Oh politicians can be and are held accountable all the time. It's conservative politicians who seem to get off scot-free

Yeah that definitely sounds exhausting. I've had a few chances to work with some absolutely exceptional people who I could trust would do their job to the best of their ability, and then some… well, less than exceptional people who really needed constant hand-holding up to the point of me having to read error messages for them ("what does the error message say? Oh you didn't read it? Well, do the thing again so you get a new one. Ok so it says that the foo failed to flerb: have you tried checking the foo? No? Well, maybe try that and see where it gets you"), and I definitely know which one I preferred.

No idea honestly, I just found this lying around on the internet

(also, I fucking hate it when people censor the naughty evil words just by covering one letter. Everybody knows what that word is you numpties, either cover the whole thing or don't do it)

Zardoz! It's a real trip and a half, the most 70's movie you'll ever see

Ha, I figured somebody has to recognize that. A super campy and really fuckin weird movie, and not what I'd call good exactly, but I like it. Remove all the weird shit and the core is a pretty classic tale of how rich people exploit the poor.

So is Orbán, and what is probably a majority of conservatives at least if they're being honest (which doesn't happen too often)

Hmm, can you really make any deductions from that data?

Does the number of people using the full phrase for either party correlate well with the number who don't? Is the correlation for eg people who use "democratic party" vs "democrats" and "republican party" vs "Republicans" even the same (edit: I know you wouldn't have the numbers, just thinking out loud here)

Some conservatives may occasionaly seem like they have a spine, but the moment it's measured the wavefunction collapses and the spine disappears.

Do those counts include eg. somebody saying "Democrats" instead of "Democratic party"?

I have a diagnosis of ADHD and autism.

Do you think that in my personality there's a neat little section labeled "ADHD", then one section labeled "autism", and then one labeled "me", and that I can just separate both of those from "me"?
