That Works posted:I wonder how much of this is playing out all around the country. I expect lots and for it to increase in tempo before the midterms and the next presidential. This is how a lot of the last Republican Revolution happened. Get their wackos into positions that anyone with a life pays no attention to and work on controlling things through the ground up. Except last time Newt's PAC had to send out cassettes so that candidates for BFE Zoning Commissioner could listen in their car and deliver the Official National Message everywhere and at all levels next week. Now they can change it daily. Look around at boring/lame elected positions in your area and run, especially if you're in a small town, and especially if it's the kind of place where republicans run unopposed. At least make them fight for it, and if you think you're not qualified for the job, so what, neither is the right-wing shithead running. He's just using it to spread bullshit and look toward moving up in the next election.

Defenestrategy posted:Sorry friend, Until or unless Democrats get voting rights reform passed, Biden signs it, and the supreme court doesn't toss it Georgia is a lost cause at this point unless you wanna run for a mayor/position in basically a 99% democrat area such as City of Atlanta. BTW, it's bad enough here that the local Democratic party is mass texting its donor rolls with "Thinking of running for office? Join our webinar to learn how to do it. We can't let Republicans run unopposed"

Milo and POTUS posted:This is nice and all but it's pretty much too little too late. They should have been harping on it for 30-40 years now. It's legit funny how much they've hosed the dog on the matter Edit: BTW, my local Dem party is run by a passive aggressive septuigenarian that doesn't like anyone under 60 and finds racial integration to be progressive. So thats helpful too. stealie72 fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Dec 9, 2021 |

So...did the art department deliberately make this a Third Reich portrait? The nazi hair is on him, but everything else is their call.

Human brains are dumb as poo poo though. "I know this guy who got a vax and then [bad thing]" sticks in our primate brain much better than an entire page of statistical calculations. Basically "one death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic" is how we think. This is like the tip of the iceberg on this, but I'm doing 10 things right now: https://blog.rewardian.com/blog/2016/09/21/data-told-as-a-story-is-more-memorable-than-on-its-own-research-finds No idea what Rewardian is, but Chip Heath is a known researcher of this stuff. I use his ideas/work in fundraising all the time. Tell stories, then give numbers that back them up, basically. Edit: Also, relatability is huge. The more someone is like you or known to you, the more you will believe what they say. So "my coworker's brother" that had a 1/1 million shot thing happen is more relatable to you than the 40 year old widow on TV in tears begging everyone to get vaxed because she just watched her husband die. Our brains are dumb, and nowhere near as logical as we'd like to think they are. stealie72 fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Dec 14, 2021 |

Stringing along car chat: Unless I'm super bad at converting from Rupees, a nice Tata Punch mini-SUV will run you $7-8k USD: https://cars.tatamotors.com/suv/punch Assuming some more stringent safety standards in the US, even if they double the price, it will be in the 15k range. I look at the small cars/trucks available in other countries and get depressed that a 25k mazda 3 is considered on the small and cheap side in the US.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:If your car doesn't have every single gadget possible you're less of a man/woman/porpoise than you should be and that's bad. Not including that, I've owned 8 cars over my lifetime and my favorite was an 07 element because it was new enough to have modern safety and reliability baked into it, but old enough that it didn't have $5k worth of infotainment bullshit in it or a touch screen heating fan control. Sadly, had to get rid of it once I had 3 kids that needed to be driven around since it only had a 2 seatbelt back seat. I would absofuckinglutely adore a simple rear end 2022 car that keeps all the modern mechanical stuff but has a 1990s heating/cooling system and radio.
