  - This. -- nm - jnine Nov 8, 16:55

  - yes!!!!!!!!!!!! -- nm - mud Nov 8, 16:47
I can confirm this is what our sky looks like right now -- (pic) - mud Nov 8, 16:39 [Attachment] 4

      - thunder now! -- (link) - mud Nov 8, 17:08
Aaron Boone to return as manager after Yankees pick up option -- (link) - Beaker 🍺 Nov 8, 16:38
The anchor tenet of conservative politics is to cause discord among people who should be allies. Finger-pointing plays right into that. -- nm - David Nov 8, 16:05 9
- Trump gets off on setting people up to fight each other. -- nm - loosilu Nov 8, 16:42
- Right? - ReluctantCynic Nov 8, 16:40
- So let’s stop arguing about politics and talk about the important stuff. Like how bad a superhero the flash is. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 8, 16:15 5
  - Flash is pretty awesome, though. - ReluctantCynic Nov 8, 16:41 4
    - Batman isn't even a superhero, he's just a rich emo vigilante. -- nm - ty97 Nov 8, 16:49 3
      - "a fictional hero having extraordinary or superhuman powers; also : an exceptionally skillful or successful person." - ReluctantCynic Nov 8, 17:04 2
        
        according to Robin, he can also be a menace -- (pic) - Peglegpete Nov 8, 17:33 [Attachment]

colin, yes I've seen some of that racism on the Internet from some random libs/dems/progressives/whoever. - ty97 Nov 8, 15:48 14
- I agree about here, but that post from reddit was borderline and I wanted to address it. -- nm - colin Nov 8, 16:34 13
  - Substitute 'white people on ACA' or any other group that voted for Trump in that meme. - ty97 Nov 8, 16:37 12
    - I agree that it’s borderline, because why does the post not say “white people on ACA that voted for Trump”? Why single out Latinos that did? -- nm - Roger More Nov 8, 16:52 11
      - Because they were the biggest demographic shift of the election? -- nm - ty97 Nov 8, 17:03 10
        
        To me, that’s why it’s borderline - it’s on the basis of race, but it’s also easy to provide a rationale. It’s how dog whistles work. - Roger More Nov 8, 17:18 9
        
        I don't disagree, but if we take color out of the conversation, it's also Occam's Razor. - David Nov 8, 17:20 8
        
        It’s conversation worthy, but we’re talking about a shitpost here. It’s the equivalent of “just asking questions” - Roger More Nov 8, 17:28 2
        
        I'd never heard of Leopards Ate My Face until people here mentioned it earlier this year. And I agree with your point here. It's not healthy. -- nm - David Nov 8, 17:32 1
        
        Right now it's catharsis, which I think we all deserve a little of. -- nm - Reagen Nov 8, 18:02
        
        This is why I'm saying really consider what you're posting - colin Nov 8, 17:24 4
        
        With all due respect I'm a woman living under Donald Trump's thumb. Be careful how much grace you ask for from me. -- nm - amanda Nov 8, 17:36 3
        
        Can I get a witness? -- nm - Turd Ferguson Nov 8, 17:38 2
        
        I mean - amanda Nov 8, 17:39 1
        
        Been a minute. - Turd Ferguson Nov 8, 17:41
THere's one thing I'm relieved about, just as I was in 2016. We don't have to suffer thr 4 years of MAGAs going after Kamala. - loosilu Nov 8, 15:43 1

Speaking of the news environment (sorry I'm going to share from twitter), here's a thread that has info I was unaware of. I knew the online stuff, but - pmb Nov 8, 14:44 2

