"Stronger themes". What does that even mean?

ethnostates are prosperous and relations with external nations causes political strife

I always want to get more into WH40K but its problematic elements keep me back. Those elements being its overt male dominance, lack of people of color, and often forgetfulness of its satirical and tragic element and instead gleefully delighting in its setting.

Scorsese directing a DC movie needs to happen. Directors for DC movies get more freedom it seems so would love to see what he could give us. Plenty of options to go the crime thriller route.

Plus the ERA meltdowns it would give us  :noah :rejoice

Quote from: kirblar
I really wouldn't use "hero" to describe a Ron Paul fan who didn't seem to have a problem with any policies until a black guy took office.

Quote from: Kirblar Siamese account
Did Snowden ever say why he didn't do anything like this doing George W Bush administration? Whistleblowing is necessary for any party who breaks the law, but Snowden's only doing it when a black Democrat in office deserves a side eye. It's not like Bush wasn't doing bad shit in office.
Snowden didn't start working as a subcontractor for the NSA until 2009.

It's actually not surprising at all that ResetEra isn't concerned about totalitarian mass surveillance and censorship without any real oversight. It's actually in line with how they run their own forum.

What is surprising is that they're not rooting for the PRC.

Didn’t Apple tell the gov to fuck off though? Like a lot of what Snowden was saying was about them being able to track and trace iPhones, but when they couldn’t even get into one I’m in two minds with just what ability they have to track you via your phone. I would imagine it would come from apps used but would be interesting to see how much they can do.

This is horseshit.

Look at all the things she's doing with her ankles and wrists that horses can't do. Look at the obvious advantage of human's jumping being entirely leg powered in the first place, she's not "jumping with her back legs" but her ONLY legs. Whole swaths of this is just performative imagery and not at all a fair reproduction of horse athletics.

This is why I'm posting instead of cooperating further with shosta's request that I shut the fuck up. :ufup

MOD ADMIRAL STATEMENT RELEASED FOR PUBLICATION:

Hello, fellow internet users. As you may know I oversee the work of the Mod Captains on website ResetERA.com. However, I have been derelict in my duties. As I have learned today an issue has gone unresolved for ten days with no action by myself, or the Mod Captains who operate under me, nor our allies on the Staff. In the interest of disclosure I will now draw attention to this grave error I have committed.

This post made on October 13, 2019 by Bronx-Man was deemed to be a racist joke and as such he/they/xhe were banbed as appropriate: https://www.resetera.com/threads/october-wrasslin-ot-slow-news-month.144363/post-25405005

However, as of this moment, and for the last ten days this ban has not been properly recorded but instead remained as "duration pending" as seen here:


This is not the type of standard I wished to set when I accepted the position of Mod Admiral to save the tanking ship left in the wake of Kristoffer's rampage over his final days. It is not the standard I wished to set when SweetNicole, BronsonLee, Professor Beef and other moderators passed from this world into the afterlife. And nor is it the standard I wished to set when shinobi602, ZhugeEX and Finale Fireworker chose to abruptly cut ties with the largest independent video game forum on the internet as measured by traffic.

I take full responsibility for this grave error and hope that you, our valued and highly respected seekers of productive discussion, can find it in your large and tolerant hearts to forgive the Mod Captains for failing to inform me of their complete and utter failure. Along with any other moderators and Staff who also failed to bring this to my attention. But now is not the time to assign blame to these thirty some people who have failed, no, it is time for us to move on and I am doing that by taking full responsibility for not being aware that those under my watch are incompetent and likely ugly as well. Almost as ugly as shinobi602's ugly racist son.

But recriminations and blame shifting will get us nowhere. True, the Staff and Mod Captains are absolutely to blame but we cannot hold that against them for they are a simple people. No, I take full responsibility and in accordance with that full responsibility that I am taking I will be placing myself on leave with full overtime pay for as long as necessary to learn the lesson that one cannot trust those who have failed him repeatedly.

