Steel Mills lobbied Trump to put the tariffs in. They are lobbying Biden to keep them in (and Biden has so far). And, I know our company keeps touting them as a boon for our plants.

There may be a misunderstanding of what an above ground pool is here.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/3/0/AAeolZAAD0nK.jpg

That's a fake above ground pool.

Anyways, you can submit to me one post of questions by 2pm EST that you want answered and I will answer them all. You can submit your questions to Jakyl who can then provide the master list of questions to me lol.

Until then, Tales of Arise.

If its an above ground pool, thats a fairly common thing for working class people

It's above ground and I probably wouldn't have it if it didn't come with the house lol

The thing is that most of the people voting Republican aren't willing to listen except to people who affirm their beliefs. They're okay with fascism, and I don't see how I could ever hang out with someone who's okay with fascism. It's like someone said: If you have 10 people at a table, and a Nazi sits down and everyone continues engaging with him, you've got 11 Nazi's.

People who are worth engaging are those who have given up on the Republican party. Because they reject fascism. They see the party for what it is. I feel like that's a pretty reasonable explanation given that many former Republicans have given up on the party.

Sounds like the Nazi is better at explaining his stances and points then. Lol. Maybe you should learn how to engage and have discussion like that Nazi then. Converting 10 different people of other ideologies to their stance is actually quite impressive.

Almost everyone has somewhere they are coming from in their stances. It's seeing where they are coming from and trying to make them see why another way is better that is the winning ticket. Just because you feel your way is better does not mean you actually do or they will agree your way is better.

I guess my question for Corrik is: what policies of the Democrats are SO bad that you think it's better to empower the people who are STILL running on the same platform that got you to vote against Trump in 2020 (and apparently against Mastriano now)? I mean, you can rightfully think Trump and Mastriano are insane assholes, unfit for public office...but let's be clear...the ENTIRE GOP either is onboard with their same politics, or is at least willing to compromise their beliefs to empower those people, so long as they hold power.

Mastriano is worse than everyone you named. He may... idk. This is a big may because I literally hate this guy... may be worse than even Ted Cruz. And that's saying something. I'd literally vote for Hillary over Cruz. Jesus. I feel completely sick even thinking about it.

I don't really have time to go down the rabbit hole right now. My stances remain pretty much unchanged though from before. We need good Republicans and to get rid of idiots like Mastriano who drive me away from the party... or the party away from me moreso.

Trumps policies on paper were fine. His behavior is another story.

Jakyl25 posted...

Corrik what are some current Republican ideals you agree with?

We gonna rehash the same things again. We already know where I stand. If you didn't want a barometer on PA moderate Republicans voting this election, so be it.

We aren't gonna have the same conversation a 20th time though.

Shapiro > Mastriano
Oz > Fetterman

Shapiro will landslide win. Oz will be closer I am sure. Oz had alienated some people like me initially and the other candidate likely was a lot better that lost in the primary, but Fetterman has made an Oz vote look not so bad anymore. It always interested me reading the articles asking if Fetterman could just troll and shitpost his way to the Senate over social media. After last night, idk. He should let Snooki keep talking for him.

And this is going to be a bigger problem if Republicans ever become less crazy. Im pretty lib right (If you couldnt tell from my love for masturbatoriums apparently)

Ive been voting straight D because Republicans have gone full on Fascist authoritarian but if the day comes where the fascist wing dies off I could see being cool not hanging out in such an exclusive club. Democrats are playing with serious fire acting like anyone who disagrees is beneath them, and that isnt exclusive to this topic. My arguments with republicans are a million times dumber, but my arguments with hard line democrats have much more frequently ended with personal attacks against me despite me being way closer to their point of view.

Had one zealot say I was in favor of child murder because I brought up that closing schools had terrible effects on poor kids without reliable internet during the pandemic

At least a lot of them stopped with the if you don't support me you are a racist shtick. God that was annoying.

Now if we could get the religious folk to stop with the murderer stuff on abortion also... lolol.

Literally just said I was voting for another Democrat this election. Lol. You guys are wild sometimes.

If both candidates suck, I am erring on the side of the party my values mostly align with.

If you run Trump vs Hillary in 2024, I am voting Trump.

And I say that as someone who thinks Trump and DeSantis both suck.

People acting surprised when I told you Biden would be my first D>R in 2020. The scoffing and talking down to people who are willing to crossover vote for your team... sorry "side"... is exactly what tends to drive potential voters away from you and also makes them no longer listen to your points.

I am a very slightly moderate conservative. I am probably as centrist as you are going to find in this polarized political world. My core values closer fall onto the republican side with some major crossover in some areas that are major platforms. I tend to vote Republican unless a clearly superior candidate is running due to either an abysmal Republican or a very good Democrat.

