I'm trying to figure out why someone (whatever intern runs the youtube channel) uploaded a 30 minute repeat of a 10 sec ad.

Cugel the Clever posted:That's not really how faithless electors work. The process varies from state to state, but the makeup of the electoral college in a state is chosen by the party that gets the votes (usually known partisan stalwarts) and a "faithless elector" would be one that went against their selector's candidate. Neither party is going to manage to have picked more than a couple duds/wolves-in-sheep's-clothings. That’s what I mean, some sort of counting in a way to get an initial GOP lead and then just declaring that it’s done.

Aside from political machinations that McConnell has pulled off since Garland, utter spite and contempt has become such a key piece of the mainstream republican identity. https://twitter.com/judiciarygop/status/1320878683423428609?s=21 It’s not just about disagreements of policy. The GOP has publicly endorsed the idea that a key motivator is just to ridicule and wish ill on your opponents.

In fairness remember the Hillary tweet from 4 years ago yesterday? Honestly I think it’s that, just most people don’t remember the reference (because besides political junkies, no one real cares about it). I mean it’s petty and dumb, but eh I’m having trouble caring about anything related to Hillary “You don’t need to visit Central PA” Clinton getting dunked on.

Ok then how about the GOP using a flag named by its creator as the “anti-blm” flag in place of a US flag? How’s that for evidence that spite and ridicule is the point.

I’m just saying the Hillary one is birthed from her own stupidity and hubris and then further mutated by CHUDS into their own form of stupidity. Also that RBG quote about a female president appointing her successor fuels it too. Also did we ever find out who thought that tweet (for Hillary) was a good idea? I still need to find a good deep dive read on how she and her campaign absolute turbofucked things up. Because Comey wouldn’t have mattered if she knew how to campaign better.

I just find handwringing about how people other than the GOP are the real hypocrites because they’d cheer if they abandoned process to get things done. 1: probably not because they haven’t done that even when they definitely should have done so 2: brutal use of parliamentary tactics are not all “the same” when one is motivated by spite and animus and punishment

They did when Harry Reid removed the judicial filibuster for non SCOTUS seats. I’m not even criticizing him for it mind you. 2. You’re telling me that 2 won’t apply if Chuck Schumer gets to be majority leader (eh he is a bit weak especially compared to Reid)? Also the house is definitely filled with people motivated by all three of those. I’ll freely admit the the Republicans (and it’s not like I vote for them) tend to do it in things related to people dying of disease; while Democrats tend to show it most when coming up with new ways to say gun control that doesn’t have the word control in it. So they arguably kill less people I’ll give you that.

Just the most miserably bad false equivalence to try to “both sides” donestic politics.

I was pointing out that the Republican ones were far worse by virtue of the comparison. I was conceding that point to you. Just being slightly playful in doing it.

Autopsies of the 2016 Hilary campaign are a dime a dozen. The TL;DR of it is she was a flawed candidate running at the precisely wrong moment. Her (well known) flaws wouldn’t have been such an issue if the following conditions weren’t also occurring: 1) electoral college mechanics that weight against the popular vote 2) 2016 being a “change” election 3) third party candidates drawing votes away 4) Comey’s letter coming right as undecided were making up their minds 5) Large state level polling missing in key states 6) the widespread belief that Clinton’s election was a foregone conclusion 7) Low turnout compared to previous presidential elections.

golden bubble posted:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Porcupine_(G93) It can work the other way too. In World War One the Royal Navy had two destroyers, Zulu and Nubian, get severely damaged but at different ends. Some cleverdick figured out they could combine the hulls and thus HMS Zubian was born.

stackofflapjacks posted:I've never heard of this, care to elaborate? "On 2 May 1964, while Card was moored dockside in Saigon, a Viet Cong frogman, Lam Son Nao, age 27 at the time of the attack, planted an explosive charge that blew a hole in the hull, killing five crewmen. Card settled in 20 feet (6.1 m) of water. She was patched and pumped out, and raised on 19 May, and towed to Subic Bay, and then Yokosuka for repairs. Card returned to service on 11 December.[3] The attack has parallels to the suicide bombing of the USS Cole, in terms of being an example of "cost effective" asymmetric warfare" https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/during-vietnam-war-commandos-sunk-us-aircraft-carrier-86721

stackofflapjacks posted:I've never heard of this, care to elaborate? Card was a WW2 escort carrier retained as an aircraft ferry operated by a civilian crew under Military Sea Transportation Service control when a Viet Cong infiltrator rigged a charge that blew a hole in her hull in Saigon harbor. She sank in 20 feet of water and was refloated and returned to service. It's technically the Viet Cong sinking a US aircraft carrier but not really.

stackofflapjacks posted:I've never heard of this, care to elaborate? The Card was docked in Saigon and a VC frogman planted explosives on the side. It sunk 20ft and bottomed out. They refloated it and it was repaired and put under sail again. It was a Bogue-class escort carrier from WWII and it spent the Vietnam War ferrying helicopters over.

That ship didn't get cut in half - but it would have split in two had the deck department not stitched the growing damages together with wire rope. Ships do get cut wide open to remove MRGs or engines, though.

It's definitely fun predicting release delays for a game that was supposed to be out five years ago, then entirely scrapped, redeveloped and gliding past release dates ever since. Like it's entire thing is teasing people and running off to a future release date, to be delayed again. Cyberpunk is the cold fusion of video games.