I thank you for your time, your patience and your continued support for my Mod Admiralship. Do not worry, Bronx-Man's ban will be updated, possibly to permanent, as soon as my orders are received. And I promise to do everything in my power to continue to allow the Staff to make themselves look foolish in their incessant, irrelevant and nonsensical pursuit of designing an iron maiden for their userbase.

Thank you, and may god bless America, and may god bless the armed freedom fighters who resist Eastern Canadian tyranny in all matters. Death to the Quebecois, inshallah.

To the REEEsetera mods who read this...I just want you to know that you are absolutely shit at doing your (unpaid) fucking job and you should probably just end it all right now.

Do the world a favour and do it in a forest so that your rotting corpse can fertilise a tree. That way you can achieve more for combating climate change in death than you ever did in life while cooped up in your parents basement yelling at people on the internet.

But now is not the time to assign blame to these thirty some people who have failed, no, it is time for us to move on and I am doing that by taking full responsibility for not being aware that those under my watch are incompetent and likely ugly as well. Almost as ugly as shinobi602's ugly racist son.

But recriminations and blame shifting will get us nowhere. True, the Staff and Mod Captains are absolutely to blame but we cannot hold that against them for they are a simple people. No, I take full responsibility and in accordance with that full responsibility that I am taking I will be placing myself on leave with full overtime pay for as long as necessary to learn the lesson that one cannot trust those who have failed him repeatedly.

I thank you for your time, your patience and your continued support for my Mod Admiralship. Do not worry, Bronx-Man's ban will be updated, possibly to permanent, as soon as my orders are received. And I promise to do everything in my power to continue to allow the Staff to make themselves look foolish in their incessant, irrelevant and nonsensical pursuit of designing an iron maiden for their userbase.

Thank you, and may god bless America, and may god bless the armed freedom fighters who resist Eastern Canadian tyranny in all matters. Death to the Quebecois, inshallah.

END TRANSMISSION.
Liked for correct usage of inshallah, alhamdullilah.

The Gerstman 8.8 in the nerd world shit just never ends does it? MY god. No. 5 out of 10? HOw could this be?

Who gives a shit neeeeeeeeeerds. If you liked it then why care if someone else didn't? Plus Horizon got fantastic scores all over the place. As if one below average score means something (well maybe a bonus for devs who have to have 85 or more for the games metacritic score, but that's more of the publishing company being anal and vidya development is a bit of a clusterfuck around many companies)

If he's 44 now, then this dude was 21 when the PS1 came out. This isn't even some childhood carryover fanboyism. He may well have been a PS stan for his entire adult life.

So recently (well, since he was elected, really) I've been seeing this recurring theme in political threads that it doesn't matter what the Democrats do, Trump is going to win re-election next year for sure and nothing we can do will change that. As someone who was overly-optimistic in 2016 that Clinton would defeat him, I totally get approaching with caution, but... really?

Now sometimes when these bold declarations are made, the person who stated it doesn't back it up with anything, though other times they will point to something that confirms their view - the economy, or polling numbers. I understand that not everyone is like the PoliEra regulars, who breathlessly hang onto every poll that gets released and keep up with new developments 24/7. But I thought it'd be interesting to gauge what drives these viewpoints (other than just general pessimism, which... yeah, things suck right now), and maybe I can even brighten some outlooks by pointing out that it might not be all that bad.

First, here's what the electoral map is looking like in 2020, courtesy of Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball:

(Image removed from quote.)

It's hard to quibble with this at the moment - Sabato assigned the race ratings based on the assumption that 2020 will be a fairly close election. In his write-up of the initial ratings release, Kyle Kondik (the site's editor) acknowledged that making Michigan a Lean D state might be jumping the gun, but said the same of putting Florida down as Lean R (despite the disappointing result in 2018, it's still hosted some very close elections going back to 2010, each election year since featuring at least one marquee race that's decided by about one point or less). There's no indication that Trump has actually gained in any of the states that Clinton won in 2016 - his path to re-election basically requires him to repeat his 2016 performance almost perfectly. Pennsylvania is probably the linchpin to his strategy here - he could lose Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona but still win if he holds everything else - but it would probably sooner come down to whether he can win Wisconsin and Arizona, both of which would probably stay red before Pennsylvania does (despite his winning margin in PA being slightly larger in 2016).

