"Clinton and Trump are both more strongly disliked than any nominee at this point in the past 10 presidential cycles." - ML May 5, 06:33 5
- But one of the big differences between them, Trump is almost as disliked in his own party as he is by the opposition. - Jim May 5, 06:36 4

Is the practice of referring to a ship/plane as female A) a sign of affection toward the vessel B) misogynisticC) both? - prayformojo May 5, 06:03 15
- [deleted]
- In the historic romance languages was ship a male or female noun? -- nm - ty97 May 5, 06:19 1
  - "boat" is masculine in Spanish, but seems to be feminine in Italian. - Jim May 5, 06:34
- A -- nm - Beaker May 5, 06:10
- C -- nm - znufrii May 5, 06:06
- based on a desire to make everything have a personality. like naming your car. -- nm - Truman May 5, 06:05
- D) historical. - spamlet May 5, 06:04 8
  - Plenty of historical things are out of affection, misogynist or both. -- nm - Roger More May 5, 06:57
  - Yup. I was told as a kid that inanimate objects like boats, cars, and planes get female names. Though, that might be a due to misogyny. -- nm - Krusty May 5, 06:11 6
    - given that the corresponding ship names are and were historically also given as an honorific, I have a hard time finding misogyny -- nm - ML May 5, 06:18 5
      - I was talking about privately owned boats and not military ships. -- nm* - Krusty May 5, 06:21 4
        
        still, who would name their boat or plane after something they inherently disliked? The logic is totally whack -- nm - Beaker May 5, 06:27 2
        
        Not so much dislike but contempt maybe. It's likely just that men got to name things and chose a female name because they - Krusty May 5, 06:31
        
        "I love your boat, why'd you name it Veronica?" "After my wife, I hate that bitch and wanted to be reminded of that every time I see it" -- nm - Beaker May 5, 06:28

    - I haven't read the script so I wouldn't rule this out quite yet. -- nm - LMS May 5, 06:50
    - That was always the grossest idea to me. First, when your a kid your mom will see it when doing the laundry. Second, I have to wear that again. - Krusty May 5, 06:18

- I'll pick it up Used in about 6 months like I did with Arkham Knight. -- nm - Strongbad May 5, 06:05
- uncharted has always been one of my favorite games. I just dont know if I can justify buying the ps4 just to play it. -- nm - Truman May 5, 05:51 8
  - You clearly picked the wrong console. -- nm - Shaun May 5, 05:57 7
    - i ran the orxy raid last night. and when i say ran, I mean we spent as much time trying to find people to join as we did actually playing - Truman May 5, 05:59 6
      - How did you get nothing from Golgoroth challenge mode? -- nm - Shaun May 5, 06:03 5
        
        because the randoms I was playing with kept effing it up, so we had to play through it normal like. - Truman May 5, 06:04 4
        
        Gross. Did you get a ToM yet? -- nm - Shaun May 5, 06:08 3
        
        yeah i have it. i think i maybe the only ster on the xbone that has one. - Truman May 5, 06:36 2
        
        I'm not going to say ToM is required for Sisters and Oryx, but it's the best tool you can have. - Shaun May 5, 06:48 1
        
        most of them understood the mechanics, its just they dont have the best guns. - Truman May 5, 06:54
J -- quick question -- are you intending on resetting that large portfolio or do you want to start a new one tomorrow at $2mil? - Will Hunting May 5, 05:44 3
- Ya, I messed that up. I'll start a new one and join again -- nm - J May 5, 06:52 1
  - I've removed that one so you're good. -- nm - Will Hunting May 5, 06:56
- don't reset crazy people!!! -- nm - Beaker May 5, 05:47
there was a news story here about how both Hillary and Trump are now trying to attract bernie supports. - Truman May 5, 05:43 62

    - "Authoritarian" is the best label I've found. and people that accept authoritarian leaders support him. -- nm - Strongbad May 5, 06:55
  - [deleted]
  - i know what you mean - both sides hate the status quo and want a revolution for the little guy. -- nm - Andie May 5, 05:55
  - They really don't. -- nm - Krusty May 5, 05:51 7
    - [deleted] 6
      - I need a better explanation. How is the far left like the far right when it comes to policy? - Krusty May 5, 06:24 5
        
        It's because the policy ideas of both the far left and the far right are unrealistic, so they rely on authoritarian control to implement them. - Roger More May 5, 07:04
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. -- nm - Krusty May 5, 06:28 2

