or maybe it was the fact that will and grace, for all of its flaws, was better at humanizing homosexuals than the current trough of pigslop they're trying to shovel down our throats that holds them up on some unattainable pedestal of perfection, even though anyone with two brain cells to rub together can see that the characters are sociopathic mary sues...
let's be honest...
...it was probably dollars to begin with...
because this bullshit has become white noise at this point?
you can the wins you can get, not the wins you can't, lol.
It's not exactly as if there is a surfeit of pleasant people here.
But normally, anti-abortion advocates say that they only want to go after the doctors.
I can only speak for myself on this, but here goes.
on the one hand, the moral choice would be to go after the doctors and the women, but as you said, there are pragmatic reasons not to. If the goal is to stop as many abortions as possible while shifting what little public support there is in favor of stopping abortions as little as possible, then it makes sense to target doctors(god i hope that's not too confusing, lol). it's a trade off. =/
I like it when people make good arguments (not very common), even ones that poke holes in my logic.
yeah, but text-based conversations are prone to misunderstandings, and I tend to overthink things, so here we are, lmao.
It's not an either
let's use a less politically charged example to explore this question. If I were to hire somebody to kill my boss (not that I would, but stay with me), am I the murderer, or is the guy who I hired the murderer? the answer is we were both accomplices to the act.
in the case of the abortion, this would mean that both were culpable, which raises the stats in both directions, though disproportionately on one side.
not trying to be a dick here, but I'm a little too autistic not to poke that hole in the logic, lol.
lol, my point. there are people who will believe it, no matter how absurd the premise...
oh i dunno...there were a couple guys back in the thirties...
People still think they were right-wing, all I'm saying...
good.
play stupid games, win stupid prizes...
one way would be a requirement that only participants may vote for winners. there's problems here too, but it would at least prevent sock-puppeting.
edit: revisiting this post, because "prevention" is impposible, but I think a voting requirement that to vote you have to participate could help combat such devious tactics, especially with ranked voting as someone else pointed out.
one epileptic kid away from a massive lawsuit...
...i'd say it feels like the sci-fi of the era, pre-star wars...somber and often downright depressing.
definitely has a different tone than the actual film, though...
...should mention i haven't played a street fighter title since they had a two in them, and so I was severely unprepared for this...
ah. okay.
yeah...most artists do better when they have limitations put on them. working within or around those limitations helps them refine otherwise overlooked problems in their work...
...kinda explains why so many seem to turn to authoritarianism even though they chafe at those restrictions...
always trying to use the whills as the people writing this down
sorry, not trying to be a dick here, but...was that a typo or an idiom i'm not familiar with?😅
the big problem with the prequels is the same problem with the special editions and every edition of the original trilogy since...lucas' ego got too big.
with the original trilogy, he relied heavily on consultation with other filmmakers, many of whom were far more experienced than he at the time.
problem was, star wars took off like a rocket at the box office, and made him an overnight sucess. it's a rare man or woman who can be called a "genius" after his first big movie and not get a swelled head about it...
always glad to help.
funny you mention that, have you ever heard alex jone's take on the prequels?
I was just thinking about this, and for a man that often goes off the rails, he has surprisingly coherent takes when he calms down, lol.
you joke, but the sad part is they'd probably do it if they could...
yeah, that sounds like the kinda answer you'd get from a bureaucrat alright, lol.
I like Desantis, but this is pretty much why I don't trust career politicians... stupid stunts like this are pretty much the modus operandi for that type...
pregnancy uniforms for tank crews
...forget how morally repugnant that idea even is, how the fuck would a pregnant woman fit in a tank in the first place? isn't space generally at a premium in those things!?!

expect to dig a lil bit.
that being said, it doesn't hurt to support the creators if you can help it.
what I mean is, will and grace showed them as human beings, flawed and imperfect. modern shows have a severe problem as presenting them as the creator's idea of "perfect," which usually means an idealized version of themselves, aka, a mary sue.
