Jurgan posted:Albuquerque, OTOH, is having a multi-day snowfall; I'm new in town, but apparently it's the first blizzard warning in decades. I suspect the climate might be changing. We had a pretty decent snowfall here in El Paso and it's freezing temperatures all week. I posted that on Facebook and an old boss in Chicago commented with "global warming". I know this guy is an extreme global warming denialist so the comment was an "if global warming then why snow?", but my relatives and friends all agreed with him because they know how global warming works, my nephew commenting "I know, it's crazy right now!" Even more ironic is that Chicago is actually warmer than El Paso right now.

drat, Varvel wrote and produced movies? This sounds like a winner:The War Within posted:THE WAR WITHIN is a unique fantasy that takes viewers to a world that only God can see; the world of the inner man. Michael Sinclair (Brett Varvel) is a syndicated cartoonist whose dream of a perfect life is upended when tragic events transform his dream into a nightmare. The result is a war that wages within his soul which is personified by six members; Mind, Memory, Emotion, Will, Conscience, and Heart. The ensuing battle for control adversely effects his relationship with his wife Amy (Rebecca Reid) and causes Michael to doubt his faith in God. But in the midst of this spiritual test, Michael discovers that victory is found in surrender. As viewers follow the quest for answers inside of Michael, they may discover their own war within.

Fulchrum posted:Yeah, what do you expect, him to put the country and people first over his own political career? Purposely sabotaging his chances of helping the country just so he can stand in the ashes and go "told you so" doesn't help anyone either. The fact is that enough voters still want a good Brexit that you can't run a platform of no-Brexit (a whole bunch of unsafe Labour seats are also located in areas that voted leave). And you can't tell the people that a good Brexit isn't possible because both sides spent the last 2 years telling the people how they were going to do a good Brexit. If Corbyn comes out now and says a good Brexit isn't possible then that means he was lying the whole time. And a second referendum would probably end up with both parties promising that they could do a good Brexit yet again. Combined with the staggering amount of animosity generated against the EU through this whole Brexit disaster, the average Brit probably has a lower opinion of EU now than they did at the first referendum. The truth is probably that the British people will have to first eat the worst that Brexit has to offer. Live with it for a few years and then Labour can campaign on rebuilding afterwards. I don't know if rejoining the EU is even remotely plausible in the next 20 years. British pride would probably prevent any party from running on that platform but maybe Labour can manually negotiate all the trade deals one at a time to restore the country to some semblance of what it was before. You can't argue the British people into accepting that they voted wrong. Especially not before they got a chance to feel the result They have to watch their whole lives collapse around them as a result and then be given a chance to vote right. Even then you probably have to frame it in a way so they can get out of it with all their dignity. Like we're not reversing Brexit. Just improving on it slightly. Continuing Brexit on its natural course for a better society through improved foreign relations (wink loving wink)

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Honest question: what would a "good Brexit" even be? Literally everything about Brexit seems bad. There really isn't one since the UK already had a sweetheart deal with the EU where they got all the good parts (free movement, European market) without the bad bits (the Euro, loss of economic sovereignty). The best thing they could do right now is just basically go "the 1st referendum was non binding, gently caress that, we're cancelling Brexit" without doing a 2nd referendum. Even if they leave and come back in 20 years they're not getting as good a deal as they had in the first place.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Honest question: what would a "good Brexit" even be? Literally everything about Brexit seems bad. There is no good Brexit, but the people believe there is because their leaders on both sides told them so. May has been promising good deals forever. Corbyn has his six tests which from last I heard were 100% unrealistic and at best just serves to sink Mays lovely deals. A noble enterprise certainly but it has Corbyn implying that he and Labour may have a way to do a good Brexit if given the chance and so Brexit is given momentum by both sides as something that can be good if only the right person is at the wheel. But no one can affect any change on the subjected without a mandate from the people and that mandate will only be giving to someone who implies they can do a good Brexit. That mandate has to be given. That party then has to fail utterly, the reality has to come crashing down and then the other side has a chance to promise something else. Hopefully that will be Labour with some very skilled phrasing that will let them sign a deal that is EU membership in everything but name. Minus any influence on the EU as a whole. Discendo Vox posted:Is there a viable Corbyn successor? This seems like the optimum time for a carefully arranged, charisma-heavy generational transition. I don't believe the current Labour vote minus the voters on the fence who are are pro-leave make up enough votes for a majority in parliament. The Brexit process is a completely failure but the people are not yet convinced that the concept of Brexit has failed. Just that the Tories are failing to implement it properly.

Huh, I guess someone was exaggerating. Still, three “historic” or “record” snows in 12 years doesn’t make me feel better. Mellow Seas posted:The video was embarrassing, of course, but if you have access to alternate-universe-viewing equipment I will bet you all the dollars that in a world where Warren never made the video, Delonis drew the exact same cartoon. I’m still not sure what the big deal is. Mostly people just say it was bad politics, but the people who will attack her for it would have attacked her anyway. I don’t see anything wrong with doing the DNA test to find out the truth about her heritage, since she never claimed to be a Native American herself. Some Cherokee officials complained I think because they were worried it would give the impression that Cherokee citizenship is about DNA, but she never said that, so... I didn’t watch the video, though; maybe it was presented badly.

Her doing a DNA test to somehow appease the right is like if AOC was to accept that challenge to debate Ben Shapiro. Met him at a debate, won the debate and then expected Conservatives to concede the point. There was no winning by dancing to their tune.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Honest question: what would a "good Brexit" even be? Literally everything about Brexit seems bad. A "Good Brexit", in British opinion, would have been that they'd keep all the perks of being members in the EU but with none of the drawbacks; eating their cake and having it too. Get access to the free market without having to respect EU norms for the products they put on that market. Get EU funding for British projects without having to contribute to the EU budget. And so on. But surprisingly, the EU didn't agree with any of this. This befuddled the average Briton, fortunately an explanation has been found: the EU is trying to make Britain pay for daring to recover freedom, it's trying to make an example out of it to deter others from also defecting, so it's really just a form of unfair persecution. Which is why a no-deal Brexit is preferable to Theresa May's deal. Rule Britannia!
