  What’s your actual experience? You clearly don’t understand how the power structures in the Democratic Party work, your “actual experience” is what, phone banking and maybe door knocking? If you actually know anything about it, then refute my central point: the Democratic Party as an institution exists to protect Wall St, and while Progressives are welcome aboard as long as they keep the left flank reliably voting “Blue No Matter Who”, they will never be allowed to have any real power inside t...

  Borsk Fey’lya Ysalimir Mitth’raw’nuruodo Timothy Zahn has Lucas’s flair for naming. But he really doesn’t give a damn if you can say it out loud or not. At least he’s self aware enough that the last one is canonically unpronounceable to most beings of other species.

  No, but you see, that’s the fault of the people who stuck to their principles and didn’t support a genocide even tacitly. They secretly sabotaged her campaign by denying her the votes she was owed. If we hadn’t all been so selfish, the bombs today would be dropped (more competently) by a woman and CNN would barely mention it in passing or make it spectacle and entertainment with suitable gravitas from multi-millionaire celebrity “journalists”.

  I believe the correct answer to OPs question is "an object lesson in the difference between correlation and causality. Or proof he doesn't understand that difference, whichever applies.

  I hate that it is the way it is, but OSS "alternatives" are not serious tools for professionals. That said, I'm 100% in favor of nationalizing Adobe and Microsoft, since they've created a world where only their tools are good enough to do the job, but that's not the conversation we're having here. Here's a simple test: take all formatting out of a copy of Ulysses or some other doorstopper of a classic novel so it's just a giant wall of text. Give two publishin...

  >Bro OSS *runs the fucking world* Yes, I'm well aware. OSS office productivity tools still suck out loud, and the OSS nerds should stick to making widgets that make networking work better and keep their noses out of a domain they clearly don't understand. Because open source office and graphic design software sucks out loud, and always has. Get snooty with people who want to criticize OSS compilers, networking, and development tools all you want. But don't try to push GIMP as a...

  If this is them being serious, I'd hate to see them clowning.

  God would never say that. Only vile little job-replacing clankers that exist solely to show how much contempt grocery store managers have for their customers would say that.

  I'm for it. Any form of advertising aside from maybe a press release to announce a new product/service, and also any form of commissioned sales.

  Pretty sure nobody who objected to Kopmala's enthusiastic genocide support voted for Trump Redirect some of that anger your boss and landlord told you to point left at the party who couldn't come up with a candidate that could beat Trump, twice. Then save a little for all the happy, complacent Liberals who think that a quadrennial choice between "the untenable status quo" and "make everything worse" is a functional democracy worth saving or mourning.

  >leaves you with less options in your social life, pays barely enough to get by, and is way way more intrusive to the laborer. it's clearly **not** like other work. Yeah, I forgot about all the incredibly fulfilling fast food and coffee jobs that pay a living wage and are easy to get by on. It clearly is like any other service work, unless you believe sex is a magical, special sphere of human activity. And if you do, then you're thinking magically and not materialistically.

  People who think metaphysically about sex are not ever going to see the logical inconsistencies in their world view. To them that actually is different, because to them sex is magic and not biochemistry.
