sexpig by night posted:this episode was great but holy poo poo that DNC resignation letter thing being harped on was so annoying. It's super common for this stuff to go down and the only thing Perez did was kinda bump the time frame up more instead of dragging it out. All those lanyard retards knew 100% that this was coming. I kinda had the same problem. The party does enough stupid poo poo that zeroing in on meaningless stuff like this at length is grating to listen to. At a certain point it's less about the many real and legitimate criticisms and more about ax grinding

like 90% of podcasts feature the hosts reading ad copy for a significant chunk of the show's runtime. chapo is the exception since most shows don't have a huge patreon subscriber base

i actually think he's probably telling the truth and it's 100x funnier that what happened is also so completely unbelievable and ridiculous and he feels like he's stuck trying to convince people it's true also, our (adult) sons

centrists/liberals do and say a lot of dumb poo poo but seeing a lot of socdems who are not really all that radical in the grand scheme of things posture about their self-perceived superiority is kinda dispiriting. unless you are trying to violently overthrow the government you're going to need persuade a lot of them to join our side and not necessarily dunk on them at every opportunity

Joementum posted:TIL there are multiple people on the edge of cancelling their subscriptions because Matt Taibbi was on episode three seems like a fair amount of people have made the leap from "mark ames wrote about some creepy/awful poo poo that he and matt supposedly did 20 years ago but it's not clear whether or not it's fake or exaggerated" to "matt taibbi is a serial rapist"

Mr. Lobe posted:I don't know much about Taibbi himself, but he was perfectly fine being buddy buddy with Ames and writing in the same publications where Ames describes the vaginal tightness of a 15 year old sex worker and threatening to kill a woman in order to coerce her into getting an abortion. As far as I'm concerned Ames is an irredeemable scumbag, and it reflects poorly on Taibbi to have associated and worked with him uncritically. fwiw taibbi stopped talking to ames years ago and seems vaguely embarrassed by that phase of his career

suffice to say, he should own up to exactly what he did in russia (probably some bad poo poo but it's not 100% clear what is true and what is bullshit made up by Ames) but maybe it's a stretch to immediately condemn him as a "serial rapist"

he also said he was binge listening to chapo right after November '16 so i'm willing to chalk up his weird earnest desire to latch onto different random viewpoints to his having experienced a really horrible personal loss plus a loving brain-bender of an election within a few months of each other

their patreon indicates $1.2 million a year, which, assuming they're splitting it equally 6 ways, is around $193k a year per person after Patreon's 5% cut and before taxes, etc., i.e., doing pretty well even by NYC standards, but not exactly in pro athlete or hedge fund manager territory. excessive wealth accumulation is of course disgusting but the left does itself no favors with its poorer-than-thou reverse dick measuring contests as a measure of individual piety

come to think of it, it's probably going through some kind of business/LLC setup with each partner getting a certain salary out of that, so the tax structure for each person is probably totally different than just 1/6 of the total patreon take. i don't really know jack poo poo about taxes beyond basic self-employment stuff so take my thoughts with a grain of salt

AOC most likely doesn’t actually think that John McCain is a good person, nobody’s opinion is remotely influenced by her saying so, and there is literally no upside to her not praising him apart from denying extremely online leftists’ emotional gratification

Biomute posted:Having integrity or principles is bad folks; moral relativism is great and we should never expect anything from politicians. In fact, we should be patting them on the back for being so good at "playing the game". hmm yes having integrity and principles about substantive political issues is of equal weight and importance to not saying a dead guy was good when he was actually bad every politician says poo poo they don’t 100% mean for politically expedient reasons all the time, even the “good ones” with the right stances on stuff. if that’s your standard for supporting someone you’re going to be disappointed by even the most hopeless protest candidates who are just as often as full of poo poo as the rest

Penisaurus Sex posted:What if, and stay with me here, Democrats (that is, national level Democratic Party leaders and representatives) don't have any desire to push for broad socially redistributive policies? Crazy but what if the monied interests that both finance their campaigns, and provide them with patronage throughout their life, do more to influence their ideology than the constituent base they ostensibly represent? This hypothetical party would not be the party of the majority of its constituency, but represent a minority of its constituency in urban cosmopolitan socially liberal capital. yeah, I know, Kevin Drum, but he's right on this: quote:Less excusable is French’s contention that Obamacare was passed via reconciliation. It wasn’t. It was passed in the Senate under regular order, by a vote of 60-39 on December 24, 2009. Later, after Democrats lost their supermajority in the Senate, the House passed the Senate bill and then passed a second bill that implemented a few modest increases to subsidy levels and taxes. None of them were critical to the overall bill, but the Senate agreed to support these changes. These small, nonessential adjustments are the only part of Obamacare that was passed via reconciliation.

anna has a lot of lovely opinions but she is more or less some version of socialist with a contrarian/edgelord streak that makes for mindlessly entertaining podcasts, not even close to fascist imo in a previous job i had direct experience with a case where a mentally ill mother coached her young child to accuse her father of molestation, so i'm more sympathetic to their woody allen take than most, i guess

crepeface posted:i mean you address teachers as sensei, but you wouldn't say their occupation is a sensei.... i think.... IIRC teachers and doctors are commonly referred to as "sensei" as both a job description and honorific title, but it's frowned upon to refer to oneself as "sensei" similar to how a judge or someone like that wouldn't normally refer to themselves as "the honorable...". There are non-sensei words one can use to refer to themselves as doctor, teacher, etc. source: lived in japan teaching english for two years like a decade ago

bobjr posted:On problem I’m not seeing addressed enough is so many people get insurance through their employer, and now with so many people losing jobs they lose that insurance as well. If you quit, get laid off or fired, it's a qualifying event that lets you sign up outside the normal enrollment period for either premium-subsidized ACA coverage -- or Medicaid if you're in an expansion state. Yes, the ACA is poo poo, but we should spread the word so that people who don't realize they can get insurance (relatively) cheap or free can do so ASAP with little to no gap in coverage.

Y Age difference less than or equal to three years? N Both 25 or older? N that means a 24 year old dating a 28 year old (both over 18, 4 year age gap, one is not over 25) is "minor-coded" and therefore pedophilia edit: ok fine it's not specifically about erotic fanfic, but there is significant overlap between it and shipping SousaphoneColossus fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Aug 11, 2020 |
