    @taiwan_girl said in So much for “Coattails without a coat”: @horace said in So much for “Coattails without a coat”: @taiwan_girl said in So much for “Coattails without a coat”: I guess I was more surprised at how much split there was a while ago. I think today, most people are going to say, "I am going to vote for a (Republic/Democrat) all the way. Does not matter who is on the ballot!" Are they wrong to think that way? Or are they just coming to terms with the huge differences in the platforms? I think that it shows generally that people will vote for a party name rather than what the person says. Depends on the voter - if they think party is more important than what the person stands for. When the party platforms diverge to a certain extent, it makes total sense to vote party lines in national elections. Local elections can definitely get more granular. This is an idea I've been attempting to teach TNCR for a very long time.

    @taiwan_girl said in US military strike on Iran-backed militias in Syria (2021 Feb.): General question - I assume that the president of the US can do this "on his own", or does he have to have some sort of approval from Congress? In what cases, does he or doesn't he need approval? That’s the question.

Yeah, it came with a fair-trade coffee mug and a coupon code for 10% off fucking your sister. Aqua, I'm sure it was just a simple typing error, but the two words before sister are in the wrong order. I suppose that's true! Just yanking your manbun a bit. However, it is true I read your every word. Cross my heart.

    @mik said in Quarrel in the annals of music theory: Being able to hear and appreciate that music is a very new development. One of the points that Greenberg makes in his music courses is that, until the early 20th century, the ONLY ways that one could hear music was to either attend a performance, or make it yourself.

    @catseye3 said in Liberalism is a mental disease after all !?: @horace said in Liberalism is a mental disease after all !?: Wow. And I thought I could be condescending towards the political opposition. Obviously my approach was wrong. My greater point is that one mindset cannot validly draw sweeping conclusions about an entire other mindset and hope to reach any useful truths. I laid my post out to demonstrate how fucking foolish it is to even try. Actually one thing we do have some scientific data on is that people who self-identify as liberal tend to have conceptions of the political opposition more divorced from reality than do conservatives regarding their opposition. The people who's understanding of the opposition is most divorced from reality, are in fact high status liberals. We've discussed that study here before.

    @rainman said in Hey, Aqua.: Aqua: "And because my thing is so weird, I need someone who's willing to explain this shit to me." Well, without boasting, that would be me. But, I'm willing to let others chime in first, that's just the type of guy I am. I've had iritis, so I am an expert too. I always have those eye drops at hand, even if on vacation. My entire life is just one blissful vacation. Life is grand, just a wonderful dream, one after another, living the dream when somewhere near cognizant. Eye drops are fine, as long as I have only two eyes. Seriously, seems you're getting some good advice and answers, sorry you had to go through so much crap to just get an honest and realistic assessment for what's going on. Just be aware of closed-angle glaucoma.
