DACK FAYDEN posted:I had a conversation about this before the election and we conclusively settled on "never better than now, even if now sucks" Yea, I constantly feel like things are going to Hell, but at the same time I know that objectively there have probably never been a better time, especially socially and politically, and while climate change is a ticking bomb, things are getting better for the majority of people, especially in the developing world. Then again, that's probably the point, the jobs disappearing in the west are helping the developing world, but making us feel like we are in decline because things are on a whole evening out while we blame foreigners instead of billionaires who are constantly moving jobs even out of developing countries to keep wages down. Not to mention that while sweat shops are far from ideal, they are often better than jobs available and they provide income that exceed what people earn normally in those places, increasing the standard of living and the focus should be on improving the conditions rather than closing them down (I sound more like a capitalist the older I get than the socialist I imagine myself to be). And at the end of the day, news about horror and poverty sells more than the stories about development and success, though at the same time, there need be a focus on the problems for there to be pressure of improving society. Still, I am probably never going to stop worrying about a world controlled by mega corporations and police states, if not just struggling to survive in a collapsing world. No loving way I am becoming a prepper, I would just kill myself after running out of toilet paper anyhow. Rincewinds fucked around with this message at 12:33 on Dec 17, 2017 |

The Groper posted:America was great up until the late 1400's or so I genuinely believe America was never better than November 7th 2016 and that we have never been anywhere near "great". We're pretty good by comparison to other places in a lot of ways! But on the whole, it's like that Churchill quote about democracy - I'd rather live now because every other time is worse, not because now rules so much.

Duke Igthorn posted:One thing lost in the obvious "He fired someone for bias so that means he's bias???" answers is that bias doesn't change fact. The political affiliation of the Watergate security guard that discovered the break in doesn't change the facts of the break in. So, basically, all of these people are saying "Well OF COURSE they are going to find something incriminating: the people looking for something incriminating hate the person they're investigating" which...I mean...wut? ratbert90 posted:I love that the FBI narrative has gone from "There's no collusion -> It's a big nothing burger -> the FBI is bias ->fake evidence!"

It's only because Moore lost, now they all have an excuse to backtrack and pretend they never supported him. Had he won, they'd all be crowing about how that somehow magically proves he isn't a pedophile.

Xander77 posted:Oh goddamit. The first time I remember an actor (can't remember who it was at all) publicly complain about Dustin Hoffman's horrible sexual advances on set was some time in the late 80s or early 90s. I guess it just wasn't considered a big deal back then. Don't know what this one is about though. e: Checked recent news and it wasn't any of the three cases talked about in them. The only reason I remember it was because the actor made some allusion to bologna sausage.

Bok's output is like 10% broken clock, 60% talking points shill, 30% spiteful, willfully-dense hot takes. Beeler's numbers are more like 40/50/10.

HERBLOCK BALBOA If we're on the subject of greatness and reminiscing about the past, why not check out this week's Herblocks, all about gun control? Herblock posted:6. Bang, You're Dead Cartoons! November 27, 1964 December 29, 1964 March 10, 1965 June 6, 1965 August 25, 1965 November 2, 1965 January 5, 1966 August 3, 1966 Herblock posted:In August 1966 a 24-year-old man killed his wife and mother and then shot more than 40 people from the tower of the University of Texas, killing 13 more. Governor Connally, who had said in 1963 that the assassination of President Kennedy could have occurred in any American city, now expressed doubt about the value of proposed federal gun-control legislation. Texas is one of the states with the weakest gun laws and highest gun homicide rates in the U.S. This refers to the University of Texas tower shooting on August 1. August 4, 1966 Herblock politicizing a tragedy, SMH. August 31, 1966 October 21, 1966 November 1, 1966 April 6, 1967 The recreational argument against gun control seems to have gone away in favor of the self-defense argument. September 24, 1967 March 8, 1968 April 10, 1968 Ten days after MLK was shot. May 19, 1968 The answer was "No." June 6, 1968 Drawn the day that RFK died. June 9, 1968 I guess some things never change. Next time, Herblock on nuclear weapons. Previous entries: the Johnson administration, the economy, the Vietnam War, civil rights, inner cities.

Via Columbus, or the Vikings? Probably before that happened, whenever that was. Man, to have a time machine...
