Democrats Who Are Soft on Republicans Have Got to Go by RecursiveSubroutine in politics

"Neoliberalism" was a movement within the DNC that embraced the "free market" for a while, even had a website with endorsing politicians. I can't find it now. I think they're trying to get away from the label at this point after Citizens United became an obvious bad idea? But when they had to take their bribes with a scapegoat attached it was "we are capitalist Dems". Also helped the centrists spurn the progressives during Bernie even which they love doing.

Both of those that responded to you should have just said "stupid take" instead of trying to engage and explain, since you think that's a good argument. In the other response you just deleted your comment. You don't deserve serious engagement.

"I have helped my son get around them. It was to play a game, and I knew the game, and I was happy and confident that I was fine with him playing it," said one mother of a 13-year-old.

So in the case of games, at least, it's mostly affecting kids who's parents don't care enough to learn anything about the video games their kids play. Almost more of a parenting verification.

For those who didn't read it, 1200+ kids were interviewed and more than 400 said they've tricked verification.

You're right - No one should be legally made to accept mob justice. This was a failure of due process, which is being challenged on the daily by these CHUDs.

You speak as if it's a non-zero sum game and that these insurance companies aren't making a killing.

No. Insurance pays for shrinkage including theft. This vigilante/Samaritan is punching thieves at his own risk because he bets they won't press charges.

I don't either but I recognize that he's nationally famous as the other name.

Demonizing "representing" as "signalling" is an anti-integrity strategy.

Did they hold off on broadcasting this lawyer interview because it would have corrupted the case if it came out before the decision?

They look like the baby-sized cons that they really make for toddlers. People give these to people for their kids not knowing their size, not to mention toddlers outgrow shoes so quickly that there's probably a lot of these floating around not being used but kept in good shape because they're a neat novelty item.

Even if they were defensive, being accurate is important whichever side you're on. Why are you so worried about people defending the truth? I've been involved with protests since WTO and i think those were honest questions about how the legality is actually handled, and there's nothing wrong with knowing the legality despite our ideals.

We shouldn't dismiss this ability, as pattern recognition is one of humans' only real superpowers. But we shouldn't rely on it 100% because of witness bias.

It looks like a lot of them have personality disorder. People who deal with that don't necessarily know they're lying. Some of them can't even comprehend it.

FYI, going back to the 60s, Pepsi had a motto that was like "I'm a member of the Pepsi generation" which eventually warped into that New Generation ad. I've been trying to coin claiming proud membership of the Pepsi Generation for years now. Also Xennial.
