I’m on iOS, but I gave it a few minutes of swiping to help out.
I don’t really understand what this means. Can you explain the implications?
It requires no restraint if you’re not a monster.
Vice President is the surest path to President in US politics.
Oh, yeah, no world in which I’m paying $4k for being wrong. Good on the other guy for taking your twenty. Good luck and I’ll be watching with interest.
Would that be $2 from me if I lose?
You’re applying the behavior of Republicans under Trump in 2024 to their behavior in 2016 under Mitch McConnell, which is not a fair way to interpret history.
The Republicans’ primary goal has always been to consolidate power, a strategy evident even before Trump’s influence. This was evident in 2016 when McConnell blocked Merrick Garland’s appointment. It wasn’t just about denying Obama a win; it was about maintaining control over the Supreme Court. By holding the position open, they ensured a conservative majority with Gorsuch’s appointment in 2017.
While their actions under Trump have often seemed erratic and without principle, the decision to block Garland was a calculated, strategic move rooted in the same pursuit of power. Viewing their behavior solely through the lens of recent events, like the border bill, ignores the broader, consistent strategy they have employed over the years.
The move to block Garland was a clear demonstration of their long-term strategy to secure judicial power, not an isolated act of obstructionism. This context is crucial for understanding the continuity in their approach to power, rather than seeing it as a sudden shift in behavior.
He is not. If he were, why would the republicans have stonewalled his nomination for Supreme Court Justice? It doesn’t make sense.
He has participated in some events, like debates, with the federalist society, but he is not a member.
Do all the research in the world and you will not find any connection there.
“John [Roberts] has made his decision; now let him enforce it.”
-Joe Biden channeling Andrew Jackson (who was, to be clear, a garbage human being and on the wrong side of history, much like most of our current supreme court)
Historian Sean Munger’s excellent 2-part series on the JFK assassination interestingly titled: Oswald Acted Alone.
Anyone have thoughts on this? I’ve only played a little, so most of this doesn’t mean too much to me yet.
I wasn’t double tapping intentionally! That’s the ticket. I was tapping around looking for a collapse trigger and must have occasionally tapped quickly enough to earn a double tap.
Very cool and thanks for making this.
Very neat. I haven’t used Reddit in a year, but I wanted to check out your app out of curiosity. I think I feel much healthier without it being a regular part of my life, but this is an interesting window I could glance through from time to time.
The comment collapse feature seems to work very inconsistently. Where should you be tapping or how in order to collapse a comment thread?
Esoteric for me. I still have trouble with that word.
I want it to be eh-sot-uh-rik for some reason.
I’m pretty sure the always online drm was used to justify transactions in there first place due to the real money auction house.
I disagree. There’s a deeply unethical core built into Steam that is distinct to it. Since you can sell your loot drops for actual money, they are more literally scratch tickets than your standard loot boxes.
Valve does plenty of unethical stuff, you’re right, but the store isn’t really it. Go after them for their shady loot box gambling and really predatory monetization in f2p games that creates secondary gambling markets. It’s insane.
Valve has actual blood it’s hands and you’re complaining about the legitimate business front that covers for a deeply profitable and unethical core.
A box cutter guillotine!
I don’t think it should be controversial to say that you vote for Nazis and you are a Nazi.
So then our policy can simply be, “Nazis sleep alone.”
