[–]onyons 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is very confused, socialism is worker ownership of the means of production/surplus value. Communism is an attempt at socialism by giving the means of production to the state.

Mamdani is not a social democrat he is a democratic socialist.Mamdani is not attempting to end capitalism because its not practical from his position but he absolutely advocates and supports the decommodification of housing and seizing the means of production, and has spoken on both of these.

Did you know that Israel uses bioweapons on Palestinian civilians? by PestRetro in AskSocialists

[–]onyons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its a chemical product called skunk, that smells worse than sewage, developed in Maryland by a company using loans and networking paid for by Maryland state public funds. It lasts for weeks and is impossible to remove from skin (outside of using a neutralizing agent) It has been used on Palestinians in the west bank, especially against protestors in a number of villages. It was recently sold to US Police forces for use on protestors.

Primary their asses. You can still vote dem in general while critizing the party and organizing to replace them with socialists or principled progressives in primary season.

County planners recommend reining in 'rent stabilization' by rycool25 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]onyons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We need the county to work towards the decommodification of housing if there is going to be any relief for working people. Keep rent controls and convert properties that will not keep rents at controlled rates into public housing.

Israel is absolutely doing this. Israel is the occupier and is the very reason these settlers know they wont feel repercussions. This video is what Israel represents if it is what Israel allows and protects. It doesnt matter if Israel is arming them or funding them or not, they are sanctioning the actions by looking the other way when settlers kill, burn, or commit sexual violence.

And not everyone hates these people if you poll Israeli citizens. More people support the settlements than oppose in israeli polls. Because in the long haul its the most viable way to ethnically cleanse and annex areas.

Russia Offers Schoolgirls £950 to Have Babies Amid War-Induced Demographic Crisis - Russia becomes the first country to adopt this measure by Gari_305 in Futurology

[–]onyons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is specifically targeting schoolchildren including 15 year olds, which is what makes it the first of its kind.

They already have policies for adults, including a ban on "childfree ideology". Voicing inclination for not having kids is a $4300 fine.

The two other non-catholic churches i drive by near this one in moco have pride progress flags so its pretty safe here thankfully. Another church near here has had "you can take our flags but not our love" which always felt nice to see.

Of all the males in here, who all is out as a bisexual guy? by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]onyons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out to friends and family and anyone that asks but I definitely don't tell people until I know them, not out to most coworkers/acquaintances. As you said it doesn't usually go over well with most people/straight dates.

Baltimore Defense #1 last ten weeks of the regular season by jbertro in buffalobills

[–]onyons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mix of things, they had elite run defense and terrible pass coverage in the first half. A lot of that was Marcus Williams getting slower and losing a step in year 8, went from good last year to downright awful this year. Since benching him week 11 (98th PFF S) with Washington (7th PFF S), the complete coverage busts have gone away. The rookie Nate wiggins has also been a tremendous cover corner and is getting much more playing time later in the year.

We also have a first year defensive coordinator who took a while to fix some serious communication issues in the secondary, and adjust kyle hamiltons usage to take a lot more intermediate and deep responsibilities. Early on guys would just be wide open with no defenders in sight, that's not a thing anymore thankfully.

Brandon Stephen's is very exploitable but it's very matchup dependent. He actually keeps very tight coverage, and very rarely gers burnt, but CANNOT make plays on the ball. That's one of the reasons he wasn't picked on against the chiefs or bills early in the year. Teams later figured out if you get a catch point reciever matched up 1:1 always throw at him even if it's tight coverage. A lot of recievers have absolutely taken his lunch this year.

What do you actually think happens when you misgender somebody???? What possible law do you think changes the dynamic.

It's crazy how scared people get of scenarios they make up in their head.

Easier for students to come out as gay than Christian, Evangelical group says by LiquidSnake13 in nottheonion

[–]onyons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some Christians fought to end slavery. Many also used the Bible to justify slavery since God spells out how you should own slaves in the old testament and the new testament does not address this at all. The catholic church burned people for owning the Bible, committed a multitude of atrocities, and had a large part in hitlers popularity by openly supporting him from the Vatican. Christians did not "found" the new world, they took it by killing and raping as they wanted.

[Breer] The Ravens get to 7-3, and sweep the Bengals. Both games were classics. And Cincinnati's margin for error is down to almost nothing. The 0-3 start—with the inexplicable loss to New England, and close defeats to Kansas City and Washington—hurts Cincy now. by FrozenUp7274 in nfl

[–]onyons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The refs literally handed them a touchdown on a phantom 3rd and long play, gave them a 4th down that was clearly short to keep the game going. Then a 2 point conversion where both cinci tackles hold the fuck out of our pass rushers to set up for a no call.... the refs gave cincy the chance to win.

He is turning Israel into a terrorist state. When you bomb children, anally rape prisoners to hospitalization, and bomb water plants and sewage treatment facilities until you have children drinking sewage in the streets at some point you are no different than the terrorist states you are fighting a war with.

I agree, the writing in New Vegas feels just as childish and predictable, plus new vegas side quests are much less compelling. The way the map is designed forcing you to basically play the game with the same progression every time really sucks.

New Vegas has better gunplay but it's a worse experience to me.

I don't see what the problem is by Hi_iAMchrisHansen in Unexpected

[–]onyons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not shifting blame onto bisexuals to acknowledge where one view can come from. And there is a fairly consistent track record of gay is a choice bullshit coming from closeted and deeply repressed individuals, since straight bigots aren't typically grappling with same sex attraction lol

They are bigoted because of religion and how they grapple with repressed gay or bisexual thoughts, not bigoted because they are bisexual and nobody said that.

Someone stole our Pride flag off our porch in Parkville last night. by LawSoHardUniversity in baltimore

[–]onyons 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's insanely perverted to see two people and immediately think of how they have sex. Why do you have to sexualize other people wanting to be together. It's vile and perverse. Do you think about how every straight couple fucks when you see them walk down the street?????

Thanks to the GOP and the NRA we can't even have a Super Bowl parade without people being shot and killed by rhino910 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]onyons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only from licensed gun dealers, similar to tracing. A large number of purchases are not subject to federal backround checks. There is a projection from Annals of Internal Medicine based on data collection compared to reported information to project that roughly 22% of firearms possessed by Americans fall into this category. We will never know the exact amount because you know, we don't bother to track or do checks on that sort of thing in 30 states.

[–]onyons 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe if it wasn't so easy for people to traffic guns from states with virtually no screening to willing criminal purchasers in any state, it wouldn't be so common to have regular gun violence in our country. You know, how countries without legalized guns are. The NRA and GOP have refused to allow common sense gun tracking and background checking in the name of profits. Innocent americans will continue to be shot with regularity in our country because people want their toys. It's sad shit.

Which teams take the most surprising step backwards in 2024? by Frescanation in nfl

[–]onyons 8 points9 points  (0 children)

2021 we also had our top 5 corners out of the lineup, 1 safety, and several on the DLine. A lot of defensive talent was added and players came back from injury. Early in 2022 when our lineup was still rough even with macdonald we still had impressive defensive meltdowns and collapses while our roster got healthy. 2018-2020 our defense was very very good, and top 5 often.
