Yet another refugee who washed up on the shore after the great Reddit disaster of 2023

AFKBRBChocolate,

I loved that game. Might be interesting to try again. Man, Myst seemed so revolutionary at the time and I sure loved the concept of there being no instructions, you’re just plunked down in a world and figure out that there’s stuff going on.

AFKBRBChocolate,

Here’s the frame from the video showing her giving the finger to the staff, that’s she’s denying.

AFKBRBChocolate,

I know it won’t happen, but what would happen if Trump dropped out after formally becoming the Republican candidate?

AFKBRBChocolate,

Okay, interesting, thank you. What a shit show that would be in either case.

AFKBRBChocolate,

Democratic representative from Minnesota.

AFKBRBChocolate,

Just googling him, he’s a practicing trial lawyer in Los Angeles. I’m always surprised when people who have a public business are so outspoken with fringe political ideas. Seems bad for business.

AFKBRBChocolate,

Veteran of many a caturday

AFKBRBChocolate,

Obviously some kind of symbolism, but not sure what. I did some searching, but not finding anything.

AFKBRBChocolate,

I know this isn’t the “fun” answer, but I wouldn’t. I’m a manager, and I’ve been on the other side of that situation too many times. I’ve never met a manager who wants to do it - we’d all rather have enough work for everyone. It sucks but far the most for the person being laid off, but it’s a shitty time for everyone.

Plus I’ve also hired back good employees when work picked back up down the road, so there’s the bridge burning aspect to consider.

AFKBRBChocolate,

How was that seven years ago?

AFKBRBChocolate,

This needs to be brought up every damned time this subject comes up. Cohen served time for the exact same crime - so what argument is there that Trump shouldn’t?

AFKBRBChocolate,

It’s not like they’re going to put him with the general population. And USSS agents don’t sign up to be in prison.

AFKBRBChocolate,

Cohen got prison time for the same exact crime, also a first offense. To my mind, being a former president should make them hold to to a higher standard, not a lesser one.

AFKBRBChocolate,

I completely agree. I asked what argument there was that he shouldn’t, not that he wouldn’t.

AFKBRBChocolate,

Paraphrasing, “We choose to send Trump to prison, not because it is easy, but because it is hard.”

AFKBRBChocolate,

The dogs sweating one seems like a quibble. I think what most of us heard/understood is that dogs can’t sweat (because of the fur), so they use their mouths/tongue. Okay, apparently they can sweat through their foot pads, but since those are on the ground I doubt they’re getting much evaporative cooling there. This says they regulate temperature through panting, which seems awfully close to the “myth.”

AFKBRBChocolate,

Man, I love the guy’s expression when he realizes he has zero excuse and was totally screwed.

AFKBRBChocolate,

My wife watches that judge - judge Simpson - regularly. He actually seems like a really good guy who wants to give people a chance, but he does not put up with shit at all. Any sort of blatant disregard for the law or disrespect for the court during the proceedings and the person is going to have a bad time.

AFKBRBChocolate,

Thanks for making me feel better

AFKBRBChocolate,

Not sure what I would have done in Biden’s spot. China has a long history of ignoring patents, doing industrial espionage, and government funding an industry to corner the market on it, shutting everyone else out. We need cheap EVs, but that cost is so high.

AFKBRBChocolate,

It’s a double win for him. Yes, he’s courting automakers and the oil and gas industry, so this gets him that, but a giant percentage of his base is simply against anything that liberals are for. Think of those idiots rolling coal. They’re literally making their cars as polluting as possible. What do they gain from it? The only thing it does, besides contributing to climate change, is upset liberals, and that’s the goal. Every one of those people will support this.

AFKBRBChocolate,

Far from my area of expertise, but my guess is because people can swallow lack of forward progress way better than they swallow going backwards. The current trade with China started back under Nixon, and Americans have gotten used to so many ultra cheap Chinese goods. I try to avoid products from China, and for some things it’s really hard, and it usually means paying double the price. If we cut off that trade or raised the tarrifs a lot, the price of so many things works skyrocket and people wouldn’t stand for it.

AFKBRBChocolate,

Rights aren’t, and shouldn’t be, all or nothing. Criminals, for instance, forfeit certain rights depending on the crime and the jurisdiction. Often they forfeit the right to freedom and end up in prison. In some places, for some crimes, they might even forfeit the right to life and get executed.

But the important things is we have a system for determining what those things are. If, as with your example, we said pedophiles have zero rights, that would mean that anyone would be free to kill them, to steal from them, to torture them, or whatever. That doesn’t seem like a good move for society, especially given the potential for abuse.

AFKBRBChocolate,

Oh, completely agree, but for the first two thirds of the 20th century, most Christians, like most people generally, were very pro science and took the bible as a book of lessons. It’s only in the last several decades that such a huge percentage of Christians equate science as antithetical to Christianity.

AFKBRBChocolate,

Solid point. Still, the prevailing attitude in the 40s and 50s was that science made things better, with perhaps a detour related to nuclear bombs/energy.
