Way to get him killed, with all that talking. Unless you’re some kinda servant of chaos or something.

Could it be a blueprint for Democrats elsewhere?

Democrats elsewhere: “For messaging right? A blueprint for our messaging? Right?”

Celsius energy drinks.

I had a coworker evangelize about them so I decided to try them out. Every time I got one and tried it some complete random would come up ‘Hey! You like Celsius? Have you tried the [whatever] flavors? [Other flavor] is my favorite!’

I found them all gross.

See your brain went immediately to a solution based on knowing how something works. That’s not in the AI wheelhouse.

He can definitely be the face of the right. Let Asmongold be what people think of when someone airs those kinds of opinions.

There will be two main deflections by the ruling class for recouperation: faulting Garcia and criticizing UFW. Immigrant at fault, union bad.

Is Flayra not pursuing legal action against Krafton over this?

A bit, yeah. Same username then as today. I was with NSArmsLab and BAD Clan mostly those days.

Weird to think that was 20+ years ago.

I remember Flayra from Natural Selection, a half-life mod twenty years ago. I remember him making appeals for investors/donations to keep Unknown Worlds afloat (or maybe just launch it as a company. I recall a video he posted where he showed us his tiny apartment and the milk in his fridge.)

Then Subnautica came out years later and I thought ‘Well I’ll be damned.’

Putin’s power draws from his adversaries and foreign policy. He is very weak domestically, mostly at the behest of the oligarchs that run the entire domestic policy show.

Putin muscling around internally usually has to do with the oligarch’s stance on foreign policy or the other oligarchs are wanting to eat one of their own.

Obligatory response to this meme e’er time, “Sigh, if it’s on septic its massively expensive infrastructure the tenant will be held liable for 10/10 times, and will only render one less living space habitable. And if it’s on sewer it’s punishing the public’s wastewater treatment facility.”

Aand resume.

The last scraps of the warehouses are being empyied out.

Also with labor shortages even the product that gets harvested ends up languishing in poor storage at various stages before it reaches the store. Instead of a quick pickup with a refigerated semi, you’re getting vans a few hours late. The boxes sit in the field for longer, etc. (Anecdote from a berry farm in my area.)

It was a conversation from a year ago, so without context I believe I was speaking then about a viable strategy that worked: bringing a left wing policy (at the time healthcare reform) to the conservatives and red states.

The Democratic Party abandoned that strategy since. They still made overtures to appeal to conservatives and red states, but they’ve done it through adopting rightwing, divisive policies. And then they don’t even run a US Senate race is Nebraska.

Look, I know you’ve long ago tagged me the tankie and yourself as the chad, it’s whatever. But you need to stop calling yourself a shitlib.

At any rate the criticism in both cases is the rejection of those ‘empty land’ folks. It is consistent. I supported it then and I support it now. What I don’t support is then turning around and dismissing those people and states as empty land. This isn’t rocket surgery.

I think you don’t understand what I initially said in this thread here, and have taken that personally.

Finish the sentence and close the loop: “and then refer to Sanders support as ‘empty land.’” The comment makes sense as a complete thought. By cutting out the conclusion you definitely make it confusing.

…and did you just go through a years worth of my post history for a screenshot? I know you go through and downvote my post history, but man.

And yeah, I still support my own point, now and from a year ago, because I don’t dismiss the support as empty land.

What was the point of that?

Imagine relentlessly defending attempts to appeal to red states and conservatives as a viable electoral strategy, and then refer to Sanders support on this map as ‘empty land’.

They don’t but the word processing software they likely use autocorrects them in. What’s next, proper semi-colon use and Oxford commas means you’re a bot?

Spelling & Grammar tool just wreaking havok.

I just knew the comments were going to be us tearing each other apart.

That’d be point of re-re-re-rehashing this. Zohran Mamdani, using the big S word, recently won a primary. So now we all gotta go back and drag through this mud some more.

I think like seven people on the bus would fight to swerve towards the cliff if they were told China is on the edge of it.
