I’m using the app’s built in video player and I guess it didn’t recognize the time stamp. I wanted to give people an idea of the context because I think it’s worth a watch. I’ll give that timestamped portion a watch later.

The title of this video is “An Anarchistic Watches West Wing” or something similar. I only watched 20mins but it was good so far. It’s a criticism of the American Capitalist system, American Democracy (power of the president, presidential hero worship), etc. via the way it’s portrayed in the West Wing.

There’s not a mechanism for it.
Democrats can name anyone as candidate at the convention in August. Biden being the candidate isn’t official yet.

Which is poor gun handling, but I’m not sure you could get your licence taken away for it.

I agree, honest media is out there, but you have to seek it. Corporate media is out for your eyeballs at any cost and will exaggerate, diminish, and outright lie if they can get more views, and is incredibly biased generally.

I know that’s true, but we have to devise plans to fight back against this. How could we fight against misinformation from the ruling class and their control of the media?

I think the bois, much like “spider crickets”, get a lot of flack because their legs are TOO DAMN LONG! They’re cool dudes, but something about those weirdly long legs…

Mr. Bizkit will not be taking questions regarding the reasoning behind his analysis and has, in fact, become quite agitated.

But they defer to the states in legal states.

Crossing state lines is interstate commerce, and that is federal jurisdiction.
- Comment on Pearls Before Swine creator Stephan Pastis breaks 25% of the law. 1 week ago:
However, he is crossing 3 state lines in the process, breaking federal law.

Again, depends on the dogma. There are faiths which believe that people who are ignorant of the Gospel, of Jesus, do not get into Heaven.

Oh does this mean we can change all those _ _ _ _ baby jokes into labor baby jokes? What’s better than a baby working in a factory? A baby working in two factories!

I’m sorry, but a mental health day is a sick day, and if my mental health is helped by going to the beach, that’s my business.

- Comment on Ok. Which one of you has been annoying the teacher? 1 month ago:
Same. I still like the characters and the personalities the fandom built around them, but the show hits different now. That’s why I like shows like Adventure Time and Steven Universe because they already had a more “mature kid” kind of spin, less black and white morality, even though they still tended to make enemies friends in the end.

Your comment is confusing me.
While I agree that Ticketmaster is a fucked up monopoly,
Implies that what you’re going to say next is something that either excuses them or is worse than them, but you go on to say:
the only one fucked were those buying tickets.
Which, imo, is true but does not follow the logic of the “while” statement.
Then you go on to say:
Taylor will easily survive another day; those that sold their pancreases for a seat…not so much
Which makes me think you are blaming Taylor Swift for Ticketmaster’s prices, or at least saying that she is complacent in some way. But the point is the prices were set by Ticketmaster, and padded with exorbitant fees that Taylor had no control over.

Thanks, maybe I’ll give it a try. I jumped on the brony bandwagon years ago (though I’ve let that go now) so I’m keen to give the new things a fair shot.

I’ve been told (by a zoomer) all the zoomer love for the series is ironic. Do you think that’s true?
- Comment on The Lie That's Destroying the Economy - Adam Conover 1 month ago:
But competition would force these middlemen to make their services better, lower prices, etc. This whole comment doesn’t get to the heart of this matter, regardless whether ticket master is a scapegoat, the ticket selling industry would be better off if there was more competition.
Also, isn’t it still wrong of companies like ticket master to bully artists with their top-down control of venues and promoting?

“So,” said Arthur, hoping he wasn’t sounding ridiculously obtuse, “why don’t people get rid of the lizards?” “It honestly doesn’t occur to them,” said Ford. “They’ve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they’ve voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.” “You mean they actually vote for the lizards?” “Oh yes,” said Ford with a shrug, “of course.” “But,” said Arthur, going for the big one again, “why?” “Because if they didn’t vote for a lizard,” said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in.” Douglas Adam’s _The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy _
