Just ran into the most thin-skinned college professor I've seen around here. Also had no idea why statistics are useful to people, which is fine, but you don't get to not understand it and be arrogant about it. But it happens when your day-to-day is students.
It is also true that McD has served at least 10 hamburgers today, but it's not a useful measurement. Usually, when you give a range, you give one that provides some insight. That's what makes it useful to report the range.
The response to "we'll be violent if you lock him up" is "yea, that's scary, but you're also violent if the coffee siren doesn't say Merry Christmas, so we've decided just to fight back."
It's really easy! And totally arbitrary! Another arrest would do it, let alone 3 more felony arrests totally 100 charges. Threatening public officials? No question. No legalistic "well he didn't exactly say..." No, you just get locked up. And that's wrong! And it's also wrong to exempt one person.
he also disparaged the former president’s professional background, exclaiming: “He’s a property developer, for God’s sake!”
You guys, he's just a failed art student! How can he be smart enough to be dangerous?
A lot of religious texts just talk about real things in symbolic ways (which is why Hugo's use of religion as symbol for reality is so powerful). For instance, the Antichrist is shrouded in mysticism, but it's just really about a guy like Trump.
I used to teach very basic crytography as part of my math classes, so I want to understand what happened, but there's no way I'm going to. I'm so glad I'm not teaching that anymore and getting questions on it.
I wake up most mornings in a rage that Ds in control of both chambers took no steps whatsoever to not seat/expel under 14a insurrectionists in their ranks. Big mistake to have chosen leadership based on seniority rather than seeking wartime leadership. We needed a war cabinet.
I think you're right about that, but the biggest strand will be a less buffoonish fascism. But that aside, that's not quite what I'm worried about. I'm worried about what lies beneath the power. If we control everything, but 35% want us dead and are violent about it, how does it work?
Yea, I agree. They're so post-truth that it doesn't matter that such a push entirely invalidates their primary anti-Biden argument. And their power is no longer tied to electoral outcomes. And they just threaten judges who won't go along anyway. I don't know what success looks like anymore.
I feel like we already lost. Even if Biden wins in 2024, which looks harder to do every day, does it matter? When this much of the population wants fascism, and this many will threaten whoever he wants threatened, how do we work as a county?
There's a certain logic out there that says, well, stupid libs care about preventing fascism, we don't, so nominate our person and the libs will vote for them, but we don't give a shit so we won't vote for a lib. Hostage-taker logic.
Yea, not arguing, just bemoaning. I had hoped these 4 years would be the time for so much, partly because no way they win either Chamber in 22 after That. I'm an idiot.