This race is two absolutely joke candidates. If I was inclined to not vote at all, this would be a great race to do it in. However, I'll suck it up.

As far as numbers, who cares about numbers right now. Republicans will hold the house. Nothing will pass the rest of bidens term again congressionally. Whether it's a Republican senate or not, doesn't affect this 2 years. None of bidens agenda will pass, and Republicans cannot defeat a veto. Doesn't matter if 52 51 50 49 48 47 46 Republican senators.

common corrik L lol

Not surprising figuring I have voted straight R besides some minor things locally since I could vote except for Biden >Trump last election.

This is likely a straight R ballot besides Shapiro >Mastriano. That dude is fucking wack.

I'll be voting Oz. Frankly, they both suck so the R gets the tiebreaker.

Yeah, you should evaluate as you go. You just have this amazing knack for taking one wrong read and then extrapolating it to a completely wrong read across the board. I don't know if you ever find a scum this game if not for scum scans that basically others wanted to lynch and not yourself initially. You hate uncountered power roles immensely lol

Tag

I would say your weakness is you can't really look at people in a vacuum. You have to base every last read off whatever read you are tunneling to make the game fit perfectly, and if someone doesn't mesh well, you tend to wave it away because it just has to because this is how it all has to fit perfectly.

Many times you say this person has to be scum because this person is also and then you get to what I call your "tinfoil conspiracy theorying" level to make it all perfectly fit. Lol.

And bad play vs scum play is learning to read the player instead of learning to read what you feel is optimal play. Everyone has a wheelhouse of range. The better players have massive ranges and unpredictability. The weaker players can almost be pigeonholed in their tendencies and play.

Read the player more and not what you think the good play is.

I have left a doctor alive the entire game as scum before that was outted. For no other reason than to toy with them lol and frustrate them to the point of being a nonentity. You gotta know what you can do and expect from everyone to read them properly.

Lopen posted...

I mean sometimes I had PMs with the host. But I never actually argued that because whether you believe me or not is a bunch of who cares. I don't actually need anyone's validation-- the more people think I'm bad at mafia the longer I live and the more games I win so I'm okay with the circle jerk early dead crew spreading the rhetoric that I'm terrible at the game.

I still believe the best scum strategy is leaving you alive til the end of time as any role lol.

You have a big flaw in mafia, but you refuse to listen to anyone when they tell you what it is to notice it.

That said, I can never leave you alive as scum now because it's something that I would do haha.

Lopen posted...

That I accept

Thing is I pretty much did it as uninformed observer so I didn't have alignment cheat sheets in front of me.

Doing it in dead chat is much much worse tbh.

You also didn't have anyone who could vouch anything for your "reads" that you assured us you got after the game when all alignments were revealed. So... hmmm

Town deserved to win. Scum had it right there to easily win and didn't do what they needed to do. Very good web of busses. But, no real fire or drive.

Lopen posted...

This is fake. I haven't played much since Discord became a thing. Mostly been scum too.

I remember when I always criticized Lopen for being an observer hero and acting like he was better than everyone. How the tables have turned.

Im pretty sure YoutubeTV doesnt have local sports. Am I mistaken?

I have all local stations. Depends on your market, but I think most local markets are supported.

As far as blackouts, I have never run into a blackout for my local sports teams, but blackout rules are determined by the leagues and teams also so can vary from area to area. You can always use the free trial to test it.

I use uzzu.tv

You get access to every sports game for all major sports. Every NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL game, plus dozens of sports channels, all live. You even can choose between the home/away coverage for MLB and NBA games. All for only $10 a month if you sign up for the 1-year deal.

The caveat is that it is all completely live TV. No ability to pause/rewind or DVR any of it. This limitation is intentional though, because that's what makes it legal. There is apparently a loophole in the law that allows uzzu to share content as long as it coincides with the live airing of the broadcast.

Anyway, it's been a big game changer for me since I ditched cable earlier this year. I was able to finally watch baseball again, and I could even play around and watch the Away broadcast just for kicks if I wanted to. Or watch any other baseball game I wanted to. With the NFL underway, you not only can watch any game you want, but you get access to the Redzone channel. And I am now able to watch my favorite NBA team again.

All of this programming available for one very low fee. You can stream the programming on your smartphone, tablet, or computer, or you can stream it to your tv through the web video caster app.

I highly recommend it to any sports fans who have ditched cable. It's a real game changer.

That doesn't sound legal at all. Just someone's justification to be legal.

Oh okay we had a topic of bickering. Let's go!

So.

Han day 2 I said from dead town chat might have been the BEST I have ever seen Han play. That's how dominant he was being day 2 with his reads.

The ctes lynch was information seeking at best.

Lopen, you thought Sultan would be scum by claiming Vanilla when Sultan was obviously Town Vanilla from within the first 50 posts of the game. Something me and Han quickly picked up on.

