For real. When you get to the point where you’re getting drunk five/six nights a week and you stop really having hangovers and instead just get that vague tired feeling and sluggishness and soreness and feel a little mentally fuzzy, combined with just the natural breakdown of the body as you get older, that sounds like exactly the symptoms of Havana syndrome

ive know people who had to drink before/during work otherwise they would shake too badly to do anything at all

Counter point. Massive-scale Public Transit must be implemented now, and in the world with the political will to enact a $10/floor price per gallon, a 10trillion BBB hopes and dreams edition bill would certainly pass.

we do. the left bernie types in the democratic party instantly and gladly jumped to joe. the most reliable joe voters in 2020 were people who supported bernie. bernie himself abandoned the bernie cause before anyone else and signed up under the blood banner of joe biden

In the first 15 minutes of my time I will talk about the coffin I was literally going to be buried in if Jan 6 succeeded. In the last 15 minutes I will talk about my conservative friends, the importance of bipartisanship, and how important a strong republican party was for the future of the nation

Jesus loving Christ, this is all so god damned stupid. I'm not suggesting that the Democrats don't have to do something about it rather than complaining, but I'm just a guy on a dead comedy forum so I'm going to complain. Since when are "help wanted" signs a signal of a bad economy???? 90% of loving economic policy over my entire loving lifetime has been about getting there to be more "help wanted" signs! JOBS JOBS JOBS, right? What the actual gently caress is going on?

I think people just feel like absolute poo poo and we're blaming it on "the economy" when it's actually our rotten culture and a deadly disease that are ruining our lives, not "the economy", but our political culture has given us no way to say "everybody sucks, everything sucks and I'm afraid of dying" except "the economy is bad."

The biggest difference is if you get in a posting beef in cspam you're allowed to actually throw down about it, and discussions here are a lot more straightforward as a result

Cspam as a community also holds people to a standard. It's wild to me that people can reject a lot of established understanding of history, sociology, and economics for their gut feeling that Americans are unreachable animals and get away with it in the serious discussion forum.

The messaging kind of has, which is why so many people think the BBB plan has free college and loan forgiveness and whatnot. It's because the pelosi 90% of the party stands for nothing at all so they have nothing to talk about

There's what, 300 Dems in between aoc/Bernie and manchin+sinema. What do any of them want besides salt cap repeal

Yeah this is cool and right it's why i like posting here tbh. Also the weird intracommunity forum posting grudges just don't happen here

It's still weird to me how these forums get their cliques even after 13 years but

We have only one enemy and it is DND. And we didn't ask them to be born stupid or liberal

if someone has nothing to add to the thread but being a boring, weirdo loving troll, then kick the poo poo out of them. it's the same loving principle as with HAU showing up.

an actual lib showing up is at least interesting. "the dems sure are great!!!!" poo poo isnt

Yeah, HAU's posting when he's popped into this thread is basically the most clear-cut example of trolling (in the bad sense) imaginable. They're very transparent about the fact that they're just trying to rile people up.

IMO posting should usually be allowed if the person in question is obviously emotionally invested in what they're saying (which is literally the complete opposite of trolling). D&D operates off of the dumb standard of "anything that riles people up is trolling," and C-SPAM shouldn't start doing that also.

the right thing to do with libs that wander in here - and this is especially true of the earnest ones - is to let the discussion take its course and everyone have their say. let everyone pile on and call them a dumb baby with poo poo for brains, let the people with a fetish for addressing that garbage with facts and theory have their moment, let the people who want to meta post about c-spam suck all the air out of the room etc etc. basically take a hands off approach until the whole thing is like probably half a page away from burning itself out. then find the most innocuous post the liberal made in the thread and give them a sixer for it

everyone lining up to take a number to roast the DSA idiots mad at criticism of it really taught me a lot about the DSA. It was extremely informative.

I now know the DSA is more worthless and stupid than I ever thought possible. Imagine if we had simply probated these babies that were mad and making GBS threads up threads because people were joking about their Model United Nations for Adults being worthless.

"Republicans are all irredeemable white devils who should be unpersoned" would at least still be a coherent ideological stance, except that the Dem leadership that they cherish and revere so much are the prime advocates of "We need to appeal to the sensible moderate Republican voters", "Republicans will have an epiphany and start working with Democrats once Trump is gone", "America needs a strong Republican party", giving eulogies for Strom Thurmond, and endorsing Republican candidates for Congress three years into the Trump presidency.

Did they put the stress on the second syllable like Latino/Latina or did they just say Latin X because the handful of times I’ve heard someone pronounce it in real life they always do the latter which makes no goddamned sense to me

my post was somewhat tongue in cheek but really for posters like noob sagat you either have to probate them on sight (in which case they will start building a case against you), or take a posture that is basically unpredictable / capricious. half the fun for them is knowing where the line is and going right up to it without crossing over, or only crossing over and catching a punishment when they want to. so take that away from them
