Just that they think that using house rules everyone agrees on is a great idea.

I can think of one or two times where house rules were appropriate, and a couple of dozen times where they broke the game. I think that you should only apply a house rule where 1) the game is already broken and 2) you’re reasonably sure that the house rule won’t break it further. It’s good for when an otherwise fun game is ruined by something that the game designers overlooked.

But then a woman might beat a man! Think of the horror! The shame!!

How would you get the numbers for a lottery that was 23 years ago?

Dig a hole in the ground and stick your head in.

I thought that they weren’t going to have hot mics?

How can you leave when they’re in your country?

No idea. I don’t see anything about it on the first page.

This was debunked back when it came up in 2017 (?) There’s a good article about it here. The summary is that Stein was there as a guest of RT (Russia Today), because they were one of the few news outlets that covered her candidacy. The Senate Intelligence Committee investigated her and found no wrongdoing.

A campaign spokesperson told Newsweek that Stein “attended at her own expense to spread a message of peace and diplomacy” and gave a speech in Moscow “in which she criticized the excessive militarism of both Vladimir Putin and U.S. leaders.”

Speaking to The Intercept in 2017, she said the notion that it was an “intimate roundtable” was “mythology,” and that Putin and his associates “weren’t at the table for very long.” Stein said that “nobody introduced anybody to anybody” and that she “didn’t hear any words exchanged between English speakers and Russians” due to the lack of a translator.

Stein said that Putin had appeared to make a speech and left immediately after. “Nobody cared to make introductions. This wasn’t intended to be a discussion of any sort,” she told the outlet.

Several weeks ago, AOC did a huge post about how Biden can’t be replaced because of back-room stuff that we don’t know about, and besides, the Republicans would sue and it would be a huge disaster, etc. Of course, she fell in line once Biden actually did get replaced. It’s hard to take her seriously with stuff like that.

I’m not at all surprised that Stein is more popular than Harris, but…DAMN, what did Cornel West do?!

The article says that previously Muslims supported Trump at 5% and Cornel West at 25%. Now they support Trump at 11% and West at 4%!

How does Donald Trump have almost 3 times the support?

What she actually said was that she would fight for a ceasefire and sovereignty for Palestine…but without a weapons embargo. This raises the question: If you refuse to use the only thing you have leverage on, what good is your support?

I don’t think that Harris has a plan. She might be more pro-Palestine than Biden, but without an embargo, she’ll be just as ineffectual. I don’t think that the US can do anything to stop the genocide except to quit sending Israel the money and weapons that they’re using to commit the genocide.

That doesn’t look very much like RFK.

I do not think musk is stupid but he is an idiot.

This is truly one of the observations of all time.

The area I lived in voted for a minimum wage increase several years ago. Tons of people were saying that it was a bad idea, because the businesses would just raise prices on everything.

Minimum wage increase passed. Prices didn’t change.

I think this is because minimum wage increases don’t happen in a vacuum. There are other things to consider. If your company raises prices, I’m going to go to a competitor who doesn’t. The idea that “they’ll just raise prices” assumes that all businesses will react to a minimum wage increase in the same way, and that’s not the case.

Can’t zoom in on an animated GIF. There’s no reason for that to be animated.

Fucking raise the minimum wage. The problem is that prices are rising but wages are remaining stagnant.

Where did I say that I wasn’t going to vote? I’m voting Green. If there’s a good Democrat running for Congress, I’ll vote for them, too. This isn’t complicated.

I live in a blue state. Using that same logic, my vote for a Democrat is a wasted vote, because my state is going to go blue whether I vote for them or not.

Surely you have a better way to spend your time.
