Absolutely normal. Kitty just likes to stay grounded.

The “logic” is just billionaire talking points, because that’s who holds the media’s purse strings. They’ll do anything to keep actual progressives out of power.

RIPBOZO. Streamers like this guy are why everyone hates influencers. I hope they throw the book at him.

I think what’s incredibility obvious to you and I is an area of willful and encouraged ignorance for some who benefit from the results of their ignorance. I think that the media is largely complicit is beyond distasteful, but it’s also the reality we live in.

I also think it’s important for wikipedia to work through their own NPOV policies. It should be applauded that they eventually arrived at the correct conclusion, AND moreso that they spent time considering and discarding contrary positions.

Accepting one particular viewpoint with no consideration is dogmatism, and is not helpful to progressive causes.

Good point. Guess it just indicates how unpredictable he is. Just like how he said he’d build a wall, then built a little chunk of wall. It’s all about doing the minimum possible to placate his base.

I’m just here trying to get a grasp on what the actual implications of his presidency are going to be. :/

Half eaten salad? No, he’d never eat any of a salad. Not enough cholesterol.

Yeah, sure, he doesn’t care about tradition, I get that. But it also seems to me Trump has always been fairly anti-China. Ofc he’s also plenty happy to misrepresent his intent if it makes his base happy, so maybe that part was just a facade?

Isn’t this a bit of a predicament for Trump? Traditionally the US has supported Taiwan’s independence, and it seems to me that’d be continued under Trump’s “China bad” rhetoric/policy. However, getting chummy with Putin might require rescinding support for Taiwan’s independence.

Am I missing something here?

“Better the devil you know,” perhaps?

Isn’t the issue of a single country that the Palestinian population is much higher than the Israeli population, so if there were a single democracy, it would mean that Palestinians would basically be fully in charge?

I think this is why a federated or two state solution is often suggested. Both parties need at least some level of autonomy.

Dogmatic? That’s pretty rich coming from the country with so much entrenched guilt that they’re willing to let the same thing happen someplace else because the ones they’ve wronged are now the perpetrators.

The correct lesson wasn’t only that ethnic persecution of Jewish people is to be avoided, it’s that all ethnic persecution should be avoided.

The missing bit is that daddy steals the other kids’ lunch money.

Yeah, that is the polar opposite of gluten free. Hail seitan! 🤘

NPR made it a point to say that some observers worry that the media attention Hoover’s case has drawn could undermine an organ-transplant system with a waiting list of more than 100,000 people. A professor of medical ethics with whom NPR spoke said all indications are that cases like Hoover’s are generally “one-offs that hopefully we’ll be able to get to the bottom of and prevent from ever happening again”.

Obviously the whole thing is horrifying, but it doesn’t move the needle much for me on my personal choice to donate or not.

Not surprising. WhatsAppism is truly the wet socks of organised religion. Hope those Christians are OK.

“I’m technically still on the barstool, so it’s allowed.”

So cute!

Or shot him as well as 2 bystanders and another cop, and then claimed he had a knife, but that it was subsequently stolen.

Would you rather take on 30 otter-sized horses, or one horse-sized otter?

That was indeed what I was thinking of. I didn’t realize it was rejected. My bad, and thanks for the letting me know!
