I can at least respect your consistency with this belief I would assume jakyl's lack of understanding has to do with the fact that people aren't consistent with caring for animals in pain. If they were we would have more outrage about factory farming so it seems like people generally speaking are very inconsistent. --- Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |

Since it came up in the last topic, yes, LFF can affect ranked choice voting because different orders of elimination lower down can result in different winners. This is why AV is flawed but STV fixes this issue by having multiple winners. Did they have more than 3 candidates? Its possible with a very large field but in 3 candidates lff can't exist. --- Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |

Yeah, that was a major flaw with the program (though there was probably a tradeoff between reducing fraud and getting the money out ASAP to prevent job loss). Anyone who was the beneficiary of fraudulent PPP loans wouldn't have a leg to stand on here. But I don't think college debt forgiveness is a fair comparison to legitimate PPP spending. As someone who received way more than 10k in ppp you're full of **** on this lotm --- Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |

| Samurai7 07/11/22 5:40:37 PM #53 | oneofcircles posted... For me, it's a dissatisfaction with not having a political party that fits with my values. I want climate action and universal healthcare, but I also support gun rights and traditional family values. Traditional family values from the party that pays porn stars hush money and is on their 3rd wife.

| Topic | Am I the only one surprised Tom Cruise beat Marvel? |
| Samurai7 07/11/22 7:38:09 AM #82 | It has more to do with percieved big releases and marketing than the number of movies. I said feel for a specific reason. Because it pivotal isn't true but that's what perception I'm given. Almost all the marketing for movies that I see is marvel. There's pretty much always a marvel movie in the cinemas. When I was younger it felt like a whole bunch of different types of movies were in theaters, and now it does not. And there are a lot of marvel movies that are considered blockbusters. I don't know that there are very many 'blockbusters' that aren't marvel movies released anymore. Relative to the number of marvel anyway --- Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |

| Samurai7 07/10/22 7:17:51 AM #63 | For me personally it's not that 12 hours is a terribly long investment, but more of that it feels like these are the only movies marketed to me and such a large portion of the movies being made. It feels like there's a lack of variety on the market as movies become more and more homogenized and marvel is a part of that. --- Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |

No savvy conservative wanted this outside of salt-mining from The Most Annoying People In The World, which even that isn't fun anymore if you have enough brain-cells.

| Topic | Do you agree with private companies sanctioning Russia? |
| Samurai7 03/09/22 1:03:43 PM #15 | Lightning Strikes posted... Yes, though it has to be somewhat on a case-by-case basis, those saying the citizens will demand better! are neglecting the fact that authoritarian regimes do not care what the general population thinks. Weve already seen huge protests in Russia that are being cracked down on. Russia is an oligarchy with a dictator. If you want change you ultimately need to target them. So it is important you target the sanctions correctly. I mean... violent revolution by citizens is pretty much the only way authoritarian regimes end with an actual non puppet government --- Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |
