Orange Devil posted:What resources, which are not currently mobilized, would you like to see mobilized to counter terrorism, and how exactly would you like to see them utilized? I have no idea. It's just funny that the other side of that coin was firebombing German cities, so it isn't a very good example of a calm and collected measured response.

Kaal posted:Texas would take a generation, but eventually it would be utterly fatal to the Republican Party. Places like Michigan, Pennsylvania, or New Hampshire are much easier targets, and there is already plenty of coastal movement in and out of those states. I should probably stop pumping the idea any further, but right now the biggest issue for liberals isn't convincing more people to vote, it's contesting gerrymandering and special representation directly. There were 2,868,691 more votes for Clinton than for Trump, but the election came down to where 83,940 of them lived. You wouldn't think Michigan would be big on Republicans because they're currently dog loving the poo poo out of everyone there, but then we did have a decade of Granholm before who inherited the growing shitstorm of fail from Engler and had to fight a Republican government, so everyone's minds are probably thinking "That fuckup dem slut"

Funny thing is my father is a civil engineer for AECOM that worked Hartsfeild for the last 13 years and just lost the rebid part because senior engineers have too high of salaries. You know where the company sends him so his current salary was in line with the local market? San Fransico International. Don't worry West coast. He's already a liberal. gohmak fucked around with this message at 14:40 on Jun 4, 2017 |

Acid Haze posted:Does it mean anything in the legal sense now that Trump called the Muslim ban a "ban." Though not specifically a "Muslim ban," just a, "ban." Also, "we need the courts to give us back our rights," I assume that means the right to ban Muslims.

I don't know what it is. Ocean or a bad sewage system, but when I was in Seattle I was struck by how bad the city smelled. That was mainly downtown though.

Night10194 posted:Man, I've only visited Atlanta once, for a conference in 2015, and I could tell the city was pretty cool. I had a lot of friends go to Georgia Tech from Northeast liberal bastions and they all uniformly hated it. Two are 30 years old and living with their parents just to stay in expensive blue cities. Personally, I thought it was bad because of the weather and its public transportation is cancer. The downtown area had a depressing 70s architecture feel and when I was shown the "nice part" by locals it was a boulevard with no sidewalks and mostly upscale astroturfed restaurants and high end stores. That, and suburbs, acres and acres of suburbs. Personally, small-town wise I have enjoyed my time in Pittsburg, hell Philly isn't too bad either. A lot of charming small towns in the mountain west too. Butte, Flagstaff, etc. At least there if you have a car commute times are very short. Austin was nice too, but trash public transportation. Heard good things about San Antonio too. But Atlanta is everything wrong with Sun Belt urban planning (like Houston or Dallas).

Groovelord Neato posted:lol at atlanta turning into armageddon from half an inch of snow. I'm from Alaska and I lived in Atlanta during both major snows. That half an inch of snow turned into almost an inch of ice the instant it hit the road. This is around noon, in a city with almost no flat roads, no equipment (because it had never been needed before), and where no cars (or car shops) carried chains or studs. The hills made it literally impossible to drive and extremely dangerous to even walk. It was by far the worst road conditions I've ever seen, and the only thing that could have prevented it would have been heavy pre-snow salting (and gently caress salt) and/or if everyone had chains, both of which are now available. Atlanta's a great city - it's on my short list for the next time we're looking for positions. E: You definitely need to know the right areas to be at night, but that's every city. Public transportation and walk ability needs major upgrades, but the bike paths that have been built and slowly connected are very nice.
