No. I wouldn't be mad people used this program.

You're upset that the program/plan even exists, no doubt in the same way as the people MICHAELCOLE is talking about.

Those people aren't necessarily mad that people are using it, they're mad that it exists at all.

There's still Drake Stans that think he won, but due to the backbending they have to do to justify their opinion, their opinion is irrelevant. But yeah, the vast majority of people think Kendrick won (or is winning, since I'm not sure if it's actually over or not).

Sure there will always be stans, even serial killers retain fans and groupies, however the support for each side seems similar to those who support a serial killer and those who don't (ironically in this case it's Kendrick who killed it).

IDK, Eminem vs Machine Gun Kelly was very 1 sided as well. Although Kendrick vs Drake being 1 sided is more wild since the gap between Kendrick and Drake is alot smaller than the gap between Eminem and MGK.

Edit: I didn't follow it at the time, but I would assume Ja Rule vs 50/Eminem was very 1 sided too since Ja Rule's career actually ended after their beef.

Fair examples to bring up, Em and MGK aren't even in the same realm so that's like an ant taking on an elephant. Wasn't aware of the second one, thanks.

Constructing nonsense irrelevant arguments because you nurse an irrational but intense hatred for a woman who has made a very successful career out of pop music.

Ludicrous.

I'm not attacking her for it, however it's not just her who is attacked for this. I listen to a progressive pundit named Thom Hartmann who has talked about how people attack him for taking a private jet over the years to various countries for various obligations as being part of the problem and not actually caring about tackling climate change. Swift's career has her traveling far more than him, though he's much older and has a longer history of those flights, however the point is it's something people who vouch for doing nothing in regards to climate change typically attack those who do when applicable.

TC might be attacking Swift in particular, however it is a talking point other people use to try and tear down those who talk about tackling climate change, yet don't commit to taking a bicycle everywhere they go and having a 0 carbon footprint in their life.

My understanding is the first to stop *at the intersection* is the first to go. The second to stop *at the interesection* is the second to go, etc. It doesnt matter if you stopped and theres someone directly ahead of you, you still have to stop at the stop sign one the person in front of you goes.

But I could be wrong because I posted this on my citys subreddit once and got downvoted to hell and got called an idiot.

That's correct. "right of way" comes into play when 2 people come to a stop at a very similar time, and you yield to the person on the right, which doesn't sound like it applies to TC, just saying. TC doesn't sound like they're in the wrong.

Taylor Swift isn't going to save the planet either. It's dumb and wasteful rich person bullshit, but she isn't going to change shit either.

Is she hypocritically hugging trees all the time and then doing this? I'm asking seriously. I know nothing of Taylor Swift beyond she's very popular and dating Travis Kelce

She's actually a pretty solid person politically, however I don't think any of that involves environmentalism/climate change.

Aligned with liberalism, Swift is pro-choice and an advocate of gender equality and LGBT rights and a vocal critic of racism, white supremacy, police brutality, sexism and homophobia. She criticized Trump's administration and Republican politician Marsha Blackburn, a senator representing Tennessee.

It was pretty funny how during the Trump years she was held up as "our Aryan goddess" by right-wingers and then she came out shitting on Trump and white supremacy. They got big mad over that.

Cigarettes curb your appetite and gives your mouth something to do other than eat when bored.

For actors there's a history of Hollywood and cigarettes for "looking cool", and I guess some who respect older actors want to emulate that.

I've yet to hear anybody or even see a meme on social media claiming Drake as the victor. I'm pretty sure I haven't liked any post related to the beef so my algorithm shouldn't be affected, and it's one-sided pro-Kendrick memes.

I'm not too knowledgeable about rap beef history so I could be wrong on this, however unless I'm wrong it seems like the most one-sided beef ever as far as public opinion goes.

Saw a social media post the other day about how "this school is now a Kendrick Lamar school", as in students were overwhelmingly talking about Kendrick's diss tracks and nobody is talking up Drake.

