So if hate for Susan Collins is mostly because she's further to the right than expected for someone from her state, why doesn't this topic adore Joe Manchin (who is similarly further left than his state)?

For what it's worth, most countries that allow abortion limit it to the first trimester (around 12 or 13 weeks) unless there's a serious medical issue involved. I'd be pretty much fine with America doing the same thing if we also got rid of all the arbitrary laws designed to make actually getting an abortion so time-consuming and expensive.

Misspoke

OK, but if the Democrats don't have a supermajority then they can't fix the problem without GOP support anyway. As they aren't going to get that, it kind of goes against your "this is all 100% because of the stupid Democrats" idea.

Pretty much every track ranges from Above Average to "Best Track Ever"

Hey, Sonic Oval is only average at best.

(Also Slim Line Slits is evil and stupid, but I'll admit that's more just me sucking at the game.)

If the policy elites wanted us to stay in Afghanistan, maybe they should have come up with some kind of purpose for us to do so. As far as I can tell, their plan for foreign affairs is to have the military everywhere forever to do (stuff?) because (something?). What do they even want?

What there was was an increase in people reporting financial hardship.

Well why don't they just get jobs? It's so easy! And don't point out the actual reasons, I just want to feel superior to the poor (who really shouldn't even count as human).

Pete Buttigieg is a strong candidate whether this upsets you or not

Elizabeth Warren isn't quite too old to run yet

Cory Booker might seem like an also-ran but remains pretty popular overall

Beto O'Rourke could make another run at being America's new darling

Stacey Abrams could be an interesting candidate if she has Presidential ambitions

There are various other names that don't yet have a lot of national cache but all it would take is one strong campaign to put them there (just look at Buttigieg)

And if you don't like any of these people, you can always join me in supporting Jay Inslee! I absolutely swear to you that the guy is alright

No he isn't, she's too old, meh, not happening, she's never won a real election.

Inslee would be pretty great, though.

Good call, I'd like to see more of his. I've seen Castle in the Sky that he produced and apparently he did musical werk on Kiki's Delivery Service. I've meant to watch Anne of Green Gables [Akage no An] and Dog of Flanders.

Specific recs? Anything I should not miss?

Ghibli films: Tale of the Princess Kaguya, Grave of the Fireflies, and Only Yesterday are all must-watch. Pom Poko isn't quite as good as those three, but it's a lot better than it's reputation and definitely worth watching if you're into Takahata. You should probably skip My Neighbors the Yamadas unless you're a completionist.

Pre-Ghibli work: Anne of Green Gables is the best of Takahata's TV series and just an amazing show in general. As for his pre-Ghibli films, they tend to be interesting because they feel like prototypes for various kinds of movies Ghibli would eventually make. Horus Prince of the Sun (Miyazaki-esque action/adventure), Panda Go Panda (Miyazaki-esque light-hearted slice-of-life) are both fun watches in that regard.

Was there ever really a potential path to victory in Afghanistan for Obama or Trump? After Iraq, I don't think the public would have ever supported increasing US presence enough to change the outcome.

Watched 3.0+1.0. No spoilers, just opinions:

Well, I'm convinced. I'll watch the new one now. Eventually, at some point when I have some extra time and after I rewatch the other three. I've never been that into the Rebuilds, but I'm just glad it's not another disappointment like 3.0.

Chris sort of has a decent point here. The government doesn't have unlimited resources, and fixing Afghanistan would be incredibly expensive. It's not literally "Save Afghanistan vs. US Healthcare", but staying in Afghanistan and seriously trying to win would rule out basically any other new spending on other priorities.

Probably gonna regret jumping in here, but I'll say it: the withdrawal is a huge mistake that will lead to a massive humanitarian disaster.

So when would it be fine for the US to leave Afghanistan? There's been virtually no progress towards a functioning non-Taliban government in the 20 years we've spent there so far, and there's no obvious path leading to one now. What's the alternative to leaving? Should the US just stay there and lose slowly because it doesn't look as bad that way? Or should we throw tons of money and manpower into a true military occupation and govern Afghanistan ourselves?

Kiki > Totoro > Spirited Away imo

Regarding whether Spirited Away is the defacto number one: It totally is, but if you really want to make the question interesting you should take out Princess Mononoke too. At least on B8, there are huge popularity gaps between Spirited, Mononoke, and everything else.
