Neo-nazism and white supremacy are not different viewpoints nor are they valid ones. Ever.


They're entirely valid for lots of people who believe in that kind of stuff. You don't think sitting down and talking with one of them would be beneficial to see why they have those specific viewpoints?

Same with when psychologists sit down to interview serial killers and murderers. We gain insight through talking to those with fucked up viewpoints.

Being willing to chat with neo Nazis with an open mind is neither progressive nor admirable


Refusing to sit down and talk with someone with different viewpoints is what actually prevents progression in society though.

30 minutes in the morning. I live in downtown Houston and commute to the suburbs for work. Always going against the flow of traffic. Sometimes on the way home there will be traffic. Max will be like 45-50 minutes in heavier traffic. Not terrible!

I just listen to music/podcasts and enjoy the ride home.

People describing him as "alt right" must be trolling, or have never actually sat down and listened to some of his podcasts. He's a liberal leaning dude who has some central viewpoints, but since he challenges some stuff the extreme left believes, everyone here labels him "alt right"? Jesus. Not even close to being alt right.

"Woke" liberals just love to through around labels to try and discredit viewpoints they don't agree with, and it's hilarious to me. Real progressivism looks like Joe, who's willing to sit down and chat with anyone with an open mind. Labeling him alt right couldn't be farther from the truth.

Again, statistics is about probability and error. Trump got lucky within the margins.


He was way outside the margin of error though. What are you talking about? The polls from 2016 were blatantly wrong. Which is why his win was a MAJOR shock to everyone. If he was within the margin of error, there wouldn't have been hundreds of articles claiming that Hillary had the election in bags for weeks before the polls opened.

Biden's leading because he's safe to seniors and doesn't base all his rhetoric on what he sees in social media.

Not saying he's my choice, but that's how it is. Not everyone lives in an online bubble.


Biden is literally senile. Watch the videos from his rallies the last few months. Biden can't even keep track of what state he's in...his mind is gone. He's got good intentions, but honestly I'm seeing early signs of dementia.

Yeahhhhh....I don't believe that. Honestly, I don't trust any polls anymore. And I don't think we should be relying on polls to see who we like or support for the democratic candidate.

2020 will be interesting. I don't see Biden winning the nomination at all. I think it'll either be Bernie, or Buttigieg. But us young people just have to VOTE. Biden is old and senile. Bernie is old, but is 100% correct on calling out all the corruption from money in Washington.

Welcome to the elite, my friend. Glad your eyes have been opened.

Nespresso process takes about 60 seconds from "press button" to "espresso has been consumed" - it's perfect for people like me in the morning who want to maximize sleep. Instead of spending a few minutes waiting for the brew, waiting for it to cool down, and drinking a lot more liquid by comparison, this is just like, boom wait 20 seconds for it to boot up, 20 seconds to brew, and 20 seconds to swirl it around a bit to cool it off before taking it like a shot and being done.

Idk if the Vertuo line is like that, I have the original, but I imagine it's similar for you.

The only "criticism" I have is that the pods basically have to be ordered online, as they can only be bought a la carte as a nespresso boutique, and the only one near me is at the Mall of America, so I ain't going through all that just for some coffee. Their shipping is usually like 3 business days tops anyways and it's always free for some reason. Think it's because I usually order months at a time and the threshold is like $50 or something.


You take the drinks like a shot...? Why?

The Whole Foods next to my house has nespresso pods but just the original ones sadly. But amazon prime now has same day delivery so its not a big deal I cant find em in stores anyways

Amazon had the Vertuo on sale a few days ago. Can make espresso and actual coffee. And the pods are incredible. Way better quality than any K-cup Ive ever had.

It still wont replace my Chemex for best coffee, but when I wake up late this will be perfect. The milk frother is super easy to use too. Made a super nice cinnamon cappuccino this morning. Delicious.

She made this long post(a few paragraphs) about how she matched with this guy on Bumble, and they made plans to hang out that night. She explains that he messaged her a few hours before saying he was stuck at work later, and that they might have to meet a bit later that night or reschedule.

She didnt hear back from him for a bit, but assumed they were still on to meet that night. But as she was getting ready and putting make up on, he just straight up unmatched her without saying a word.

The last part of her status was saying about how men are pigs, but none of it was really offensive honestly. Just typical feminist post.

Later that night she revealed that Facebook actually removed her post for offensive content. Thats CRAZY to me that FB is censoring that much. Not a good sign of things to come.

Why is Facebook monitoring that type of content in the first place?
