Honestly Democrats are just an opposition party that does not have to nor want to be effectual because that would get rid of the real goal of them enriching themselves and their friends. For all that we talk about the right wing having such a good amount of grift the Democrats are the real Major leagues on that one. If you look at the big societal changes that have happened in our lifetimes or the previous generations nearly all of them were fought against tooth and nail until well after they became majorly popular in polling, so expecting the Democrats to have some sort of ethical drive to do anything better than the status quo feels fairly nonsensical. Even now majority popular policies are barely discussed because there is still likely too much profit in their opposition.

It's a bit of a Sophie's choice. Voting for Trump has no definite upsides but might lead to an actual functional progressive movement, but at extreme risk and quantifiable loss and IMO never worth the risk by any means. Voting for Biden has some upsides compared to Trump 2nd term but is also probably the best way to ensure elimination of a functional progressive movement for another 4-8 years. So yeah you're left with "things aren't as bad as they can get but the chances of them getting better are not any greater and might be worse".

Yeah it’d be great if he was more critical of his involvement with Bellingcat but to his credit he’s one of the few leftist voices that seems to also be in that niche of mainstream enough to hook liberals and progressives to engage more with actual leftist content. Big same.

It's hosed up and disgusting. If you made a video showing the violent death of someone who looked like your coworker and shared it at work you'd be fired with cause immediately. If you were a student and showed it at school you'd get suspended / likely expelled and be on a watch list and have the police escort you out and investigate. If youre a congressman you pick up a few votes, get some interview time and get to tell people "relax its just a joke".

How do you expect a redder legislature to have that effect when it is already clear that they will not face judicial reprisal, and also how is this vague fear more significant than, again, the actual shootings OP was convinced were secondary to democrats' electoral defeat? Are you just here to try to start an argument with everyone that doesn't express their thoughts on the matter that are perfectly in agreement with yours?

Not gonna lie all the takes of "well legally this is actually consistent and the verdict is correct" while all ignoring the greater context of why a 17 year old was running around the streets during a riot with an AR15 in the first place really comes off as some "actually its ephebophilia" poo poo. I can't possibly give a gently caress with the logical decorum was perfectly preserved and the sanctity of the law upheld when the system backing it is a turd in the 1st place.

Bulky Bartokomous posted:Well, that's fair. As soon as you find a better system let me know. I'm not being snarky, I'm being serious. What is a better alternative to the rule of law? It sure sounds like you're advocating for mob rule, which is great if you're on the right side of the mob. For leftists, minorities, the poor, women, etc you're already on the wrong side of the mob or whatever you want to call the legal system at present. Rule of law isn't really a thing when it only applies to selected groups / individuals. Anyway, there is no need (for me at least) to discuss this further itt.

Yeah because if you grew up in the 80s you generally realistically thought that it was a 50/50 proposition that humanity wouldn't even exist beyond whatever imminent nuclear conflict would flare up. It's a little easier to internalize something like that actually happening versus climate change where it might be quick it might be slow we're not really sure how it's actually going to manifest and in what direct ways. Whereas you know mushroom clouds nuclear winter all that stuff I think we had a pretty good idea of how that was going to go.

I'll happily recommend a Prius Prime to anyone. With the 2017 and later versions the battery range is up to about 20mi full electric. For me this means my entire daily commute and back are electric and I can charge it at home. Once you're off electric you're running at around 50mpg. Right now my average MPG since I got the car in June is 118mpg. Pretty good if you can get it. They aren't even too overpriced or anything and they are comfortable for even larger people. I am 6' and have no issues at all with head / leg room.

A Bad Poster posted:These are great, but missing what I would call a climate controlled interior. I would also be completely unable to leave this city, and commuting to work on a bike would be suicide. I also have a problem with e-bikes on a fundamental level. It's a bike, you don't need electricity to run it, just get your exercise in. Now, if we replaced a bunch of courier vans and stuff with those, I'd be down with that. I bike commuted in Boston for 5-6 years. I did tons of long distance cycling before and during that as well for fun/exercise. An electric bike would be great if I worked in an office etc. Biking is way faster than local transit in many situations but much of the year gets you sweaty / necessitates having to shower at work or bring an extra set of clothes etc. An electric bike gets rid of a lot of that. If they were a little cheaper I could start commuting in on one now even in my more rural commute setting I have these days.

pantslesswithwolves posted:So for those of you scienticians who know how to speak Science- what does this functionally mean? Is it just the sheer number of mutations that’s bad or are people starting to figure out what their impact could be ahead of any formal findings by CDC or WHO? It means that something happened to make this initial strain hypermutable. There's not really tons more to be scared about vs what we already have tbh. The likelihood that all of these mutations contribute positively to virulence is unlikely, most of them are probably doing little to alter the virulence or the antigenicity (how well your antibodies against it now differ from it). ded posted:It is mutating extremely rapidly and is both becoming more virulent and deadly in many cases of the mutations. Where are you seeing that it is more virulent and more deadly?

ded posted:2nd hand from what my wife has experienced at her hospital while treating covid patients It's not in the USA yet from any source I've seen so far. Looking more into it its ability to spread seems significantly greater than Delta, beyond that though (whether or not its more virulent or lethal) doesn't seem to be known. Would be a lucky break (and not entirely improbable) that it would be a less virulent but easier to spread infection (think more like measles in terms of spread and virulence). If that's the case then hurry it up.