She had the best part of the speech and painted herself green and went as Te Fiti. The green accented makeup she used at first wasn't bad but when applying it, she ended up applying it all over her face, like a member of the Blue Man Group. The green paint was way darker than expected. She knew it was a mistake but took so much time she did the whole presentation in green face. She was reprimanded the next day.

I guess I could see the appropriation of Samoan culture, though I doubt it was her being green that was the problem (unless she was so dark green she looked black) and I don't see why she'd be arrested for it.

I simply do not believe that this number will be large enough to have any kind of tangible effect

Well there are people who think loss of Muslim support will cost him the election and I think he's likely to lose a lot more young people than Muslims in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Voters that stupid wouldn't have voted for Biden in the first place. The young twitter left voting bloc is, unfortunately, one of the most unreliable and useless ones there is. They could do a lot of good, but they'd rather stew in a broth of their own ignorant arrogance.

Well it is anecdotal from various callers I've heard call in mostly discussing the issue, however one was a woman talking about how her son in his late 20s is super political, never missed an election, and this time around he's all "I'll vote (for Biden) if I get around to it" and how all his friends planned to vote for RFK Jr. That was just one example.

However, polling also shows the majority of RFK Jr's Dem-likely voters being younger people, if I'm not mistaken.

Oh, anecdotal here, but I met one.

Rather, a young (would estimate low-20s in age) dude who's doing a campaign to get signatures to get RFK Jr. on the ballot in Texas.

We had a chat.

Him: "We're doing this because we're in need of a viable third-party candidate."
Me: "I can agree with you on that point, though remember, one, the deck is stacked against any third parties in the first place, and two, the other major one is that RFK is not the guy to be on the ballot."

Proceeded to explain some of the nonsense RFK had said which the guy did concede to. I wasn't mean about it, just being informative enough.
Still might have deflated him a bit, though.

And that's the best way to handle it. For those who heavily follow politics I think they grossly overestimate how informed the general electorate is. Most people who plan to vote RFK Jr. have likely never even heard him speak, let alone know where he stands on the issues. He's seen as the "option to vote for where you don't have to vote for the greater/lesser of two evils", while seemingly ignorant to the fact that actually RFK Jr. is pretty fucking evil himself and has some views worse than even Trump. As the generations go on I see a greater yearning for more than the 2 party dichotomy and a refusal to accept that it's the shitty system this country is stuck with without some major overhaul.

Another way of arguing for Biden is by not making it about Trump v Biden, but Fascist autocracy v Democracy, because if Trump wins there won't be any 3rd parties anyways or even Dems to bitch about.

I think the issue is more if they suddenly lose their job or the father leaves them. I don't know, that might be just as rare, but it seems like more of a possibility than just randomly changing their mind.

No woman who plans to have a child, who goes through 9 months of the effects it has on her body, will just get rid of it for something superficial like that. Carrying a fetus that long is a commitment and demonstrates they want the child. Women who get an abortion that late is because something went wrong with the pregnancy and it becomes a necessity. It's a ridiculously low amount of women who get 3rd trimester abortions because they're done out of necessity, not desire.

I just can't comprehend a scenario where a potential Biden voter would switch their vote to RFK Jr. of all people

Well it's happening. Biden's handling of Gaza in particular has pissed a lot of the younger generation off and turned them away from him.

Any defendant who hears a judge say that and thinks for a second that theres no way they go to jail is a fool.

My guy, you and I both have seen how ridiculously lenient the judicial system has been to Donald Trump. Even before he was POTUS he skated by on being a rich white male, post Presidency it's that x100. The only fools are those who think Trump will be held to the same standards as anybody else when we've literally already seen that's not the case.

I'm hoping Merchan finds his spine and ends Trump's bullshit, however even Chutkan has given Trump leniency I doubt she'd give anyone else.

Maybe a new trial might be preferable so we can get a new judge and a jury that doesn't have a MAGA plant in it.

I dunno, Merchan has been one of the most fair judges Trump has had, he's just starting to drop the ball now that Trump's trying to call his bluff on jailing him. Yeah it's ridiculous that a dude who only gets their news from Trump Social and Twitter is on the jury, that does worry me. I guess all we can do is hope they have some sort of integrity.
