I will simply change my vote on an hourly basis

I did cut the list down a bit, but Buffy was the only female on it, and honestly I can’t think of a great female tv character that I could have subbed in. We are greatly misrepresented, and honestly I basically control the remote in my household.

What?

Don’t go there Greg. I’m holding my tongue.

https://removery.com/tattoo-policies/military/#:~:text=The Army tattoo policy was,visible body tattoos are prohibited.

I mean, I get the reasoning behind it. Like you said they're huge identifiers. I see plenty of folks get arrested because of facial tattoos or neck tattoos giving them away.

It's especially important if you're in an anti-terror unit. Like the man in the picture. The newspapers should probably have blurred that tattoo or used a different photo.

Walter White is a horrible character. Such an idiot bitch that can’t quit when he’s ahead and actually care about his family which is why he started everything. So many stupid mistakes. Jessie was a better character.

Guess it shows that that feeling of power corrupts above all

Don Draper pls

Power corrupts.

He looks like a dork and that goatee doesn't help.

Don Draper pls

He wasn’t on the list that I stole from

As far as you Bernie/Biden experience goes, I completely believe it. In fact, I'd be really surprised if it was any other way since Bernie's major moment was a race against a female candidate and later competed closely against two other female candidates, one of whom made a pretty explosive allegation of sexism against him. Whereas Biden and his supporters (who are themselves much less active as participants in political discourse) have never been in that situation. I would personally predict that in, say, a contested race between Biden and AOC, you'd see far more sexism from centrist Biden supporters against the left-wing AOC than you saw from left-wing Bernie supporters toward Clinton. But that's conjecture.

I think it's a little deeper than that, though this is part of the story. Goes to my point about there being multiple factions. For example, I don't think it's widely appreciated, but people who opposed Clinton's nomination because they thought she was too far to the left were a big part of Bernie's support in 2016. They get completely written out of the discussion when it's portrayed as the left vs. moderates. So you did see a lot of hardcore sexism against Clinton, and then when it's pointed out, you get a lot of leftists (who are also leftists on social issues) assuming and then claiming bad faith. And around it goes. A general habit of a portion of the left (particularly people who identify with hatred of elected leadership of the Democratic Party) is hysterical accusations of bad faith.

Separately, I didn't think the allegation was very explosive. It was leaked that Bernie told her her gender was a fatal liability in the race, which Bernie denied and then she confirmed. That it's a disadvantage is a pretty widely held (and likely accurate, IMO) view. That it's an insurmountable one is clearly false, but also might be somewhat widely held, and the difference seems to be exactly the kind of thing that happens when you have two different people's memory of a private conversation.

I suspect I know what it might be about.

It makes me think about the SAS guy that stopped some terrorist thing in like Cairo or something a couple years back. Dude was wearing long sleeves and his entire face was covered.

TBF, even though the fifth season is probably the weakest he at least admits to his wife that what may have started as being about his family.... it became about him proving he was really good at it and it was never for the family at that stage.

I always got the feeling that it was implied the first batch or two was for him to get the family financially stable but after he first tried working with Tuco was when it changed for being about him proving how good he was.

Imagine giving me a power position though. Like website administrator.

You’d likely be wrong this time

I guess from those options I would go Omar

My real pick would probably be something animated - Cartman or Homer

Makes sense you would think the juggalo meth head was a better character than Walter White


It is a terrible opinion, but it makes sense why you hold it

 

[Tycho- Taylor's Version]

So make a better list!

Here is the post I am referring to https://forums.sherdog.com/posts/164310455/

I'm a very sensitive person by nature. You say I called you a hypocrite or claimed you were engaging in sexism but I don't remember doing that? If you can point me to that I would be curious.

Your first two posts together, between "writing off those criticisms as identity politics maybe misses the point" and then, in response to my view that left-punching claims of bigotry from places of great power are more often farcical than right-punching claims from places without power, the following "the issue the left has with the moderate wings discussion of identity is that the left wing is so by and large made up of white men who believe that class is more significant hurdle to get over than race," then the claims that the left has mistreated black voters, then the claims that the left appropriates black movements to work toward self-interested causes to the exclusion of black causes, and then "say the center left's identity claims are farcical but they are ironically actually coming from the identity groups that suffer the most," when I had at no point mentioned identity claims from anywhere but major politicians.

Responses to my beliefs and analyses that contain descriptions of the left's claimed bigotry, racial insensitivity, and exclusionary interests are hard to construe as anything other than an attempt to link my argument and beliefs to those prejudices.

I don't know how to quantify the experiences of sexism or examples of racism I have seen from people on the left in a way that would be suitable to you. If you mean to say that by virtue of those things coming from anonymous people on the internet they don't count that's silly. As an example take the whole of um oh fuck what is it called. That podcast with the assholes that is like brutally misogynistic but loves Bernie.

Chapo Trap House? I've never listened to their podcast, and I'd be surprised if they weren't much more woke or whatever than the average liberal, but I know their thing is "dirtbag leftism" or something like that, where they eschew liberal norms of discourse in favor of more populist working class dialects, i.e going low instead of going high. So that's definitely a language more conducive to sexism.

Probably makes more sense to separate animated and non-animated

No effort till I have what I want
