Who you calling a NIMBY? Did you even read the article you posted?

Salonen supports last month’s announcement to build 10,000 affordable and attainable homes in the region by 2030.

She’s quite literally the opposite of a NIMBY.

Yeah, seems like the poster didn’t read the actual article, either

Part of the problem, eh?

when asked whether they agreed with the statement that members of the opposing party are “not just worse for politics—they are downright evil,” 42 percent of both Republicans and Democrats responded “yes.”

Yikes, that’s a terrifying mentality for 42 percent of people to have, that’s downright ruinous to any attempts to salvage the democratic system.

Fair point, and made me laugh

Meh, if that were the reason Google Maps would also be unavailable

In this case I’m pretty sure it’s a play on “coomer,” given the masturbatory nature of the referenced mentality

Edit: clarification + link added

Ah, my accursed genetic forbearer

Yeah, I’ve been seeing a lot of sensationalist posts from this user tbh

She’s enough of a chode that the Guardian shouldn’t have to resort to trash clickbait about how she hired the same web designer, jfc…

Supposedly Alexander the Great went to visit Diogenes in a suburb of Corinth to see what his deal was. When Alexander asked if Diogenes wanted anything from him, Diogenes reported replied “yes, move, you’re blocking the sun.”

Afterwards, Alexander was so amused and impressed that he’s quoted as saying “it I were not Alexander, I wish I were Diogenes.”

Fucking awesome.

Yeah, def leave them alone for the most part.

The “show P2P links” option should only be used if you’ve set yourself up with a VPN, since that’s just straight streaming torrent files. I personally never use it, since it’s usually slow and laggy, and will look for the media on another source if necessary.

For the subtitles, there’s should def be other options to try in the same language, but sometimes for more obscure media you’ll have to adjust the timing on what subtitles are available.

Are the comics better than the shows? Because this has been a rough ride

Ok, good for you, but that’s beside the point.

This article is reactionary, leftist apologetics for yet another “socialist” politician who’s being publicly called out because her political actions don’t really line up with her professed progressive views.

She’s clearly a decent enough politician, and yeah, she’s willing to compromise, but she’s also 1) disingenuously representing herself as something that she’s not, or 2) not self-aware enough to realize that she’s a social democrat and not a democratic socialist.

Either way, her behavior doesn’t line up with her professed leftism, but does increasingly align neatly with standard, neoliberal Democratic policy. She’s become a part of the establishment, and got there by riding the anti-establishment, socialist sentiment in young people. Not sure how that could be considering anything but problematic.

I recommend Stremio w/ Torrentio + RealDebrid instead of Kodi. Much more secure as you’re not installing potentially malicious plugins onto your machine, and it has a significantly better UI. Plus you can run it on your phone!

You’re misunderstanding me (probably because I misspelled “defers” as “differs”).

I’m saying she, as a proclaimed “progressive,” generally isn’t that progressive at all and generally defers to centrist, Democratic Party leaders: she does what they say rather than sticking to her ostensibly much more leftist guns.

It absolutely is hero worship any time someone is put on a pedestal and their flaws are ignored.

That’s what the author of the linked article has explicitly done. He waves away the fact that she consistently defers to Democratic Party leadership—except for occasional, “token gestures of resistance to solidify the illusion” that she’s a hard-line leftist—and then holds her up as the face of progressivism.

If that’s not hero worship idk what is.

Edit: spelling

I mean, the article linked is an AOC apologist quite literally bending “definitions and rules to make exceptions” for her after another columnist said she was “just a regular old Democrat now.”

Branding the progressive left the “AOC Left” is also problematic and indicative of some hero worship on the author’s part.
