Mustang posted:When I see that Trump is taking experimental treatments it makes me think of the illness event in CK2/3 for your ruler that rarely ever have a good outcome. If you have a good doctor the experimental treatments can not just cure you but make you better than you were before. In ck2 anyway (I made the system). So, we need to be aware that Trump may return with higher stats than before, but that his doctor may have to sacrifice himself or one of Trump's kids to achieve this.

TulliusCicero posted:Oh good, the Malignant Narcissist wants to take the entire country out with him screaming and gurgling in his own waste It really is. When it was clear Germany had lost the war Hitler issued various orders to destroy infrastructure, power, water, food systems etc. so the Allies would occupy nothing of value. When it was pointed out that this would also kill millions of Germans he said it served them right for failing him. Luckily very little of this was actually carried out because even high level nazis had enough integrity not to kill off a big chunk of their own population to spite the victors. Trump seems like he has similar feelings, and even worse, the GoP is happy to go along with it.

So if Biden wins is there any change he can say "Yo, banks, please give everyone $1200/month. Landlords just don't evict anyone. We'll repay you in January"?

Arcsquad12 posted:If Pence wants to needle Harris over a gaffe then Harris should ask him what his mother thinks about him getting rear end hosed by a horse. Any reason you assume it was a gaffe rather than taking part in the common meme that Tupac is alive? Unrelated, I thought the bit about Americans having trauma reactions to the unending horror that is their lives was interesting: https://eand.co/the-rise-of-the-american-idiot-dd6c85c445ba quote:I tell my European and Asian and Canadian friends, in return, that America really is different. It’s a place where death stalks people breathing down their necks every single day of their lives. What else do you call a thing hospital bills in the hundreds of thousands? “Medical bankruptcies”? A lack of healthcare is a very real form of violence, too.

massive spider posted:It’s fundamentally a boring, unsexy issue to deal with. The things you have to do to deal with it involve making unpopular decisions, and its an “if you do things right-no one will know because nothing happens” type issue. I don't think that's true. People would love a good covid response, especially if it involved good stimulus/UBI for the duration. Even if the USA wasn't making GBS threads the bed there'd still be a massive worldwide death toll and Russia and Brazil's terrible responses to show how bad things could have been.

SocketWrench posted:And so what if it is? I said those thermometers aren't great when it comes to taking temps and you went all "YoU aRe DeFeNdInG tHiS?!" which no I'm not. I'm saying it's not that big a loving deal given those thermometers suck when not in controlled environments. I guess the point is that it doesn't really matter if there's reasons for a low reading or not, the whole reason to do temp checks is to weed out people with fevers/covid. If they don't do that accurately and they keep using them it's as bad as them being intentionally fudged low.

adoration for none posted:In Florida they passed a minimum wage increase 60 to 40. Trump won the state comfortably even though Biden was talking about a minimum wage increase. Think about that, there are voters who voted for a minimum wage increase AND Trump. This is about the 4th time you've popped in to report "news" which was posted pages before and discussed already recently. There's a thread search function now (assuming it works) which might help you if you want to see what's been said already and continue from there.

Which meant that there were thousands of military-trained people with a poo poo-ton of time of their hands. And that's part of why we got ISIL.

OctaMurk posted:who puts the police in jail or keeps them there if theres no police What a lame post. I dunno if you're being wilfully ignorant or this is actually your first time seeing people talking about "Abolishing/defunding the police", but generally few people want to do away with the concept of law enforcement as a whole. Instead, the idea is to get rid of the current crop of racist murderers and then build a new system more focused on social policing, social work, and de-escalation.

Djarum posted:While I agree with you on a lot of points here I will say at least with systemic racism/sexism and privilege even if you are exposed to these realities often times they just won’t accept it. I assume some of it is learned behavior, which is a hell of a problem. The other part I feel is fear. If you look at how much hate is pushed towards the LGBTQ community especially gay men and trans folks it comes from a fear that either they might be gay/trans or that they know they are gay/trans and live in denial due to their fear. You don’t see this as much with women, even in the conservative side, which I am sure someone that is female can give a perspective on why that is. I have theories but I am not a woman so I really can’t have an arcuate view on it. Along with not using slurs, you need to learn about TERFs. Not that terfs are the only bigoted women around, of course, but they are a well-known group if you care about LGBT issues.

When people say you can't be racist against white people, do you just mean in the US/in white majority nations? Because in Europe you certainly see racism against Slavs, for example. Or could a white person suffer racism in a non-white majority nation where the power structure isn't set up to favour them?

The Pussy Boss posted:No, I'm saying that I don't believe that Joe Biden actually supports a $15/hr minimum wage, I don't put much stock in something from his website as opposed to what I know about him from his long career in politics, and I think that a Republican-controlled Senate is a convenient excuse for why he won't fight for raising the minimum wage, or even mention it much now that he's elected. I would love to be proved wrong, though. Do you think he knew Dems wouldn't win the senate when he laid out his policy page, or did he have a different excuse planned for that?

The Oldest Man posted:Uh yeah we also put Japan under a crippling oil embargo and the attack on Pearl was simply to make it harder for the US to militarily oppose Japan annexing a bunch of oil-producing areas in SE Asia. Are you aware that the oil embargo was to try to stop Japan's ongoing invasion and committing masses of war crimes in China? But Japan wanted to keep those war crimes going so badly they instead decided to attack the USA and grab their own war-crime-enabling oil. Japanese war crimes in China might be slightly less than what Nazi Germany managed in Europe, but if so it's not by much. It's gross to portray Japan as the poor, innocent victim here.

I am talking to you, which was why I quoted your post. You seem to be arguing that there was no benefit to greatly reducing the number of people being tortured in gitmo because the number wasn't reduced to 0. Vastly reducing the number of people kept there was a good thing, even if the ideal thing would be releasing everyone.