But sure, that doesn't acknowledge whatever strengths and weaknesses the Democratic nominee will bring with them a year from now. It's easy to say that the nominee will be one of Biden, Sanders or Warren. It's almost impossible to predict, however, what developments will occur during the campaign outside of some very broad generalities (Warren and Sanders will definitely have more trouble attracting some right-leaning independents than Biden would, while Biden will likely make several silly gaffes on the campaign trail). However, I have seen some people suggest that Trump is outright leading all of the candidates, right now, which is patently untrue. In fact, RealClearPolitics' polling aggregates feature Biden leading by 6.3%, Warren winning by 5.4%, and Sanders posting a six-point lead. It's been pretty rare that Trump has led any of the candidates in national polling at all - there are five polls conducted since his initial election where he's beaten Warren (and five ties), two where he beats Sanders, and just one where he beats Biden. Polls are of course a snapshot, and no one is saying that these numbers will be the exact same a year from now, but it makes about as much sense to assume those leads would increase as it does to assume the Democrats will deflate. Biden, Sanders and Trump are all known quantities, and Warren's awareness has been getting up there as well. Democrats also post a 7-point lead in the generic congressional ballot, which suggests the eventual nominee will have a favorable environment to run in.

The only other really compelling point I've seen is that the economy is still good, and true, in past elections "is the economy good? then the incumbent will sail to re-election" has generally been a good rule of thumb. I'm inclined to believe that won't hold up next year though. For one thing, there is no guarantee that the economy will still be good by the time voters cast their ballots, but more importantly, Trump's approval ratings are atrociously bad. The only way a good economy seems to be benefiting him is by keeping his numbers from becoming even worse. By contrast, Reagan, Clinton, Bush and Obama all went into their re-election campaigns with positive approval ratings - in a presidential race featuring an incumbent, it is the single-most useful metric in determining whether a president will be re-elected. Carter and HW Bush were viewed negatively, both due to the economy as well as other factors. Trump is viewed negatively independently of how well the economy might be doing right now. If we do slip into a recession, you can probably expect things to get that much worse for him.

The only thing Trump seems to have going for him is foreign disinformation campaigns, which... well, yeah, you've got me there. However, the reason that was so effective in 2016 was because it aided a decades-long smear campaign waged against Hillary Clinton by the Republican Party. The inclination towards hating Clinton was already there, the Russians just helped. And it's worth pointing out that it can be reasonably assumed that Clinton only lost the election due to the last-minute release of the Comey letter. If not for that, she very likely would have won, given the direct effect it had on her polling numbers nationally as well as in the crucial swing states, regardless of her issues as a candidate and whether or not she campaigned in certain states.

This ended up being a lot longer than I thought it would be (narrator: it wasn't), but I figure I'd get a few talking points out of the way in anticipation of some of the most obvious rationales for why Trump will win. I'm leaning towards him losing at this point, just based on everything I outlined above, but I of course can't say that with absolute certainty. I probably won't even do that on election night until the minute it's called for his opponent.

That being said, remember the prophecy:

(Image removed from quote.)

While midterm results are never exactly 1:1 with presidential (see the predictive power 2010's elections had over 2012, i.e. none), 2018 was unique in that its turnout came in just below presidential levels, and Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan all going hard blue in a high turnout election should scare the shit out of any Republican strategist.

(and this picture is outdated: Democrats did indeed win the Congressional vote in Arizona, and held the GOP margin under five points in Georgia, Ohio and Montana. They also probably would have won the Congressional vote in North Carolina, had Walter Jones in their 3rd district faced a Democratic opponent)
