I did not say that centrists are mythical.
I said that a centrist who cares more about the language used to describe abortion, rather than the banning of abortion, is mythical.

Oh darn. I felt special for once.

I don't even know what you are discussing. I just saw someone say centrists are mythical, and I am apparently a unicorn.

25 is fine. Stop being complainers.

You do whatever the person willing to lend to you asks.

That said, I have gotten screwed almost every time I have lent to people no matter how close they were. So, I just don't let anyone borrow money anymore.

The best was when someone said I don't get my money every month as agreed upon unless I personally drive to their house every month. Lol.

Anything signed won't matter in the court of law most likely. Also, based on personal experience. Never loan anyone money ever that you won't be okay if they never pay it back.

@Dels @DoubleTangicide @Dark_Young_Link look at all these reaches

does puns still play or has he sworn off?

He left the board for good over a political argument in which he stated his opinion and then felt the need to continually try and make people understand his position instead of just realize they were wrong team and didn't care.

We for sure have below average at making people do stuff. But also philosophy style I don't try to catch scum on b8, I catch town. I do this because I die early and leaving a town core behind is pretty important. It's a function of understanding what towns need. On b8 I am more magic Johnson than MJ most of the time because it is hard to win games as MJ. I usually don't even care if I hit scum day one as town!

Although scum have been leaving me alive so I might try to do a power town game again

Nothing bad parenting-wise for deleting a save to start anew. We all did it repeatedly on our consoles when we were younger with our memory card limits.

Russia gave up all the kyiv areas they took control of. There are a lot of civilian atrocities that happened. Mariupol can fall at any moment. Russia has repositioned to the east and has been steadily inching forward in gaining ground against Ukraine from the south and east, but nothing major so far.

This is really, really awful. However, my understanding is this will mean it become a states rights thing and not an actual national ban, so abortion will be legal in blue states. Is this accurate?

Yeah, it is what everyone has always said will happen. That abortion won't be banned by the Supreme Court. It would be just sent back to states to decide.

That said, it's a rough draft and the original roe v wade was set to fail in rough discussions before flipping to the roe v wade outcome we got. So, it's not determined yet.

I mean, democrats could have trotted out basically anyone other than poison pill Hillary in that election and won.

Just a reminder.

where are you getting this official list? It doesnt actually seem accurate.

putting aside that something like Hawkeye wasnt really cancelled, it just was only ever intended to be one season... some of this other stuff just doesnt seem to be officially cancelled yet.

Like I cant find any announcement for Kenan. And Atlanta already has another season produced after this current one (its ending after the fourth season, but again... its not really cancelled, Donald Glover just wanted to end it)

It's not official. It's always his best guess at what is gonna happen. That's why it was funny when a news site posted this list as factual one year, when it was hella inaccurate.

Mr Lasastryke posted...

that's not what the meme says. it says his opinions are exactly the same but he's considered right-wing now because the political discourse in general has become more left-wing.

Damn yinz made this liberal right wing now in 2021.

Theres nothing inherently wrong with having money. I dont think thats incompatible with socialism.

the difference between Elon and Hassan or lots of actors and other rich entertainers is Elon had to exploit workers to get his wealth.
Famous actors are extremely well compensated, but theyre also just unionized workers. theyre not necessarily doing anything exploitative. Hassan too is just a guy people are choosing to give money to, hes not making his money off of other peoples labor.

Hassan has been very hypocritical in his messaging and actions actually.

Sometimes being condescending is a tactic to paint the person being treated that way as incompetent. Thus, could be a tactic used against someone not helpful to your case.

What you're asking for, Corrik, is an impossibility. What exactly can he do to prove he never, ever, ever hit her? It's pretty obvious all he can do is use the mountains of facts and eye witness testimony to prove that Amber is absolutely dishonest and that the situations she said she was hit by him, he never did so. It's up to the jury to decide if it's more likely Amber lied entirely and he never hit her, or if she was telling the truth and that maybe Johnny hit her once. I've never said he needs to definitively prove he never did so, because that's just impossible. A lot of civil cases aren't open and shut like that.

The jury will deliberate on whether or not they made a good enough of a job proving it's likely he never did so. It's unlikely that everyone will collectively will consider it to the degree you're speaking, and there will be debate on whether or not they did a good enough job proving their case.

And I think it's pretty clear I'm biased in this case. I'm not presenting otherwise, because I have watched this entire thing happen and have a strong idea of what's coming ahead. I think I've done a pretty decent job articulating how this works though and why I feel like Depp is currently proving his case exceptionally well.

I actually think the case is unwinnable by Depp, yes.

Can always talk to me if you need someone, bud. Hope all is well.

PrivateBiscuit1 posted...

also helps that there is overwhelming evidence of Johnny being the one being abused

Just wanna nitpick your wording choice.

