Sydin posted:Poked my head into the bad thread out of boredom and they're currently arguing that if you think the Boeing whistleblower was murdered instead of believing he killed himself after he explicitly told a ton of people in confidence "I'm not going to kill myself, I'm not suicidal, if I commit 'suicide' I have been murdered" then you are - in fact - a crackpot conspiracy theorist.

Lin-Manuel Turtle posted:[ELIZA] The quality of the lyrics is pretty much the same throughout, but it's remarkable how much better the musical sounds whenever LMM isn't singing. Ytlaya posted:For some reason my mind keeps trying to fit this to the melody of the "Worthless" song from The Brave Little Toaster The back half of the musical is pretty much a downward spiral for Hamilton, mirroring the actual history, but IIRC the only thing it actually criticizes him for is for stepping out on his hot wife.

my bony fealty posted:personally I greatly envy the simple, who can be satisfied with what their betters tell them the world is I mentioned this story the day it broke to the former CFO of Disney in passing to see if at the top end they flinch. Just cold shock. An American Corporation? Murder? Meanwhile he wanted a windows add-on made in Russia that fixed his taskbar removed and settled for some taskbar mod that is demonstably worse to not have Russian code on his computer...

Also Bush was a decent man who was guided by his moral principles, even if I disagree with him on some points he is worthy of respect.

No because the Japanese are our friends and these stories can't have any nuance that requires further explanation.

Voting is a right, and you're privileged to vote however you choose - just not that way.

Lin-Manuel Turtle posted:In 'Hamilton,' we're telling the stories of old, dead white men, but we're using actors of color, and that makes the story more immediate and more accessible to a contemporary audience.

Those are what lies misrepresent, by virtue of being false. Since bullshit need not be false, it differs from lies in its misrepresentational intent. The bullshitter may not deceive us, or even intend to do so, either about the facts or about what he takes the facts to be. What he does necessarily attempt to deceive us about is his enterprise. His only indispensably distinctive characteristic is that in a certain way he misrepresents what he is up to.

Voting is a right, and you're privileged to vote however you choose - just not that way. Nah, I think voting 3rd is still the greater sin to them. Not voting is merely failing to surrender a dem's rightfully entitled vote to them. Voting 3p is, in their mind, stealing that rightfully belonged vote and giving it to someone else, and according to lib math, doing this somehow manages to simultaneously remove a vote from the dem's existing total as well as adds one to the 3rd party candidate's total and adds 5 to the republican total.

Pepe Silvia Browne posted:what do people think "politics" means? I forget who said it, but someone posted a month or two ago that American politics is now just "do you like Trump, yes/no?" And it's not like that prior to Escalator Day was much better, but I don't think it was quite as centered on just one person. And despite Trump being a nazi rapist (like the rest of America's power), it's pretty impressive he's hijacked the consciousness since coming down the escalator.
