I'm pretty much the same as spoon, but I do need some mixed environments and social stimulus to maintain sanity, and as much as I like to stay at home and mess about on my computer, I do need a...

Some humans are innately egalitarian, and other humans are innately authoritarian.

Ignoring either group is not going to work in the long run.

There will always be charismatic people who excel...

I don't intervene in other mod's activities or decisions.

You're free to do whatever you like, here, and I'll adapt. I wouldn't even be a mod if not for you. Do what ya like.

He wasn't talking shit, though. He told a story, and chose which facts to relay directly in relation to the story and which to relay tangentially to the story. He didn't leave any facts out, like...

I gotta agree with ong on this one.
It was obvious in the first post what he meant.

That's twice in recent memory you're toeing the line a bit more - assertively? - than your norm.
You're off...

Moving this discussion over here, as it doesn't belong in the MEGA thread.

This is a perspective that I want to embrace and really let it be my center as a starting point to examine all political...

No one said anything about anyone's right to speak out on anything.

All I said was that no one has the right to my time when expressing their opinions.


FYI, one of my ex's got an abortion of...

OK. I didn't word that well. My bad.


More likely that is exactly what I'm seeking.


Even a broken clock, eh?
Planned Parenthood has moved far from those racist beginnings, IMO.
FYI, my...

I mean... I want to clarify that I'm not interested in understanding the bonehead Right perspective (nor the bonehead Left perspective).
I'm not asking you to catalogue the state of political...

Goddamn you can turn a phrase.

The abortion debate in the US has been stagnant for over 100 years. The lines haven't changed. The arguments haven't changed. The realities haven't changed. ...

... but didn't the entirety of the Russian involvement boil down to some Facebook pages and other social media tomfoolery? Like... that was the extent of it, right?

So it was really nothing like...

Sorry if I made it seem like I was trying to debate anything. I'm not interested in debate.
I'm interested in growing as a person and understanding what people who passionately disagree with me are...

Not really going to answer what is not really a question, I suppose.

I wonder what centrifugal force corrections you need when the spacetime is being frame dragged along with the rotation.

Thanks for the answers.

Didn't Ted Cruze vote against Trump in the 2nd impeachment? Or do I have that crossed in my head?


Re. the first part:
I'd have agreed with you that it could have...

Is the continued denial of the legitimacy of the 2020 election by some Republican leaders part of this, or related to the split?

What do they stand to gain by undermining the legitimacy of US...

Oof.

That's a shade beyond impolite, IMO. Reign it in a smidge.

What do you mean by the parties splitting?

Will the split come from politicians or from voters?

I mean, will the sitting politicians change / divide their teams? Or will the voters elect...

Then you'd have 141 2/3% chance of winning.

It's worth pointing out that there has been no time in American history when we weren't fiercely divided along a political divide that is so nearly a 50/50 split that it's not really statistically...

That cross stitch is goddamn epic.

Better late than never, IMO.
Uber's business model always struck me as scandalous. But that motivated me to not work for them. I don't see why these workers really have a claim that the company...

IDK. Investing in children sounds a lot like welfare to me.
If we give them free stuff just because they're children, then they'll never want to grow up and they'll remain children leeching off the...

Pandemic has me working from home most days.

I've barely left the house in about a year. I even get groceries delivered to my door to avoid going out to public spaces.
