2024 ELECTION THREAD
The next presidential race will be here soon! Please see current Bovada odds. Thoughts?
I want to say something supportive, but don't know what to say. It's the thought that counts.
Signing off this way seems bad, but I don't think it will bother you....
Cheers!
All good bro. I was never trying to quit. As a result of circumstances I happened to go cold turkey for like half a year. Wasn't really a well thought out thing, not like I was crossing days off the calendar.
Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
I could riff off the people I think are smarter than I am who have posted here.
Well named

Struggling for more. Maybe some obvious ones I've missed, dunno.
I dunno if I should prob include Gorgo since he drilled me with that ****ing fiancetto'ed bishop. But if I start adding all the people who have ever beaten me at anything, the universe is probably not going to be large enough to contain that list.
And also, while Dvaut1 is one of the most articulate people I've ever met/seen, he definitely overused the word "revanchist".

Looks like I'm 4-2 against you in chess hmmm
"based on science with covid"
please, they were guessing
and it was all rules for thee but not for me
mask up
guessing ?
nah.
that is whats great with science, it can changes with the increase information it processes but it doesnt guess.
and fwiw better be safe then sorry .
maybe mask was annoying but better be annoying then end up being dead by not masking if they got it wrong..
but i suppose you are against climate changes too.
there seem to have a big misunderstanding on risk ratio on the republican camp.
Luckbox - blitz or correspondence? I fancy my chances in both. 50 bucks to charity?
I also said I'd beat you at chess. I lie a lot.
Ill challenge you for one game if you want, i got 20 mins
i sent challenge
It was broken into trimesters(~13wks fwiw not 22-24). Second, states could regulate based on mother's health. Third, states could regulate/ban except when mother's life was at risk.
A hell of a lot of people, including many conservatives, agree with those general guidelines.
No man please check again your sources.
Roe was about "viability", IE you could abort as long as the fetus couldn't survive by itself outside the womb. And that's around 22-24 weeks.
Trimesters is what we use in Italy and some other European countries (more or less).
It’s the last part I’m interested in, yes. Luciom is trying to say calling someone a Nazi is more inflammatory than calling someone a communist. But by the definitions of how those terms are used in American politics that’s just not clear to me.
In the USA yes it objectively is and it's not even close.
American soldiers killed a lot more people from fascist (going with the current definition) countries than in communist countries.
Japanese people in particular.
They for example were the only target in the history of the world of atom bombs.
So america as a country and Americans as people drew a ton more fascist blood, and were culturally praised for it, than they ever drew communist blood.
So calling someone a fascist makes it more moral under cultural American norms for him to be a target of "justified" violence than calling someone a communist and it's not even close.
Some other countries have different history, calling someone a communist I'm say Indonesia would be a bigger incitement to violence than fascism sure.
lol, where did the nazi's come in to play here? i said that republicans call democrats commies and then lil mussolini said 'yeah but commie are your friends..'
...and then yeah...you guys did predictable things and here we are...
Fascism is equal to Nazi in American parlance, and btw Trump has been called a Nazi as well as a fascist many times
I'd probably agree that Nazi is a worse label for U.S. politics than communist, but it doesn't really matter. If either labels sticks, you are politically non-viable.
Topic is which label could convince some people that killing that person is morally justifiable more, IE which label is more of an incitement to violence, which violence is stochastically more likely to cause assassination attempts.
And the answer is clear cut and it's what the democrats are labeling trump and his allies.

Roe uses viability as the starting point for the state to have an interest in protecting the fetus. You claim about Roe is dead wrong.
It certainly uses trimesters as it stated that because abortion is a constitutionally protected right of privacy, the state has no ability to regulate abortions in the first trimester.
However, Casey and Roe really have to be read together.