  - uh, and like the guys were angels? -- nm - JD Nov 8, 15:27
  - I never watched Season 2. It was a hard R show that at least introduced me to Hunter Schafer and had great music/score. -- nm - Qale Nov 8, 14:45 2
    - If they could dial it back down from 11, I'd be more inclined to watch. - ReluctantCynic Nov 8, 14:53 1
      - Agreed on Skins for sure. -- nm - Qale Nov 8, 16:02
  - tbh, it's really good. it's really brutal. it's not so much about sex as it is about addiction. -- nm - colin Nov 8, 14:23 4
    - Really wrote themselves into a corner with the end of S2…only threads left to pull are super dark and only Z would be featured -- nm - Trending Nov 8, 14:42 3
      - Plus, haven’t the actors aged out of their roles at this point? -- nm - Dano Nov 8, 14:45 2
        
        this is why any more Stranger Things will be really .. strange. -- nm - colin Nov 8, 14:48 1

- This is my shocked face. -- nm - David Nov 8, 13:54
I do wonder if Trey and Matt will call it a wrap on South Park for good? I dont see them having the energy or will to want to make more seasons. -- (edited) - Jovian Nov 8, 13:34 1
- I haven’t watched in a while, but they could take this opportunity to go back to not being a hyper time sensitive satire. -- nm - Qale Nov 8, 14:48

- fucking idiots. -- nm - Remlik Nov 8, 13:20
- Ok - I'm broken. They've broken me. Because my first thought was to laugh at that tweet and be happy about it. nm - Turd Ferguson Nov 8, 13:19 3
  - Wait - looking at all the news stories about this - none of them mention the tariffs. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Nov 8, 13:24 2
    - Nissan is smart enough not to say that too openly or too publicly. BORK BORK BORK! -- (edited) - Swedish Chef Nov 8, 13:30 1
      - Left off the…. Bork, Bork! -- nm - VMan Nov 8, 13:40

    - this is among the best things I've seen since the election -- (link) - amanda Nov 8, 14:15 18
      - okay, so this is what con_carne and other folks are rightfully upset about. this is scapegoating and also assuming ignorance. - colin Nov 8, 14:23 16
        
        I'm a white woman, I'm getting blamed for it too. -- nm - loosilu Nov 8, 15:35
        
        People voted for others to get hurt, under the assumption they wouldn’t get caught in the collateral damage. - znufrii Nov 8, 14:35 14
        
        Exactly. -- nm - amanda Nov 8, 17:34
        
        I'm not saying people didn't vote for others to get hurt. The one thing that the GOP has done a great job on is making people feel less ashamed - colin Nov 8, 14:45 12
        
        I will do my part to help his voters feel ashamed. -- nm - loosilu Nov 8, 15:36
        
        No one's blaming all Latinos. They're blaming the ones that voted for Trump. Same as any group that voted for him. -- nm - Reagen Nov 8, 14:48 10
        
        just because you're only being a racist to *some* Latinos doesn't make it not racist. (and yes, some are blaming ALL Latinos) - colin Nov 8, 15:10 9
        
        The good news is that the blame is already shifting from Latinos to Gen Z -- nm - Roger More Nov 8, 16:02
        
        "They're not sending their best. They're sending drug smugglers. They're sending rapists...and some are good people " -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 8, 15:58
        
        Some people are also blaming all white women. I'm not taking it personally. -- nm - loosilu Nov 8, 15:39
        
        It's not racist to say that people who voted for Trump, regardless of ethnicity, are assholes. I don't discriminate on that. - Reagen Nov 8, 15:15 5
        
        Sure, but focusing on one race is a problem, that's what I'm talking about. -- nm - colin Nov 8, 16:36
        
        (and I don't control random people on the internet, as powerful as I am) -- nm - Reagen Nov 8, 15:17 3
        
        not with that attitude. -- nm - mafic Nov 8, 16:08 1
        
        Heh. -- nm - David Nov 8, 16:10
        
        It's surprisingly easy to get random people to fight. So tyhere's limited power. -- nm - loosilu Nov 8, 15:39
      - this is amazing -- (link) - Reagen Nov 8, 14:17 [BS]
  - They won't recognize it as such, though. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 8, 13:26 2
