I dont know his situation, so Im not sure I can tell OP not to kill these wild rats, but enjoying it and using glue or a stick to bash them seems very inhumane. --- ... |
| Topic | Bill Burr savages CNN as 'un-American pieces of shit' who want Trump for ratings |
| Lorenzo_2003 07/19/21 3:03:13 PM #66 | monkmith posted... yes, lets ignore him like everyone tried to do in the 2016 primary, that'll work out real well... Every news agency was obsessed with Trump once he declared he would run. Talk show hosts like Colbert and Oliver trashed him relentlessly and even taunted him before his declaration, but all that negative publicity was embedding him in the publics mind. Nobody was ignoring Trump. He was a goldmine for the media and comedians. Bill Burr is right. --- ... |

| Topic | Marvel's executive vice president: "more gays are coming" |
| Lorenzo_2003 07/19/21 3:53:23 AM #49 | ZannoL posted... Did you ever think this would happen 10 years ago? Yes, 100 percent. Id say even before that because there were already characters here and there who were gay or bi. Midnighter from The Authority is probably my favorite character, who happens to be gay, and they were very open about his sexuality in the early issues at least. That was like 20+ years ago. I did think that the inclusion of many gay characters wouldnt happen until it was much more widely accepted, though. These comic book companies are mainly interested in sales IMO, so them waiting shouldnt surprise us. --- ... |

| Topic | I'm legitimately terrified at the idea of Republican wins |
| Lorenzo_2003 07/18/21 10:27:10 PM #249 | Umbreon posted... Diversity from the party who really wants people who don't look and think like them to go away.... Both parties have been guilty of this, though. There are non-conservatives, even on this board, who think you should be silent on a lot of issues if you arent POC. In other words, you have to look a certain way to have a voice. Luckily, I am a minority, so I get to keep talking. But if you dont have the same views as them, youre also in danger of losing your job, getting kicked out of school and so on. Here on CE, its common for people to insist you should be banned for having a different opinion. De-platforming is another popular suggestion for podcasts. Thats straight up advocating for censorship, so implying its only one side that wants to get rid of people who don't look and think like them is kinda silly. --- ... |

| Lorenzo_2003 07/17/21 5:42:48 AM #42 | Payzmaykr posted... Capitalism existed for the boomer generation and they made bank from doing the same jobs that pay $15/hr now. We are the generation where capitalism started falling, though. Capitalism isnt failing. Its doing what its designed to do. You probably just haver a different expectation of what thats supposed to be. Capitalism is how you can have a badass IPhone in your pocket, which has access to the internet and works as a multimedia platform, on top of making phone calls. Capitalism is also how we can have movies like the Avengers that blow our minds and employ hundreds of employees or companies like Amazon that can deliver. overnight just about whatever you need or want on a whim. Capitalism makes it possible so many choices of foods inside our markets that the decision of what to get for dinner can feel overwhelming. --- ... |

| Lorenzo_2003 07/14/21 1:19:40 PM #34 | LightHawKnight posted... You do realize that the past year, anti-asian hate went up by 150% right? And overall hate crime decreased a bit. Look what the post was in response to. They claimed the direct cause as Trump, which Im not even sure how you would prove causality of a pool of crimes to any specific person. Also, is that statistic released from the Feds? Im only aware of their 2018-2019 data. And where was that increase from? If were going to tie it to a specific person, namely a politician, I find a proposed connection questionable if incidents are mainly occurring in a voting area that doesnt support said politician anyway. --- ... |

We need to stop Asian hate, they're good people in this country Lol, no. Anti-Asian sentiment has always existed and Id say has been the most accepted of the prejudices.

I might be misremembering this, but I believe Roger Ebert once said he was disappointed that most Sci Fi movies use the typical settings of deserts and hills to depict alien worlds, and they dont really present alien races as being different. Sagan joked that they didnt at least use other potential skin colors in Star Wars, but it seems clear that he disapproves of human characters, whether they are white or not. --- ... |

| Lorenzo_2003 07/13/21 1:57:54 AM #20 | Glob posted... Halle Berry is not allowed to receive praise for anything related to comic books thanks to her role in Catwoman. I respect Halle Berry, for the most part, but she talked shit about playing Storm, basically saying that she shouldnt be reduced to playing Comic characters. Its not like I dont get her wanting to do bigger things, especially being an Oscar winner, but it still felt elitist and was disappointing as a fan. She later backpedaled on her comment, but you cant unsay some things. --- ... |

You can reduce a lot of stress with the one campfire and especially if your party has good stress reduction skills that affect more than one member. Long dungeons give a lot of gold, if you take an Antiquarian, but I dont like how much stress they can build up unexpectedly. --- ... |

Someone who is comparable to this guy? Im not really sure. There are so many episodes and my guess is that he hasnt had a guest yet who is extreme left.

Okay so for the sake of argument, what extreme left/socialist/etc people has he had on to give the appearance of "giving a platform to all sides"? It would depend on what we consider left, as there is a bit of gatekeeping and No True Scotsman that often is applied to it. Add in the qualifier of extreme, and we further narrow the field. For example, Bernie Sanders, Cenk Uygur, Russell Brand and Henry Rollins have appeared on the podcast. Do they qualify as left? --- ... |
| Topic | Conservative RAGE after a LITTLE KID Ripped Up the AMERICAN FLAG!! |
| Lorenzo_2003 07/11/21 9:54:47 PM #16 | QueenCarly posted... Teaching that America is about racism, slavery, and exploitation of the working class. Nah, thats misleading. The US certainly used racism, slavery and exploitation to achieve its standing, but it is not about those things. It simply has ideals that it hasnt fully lived up to yet, plus every generation keeps redefining what exactly those ideals are and how to achieve them. If this werent true, we would never see it continuously evolving into a nation that a lot of people from other countries are willing to risk life and limb to become a citizen of. Theyd avoid it like the plague. Keep in mind that, yes, it is absolutely important to teach the history of the US to its citizens and, yes, not everyone wants to immigrate to the US. But its also no coincidence that the countries you do hear people wanting to live in, such as Canada, Australia, Germany, England and so on, are quite similar to the US, as in having a very troubled past they had to overcome and a democratic government that has its economy powered by regulated capitalism. --- ... |

If shes a regular chick walking down the road nobody would even look twice. Wat? No way. Shes statuesque with dark features and a symmetrical face. She gives a slight smile and her whole face lights up. Most people dont have that ability. Only thing shes lacking for sure is curves, but people would definitely look.
