D.N. Nation posted:Why it's almost as if conservatives outraged over Weinstein were full of poo poo 100% of conservative outage is nothing more than "Democrats did a thing and Democrats are evil". That's how they see the world. I once had a Christian conservative friend back in college that I would have religious discussions with back when I was still a believer. Once we were talking about "the problem of evil" and the way he explained how he solves it is "God is good, anything God does is good even if we think it is evil. Something is only evil when you act against God's will like the Devil." That's how the conservatives feel about politics except replace God with GOP and Devil with DNC.

I'm actually fine with the lunar colonies refusing to sign the Paris Agreement. The pollution they emit is their own problem, not ours.

There's one like that with him hanging off the biceps of Wilt Chamberlin and Andre the Giant from the set of Conan the Destroyer. No shame in being shorter than those two, them cats were monsters.

I’m looking for a comic that I’m pretty sure I saw here. It’s a giant robot that represents the economy or the free market and the text is about how they need to keep it alive. And it’s walking destroying things. Vague but I’m sure someone knows what I’m talking about.

They support their candidate no matter what horrors he commits, so they feel Democrats would obviously do the same thing. They were so far up their asses that they couldn't even hear the people on the left condemning him - to their ears, it was meaningless "wah wah wah" like the adults in Peanuts.

du -hast posted:Bill Lockyer, former CA Treasury Secretary (from 07 - 2015 - during the financial crisis and the CA budget meltdown) generally spent his entire time in budget meetings reading SciFi and Fantasy novels. I once spotted him reading Wizard's First Rule during a budget meeting. He basically sat there and read, ignoring the committee, until they told him what to do. He's a great guy and a lot of fun, but basically just dozed through his entire term. Seeing the treasurer reading that poo poo would throw up more red flags than May Day in China for me. (For those of you not up on your fantasy lit, Wizard's First Rule is part of an Objectivist series that, among other things, argues it's perfectly okay to kill pacifist protestors for being too wussy to fight for themselves.)

Yeah, it's an easy mistake to make. The first book is mostly generic fantasy, although not very good generic fantasy, with only a few  moments. Now if you see someone reading the later books, that is a sign for concern/intervention/severing all ties.

Xander77 posted:Nah, the series is pretty loving terrible from the start. We've actually had talks in that thread about how long into the series it takes to realize you're reading terrible objectivist propaganda. Consensus is that book one is enough plain, WHT knock-off fantasy that you could plausibly miss it. If you get to the statue that converts everyone to objectivism just by looking at it, then you're either really dense or sixteen. So really dense.