Lopen you did a good job on Kirby.

Kirby, that's nonsense. Your team was lazy af. I don't care if you posted memoirs in your scum chat and ran simulations til the end of time. The fact is in the game, you were lazy. If that's the strategy you guys came up with, that's great. But a strategy to be lazy makes yinz lazy.

Your strategy Kirby was sucking up. Your play was off.

Poppys strategy was initially faking what he said he would do as town and then falling by the wayside. He has already admitted his activity wasn't there. The time he did have was to make excuses why he couldn't do more, why he couldn't read, or even taking time to give a definition of a word, instead of using those moments doing anything in game.

Chang was absolutely so absent. His entire play basically reverted to doing very little while trying a hero ball claim. Which I agreed is a good claim. It was just enough nonsensical to seem real, parts verifiable, and risky enough that people would question why he would fake it.

So, yes, in the end the game was fitting. A scum teams strategy to be lazy ended with them trying to hammer a lynch instead of taking the sure win eventually and without them taking the time to even verify votals before doing so.

Perfect ending. 10/10. Lopen shouldn't feel bad. Scum did it to themselves. Wasn't shady. Was just a basic level play. (And honestly, possibly not even an intentional trick).

Kirby321 posted...

I totally disagree with this. My scummates put in a lot of effort into our strategies at nighttime and our gameplans for the day, even Poppy.

Sure, we weren't active and vocal in the days, but that's strategic and not done out of laziness.

The strategy of being lazy doesn't make it not lazy.

Chang's claim was good. His play was bad throughout the game and atrocious day 1. I told you guys to get his claim then and destroyed his nonsensical argument against me. And you all were like... mehhhh let's go kill a random person!

The scum team in general moreso spent more time saying why they couldn't play the game than actually making comments about the game. Poppy and Chang was blatant with it. Kirby did a lot of sucking up the entire game as well.

Ben I thought played decent besides that LOL claim.

That said, Chang's claim could have been good enough to win, and it likely would have... because town refused to even look at him or go back at him.

I think Scum deserved the loss though because they lost the same way they played. Lazy. Kirby was the sole person I felt that put effort in and Lopen unfortunately nailed him (granted with a slight leap in logic that hit the mark hard).

Corrik lets not go there.

Maybe its necessary. Maybe expectations of what is normal in an game for fun is off or something. Look how many people in a single game said they couldn't handle it.

Youtube tv

They may have a new user sign up bonus of like $10 off for a month or so, but generally the rate is the rate. HuluTV you can get all the disney+ and ESPN+ and regular Hulu with it tho.

I don't understand how some of you even play monopoly sometimes. If we weren't motherfucking each other and talking shit while playing madden and golden eye as kids, were we even playing the game?

Like, get a hold of yourself.

The game is to find liars. Literally the point of the game is to either lie or find out who else is lying. You shouldn't be upset for people accusing you of deception, obfuscation, or degrading your arguments. It is the POINT of the game.

If you can't handle that, you probably got some issues of some sort lol. It's for fun. The fact we even have to play with kiddie gloves and nice rules is silly enough, and people can't handle it with those also? Come on now! Understand the context of the game you are playing. It's fine.

No problem with self-voting if in an angle that is playing to win. Also, nothing wrong with that trick. Scum got greedy and careless.

Lol

I really wanted scum to think I was day cop and just kill me but that didn't happen

You were literally obviously town vanilla from page 1 of topic 1.

Mafia is back in retirement. See you all again in 5 years.

Like 5 people said they are done playing after this game.

This is why we don't let death host.

Blundering Town beats competent Scum team with the oldest trick in the book. Lmfao.

Give us who paid them off a tax credit. = (

I don't have a problem with people who were trying to pay them off getting it paid for them. It's those who absolutely refused to even try to repay them getting it paid for them that irks me.

I don't see how one would possess wildlife unlawfully in a fishing tournament?

It's probably against the law to tamper with wildlife in the way they did.

Due to the complexity of the situation it is not strictly a slur, but nevertheless my friend is probably not being fully honest in saying that he "knows several trans women" that call themselves traps.

He can be 100% honest and it could still be definitely a slur.

Looks to be offensive if used to a transgender person from what I read.

Man, everyone who said we need to give the cops more money so they can afford cameras and then they'll behave was so full of shit. I mean, we knew that at the time, but it gets more obvious every day.

Cop claims that a driver does not have the right to roll their window up if they're driving when a cop is nearby, and anyone filming the incident will also be tackled, arrested, pepper sprayed, and have their phone taken from them.

Edit - so this is from last year and both officers were moved to a different town's force, and the guy who got pepper sprayed got paid by the city with taxpayer $.

Nobody said they would necessarily behave. They said they would be able to be held accountable for when they do something wrong.
