Is it me or did the imagery there seem to take away from the intended message? Like, this seemed like the kind of speech you'd have the prez sitting at the oval office desk looking directly into the camera over, instead of on stage backlit with guards behind etc. Ultimately the speech on reading it seemed pretty good, but saying that in sort of the more menacing imagery / context seems like the message is less 'unity first heres the threat to this unity' and more 'here is a threat don't be on this side' kinda deal. It's a small thing but given that the imagery is already being latched onto heavily by the detractors I can't help but wonder what the imagery added to the speech in any positive way.

It was a red/white/blue backdrop but the close in shots only showed the red. And it wouldn't have mattered regardless. I understand all this too. But again, what positive did the imagery give the speech? Seemed silly more than "tough" or whatever, I cant really tell what they were going for.

That's more or less my read on him as well. Plus his style of humor is always going to go right up to the line on things so he seems to get p mad about backlash and "cancelling" which makes you kind if reflexively think chud, but it's coming from a different place.

Stultus Maximus posted:Really? I frequently read about how the California big city exurbs have been expanding into wildfire zones and how this is a terrible idea. Probably just confirmation bias on my part then. I've literally heard my entire life that I shouldn't live where I lived (South Louisiana) just before/during/after every major storm despite people living in those areas for >300 years but have heard little / nothing about why we shouldn't rebuild other areas after disasters. It's annoying, especially considering how much of the US population lives within a few miles of an ocean coastline. e: totally agree at some point it is unsustainable and going to fail or require a works program to protect them that we do not have the national will/skill/capital to pull off anymore.

M_Gargantua posted:Its not *any* coastline, or *any* california wildfire zone. Its the new ones that are swamps or eucalyptus forests. We have 100 years of modern data about places we've expanded to in the last few decades that never should have been zoned for construction. We continue to expand our suburbs and vacation locations into as yet unbuilt areas and there is a reason people hadn't lived there in mass for >300 years and left them undeveloped! Yet the insurance structure continues to reward rich landowners for doing so rather than going to help the normal citizens of the area. Yeah and none of this applies to South Louisiana which I was referring to (and AoD probably since they are also from round there) which has been inhabited by colonials since 1718 and natives prior to ~500 BCE. Anyways I think we all agree its a huge problem but the "people shouldn't live in place X" arguments are tiresome every hurricane event when they get trotted out.

Cugel the Clever posted:lol, unironically yes, except this is more of a "lay off literally living in the Chick-fil-A deep fryer and raving about how it's others' responsibility to pay for the consequences". Too many people pay heated lip service to stopping and adapting to climate change, but balk like obstinate toddlers at the idea that their own lives might have to change, even if just as a downstream effect of reining in the worst polluters. I'm sure the survivors families (who all have the agency and ability to affect the changes that are necessary and the financial and political means to do so) will be properly chastised. Because of course as we all know, climate disaster does not disproportionately affect those in poverty with little / no means to prevent these occurrences.

Grip it and rip it posted:As someone who lived in a community that was wrecked by climate change, it's not an uplifting topic to bandy about. After Katrina the number of big brain think pieces that suggested rebuilding because "idiots" built the city "below sea level" was pretty sizeable. Its was lovely and revealing to see the kind of attitudes presented when rebuilding NO was brought up VS. Rebuilding NYC. The people who ultimately lose the most from climate change are the poor. That reality doesn't change in the USA and it doesn't change just because bad parties have found ways to make natural disasters profitable for themselves.

MA-Horus posted:I watched a guy take a knee to the head during a scrum, take 3 steps and fall face first onto the pitch. Full cardiac arrest. Members of the opposing team who were firefighters did CPR until the ambulance (who were at the pitch grounds) managed to bring him back. loving terrifying. All of that is loving terrible. I've played loose forward off and on for about 20 years. Had maybe 6 concussions all during the late 90s in college playing, only had maybe 1 after that at the club level. Clubs at least took it more seriously and would send you off if you got shook up. At the college level it was outright ignored and you were told to just get up and keep going etc. Thankfully I have gotten to mid-40s without anything seeming to be lasting from that. Now knees and shoulders on the other hand... e: I came into rugby from a wrestling / judo background so good tackling form was pretty easy. Most of the concussions I had were someones knee hitting me in the side of the head in a ruck or in a tackle where I was sliding to the ground.