        Here's an interesting example of this sort of thing from 19th century California. -- (link) - znufrii May 5, 06:38
  - I .... don't agree -- nm - ty97 May 5, 05:50
  - oh that i know. I mean, just look at st. look at it. dont blink. -- nm - Truman May 5, 05:50
- Going from Bernie to Trump makes zero sense politically. If anyone does that then they weren't listening to Bernie and didn't understand his position -- (edited) - Krusty May 5, 05:48 18
  - If as a Bernie supporter you despise the political establishment but want to remain politically engaged, where do you go? -- nm - znufrii May 5, 05:54 16
    - Not to the right and Trump. You either stay home or vote for a third party candidate if there is one. - Krusty May 5, 05:56 8
      - it is people who are sick to death of status-quo politicians who support both Bernie and Trump. -- nm - Andie May 5, 06:02 5
        
        I understand that but they're not at all alike otherwise. You don't go from supporting the far left candidate to the far right. - Krusty May 5, 06:08 4
        
        of course, policy wise there are completely different. not everyone votes on issues though. -- nm - Andie May 5, 06:14 3
        
        What are they voting on if not the issues? -- nm - Krusty May 5, 06:23 2
        
        emotion. you aren't accounting for emotion. here's an example. -- (link) - Andie May 5, 06:23 [Backboard] 1
        
        Good point. -- nm - Krusty May 5, 06:24
      - If you want an outsider, you back an outsider - znufrii May 5, 05:58 1
        
        Thank goodness for your IM. -- nm - Krusty May 5, 06:01
    - Canada? -- nm - Beaker May 5, 05:55
    - Green Party -- nm - ty97 May 5, 05:55 5

        "You say you want a revolution" - ty97 May 5, 05:58 3
        
        Trump isn't exactly status quo. - znufrii May 5, 06:01 2
        
        Sure, but if you're a liberal that wants to break from the status quo, why on earth would you go Trump? - ty97 May 5, 06:03 1
        
        it's not a logical decision, it's a 'fuck it, i want change' decision. I don't see many liberals voting Trump, but i do see a lot of democrats who - Andie May 5, 06:04
  - "I'd like chocolate ice cream." "We're out." "OK, then I'll have some liver and onions." -- nm - Reagen May 5, 05:53
- Any Bernie supporter that goes to Trump was never a liberal. -- nm - ty97 May 5, 05:48 1
  - Yup, yup. -- nm - Krusty May 5, 05:49
- Some Trump supporters and some Bernie supporters are a lot closer than you think. - spamlet May 5, 05:48 18
  - [deleted]
  - There's no way they're close. Even if they find common ground on one issue they're miles apart everywhere else. -- nm - Krusty May 5, 05:50 4
    - They find common ground on the concept that the system is broken and corrupt. And Hillary is part of the system. Some just want it all shaken up and - pmb May 5, 06:26
    - there are a lot of people who are one issue voters. sometimes that makes strange bedfellows. -- nm - Truman May 5, 05:52 2
      - I don't believe anyone is actually a one issue voter that ignores everything else and just focuses on trade, immigration, etc. - Krusty May 5, 05:55
      - Understood. My point was that if you asked Bernie supporters to list their top three issues they support him for. - ty97 May 5, 05:54
  - They definitely align on anti-trade. I just doubt that was issue #1 for more than a handful of Bernie supporters -- (edited) - ty97 May 5, 05:50 11
    - Outside of the cities, I'd bet you were wrong. - spamlet May 5, 05:58 10
      - and then that town in Nebraska says "no thanks, cause immigrants" -- nm - Beaker May 5, 06:00 2
        
        There was more to that story than just immigrants. To say that's the only reason the town turned it down is silly. -- nm - spamlet May 5, 06:02 1
        
        it seemed to be a driver, but your right it wasn't the only thing and their unemployment was only 3% so they had the luxury to decline -- nm - Beaker May 5, 06:03
      - That IM makes me bristle over how fucking stupid it is (on the part of the candidates saying it) - ty97 May 5, 05:59 6
        
        Yup. Those jobs are never coming back and people need to smarten up and realize that and move on. We're not a manufacturing - Krusty May 5, 06:04
        
        Yes, but it's a lie you want to (have to?) believe. Those are the areas I was talking about. - spamlet May 5, 06:01 4
        
        I still can't see anyone going from Bernie to Trump, even if this is the biggest issue for someone. - Krusty May 5, 06:05 3
        
        Again, because that's your perspective. Economic issues trump all else and if someone is promising to bring your factory back while you're unemployed - spamlet May 5, 06:08 2

        Hillary was for free trade before this election. NAFTA, TPP, the EU FTA being negotiated is all under Democrats. -- nm - spamlet May 5, 07:00
