Starship Troopers is a book you read as a teen and think is cool but if you revisit later just lol the same could be said of anything by Heinlein, which makes perfect sense considering his only worthwhile stories are those juveniles explicitly written for children

I don't see why this would need to happen, since the Democratic Party will still exist and likely have moved to the right in various areas. There would need to be a culture war realignment of some sort where "dumb rednecks and Christian fundamentalists" stopped being associated with the Republican Party and Democrats stopped being associated with "credentialed professionals." sexpig by night posted:i know we mock uspol a lot but you guys should really read the D&D china thread for some real brain death.

Cuomo didnt resign because he has a powerful network that will protect his career and make sure he is never prosecuted. Someone like Franken does not have anything like that. It has nothing to do with "ignoring" accusations.

Looks like it's possible that the toast might pop up again this time but that's probably just a right wing talking pointquote:While previous influx sites (ed: l o l) have been criticized by Democrats in Congress and immigration advocates for sometimes falling short of state standards for licensed facilities, HHS has generally agreed to hold operators to those standards, said attorney Leecia Welch of the National Center for Youth Law. But it hasn’t committed to that now. Nor has HHS offered any other standards it plans to hold the facilities to. In a statement provided to ProPublica, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said, “We are seeing progress, but it takes time. In the meantime, the CBP workforce has done heroic work under difficult circumstances to protect these children (ed: lmao).” HHS did not respond to a request for comment. quote:HHS policy requires influx facilities to “comply, to the greatest extent possible, with State child welfare laws and regulations (such as mandatory reporting of abuse), as well as State and local building, fire, health and safety code.” There are no such commitments in place for emergency facilities, according to Welch and congressional staff. It’s still not clear who will operate the facilities after the initial setup is completed, or whether HHS will require them to provide support services to children, such as mental health counseling or legal assistance. Man this is going to get extremely, horrifically worse

Yinlock posted:i urge you to actually look at the poo poo d&d posts, because uhhh it definitely isn't "debate club ethos" However, being one of those leftists is not a requirement for posting here. Politics discussion is a major draw of this site but it's far from the only thing people come here for. Anyone can join and say what they think and talk in the politics forums, either this free-for-all one here or the more rigid one where you're expected to engage constructively with whoever is speaking. There are very few openly conservative people here, and the ones that are here know better than to speak of it too loudly. Given that we've already banned one half of all mainstream american thought, nearly entirely, I'm not prepared to outlaw the other one as well. The liberals are here and they're staying here and frankly, seeking to drive them off is pretty self-defeating. How did you leave that 99.9%? I'm guessing you weren't raised a leftist from birth - you wanna share? I will tell you how I did it - I was wrong about poo poo, and I posted about it right here on this website, and I learned better. Would that have happened if, instead of arguing, people just screamed at me that I must love rape and genocide so much I want to marry it? Probably not. I'd like to think I have a pretty thick skin, but who would stick around for that? Even when I believed dumb liberal horseshit, I knew I wasn't a white supremacist and if all I got when I posted was accusations of white supremacy, I'd gently caress off. Flinging those sorts of accusations at people who, like most of the people in the known universe, have merely failed to come to the same leftist conclusions you have is basically pulling the ladder up behind you. Most of the leftists on this site became leftists *because* of this site, and it's a good thing your forebears didn't treat you that way. (Sorry if this doesn't apply to you personally - it certainly applies to many many people in this thread.) This doesn't mean you have to enjoy that sort of debate - no one makes you participate. This doesn't mean you can't be frustrated by those opinions - I know they frustrate me! But it does mean you don't get to have a clubhouse in which you accuse those people of whatever exaggerated ideological crime you can imagine. Voting for Pete Buttigieg is stupid but it doesn't make you a white supremacist, and that sort of leap is really loving toxic when it's thrown at people who might instead figure things out, the same way many of us did. Some of them never will, and that is part of loving life - you share a community with people like that, both IRL and online, and truly, it's not the hell you think it is. You can still go engage in debate club with them if you want, but those debate-club rules are the reason the forum exists - like it or not, it's the forum where you back up what you say with thought and facts, not one where you find unbelievers to burn, and that applies to everyone. If you can't handle it, just let it go. I'm begging you. Accept that some people will have the resolve to debate with them, and some won't, and if you don't have the disposition to do so without verbally sucker-punching them, you have this whole other forum about politics right here to post in still, with people who agree with you. I will be straight and say that I like this thread a lot when it is about democrats in the large. I keep it bookmarked and the views expressed here match my own views more than any other thread on the forums. But the way you treat the other people on this site, whose only crime is being wrong in the liberal way that a hundred million americans are wrong, is poo poo. It's toxic to any sort of growth and it doesn't advance the cause at all - all it does is gently caress up this pretty cool web community we have going here, where, unlike almost anywhere else, people actually manage to exit that 99.9%. You have to quit loving it up. As an insane person, the success of this site is more important to me than the success of america, and if this thread cannot stop screaming at hapless liberals that they love rape and genocide until they leave forever in fear of losing their jobs, it has to go away.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Would that have happened if, instead of arguing, people just screamed at me that I must love rape and genocide so much I want to marry it? That's reasonable and I agree inter-forum war poo poo is dumb, if only because it's mostly drab and wrung out and cspammers at large aren't funny enough to make it funny (that includes me). It's dumb when certain cspamers get a wild stick up their rear end making up conspiracy theories about FYAD or QCS making up stuff about cspam or whatever. We're all slovenly goons with a BMI that isn't even on the CDC charts regardless of the forumid. I'm certainly guilty of D&Dlols at time and will try not to reference them or specific goons in the future. I think it's fine and healthy that people can c/p lols, whether it's from twitter or reddit or D&D or lepers colony; but it seems reasonable to require it kept anonymous if it's from within and not pied piper an trail of rats trying to intentionally call-out and taintrunner everything up. for example this is comedy gold and should be posted regardless of source:

to be frank right back at you, d&d mods are openly punishing people for arguing against liberal orthodoxy and they routinely ignore facts and arguments inconvenient to said orthodoxy, so if there's a clubhouse on these forums where honest debate isn't allowed it sure as hell ain't here also they openly turned on a dime from screaming about how you have to support biden because concentration camps to arguing until they're blue in the face that the very same camps run by the very same people (except even more overcrowded in the middle of a pandemic) are actually good and necessary the moment that their guy was in charge, so this ain't just some "well you voted for the wrong empty suit", it's outright atrocity denial that's protected and condoned. and as long as that kind of thinking is protected from any and all pushback nobody is going to learn anything except how to make better rationalizations for why this whole horrorshow is acceptable when their team is winning so i don't think the real point of contention here is that people itt are expecting you to ban the libs or make debate impossible somehow, it's more that the cesspit that d&d has become is stinking up the entire forums
