It was amazingly creepy - girl buys a pack of cigs, the woman at the counter says 'I'm gonna need more than that' and the girl loving rips a hunk of skin off her face and sets it on the counter while the narrator says some stuff about how smoking causes early wrinkles and, as well as destroying the rest of your body, screws up your skin. Good go smoke 1-2 packs a day please Rush.

When ever you guys are pissed/upset/sad about the current state of America just remember one thing. There are people out there orders of magnitudes more upset on right just because Obama is president. Just remember to mix their misery with your favorite alcohol for maximum effect.

Bunleigh posted:How do there still exist people who pay even a cursory level of attention to current events and can't tell Republicans are the problem? I'm not talking about the twisted hate-golems that make up the actual right wing base, I mean just regular-rear end well-meaning folks who fret about how dysfunctional everything is and believe the truth is in the middle somewhere. I just really can't believe anyone who isn't fully invested in the right-wing worldview can still at this point fail to recognize the reality they're living in. Because they believe their sports team can do nothing wrong and therefore the other team bad. That twitter owns hahahahahahaha.

Evil Sagan posted:What's the most right-wing thing you've done? I voted for Bob Dole in a school-sponsored mock election in 1996. I was a little pro-GOP poo poo until my brother went to Iraq for a couple tours. Then I kind of grew up. Thankfully all of this happened before I was allowed to vote. Speaking of, my first election was a school levy where I voted yes to fund my school.  Does hunting counts as right-wing in the eyes of the goon?

Blindeye posted:Maybe my most right-wing idea is I'm against assault weapons related measures that get put up for votes because they're easily bypassed and hard to enforce. I'd rather just have mandatory gun training and registration for licenses with databases made encrypted/blind except when requested by subpoena (ie you can't access the names of individuals without proper cause). Of course this would make me a commie to the NRA, so it's pretty hard for me to be anything but a socialist in the eyes of 45% of America these days. Na dude you're OK here. The big problem with the whole gun thing is the right doesn't really get the responsibility of owning an object whose sole purpose is to kill/maim. Half the time it's a big dick contest. The other half is finding excuses to justify killing others.

Fried Chicken posted:In some of the areas we need them, yeah. But in some cases its not just a matter of having the solutions, but one of getting the solutions deployed in time. No one wants to pay to shift from oil and coal to methane and solar, but it is cheaper, carbon neutral, doesn't require infrastructure changes like the claim, and doesn't require the battery storage they claim either. It just happens to cost the existing interests a lot and benefit a new crowd. Eventually costs will force it, but the damage done by then will be huge. Stuff like this is the big problem. Phosphates make you, uh, literally go. So, unlike nitrogen, the phosphates end up in the water then? Nitrogen's pretty easy to fix on a smaller scale with crop rotation. Some plants come with little buggers that fixate nitrogen for the plant to use. Phosphates aren't as nice I presume. There are a few other little micro nutrients, too, that get hit on with soil depletion. A lot of the first-row transition metals are needed for plants and humans alike. Now doesn't this kind of go back to the energy problem? I imagine there are a lot of little goodies extractable from seawater. Just that current methods take gently caress loads of juice. That's why I'm still on the nuclear bandwagon. Only way to meet our needs with current technology that isn't fossil fuel. Besides being powered by atoms so big they shake themselves apart is pretty sweet.

zoux posted:Oh the courts are about to rule, again, that the public education system in Texas violates the constitutional requirement that state education be equitable and effective. This happens all the time; the courts rule public education sucks and the Legislature has to fix it, the Legislature tries to shuffle around a bunch of existing money and raise accountability standards and try to find zero cost solutions to the what I will charitably call the education "problem" in the state. Republicans will pronounce the problem fixed and then every school district in the state will sue the state for violating the state constitution and the pattern will repeat. So that's why Rick Perry goes around the country talking about Texas. He's trying to attract talent his state has trouble producing!

Ghost of Reagan Past posted:The problem is a combination of religion, xenophobia, and a brain drain. Many educated Nebraskans leave Nebraska for better opportunities elsewhere. It's a very homogeneous place to live, with tons of white people. Lots of Nebraskan youth are married while in college, or soon after, and are pretty religious. All this probably contributes to it. I lived in the Western part of Nebraska for a year. It was miserable for this reason. There really wasn't anything there outside of health care for the aging population or those in agriculture.

The first from a biker who wants to be Governor so he can get some practice for his eventual winning Presidential campaign (God promised him this) and the other from a man who appears to be a 19th century gold prospector who is concerned because his Bible told him we're going to run out of iodine before the nuclear apocalypse. Should note that Butch Otter only agreed to debate Russ if the other two primary candidates were allowed to come as well. One of the few good things Butch Otter has ever done!

zoux posted:Why are gun rights such an important issue in the US? I was thinking about this the other day, but what makes people care about guns above all other political concerns. If a Republican candidate is listing his or her conservative credentials, the first thing they mention is their NRA rating. It's a culture thing reinforced by a very effective marketing campaign across decades. Kind of the same reason why public transportation takes a back seat to urban sprawl. Also freedom.

In the 70s (1974 I think?) there was a NRA meeting and election for new leadership (the meeting was in Cincinnati) The gun manufacturers came in with a shitload of money, some hand picked candidates, and a bloc of temporary voting members. Their selected slate won everything, and the NRA started its change to its modern form Capitalism works!

Uh voting is a fundamental human right and There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a few safeties in place so people that buy guns fully understand and respect the fact that they own a tool designed to kill. edit: WC strikes again.

I imagine the GOP establishment doesn't want to go down that road at all. Going after the president for sketchy poo poo like that just sets a bad precedent. One side does it and all the other side does is wait for the roles to reverse so they can do the same. The crazy wing might but they'd be perfectly content ruling over a pile of ash so long as they rule.
