Agreed.

In 2016, there was some blame of "Bernie bros" that refused to vote for Hillary and brought Trump to power. But I really don't think there were THAT many of them. Not enough to make a difference.
I read somewhere awhile back more Bernie supporters voted for Hillary than Hillary supporters voted for Obama lol.

Also @Cubo de Sangre I wore a beret out and about the other night because I was laughing about how you said you imagine me in a beret.

Killed it.
 
You're just a fuckin' prick. You treat people like shit for no reason whenever I see you post.

I've got nothing more to add. Final word is all yours.

lolz @ saying this after you keep quoting posts from elsewhere to here. and after accusing me of shit you couldn't support with ONE single instance. after calling for backup from here because you were (and clearly are) butthurt.

after trying to go captain obvious and then even fucking that up.
 
lol at me getting "backup" in the Lounge. Unlike some posters, I don't have a group that automatically takes my side. :(

I moved the comment to the lounge since it seemed like the sort of tangent that we're encouraged to bring here.
Indeed. Nor do I, contrary to the popular belief of many. The likes of Trotsky and Jack, for example, are as likely to gang up against me as they are to back me up on something. OT posts go in the lounge and the lounge is for OT posts. Simple rule. It's not surprising to see that most of the people who often take issue with moving OT discussions here are also regularly getting carded--they can't follow a simple rule like that.
 
See, it wasn't an insult. It was intuition. :)

I’ll bet you’re a hoot at parties.
 
Yes 97 but he was Climbing and reaching his peak throughout the year. His peak was 98-99.

Bret deserves a lot of credit for the extra shove to put him over, I thought he was a magnificent heel and it's too bad he was already gone before the end of that year. He would've kicked Austin's ass IRL, even though he pretty much fucked him up in the soap opera too.

Bret could put anyone over. Legend.

They should never have let Bret leave. The WWF would’ve been so much better with Hart there during the attitude-Austin era. So many matches we missed out on. So many angles. The possibilities were endless.

Bret was a great heel.
 
"Usually" in relation to the times you comment, not the times the subject comes up. Pretty simple to grasp.

Has it ever happened? More than once, if so?

I never said shut twitter down. So yeah, that's untrue.

You said their speech should be limited and supported law changes that would shut them down as a practical matter, no? So this seems like some legalistic bullshit.

I'm not spinning it that way. I'm pointing out it's been done via the CRA, both in an attempt to discern how much of your stance is principled and how much of it is rationalization, and to establish that in practice the limiting of speech by a business for the greater benefit of society is not a black and white issue.

I disagree that allowing black people to have their rights protected and supporting freedom of speech are contradictory. I have a principled belief that everyone should have their rights protected, especially their right to speak freely.

I didn't type that. You did. I'm sorry you missed the point.

In what way do the statements meaningfully differ?

But I didn't defend the actions of the politicians, nor was my comment reliant on your view on guns. That particular topic was just an example of you dismissing concerns over something because (like in this case) the legislation did not pass. Which is relevant to any complaints you have on the lack of outcry from whoever you seem to be holding to the standard of needing to comment on the GA story. I shouldn't need to explain that to someone claiming to be above my level.

Like I said, you sandwiched a half-hearted condemnation of a clear attack on free speech between whataboutism and an irrelevant point. You're also giving the Georgia house a pass because the state senate didn't take it up. I think that, like your defense of limiting social-media companies' rights to criticize Trump, demonstrates that your commitment to the principle of freedom of speech (as opposed to just defending the freedom for people to agree with you) is not very strong or non-existent.

You understand there's a difference between how you feel about something and what's legal, right?

Yes.

And that what's legal is most certainly relevant, yeah?

To what? I'm saying that specifically trying to use the law to retaliate against a company because the CEO expressed a political opinion that the state house disliked is an attack on freedom of speech (it's actually similar to the way you supported gov't retaliation against Twitter). You're doing an awful lot of distracting considering that you claim to also oppose the action. You can see why one would question your sincerity here, can't you?

Seems like you didn't want any discussion on this. You just wanted to vilify some mysterious group, spike the football, backslap with your chums, and do a victory dance.

??? I'm discussing it.
 
I gave this post a like, but Captain Pedantic demands that I point out an "if a then b statement" is not, in and of itself, something you can contradict or dispute without additional information/context. Before it means anything to me, I'd need you to show that b does not follow logically from a or that a or b is objectively false, or in this particular case, that the conclusion that b follows from a is contradicted by Cubo's latter claim ITT. Now, perhaps that has all been shown and I missed it, but if so, I'd ask that you reiterate it for my edification since I'd like to confirm my intuition that what you're saying is correct and I've found it impossible to keep up with lounge threads lately. I hope that makes sense--otherwise I may have smoked too much pot today.

I'm not following you here. Can you fill in the blanks and elaborate a little?
 
Are we really trying to draw the CRA into a Section 230 discussion? Really?

<23>

To be honest, I think 230 is also irrelevant, except to the extent that misunderstanding of it makes some people feel more justified in arguing against free speech.
