Replacing a hardline originalist like Scalia with a regular conservative like Gorsuch over a diehard moderate like Garland is not only worth admitting to sacrificing your ethics, but one of the most consequential political events of our lifetime??

Yes. A 5-4 conservative majority with Kennedy was already liberal enough to legislate from the bench on their own, and 5 true liberals would have been chaos. The decision is going to be more consequential for what the SCOTUS didn't do than what they actually do, to be fair.

I actually wonder about the diehard Trump supporters. How far would they be willing to go? Like, if Trump directly called them idiots, would they go "haha what a jokester" or even "well he's right" and continue to support Trump?

You should read Hoffer's The True Believer. Most diehard supporters of any movement stem from their own lack of self-worth, so I think they would probably align closer with the latter statement.

The biggest problem with games and movies is that they are TRASH, that they waste your time and do not intellectually advance you (sometimes, they even bombard you with anti-human propaganda).

"I love the poorly educated"


This moment always felt so slimy because he went on to name all the demographics he won and said (paraphrased) "We won the young, we won the old, we won the rich, we won the poor..." and ran down the list of opposites until he broke the parret with "...we won the smartest, and we won the most loyal."

He thinks the poorly educated are the most loyal, and he thinks loyalty is opposed to being smart.

(I get that he can't just say "we won the dumbest!" but he could have hyped up the mechanics and miners out there with no college education and it would have been more reasonable to say)

To be fair the US rating system is quite poor and not legally binding like it is in other countries. I can see why you might think there needs to be a rating system - there kind of isn't.

The rating system is absolutely good enough. Like the pirate code, it's a guideline. The rest is up to parents, as it should be.

The context was during GamerGate he was arguing to get politics out of games

I asked him about MGS

His response was that none of MGSs messages are political, but rather just common sense messages that basically all humans agree with. <_<

It's gonna be so hilarious to see Gamergaters turn their backs on their ethics just because they'd have to admit they were wrong about Trump and that would be the absolute worst possible thing.

Of course, I'm hoping plenty of them realize just how brainwashed the movement made them and how much cognitive dissonance they have to subscribe to now, and hop off of it before it crashes a second/third time.

BLOOMBERG - Mueller Squeezes Manafort and Gates With New Tax Charges

Mueller used a new 32-count indictment in Alexandria, Virginia, to raise the legal stakes against the duo, who were initially indicted on Oct. 27 in Washington on charges of laundering millions of dollars and failing to register as foreign agents for their political consulting work over a decade in Ukraine.

The second indictment complicates the legal defense for both men and appears to signal that plea negotiations have been fruitless. Gates had been weighing a guilty plea, according to several reports. Mueller, who is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election, has charged a total of 19 people and picked up the tempo of his public actions in recent days.

Manafort and Gates generated tens of millions of dollars in income as a result of their Ukraine work, the new indictment said. From approximately 2006 through the present, Manafort and Gates engaged in a scheme to hide income from United States authorities, while enjoying the use of the money.

These charges are actually related to that.

The GOP is the party of "YOU NEED TO RESPECT THE COPS".

And now they're like "pfft any teacher could do the hardest part of a cops job".

Cops are trained for years to handle these situations. They have extensive training on decision making, handling a weapon, and how to engage. It is literally their job. They also know how to be on alert, and how to properly secure their firearm and defend it from someone trying to disarm them.

And these crazy people are like "YEE HAW I COULD DO THAT ANYONE COULD DO THAT GIVE TEACHERS A GUN PEW PEW PEW PEW". It should a blatant disrespect for what police do and what they go through to think this could go remotely well.
