| Anteaterking 06/26/20 12:39:02 AM #31 | piUrsEitanizm posted... It matters as to who wins the vote, none of the polls ask how many people are actually commited to going out and voting. You know there are actually poll distinctions between registered voters and likely voters, right? Like those are terms used when polling political races that mean things for the model? --- |

| Anteaterking 06/25/20 11:11:02 PM #4 | I just found out the other day that there's a conservative SCP because the real one had a pride flag so there was a schism. --- |

End up in git mo More importantly though, the best you could do is guess who people were voting for and mess with just those ballots. It's not like you would get to unseal all of them and put the ones you like back. --- |

| Anteaterking 06/24/20 2:53:22 PM #4 | If there's nothing between e.g. UR and R on the controller, then having non-rigid directional controls just means that you accidentally go R instead of UR sometimes when you want it. --- |

Again, the underlying, unspoken argument against smartphone voting is that Republicans cant suppress minorities from voting using the methods explained by @Shablagoo Now imagine if Republicans could suppress the votes of Americans without them even knowing. --- |

| Anteaterking 06/23/20 11:49:12 PM #51 | legendary_zell posted... That's all well and good during normal circumstances. But during a pandemic, and associated economic crisis, and uprisings for racial and social justice, it doesn't make as much sense. You gotta read the room. What is the benefit to backing his opponent exactly? You think his supporters will say "Golly, I guess I WILL support the establishment!" If Engel loses, you just welcome his challenger into the party. If he wins, you still look like you're loyal to people who stay in line. Antifar posted... In less good news, my local incumbent is winning comfortably over his progressive challenger. State or national? --- |
| Topic | NY/KY primary topic |
| Anteaterking 06/23/20 11:20:19 PM #47 | legendary_zell posted... I'm saying these establishment Democrats are very bad at politics and consistently back the wrong horse and lose winnable races. And that it makes no sense to have them in office making bad policy if they're not even going to make good purely political decisions. They're not backing him because they think he'll win. They're backing him because he's the house chair of foreign affairs and you aren't going to get loyal party members if you back their primary opponents just because it looks like they'll lose. Like you understand that endorsing isn't just "predicting who will win" right? --- |

I honestly don't hear anything about Shahid Buttar outside of a certain set, but Jamaal Bowman and Mondaire Jones got a lot of attention. Before the CA primary I heard a lot more about him, especially weighted by his chances of winning the primary. Would you expect to hear about a primary opponent who gets 13% in any other district? I know CA jungle primaries and stuff but. --- |
| Topic | Game Design Question: What's your favorite type of Skill Progression? |
| Anteaterking 06/23/20 8:55:22 PM #10 | Skill trees. AlisLandale posted... Discovery - Abilities are either found, or taught to you, by exploring the world and finding the relevant item or NPC. Mostly used in adventure games and metroidvanias. I like these in most non-rpgs. AlisLandale posted... My only problem with this, in a general sense, is a that youve got to be *very* careful with how you balance the game. Or you run the risk of railroading the playing into a boring, optimal strategy that doesnt allow them to level up the skills they might have more fun with. And because your preferred skills become underlevelled, you become less and less likely to invest in them as the game progresses. I feel like you only need to balance around uninformed players. In single player content if someone wants to look up a busted skill build that makes the game boring for them, more power to them. --- |

| Anteaterking 06/23/20 8:41:04 PM #15 | Antifar posted... I mean, they're separate seats. Por que los dos? I'm thinking more of national attention/fundraising. Like when Beto ate up a lot of funding in 2018 because people really wanted to see Cruz lose. Though tbf, it might be more of a bias thing as someone who doesn't vote in either district that I'm conflating "who I hear about" with "who is getting more (important) attention". --- |

| Topic | Why do some Republicans make Science political? |
| Anteaterking 06/23/20 8:04:14 PM #31 | It's easier to pretend climate change is not real/exaggerated so we shouldn't change things than have the conversation of "What should we be willing to give up for the climate?" It's easier to pretend that COVID isn't a real concern than have the conversation of "Is it worth risking people's lives to re-open?" using facts. This isn't inherently limited to one party, it's just that often times the reason to re-frame a scientific argument is to hide your priorities compared to your constituents which lends itself more to the GOP. --- |

