What if the earthquake was because we never unhexed the moon
seconding this
If we work together and give it the effort, we can at least make things better. There will always be someone to help and someone who can help you.god that's so cheesy
Do libs have a more frustrating habit than deciding to defend a thing simply bc right wingers hate it?
spoiler
Yes, when they stab us in the back and accelerate fascism
Do you think right wing think tanks give conservative videos views and subscribers like how they buy up copies of conservative books to overinflate their numbers?
Easily in my top 3 cat videos and I don't say that lightly
STO and ESO for me.
I just play for 4-5 hours a day and try not to think about the outside world.
Older MMOs are real comfy, I still bounce between STO and LOTRO when I'm in the right mood for it
Yeah, new MMOs are way, way, way too action oriented with almost no exploration which is what I love the most.
You can actually walk to Mordor now, I can't believe that game is still running sometimes but hopefully it keeps going at least until I catch up with all of it
Very busy fleshing out Witch Maoism, need to find new ways to harness our mass psy-power against Ted Cruz’s dick
Reading Reaganland by Rick Perlstein where he says that Involuntary sterilizations in the 70s were known as 'Mississippi apendectomies'.
The 'delousing' chambers built by the US at the borders to humiliate and torture migrants were nearly copied completely by the Nazi regime in building their gas chambers.
Guys I need a reality check. Working in service you hear people utter incredible shit.
Had a young econ professor moving back to our eu country to teach here from a job at a big and "excellent" uni in california. He said he hopes Biden gets elected, and that CA is a deep red state. A co-worker of mine interjected: aren't the democrats blue. He said: red because they are more like our succdem party which are red, but actually the Californian Democratic was more akin to our far left and green party.
Am I going insane?
Update: of course, the entire group deeply cares about a certain judge, while not knowing one on the supreme court of the country they are citizens of.
Well, I'll admit one similarity between succdems and democrats, they both just love to loose.
We had state level single payer ready to pass only for the bill to be withdrawn by democratic party leadership at the behest of our governor. We are more progressive than most of the US but to say we're far left is fucking crazy.
I need agree/disagree style statements that you might find in a Political Compass style test. It'd be useful but not entirely necessary if these questions orient around the difference between state vs capital control of the MOP, or worker vs capital control of the MOP. This project is aimed at liberals, so the statements should be relatively mild.
My favorite question so far is, "Workers should have a vote on what rules their bosses need to follow to fire them." My second-favorite is, "The most important rights are property rights." (Remember it's an agree/disagree question.)
edit: Just because Science Pope gave me a good answer doesn't mean you're off the hook!
“The most important rights are property rights.”
This could be primed in several ways, so you'd have to be careful about how the statement is worded, and also the context in which the question is asked. For instance, if that statement is immediately preceded by, "The most important rights are human rights," it might significantly skew results.
Priming is a great idea to take into account.
I'm shuffling the list each time, which should help fix that, at least in aggregate.
I'd really like to just say "Property rights are more important than human rights," and make people click disagree on that, but I don't think capitalism-fans would be okay with that framing.
"If a large majority of people support a policy, then politicians should be required to work towards the realization of that policy."
What about something along the lines of "A frycook owns each burger they make" something to evoke a business taking credit for the product they merely distribute.
"The investor deserves most of the credit for the success of a business"
"Employees should have representation on the board of directors"
"Every year employees should be given an amount of company shares based on how much they contribute"
The most important priority for a company should be profit for shareholders
That's a good angle. I changed most important to only, since I want agreeing with that to feel a little more ghoulish.
