    I like that Ororizzi takes to heart his own wildness and its capacity to harm others, shows integrity, especially after such a poor performance.

    Glad you guys are bro-ing out, but he's not right at all. This false equivalency needs to be put to bed. No Bernie supporter drove a car through people. There's not any socialist out there committing mass murder. Bernie isn't out there saying white supremacists are nice people to. The comparison is shamefully inaccurate, so let's just stop.

    Random early season fact for the game thread:

    Good for Polanco. Despite the first inning this has been an entertaining game.

    Enjoy your weekend, bro.

    It's more like don't throw rocks if you live in a glass house. I haven't seen any histrionics coming from the Dems (Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, have been straight-laced and serious); it's a baseless accusation that is more applicable to the other side.

    I just don't social media and empathy in the real world are mutually exclusive. I had breakfast at a counter today, and had conversations with people on either side of me. I talk with people in grocery stores all the time. Some of it is the culture of the place we are in. Tucson, not unlike Minnesota, has a "Tucson-nice" thing. And I think in big cities, for whatever reason, tend to be more insular. I think all kind of engagement in each other is important, whether online or not. Real life matters more, but I think many of the people interacting online, wouldn't necessarily be interacting irl if the internet didn't exist. I think a lot of anti-social people find a voice and make connections online that they simply wouldn't otherwise. (I'm not one of those people).

    Look, you want me to disprove your non-fact hyperbolic opinion about the Democrats being drama queens? I don't think you're interested in facts or in proof.

    Stupid, stubborn and loyal like a Stark. He's stupid for not lying to Cersi, but it's also those qualities that make people follow him, without those traits he's probably not King of the North.

    And Trump and the GOP are so drama-free. Come on, man.

    Sure, there's a downside. But I think you're romanticizing the past in terms of social interaction in public spaces, and often the people that we talk to were indeed like us, at least geographically, economically, culturally. For instance, without the interwebs, none of us would know each other, and quite a few us know quite a bit about each other's lives that we would otherwise would not. Maybe to everyone else we're all just a bunch of soulless avatars, but not to me. When a poster hasn't posted for a while, I worry. And I'd like to think the feeling is mutual. Sure, we spend too much time on our screens, but I think that has less to do with social media or even the internet, and more to do with that we have a computer in our pocket; it has do with technology not global communication. That said, I understand where you are coming from.

    I think what we are doing now, is a good start. Having a conversation with respect for others ideas, is good start on the path to empathy. Oddly, I think social media has allowed millennials to be more empathetic than other generations, as they stay in touch with each other beyond leaving school, share stories with strangers etc. Adult life prior to social media was one of isolation and involved interacting with those whom we are very much alike.
  14. PseudoSABR
    Uninteresting? Exhibit A: ASTUDILLO.
  15. PseudoSABR
    Sure, and there are good prosecutors out there who use their discretion and seek justice rather than mere conviction rates, but they are rare, and the institutional pressure is on the latter. I want to know more about what Harris did in her role as AG to curb the prosecution of drug offenses etc. Too many County Attorneys and Attorney Generals are running on conviction rates, even if they are Democrats, rather than reform, and I think that looks like a person who is operating with calculation rather than with values. As for Warren, I agree she didn't receive enough backlash at the time she was claiming to be Native American, but I think she's been pretty well put through the ringer these days.
  16. PseudoSABR
    As I said, I don't give Warren a pass on her cultural appropriation, but Harris has actual victims of her prosecution, like Biden has victims of his inappropriate touching (although I posted his response video, I am not at all satisfied with it; his touching is f-ing weird). Warren's harm is one of offense, which is real, but also one that isn't targeted to any one person. (Also my mother's family supposed as roots like this, and she tells the story not as one of identity but as one that she's proud that her family took in a person who was different from them; so I can understand how this kind of claim isn't necessarily ill-willed or even about appropriation of identity really; but clearly Warren's acts go beyond my mother's). And, this might be another personal take, but screw lawyers using prosecution as a launching pad for a political career, especially in the Democratic party.
  17. PseudoSABR
    Her claiming to be Native American isn't a good look, but I genuinely believe her that she (and her family) were proud of those roots, and she never benefited from those claims. I worry more about her Professorial elitism than I do about any insults thrown by Trump (which, really, only play to his base). Why I like her is that she's being bold and specific in laying out policy. Laying out lots of ideas about how to hold the uber-wealth and corporate powers responsible. Even today, she wrote an op-ed arguing for more criminal liability for corporate officers which I am all for. She also is passionate in a way that echoes Bernie, and I think she would experience similar enthusiasm.

    I'm pretty sure he was agreeing with you, but saying so with more disdain for the baby boomer's dislike of their own kids.
  19. PseudoSABR
    I like Buttigieg; he's very articulate, and he's young enough that I don't worry about any unseemly private interests. That said, being a Mayor is a great deal different than President; I do wonder what kind of people he'd surround himself with. I didn't really care for his take on college funding, but at least it was reasonable and grounded in values rather than how-do-you-pay-for-it. I'm ideal ticket these days might be Warren-Buttigieg, but that's evolving as we learn more about each candidate.
  20. PseudoSABR
    I'm not sure that I'll necessarily support Bernie, but he was the first Presidential candidate that spoke to my actual values (as a liberal), and didn't try to shoot for some calculated middle or come off as patronizingly elite. He didn't start negotiating at the 50-yard line, and rather had aspirational ideas. The same can be said for a lot candidates this time around, but at least with Bernie i know he isn't jumping on board with policy ideas because they are popular; he's authentic. I know that with Warren too (who honestly is much better at explaining how she'll pay for things).

    If it can be dispensed with relevance and humility, I'm all for it.

    If this came out on Monday...