| Topic | Young people becoming less accepting of LGBT people? |
| Anteaterking 06/22/20 8:34:59 PM #60 | There's a perception that they are only because it's an easy grift. All it takes for conservatives to shower you with attention is to say that you're young and think Democrats have "gone too far". But most young people aren't that way. Also being left leaning and being a "leftist" are not the same thing. Even if you think that Bill Maher fits with the mainline democrats, that would make him liberal at most not "leftist". --- |

| Anteaterking 06/22/20 6:52:34 PM #258 | EnragedSlith posted... remember I once kissed a girl after spending like two hours talking with her over coffee. She was smiley and kind of shy, and I remember thinking the date was going really well. Right but what were the power dynamics of the situation? You're in public, you're not meeting under false pretenses, you haven't tried to liquor her up ahead of time, and (unless you left this out) you have no power or prestige over her. I don't think anyone would care about that accusation, even if they believed it was true. When you are in Joe's position, you KNOW that there's a power dynamic at play. You're using the promise of connections, etc. to get this person in the situation and there are particular actions that I feel like can't just be seen a different way from his viewpoint (trying to keep her away from her phone, trying to cast aspersions on her friend, etc.) --- |

Id put Horse in 3rd place of those 3 Yeah I'd say of the three of them, Shaun King is the most annoying but also the one who gets the most flak from his part of the political spectrum. IMC is the worst because he lives in Malaysia but constantly gets signal boosted by righties for his thoughts on America. --- |

Her story was that her and this friend went together to meet Joe, and he somehow grabbed her and said we have to go right now, and left the guy hanging. Its seems really odd that I couldve happened the way she described, yet he was unaware of this guy, and she didnt object? They attended his panel (along with many other people) and he grabbed her and went backstage before she asked about her friend. Which, that interaction isn't sketchy, it would be expected unless you said otherwise that security isn't going to just let every person milling around also go backstage with him. --- |

| Anteaterking 06/22/20 6:25:20 PM #239 | Background_Guy posted... Why do I believe women have the same cognitive ability as men? Personal experience, I guess. Maybe if you talked to more women you would realize that they don't need to be led around and protected all the time. I know you're just trolling, but it has less to do with "women can't handle it but men can" and more that women get put into the position far more often than men. Like I've been in an uncomfortable situation before on a "date" that I felt too awkward about to get out of and ended up doing things I didn't really want to because it wasn't easy to just stand up and walk away. Like physically it was trivial to do that, but it was the sort of thing where I was trying to passively resolve the situation with the path of least resistance. Now imagine that any situation where you're alone with a guy can develop into one of those situations because of cultural expectations. --- |

| Anteaterking 06/22/20 6:13:27 PM #230 | looked posted... Im a little confused. He allegedly grabbed her and dragged her away from her friend, but later on when she tells him that her friend is drunk, he asks for his twitter handle because he doesnt believe this is a real person. How is he not aware of this person, when she has been hanging out with him the entire time? He's looking for an excuse at this point, it doesn't have to be rational. It's not like "Your friend will rape you come with me instead" is a logical thing for him to say either. Also her friend is just another person in the crowd, it didn't seem in her account that he's paying enough attention to notice that person is with her. --- |

| Anteaterking 06/22/20 4:21:18 PM #157 | Lorenzo_2003 posted... I dont see how thats going to work when the world is filled with groupies who do want to bang celebrities, even lower rung celebrities who are just influencers or content creators. Yes, not every woman is interested, as Angry Joe found out with this particular fan, but there are enough of them that I dont blame him for trying. There's a sliding scale. The more famous/affluent someone is, the more naive you have to be to think that your interaction is going to be any more than transactional. I don't think Angry Joe is enough of a celebrity to reach that level. He's basically just famous enough to think he can pull it off, but not famous enough to be successful. I mean, do you come away from reading the story thinking that he succeeds at this tactic a lot? He sounds really desperate. --- |

| Topic | Angry Joe being Metooed on twitter. |
| Anteaterking 06/22/20 4:01:07 PM #139 | There are so many scummy YouTube/Twitch/other content creators that it's still surprising to me that people end up in these situations where women end up one on one with these pseudo-famous people who like them for no particular reason and then get surprised when they're only interested in sex instead of "helping them improve their channel" or whatever. Content creators need to get through their head that people liking their content isn't equivalent to wanting to bang them. I'm fine with cancelling the Angry Joes of the world. --- |
