Lol stfu. If someone assaults you in these situations you have every right to defend yourself. The people who need to seek help are the ones touching these protesters.

My apologies, I think we're on the same side here. I thought you were arguing that the lady speaking up was the "blue haired" in this situation.

Just a misunderstanding, my bad.

Sure but that's why she's better than me cuz I definitely could not roll with that. Same with road protests. If some asshole steps out of his car and lays his hands on me his face is hitting concrete.

You seem level headed and well adjusted.

Seek help.

Also, why is she a "blue haired"?

Romney at the very least is moderate compared to the insane part of his party (which seems to be most of it, nowadays).

He votes in unison with those same insane people and only talks like he's above it. He's one in the same.

Does Hasan actually pull a lot of people away from the right, or do people just extrapolate that from the fact he's successful in an area that's more dominated by reactionaries? That always seems like such a vague claim that's hard to prove.

Do you believe that if a person with no political opinions (or already leaning right) started watching Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, Steven Crowder, or Tim Pool, that they might pushed into Conservative ideology?

If yes, then obviously the opposite would be true.

If no, then you just don't believe that people can have their opinion swayed which is just objectively incorrect.

not to mention he joined in the writer's strike

sure he got content out of it, but he actually did it

I think the problem is that he's being held to some standard where he is supposed to be this beacon of leftist activism in every single thing that he does.

From what he's said, he really just wants to be a leftist voice that entertains people. If you're going to him for deep leftist theory, you're going to be disappointed. If you're going to him to just watch some educational content with someone that has a leftist viewpoint, then you're in the right place.

The Hasan hate is always really weird to me.

Like to me, Hasan acts as a decent entrance into leftist politics. He can be very good at normalizing leftist positions and pulling people out from dumbass conservative takes. He serves a good purpose.

Sure, he has some dumb takes from time to time, but he also has great takes. You don't have to agree with everything that anyone has ever said, and he's certainly not above criticism, but criticizing him for owning a house and cars is really dumb.

If people really cared at all, the amount he's helped raise for Ukraine/Planned Parenthood/Palestinian/Labor causes should be commended but instead people will try to hypocrisy bait as much as they possibly can with him.

It's odd behavior but whatever, to each their own.

Congrats. In the process of selling my house. 12 hours after mine hit the market I had someone offer full price no inspection/appraisal. They hadn't actually seen the house yet which I guess is technically illegal to accept that offer?

Anyways, we have an open house today on it, so we're hoping there's other interest as well to potentially start some other bids over asking price, but either way I should be selling mine by the end of today/tomorrow as well.

Im more worried about China wanting to Invade Israel soon

This reads like someone who just reads fear mongering headlines from the worst news sites you've ever heard of.

You won't find a single post of me suggesting that anywhere, but most certainly not in this topic. So don't jump to illogical conclusions for no reason.

That's fine and fair, but what's the point in posting "Because not a single American president is about to change it."?

Bandit_Keith posted...

Fixed that for you. Because not a single American president is about to change it. Certainly not anyone that has any realistic chance of winning in 2024.

So we should do nothing and definitely not push for change even if it is pointless.

Or we could just be anti-genocide.

The thing is, she isn't against genocide in general. Just genocide in Palestine. If the same we're happening to Israel, they wouldn't have an issue.

Source?

Besides your ass of course.

I don't have a steam deck, but shouldn't it be easy to hotswap the SD card? if so, I'd just get the 512gb and another if needed later. I think the 512gb Samsung MicroSD is on sale on Amazon now for like $25 too.

.

Yes. This is what I did for mine.
