Lo and behold they both grew up to be smokers. Last time I checked they still sell the shredded beef jerky that looks like chewing tobacco. They've sold bubble gum that was supposed to look like chewing tobacco for my entire life called "Major League Chew". Even came in the same foil packs as chewing tobacco. Edit: fuckin beaten you sons of bitches.

A recent Field Poll that found 62 narrowly failing found that 66 has lost serious ground so there's a small silver lining  Still gonna run the porn industry out of the state though.

Guy Goodbody posted:There was a moment in a recent NPR Politics Podcast where one of the presenters said, speaking of the election, "this needs to be over" and sounded so tired and disgusted No-one really wants to do this last half-month. I doubt anyone even wants to do this last debate. Viewership of the second one was way down, I'm guessing this one will be comparatively in the toilet after the second. I mean I obviously hope Hillary dumpsters him completely and we get an epic meltdown that destroys his campaign further, but I'm actually not sure how much more damage there is for her to do.

That's actually true, but because of the way it's marketed and the declining prevalence of chewing tobacco in baseball these days it's probably acting more like indirect marketing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07B2ZdODvbU This is from way back in July when Hillary had her Hamilton fundraiser thing. But the video is posted on one of the actors from the show's personal youtube page and has <2k views so I don't think it's been seen by too many people. Check out the dramatic change between her giving her speech in her usual tone which can be a bit cold/robotic and then at 5 minutes when she goes to talk to the cast. Even when she goes on talk shows or SNL or whatever she seems a bit scripted/reserved, but here she just seems like an excited nana at her grandchild's school play  .Don't get me wrong, I get why she usually hides/restrains that sort of warmth and emotion (her Humans of New York post explains it), but it's nice to see it. I totally believe all the stories of her true personality shining in one-on-one conversations.

Though yeah, 60 being on its way to passing is really bad, and I hate how the ballot description hides so much of what it actually does. Not only is it a morally abhorrent law pretending to be one that's good for women, it's also just really dumb; rear end in a top hat who wrote it is going to be made a taxpayer-funded public servant who monitors all the state's porn and who can't be fired. Like, what the hell? How is that even allowed?

Agnosticnixie posted:Or you know, primary the fucker. Also this is generally a terrible argument that only feeds a relatively complacent, liberal view of how things progress. Without angry people, the assimilationists would have gotten nowhere. Okay buddy you find me a human being that has never been wrong about anything ever and primary all the flip-floppers. And I am not arguing against being angry at bigots and at oppression. That's valuable. Continuing to be angry at people who changed their minds and now agree with you, now that's just dumb and counterproductive. I am glad Robert Byrd went from KKK Grand Wizard to a 100% rating from the NAACP. How does continuing to hate him advance the cause of civil rights. Why should we have primaried him with some no-name with no recognition who will go on to get destroyed by Republicans in the general. There is a reason Republicans are always concern trolling about some Democrat's decades-old opinions and it's not because Republicans are trying to advance the cause of civil rights!

Actually I don't even remember if it was any good or if it was like Fruit Stripe gum, where flavor length was measured in nanoseconds. I did almost buy a pack of Big League Chew a couple months ago when I saw it at the check out for nostalgia though. Then I remembered the last time I indulged my childhood gum nostalgia and got bubble tape. Put the whole thing in my mouth to see if I could chew six feet of bubble gum, and almost choked after my jaw got tired of chewing. Pop Rocks are still good though.

Also I'm kind of baffled that almost none of the progressive voting guides had an opinion on Prop 60, despite it being so bad that the Republicans, Democrats, and even Libertarians are all officially against it; even the League of Women Voters didn't give one either way on it.

So somebody here posted the German version of the daily show for last week, with English subtitles. I decided to look at the week before last i.e. 10/7/16. It has some funny segments: Starting around 6:30 (you can pretty much start there) a Muslim looking guest talks about giving hugs and whatnot to anti-immigrant Germans. Then they have a segment where they send a guy posing as a "Russia Today - Kids" reporter into an anti-immigrant "Unity" day to hear them say dumb German "this is ARE country" type stuff. Then they go into Putin/Obama and Russian internet troll factories. The rest is less relevant to us/understandable, start at 6:30. https://youtu.be/_v0T0b9qSEA

I know what you're referring to, but if you look closely, the claim is only made in the argument against and rebuttal to the argument for, and not the summary or legislative analysis. Furthermore, said claims are very artfully worded:
All of those claims were so extraordinary that I read through the legal text later on to find evidence, and it wasn't nearly as bad as the claims made it out to be. It's a lovely moralistic proposition in the guise of a women's health initiative, to be sure, but the opponents' points in the voter's guide are actually rather deceptive in their own right.

Instant Sunrise posted:most adult film performers work as a 1 person production company and would be required to disclose because of that. Is this actually true? I am admittedly skeptical and would appreciate some industry statistics (not that I expect there are many). I assumed that it was more like the standard film industry where the performers rarely produce media themselves (excluding, of course, the obvious exception of amateurs, which is why I didn't highlight the "married couples" point)

Furthermore, said claims are very artfully worded: Actually, that's not the one I checked; I was using the California Progressive Voter Guide, among others, and it say, "Prop 60 would require adult film performers to wear condoms and use taxpayer dollars to appoint Michael Weinstein, the author of the ballot initiative, as a state employee. His job would be to monitor all adult film production in CA. The initiative may also make public the identities and addresses of adult performers, who often use screen names for privacy reasons." It is also "Neutral" on this issue, somehow. Possibly because it's an aggregate guide made up of the opinions of multiple other progressive groups (most of which agree on the issues; only one prop doesn't have unanimous non-neutral views) and not enough opposed it, but still. Really, the bill's so bad they shouldn't need to lie about it. What's there is already awful. Lamb Chowder posted:I wonder more every year if the Louisiana purchase was really worth it. Yeah blah blah transcontinental railroad. The American Econ history text I read says that it's not all it was cracked up to be. This is great, though. Hopefully we get something like that in the real election too. Edit: Plugged this in and Trump only gets 99 EVs, to Hillary's 436. It's a shame we probably won't get numbers this good.

It's a perfect storm that appeals to both the left and right. The people who hate porn will vote for it because it hurts the porn industry and will force it to de facto close (also, it helps those poor adult film performers who are being taken advantage of by those most unscrupulous and immoral producers!) Those who like porn will vote for it because reducing STDs and promoting safe sex is in line with their world view with respect to reproductive rights and a safe, healthy working environment.
