Last time I was at one of these, we stormed the building, spat in their faces, and got out while they were trapped in a security lockdown and scared shitless.

The "tribalism" thing is a clever pun, but it's not a clever burn because it doesn't actually say anything about Warren's character or history except that she's possibly somewhat less than perfectly white.

This makes sense, and I was in the wrong here. I really didn't give it the depth of consideration it deserved, and some of my frustration at Warren as a candidate slipped through. I really do apologize for making GBS threads up the thread. Honestly getting called out and subsequently questioning some of my statements or patterns of thinking are things that have kept me reading D&D for years. So yeah, unequivocally sorry for my garbage posts there.

"They have been reluctant to widen the scope of the inquiry because capturing public attention and holding it for weeks on end is difficult, particularly in the Trump era. Indeed, President Trump has escaped accountability for an astonishing number of scandals by exploiting this very difficulty—the sheer volume of his unacceptable behavior has overwhelmed the public’s capacity to fully grapple with any single outrage."

Elon Musk says Brexit made him decide against Tesla electric car Gigafactory in UK
independent.co.uk/1 day ago
'"Electric car pioneer Elon Musk has picked Germany for his new factory because of Brexit, embarrassing Boris Johnson as he prepares to pledge a “clean-energy revolution”.

The prime minister is due to make a televised speech at an electric-car plant in the West Midlands – but the visit risks being overshadowed by Mr Musk’s change of heart.

At an award ceremony in Germany, the entrepreneur announced: “We’ve decided to put the Tesla Gigafactory Europe in the Berlin area.”'

The problems we face are a matter of distribution not growth. Growth is necessary unless we can reduce population. Economic growth isn't just fat cat bank accounts, it's food production, housing, clothing, medical care

Is it though? Hard to argue that growth in luxury condo development, farmed caviar, or the US health industry results in more housing, food, or medical care. You could totally have growth with no useful goods or services being produced. The tulip craze is the classic example.

lol Barr is going to make a dumb insane partisan russia report that 40% of the country will buy anyway, while the rest of the country calls them morons like usual

I have to ask, do they really think that 40% will ever leave? Is it really worth focusing all your efforts on keeping you cult level of devotion followers faithful every minute of every day?

They aren't enough to win elections. It's been proven multiple times in the past few years now

I think it's less to convince the choir and more to confuse as much of the public as possible. Lay on as much gaslighting as possible to turn people off into both-sides land and disengage voters.

Yeah it is, the luxury markets you are talking about are a tiny mostly irrelevant part of the larger economy. Part of the reason why these rear end in a top hat billionaires have so much paper wealth is because there isn't much that they can spend it on.

Posts without context as to what was going on as the hearing was ongoing was a slog but most did an ok job of filling in context after one of the mods said to knock it off. As long as people remember that some of us can’t watch it live due to work or other reasons that’s helpful.

Imagine being the 4th judge in the story, whose entire roll in this insanity is:

A fourth judge went into the White Castle

Nothing about how they got there, how drunk they were, or their interactions with anything. They appeared from the ether to walk through a White Castle door, and then immediately returned to the ether.

One time a friend and I went to one and as we were arriving a guy was shooting about not being let in and threatened to come back with a gun and shoot everyone. We asked the bouncer what was up and apparently they told him he couldn't bring his dog or bag of groceries in with him.

So I figure that was a failed attempt to visit a strip club.
