  1. Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    People always get hurt. It isn't perfect. But capitalism has mechanisms to whether inflation too. People are generally somewhat averse to changing jobs because they are trained and their car knows the way and there are various benefit incentives, but in difficult economic conditions people...

    I think they know that. Nobody is saying there has been DE-flation. Eggs, milk, and raw meat MIGHT go down a bit, but in general the best you can hope for is that the prices are not going to go up as fast. They don't go back down.
  3. Star Trek General Discussion

    Prodigy didn't sound like anything that would interest me when it was announced and I have paid little attention, but a Facebook post convinced me to give it a shot. It is a little off the beaten path for Star Trek, yes, but it is a pretty good casual Sci-Fi show and does have a lot of Star...

    The Republicans keep essentially getting away with saying the inflation was caused by "The Democrats' failed policies" and no one pushes them to identify the policies. I wish we could have that conversation. They sometimes go a little further and say all the spending. If they would explicitly...

    To at least some extent, his answer was "I'm not actually guilty of the things you dislike me for".
  6. Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    He was listening enough to know the topics and replied without getting angry, which again was strange. That question was NOT from someone who might vote for him, I'm pretty sure. But he didn't take the bait. Why couldn't he stay this cool with Kamala?

    I am really surprised by Trump's composure there. As the guy is asking the question, Trump is actually nodding.

    https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/16/politics/vance-trump-2020-election-results/index.html Vance is actually still toeing the line, not toeing the line. I wish someone would keep pushing here. Does he recognize the distinction between "Losing an election because information was hidden from voters"...

    You can do a lot with garlic and silver crosses, if I am following you.
  10. What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    If Trump got all of the stuff cleared out of the way so we would all be millionaires, I wonder if that would affect inflation.
  11. Inside Out 2 - Now on Disney+

    Again, these characters should have been presented as having their own correct place and anxiety just led them to go take over the control room as often happens around this age.

    I don't think I ever saw that stuff before.
  13. What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    If you listen to him and believe him, the cost of childcare isn't going to be relevant because of Chinese tariffs. How that money is going to get from their pockets back into their pockets isn't clear to me, but presumably the nation is just going to be so wealthy that we're not going to be...

    The other day when he said she was obviously very low IQ, I googled to see whether we actually have a public number on her IQ and it wasn't available, but I saw a lot of tweets and Reddits and stuff saying things like "She is 90 IQ MAX, probably lower" and I really don't know how people think...
  15. What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Trump has convinced a lot of people that the only reason they aren't millionaires is because government and regulation and whatnot has been holding them back. They vote for this guy because they know they are destined for more just like him.

    It was taught to me in French class as the French word for boredom, but I do see on Google that this was reductive.

    Yeah, I can get that. They definitely explored real anxiety.

    Okay. How many emotions does APA recognize and do we need that many chairs in the control room? Anxiety is distiguishable from fear, but it can fit under an umbrella. It is fear not attached to an explicit focus. Boredom in real life is a craving for stimulation. Ennui in the movie is a...
