Yep. You have to stay out of the general subs and stay in the niche hobby/passion subs with good moderation.

We have to support each other, we're a dying breed 😞

"I thank him for doing so 💙"

This reeks of "Welcome to the resistance, George W. Bush!"

And consistent failure is really hard to deal with in roleplaying games! It's not like improv where it's funny or in theater where it just serves growth. Failure means you're potentially putting your friends' characters at risk. It means introducing stress to the game. There are mechanical stakes.

hell yeah

When I say "laughing" I mean he thought it was kinda funny that he wants Maduro overthrown just like Trump does but he doesn't like how Trump is doing it.

No it won't even get to that. This still would have to go through the Senate and then not get vetoed by Trump. The point of this is to force Trump to publicly block the release of the files because it will make him look even guiltier.

Trump's Treasury Secretary literally just let it slip that Epstein was "the biggest blackmailer in the world", even though at no point has the FBI under any president made that claim, even after Epstein was arrested.

See: Maxwell's father, Alex Acosta literally saying he was told Epstein was an asset, Giuffre saying in her book that Ehud Barak himself r*ped her, Lewis Black's story about being taken to Epstein's apartment while Epstein was meeting with Israel's Defense Minister. This was a blackmail operation.

It's not just that. It's that Epstein was working for Mossad. This isn't even a conspiracy theory at this point, it's just Occam's Razor.

"Can't be neutral on a moving train", as Howard Zinn said.

See: The ACA example used earlier. The majority of the ACA is a disaster. It has not significantly lowered healthcare costs, and thanks to the mandate being struck down, the core value proposition of it (lower costs and more coverage) will never take shape. What's pragmatic about that?

It's absolutely erroneous, yeah. Leftists believe we are pragmatic. Right wingers believe they are pragmatic. Centrists believe they are pragmatic. But only Centrists get popularly treated in the media like they're right, just because their policies are moored to the theoretical center.

tbf I did not ask for a centrist position that worked, so credit where it is due you did provide an alright example. But I don't really know all that many people on any part of the political spectrums who still think the ACA is a good solution.
