TopicPolitics Containment Topic 205: A House Divided Senate Stand

Anyway, I may have more to say on this tomorrow when I/we have a better grasp on all the results since there are still a number of races outstanding/I'm still playing catch-up a bit on the time I missed.

But the Senate is really disappointing. Which seems kind of weird given the House is mostly performing within expectation. With the Senate results as it is, it does feel hollow to say "blue wave" but then you look at the popular vote and the House and historically I mean.. it technically is? I don't think I'm in favor of using the term (except mocking "RED WAVE" which is always okay.)

While I've backed away from the ledge I was nearing around 8:30 or whenever I made the decision to check the **** out of this topic, election coverage, and being awake I gotta say I still feel disappointed. Part of that is surely because as we all know (do we? Maybe not, I'm probably overestimating my own notability) I was high up on the optimistic end for how the night would turn out and we definitely didn't get there. We're hovering around my "Cynicism" forecast (which was around/slightly above Suprak's predix IIRC) so like... this outcome wasn't outside my range of expected outcomes but it still hurt to see it happen, especially since it felt kind of front-loaded with the Indiana and Florida (always florida) one-two punch.

But also because I think the Senate results - whatever reason you attribute to them - will be seen by Trump and the GOP (and make no mistake they are one-and-the-same and have been since 2016) will see it as validation for the appeals to race and fear that he was going hard on in the final weeks. And in certain areas that might not even be the wrong calculation, at a certain point the results just speak for themselves. And so I think they'll double-down on that strategy going forward. 2020 is going to be dark. And it's just so depressing to me to see that's where this country is heading. I've always thought - and said both before, during, and after - that Trump winning in 2016 meant we were heading down this path and that was probably the last real chance to change course... but a blue tsunami in 2018 was the secret emergency last resort breaks on that and even with a good night in the House, the Senate results keep it from being an indisputable repudiation. So here we go.

On a slightly more positive note (whatever I can muster of it, this was an alarmingly dark night for me) is that taking the House is significant going forward. We'll finally have oversight on this administration. The GOP committees have been a joke on this front (in the House at least, the Senate was more legit) and that has been remedied. Any of the worst legislative agenda from Trump will be halted. Though it was always a running joke, there will be no Wall. The ACA is safe... well, what still stands of it (barring lame-duck shenanigans and tbqh I'm not sure what goes on there. Maybe nothing, maybe chaos.) Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are safe and the House originates all spending so budgets should be saner. The Mueller investigation is safe because even in the worst case scenario (and I legit think it was plausible if the GOP held both chambers) that he is fired/Rosenstein is replaced the House can hire him and keep it going.

All things equal (i.e. ignoring the implausibility), I'd prefer the Senate over the House because of its power for confirmations, but gaining the House is still a huge deal.

Think I had something else to say, but Walker was just called as having lost and I lost my train of thought so let's cut it here for now.


i mean

didn't yesterday go pretty much as expected except for some real tight governor races?

I think that I have reached the point in my life that it is sort of a daunting task to be asked to go through games that take 20+ hours. Games like Halo MCC and Rocket League where I frequently come back to play online are different, but I'm looking games in my backlog such as The Witcher III and Persona 5 that take roughly 100 hours, and I instead go with my stockpile of sub-10 hour games.

Aside from Rocket League and Halo MCC, I think that the most that I have spent on a game this year is Okamiden or Valkyria Chronicles Remastered at around 22-24 hours. I think that something similar is happening to me and hour-long, multi-season TV shows.

I think that I prefer a wide variety of shorter experiences than investing a lot of time into a single entity.


Cool.

can I ask, what do you do for a living?

Government office associate. My #1 job duty is maintaining the documents in a SharePoint site - just the documents, mind you. This involves a lot of monotonous scanning (I've scanned 80,000 or so in the last 4 years) and following strict protocols to sort them. Trust me when I say this: It's not easy to learn, but once you master it, it's brainless. Duty #2 is processing paperwork for Medicaid and the redundancy there leads to mistakes eventually because it can be hard to recall whether you've done one specific step for case #17 or whether you did it for 14, 15, and 16.

Because I am focusing so much on this scanning, my skills are rotting. I feel like a worthless cog in a jalopy because I have asked for new regular duties for years - yes, plural - and gotten nothing. And while I do want to perhaps get a new job, I like the people and location here too much, plus I've only been a State employee for a little over three months (was a contractor before). And due to that and my medical situation finally being stable, I am moving out come December so it's not the right time for a change.

The redundancy of processing paperwork, scanning two feet of paper a week, and doing the same things causes severe burnout, which necessitates time off that I can't afford to take right now due to the cruelty of having to wait six total months before vacation time unlocks. I would be in a better place if I could take an extremely necessary 4-day weekend, but nooo....


Lol this is a pathetic job.

You can work 8 hours a week doing this and want to do less

That's a good backstory for the guy. Why are you passionate about him getting in though. What about him resonates with you.


He is basically a really bad, powerful guy, wanting to leave his evil past behind and be a good guy, but struggling with his own emotions of anger and frustration. He represents the human nature at its finest, and I totally identify myself with him since I myself left my past behind with God's help. I love his looks (the best design I've seen from Ayami Kojima), voice (props to Crispin Freeman), battle skills, magic powers, and rivalry.


Lol

That's one way of saying it. Another way to say it is that the studio now wants them to take less than what they originally negotiated when they signed up for the fourth movie.
