Ostrakon

This may be apocryphal but I recall that the reason his staff didn't intervene sooner was because he was prone to lashing out at anyone who disturbed him. So he might not have died so painfully if not for being such a colossal asshole.

Mf you didn't make a track, the AI did. Try again.

Isn't that irrelevant if the league isn't making money though? People watch the NBA. They don't watch the WNBA. The comparison you should be drawing for "enough" would be other niche sports nobody watches like bowling or whatever.

Don't vape in public, fucksake.

If you can't handle Target without getting faded you have to work through some shit.

...why did you censor John Lewis's face in the first pic?

Honestly it's an unreasonable expectation to expect all voters to be excellent judges of character, or even understanding enough about practicalities to identify the better of two bad options. Even if these people had access to better information, would they process it correctly? I can be somewhat understanding of folks who were tricked by these lies given the context that they live in.

New DK game this week looks sick though

I don't know if I agree with that statement but I guess it depends on what your definition of "smart" is. Someone can lack education but be pretty mentally sharp in some cognitive tasks regardless.

This is exactly the kind of rhetoric I'm talking about.

The simple reality is that on a national scale, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. It is simply pragmatic to take the path that allows us to help as many people as we can.

Jim Bob the convenience store clerk in a swing stare doesn't give a fuck. He can't feed his kids, and he lacks the fundamental understanding of reality to understand why that's the case. When he sees Dems courting the LGBT crowd, it is very easy to see why he sees this as evidence that they care more about special interest groups than his problems, which are also very real. So he goes to the side that is at least pretending to care about how he feels, even as they pick his pocket.

Do you want to win elections? Do you want to shift the window in the right direction? Or do you want to continue bitching about it, alienating the people you need to vote in your direction whether you like it or not? Regardless of your opinion, their votes matter and will be needed to ever get momentum rolling in the right direction.

You have unrealistic expectations. If you don't care what they think, how can you change their minds? We both know you're not going to arm yourself and overthrow the government. You have no leverage over these people. The only thing we can do is win them over, and your petulant angst in every venue in every corner of the internet decreases the chances of that ever happening.

Honestly I wish progressives were more self-aware and could learn to pick their battles. The constant push for ideological purity leads us to leave potential wins on the table as we waste precious social capital on infighting.

We need to focus on the economy, and class issues instead of constantly banging the drum on stuff that working class voters perceive as only affecting tiny minorities. I know we can do more than one thing at once, but when working class, undereducated white folks can't afford to put food on the table, what do you expect them to do?

If we keep losing elections we're not going to be able to do shit, and will continue sliding towards fascism. We need to drastically alter our messaging to reach these people before they become fully entrenched in right wing media death spirals. If we improve living conditions for the majority of folk, it'll be a lot easier to address stuff like trans rights.

I do like to wake and bake very occasionally (3-4 times a year) but I am generally an end of the day, adult responsibilities are done, time to veg out and go to bed kind of guy.

I was a total square, didn't try pot until they legalized it in my state in my late 30s. So I don't have a frame of reference for dealer weed, but all of my friends who did use cannabis all day that dispensaries are both way cheaper than what they were paying and the quality is better too.

Where I am it's not too hard to find a deal where I can get an ounce for $100. That will last me quite a while as I dry vape instead of smoking. A quarter gram in my volcano will send me to space.

Of course, I'd love to try growing my own, and I will most likely do so at some point. But the dispensaries in my area have all been wonderful, with none of the issues in this meme.
