Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:These people are sane They're making a concerted effort to demonize her in the same way they did HRC for the past few decades. Except, AOC doesn't have all of the dead bodies stashed in mansion closets that HRC does, and she's not a decorum centrist or completely tone deaf like HRC. I'm watching how AOC's term unfolds eagerly, because I think a large portion of the GOP's propaganda and disinformation campaigns rely on making a boogeyman out of socialism and socialist policies, and they have no loving idea how to deal with someone with mass appeal who's response is basically, "gently caress yeah I'm for socialism, and here's exactly why in simple, logical, relatable terms, etc etc" Look at Ben Shapiro jerking himself raw over her on Twitter. They KNOW she is onto something. And she's so adept at disarming the attacks that have sent establishment Democrats tripping over themselves, they're freaked out.

Fallom posted:Wow it’s like having the front row neck destroying theater experience in your own home Sure, I'll just tear down my 150 year old fireplace to mount the TV in a more optimal position to binge Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's not like I have 4 other TVs in my house. Edit to be less snarky: I only ever use that TV to play music or have something on when guests are over (and occasionally to play Mario Kart). And I was laying down when I took it. It would look like this in my normal sitting position.

white sauce posted:Nah actually, I think it’s as simple as understanding that Hillary and Nancy are simply implicit white supremacists and they’re always going to believe in a “natural” racial hierarchical ordering of society where well-off white people like them and their families are always at the top, so of course all lives matter. Yes, Nancy and Hil are secretly burning crosses when they can get away with it. They ARE Succdems that have more than fumbled, and sometimes ignored racial equality and justice. That's why the democratic party needs new, young blood, or it's going to continue down the same succpath. Creating a loyal voting underclass, probably. But you know, you're right whitesauce, these women are racist biotruthers who just use their power to subdue any minority they can. Like the dixiecrats they totally are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfelqZpapZA EE- Why am I responding with so much effort to whitesauce?

I get you man my house is 60 years old and I had to put my TV opposite my fireplace so it wouldn’t be torture to watch. We only use the fireplace once in a while so it wasn’t that much of a compromise even if it makes the room look a little silly.

The solution to all tv placement issues is an AV cart so you can relive the glory days of getting into the classroom and realizing there would be no quiz or test or homework because there was a sub and it was time for a movie.Crow Jane posted:A friend of mine works in exhibitions at the Smithsonian, and it's kind of boggling her mind atm that she's considered essential (ie still going to work and getting paid) and others are not Possible her boss pulled some strings?

Saying "all lives matter" is like complaining about your broken air conditioner to a person whose house is on fire. Being technically correct doesn't make you any less of a jerk.

Like items from the collections that will be irreversibly damaged if you don't get them into and keep them in an inert atmosphere. One of the last shutdowns there was a good article in the post about the kind of survivor's guilt among the people classified as essential.

You win. the entire loving point is there's a whole wide range between 'literally a perfect person' and 'leading a lynch mob' and poo poo like answering a BLM question with mentioning 'all lives matter' and framing it as 'issues of the past' plays into the already existing power structure in a white supremacist culture even if Nancy Pelosi is PROBABLY not a literal member of the Aryan Brotherhood who throws bricks through black church windows.