There is no evidence really that can be shown to say that he was the only one abused. And it's basically impossible to prove this beyond hearsay and circumstantial evidence. It's important that both are considered innocent if they weren't proven to be guilty. And, yes, neither Heard or Depp are guilty of a crime (right now). But, this case isn't really centered around guilt, since it is civil. The onus would be on Depp to be able to prove he never abused Heard, which he can't, if he can even proven Heard directly even was naming him (which maybe he can).

One thing I noticed in the Rittenhouse case and this one, not to attack you but just muse, is that I think you decide what is the correct side and kind of tailor what you say sometimes to that result.

Your wording you use sometimes is the issue. I think many took you that way in the Rittenhouse case with your wording you used there also.

Can you at least see why leftists would hate that

Seems unrealistic to me. Should they be canceling Bernie Sanders then and Hassan and so on every step of the way and proclaiming them not liberals?

Sheep007 posted...

I think when you have as much power as he does, if you're gonna be taken seriously as anti-establishment or socialist you need to put your money where your mouth is.

I'll believe it when Tesla workers own as much of the company individually as he does, or when the equipment on his Mars colonies are owned by the people working there rather than him. Frankly, most of his ideas for Mars feel like the backstory for a dystopian 60s sci-fi novel.

Well, that is never going to happen. He believes his goals exceed this planet and his mission is greater than can be seen. He plays "by the rules and costs of business" set before him but wants to propel earth towards a future where those aren't the rules going forward.

It's super forward thinking with basically no grounding, but hey.

Jakyl25 posted...

, it shows he doesnt actually care to learn.

He has outright said he cares about transgender equality for rights issues but has no care for the pronoun discussion. So, yes, he doesn't care to learn about it.

Lightning Strikes posted...

Socialism is when you support public ownership of the means of production and redistribution of wealth, which is a million miles from what Musk believes.

Is it though?

He donated to the prop in California to tax the rich to provide free pre-k. He supported Yang and his UBI. His Martian government ideas are direct democracy, and his belief is government should have no bearing on people and if it does it should be for the happiness of the populace only.

Idk if being rich and working by the model the world he lives in operates automatically disqualifies him from what he may wish the world was.

Mr Lasastryke posted...

ok, you were saying that you didn't understand why liberals were deleting their twitter accounts because musk is on the left. which he also isn't if he's moderate with right-wing tendencies. and libertarianism is extremely far removed from the left.

According to common United States meanings of conservative and liberal, libertarianism in the United States has been described as conservative on economic issues (economic liberalism and fiscal conservatism) and liberal on personal freedom (civil libertarianism and cultural liberalism).

This would relatively be a liberal to me, especially in regards to a social media platform.

This is sort of the idea where everyone to the right of where I stand is a nazi mentality or something.

Yes, I don't understand deleting your account over it. At all. It's a bit ironic because the left was mocking the right for "leaving" their social media because Trump was banned for some stupid offshoots and then they are gonna "quit" for a few weeks because someone they don't like now owns it? Idk. I personally don't get it. I find the polarized nature of American politics and the teams on both sides as huge contradictory idiots anymore lol.

Mr Lasastryke posted...

even if this is true (which i doubt), this is far removed from socialism. not sure why you're arguing that he's a socialist.

Where did I argue he is a socialist? I said he is a self-proclaimed socialist. Whether I think he is or not, he considers himself one based on what he believes.

Most label him moreso a libertarian.

Whether she abused him also is extraneous to the case though isn't it?

MarkS222222222222222 posted...

Yeah, I wasn't sure where folks were getting the impression that he was right wing either, but I thought about it more and maybe it's a function Twitter culture itself. Perhaps they've seen him criticize or disagree with some on the left, so therefore he must be "on the other side". No room for nuance or a full picture of anything.

It's because he would unban Trump. They think because he does things that are beneficial for his company that it makes him right wing. He says it himself. He donates to both parties, moreso democrats barely, but he donates to both because (it is the cost of business in this country).

He is a huge environmentalist whose entire business is predicated on climate change. He was furious we left the Paris accord. Has stated many times he thinks direct rule and no government is the best rule (like lmfao how dumb). But, his business decisions are more right wing in being anti-union and such.

People don't realize that he runs a business and does what's best for the business. He can't change the overall means of production across the country through his own company.

Heck, libertarian is another label thrown out for him. I think Musk says it best though. Moderate with economically more conservative / right of center tendencies, but socially clearly liberal.

But, since he thinks pronouns are a confusing mess he is probably considered a bigot and thus a republican, I assume.

tazzyboyishere posted...

Neither you or Elon Musk know what that word means

I have literally a history degree. I am pretty sure I know what socialism means. I am also extremely sure I know that Elon Musk is a self-proclaimed socialist. Obviously self-proclaimed is pointed out for a reason. You should maybe not get condescending.

MoogleKupo141 posted...

no

why would you think that

A self-proclaimed socialist, liberal socially that supported Yang for president who was for UBI?

Um? He aligns with the right on a few issues, but isn't he considered a liberal?
